Copenhagen - The City of Mermaids - Private Major Sights Half Day Tour

Once a small fishing village, then along came the Bishop Absalon, erected his fortress and slayed the pirates - and the rest is history. We will make our way through this history, see the sights and get to know the stories and the people behind them. From the castles to the courtyards, the royal weddings, the peaceful revolutions, the luxury of the mighty and the misery of the poor - this tour has it all, including a possible explanation to why Copenhagen is consistantly rated among the best cities on the planet. Having lived here all my life, I am sometimes amazed how much I still love this city. I hope to be able to convey what a wonderful place you've decided to visit. There is certainly a potential "Wow" hiding here and there. Let me know about any special interests or places you wish to go.

Depending on the weather, your wishes and interests and how much in a hurry to see it all you are, we could include: Kastellet - the 400 year old citadel Danish design Museum - set in a 18th century hospital The Marble church - 140 years in the making and a beautiful building Amalienborg - the Royal palace Nyhavn - once a bustling harbour, now a buzzing beer scene by the old pier The Royal library Garden - a hidden gem. Christiansborg palace - house of Parliament The National museum, the Workers museum, Rosenborg castle (and the crown jewels) One of the city districts: Vesterbro - once a place only locals and fools dared to go, now a hipsters paradise Nørrebro - diverse, multiethic and home of the city's two most interesting cemetaries or Christianshavn - almost like Amsterdam, but still uniquely danish And most importanly: all the alleys and courtyards where noone ever goes. We will!
