Denmark · WALKING TOURS
Danish city centres are built for feet and hostile to almost everything else. These 15 walks cover Copenhagen, the old town at Aarhus and the castle grounds, priced by length, with a note on which ones run after dark.

Walk Copenhagen’s historic center from Gammel Strand to Amalienborg with guides such as Thor, Roger, Steen, and Magnus. Expect Christiansborg, Nyhavn, the Royal Theatre, and royal palaces, plus Danish history, Hans Christian Andersen, practical tips, and jokes that can cross the line.
“The tour was enchanting. Our guide Roger was very artistic, with a theatrical touch and a very balanced, intelligent and quick humor, and really funny. It's easy to listen to so many facts about the history and life of the city and Denmark like this. In addition, the cool atmosphere they create makes it easy to meet other travelers and mingle. I would eliminate the easy joke about the Catholic Church and pedophilia only because there may be people affected by it on the tour and it can be very painful to relive it, besides being an unfair comment to the rest of Catholics who have fought against this.

Walk from Urban House through Central Station, Vesterbro, the Meatpacking District, and the red-light district while sampling eight Danish beers, about one liter in all. Guides such as Thor, Martin, Roger, and Derek mix local history with crude jokes. This is an outdoor beer walk, not a pub crawl.

“To be honest this tour is decieving. It’s called hippies and Christianshavn tour but you don’t actually get a tour of the free people town as it’s not allowed. If that’s what you’re looking for, this isn’t the tour for you.”
Pick a canal, a castle or a bakery.
