Copenhagen & Rosenborg Castle Private Walking Tour

Højbro Plads, or "Højbro Square," was constructed following the great fire of Copenhagen in the 1700s. The square features an equestrian statue of Bishop Absalon, the founder of the city. During the winter, it hosts one of Copenhagen’s many Christmas markets.

Strøget, Copenhagen’s — and one of Europe’s — longest pedestrian streets, stretches for 1.11 kilometers. Renowned primarily for its shopping, it runs from the Town Hall to Kongens Nytorv near Nyhavn, offering a vast array of stores. Visitors strolling along Strøget will also encounter numerous street performers, including acrobats, magicians, and musicians.

Helligåndskirken (The Church of the Holy Ghost) is one of Copenhagen’s oldest churches, built in the 1200s. Initially, there was no tower.

Gråbrødetorv, or "The Grey Friars Square," is a charming square named after the Franciscan monastery that once occupied the site. It is known for the Stone of Shame, with the original stone preserved at the Natural History Museum. This stone is tied to the story of Leonora Christina, the daughter of Christian IV.

Meander through Copenhagen’s Old Town, home of sites like the Round Tower. The Rundetårn, or "Round Tower," constructed in the 1600s, is the oldest functioning observatory in Europe. However, it was not Denmark's first observatory. Renowned Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe developed the "Tychonian" system—an intricate and advanced model of the solar system for its era.

Rosenborg Castle was originally built as a summer residence for Christian IV. Visitors to the castle can step back in time and immerse themselves in over 400 years of royal life, from daily routines to grand festivities. The castle also houses the Danish crown jewels, which are unique in that they are both exhibited as museum pieces and worn by the royal family.

Marmorkirken, also known as the Marble Church or Frederik's Church, dates back to the 1700s. Today, it is a popular wedding venue, with the bells ringing frequently on Fridays and Saturdays. Visitors can also enjoy a stunning view from the top of the dome, which is open daily.

Amalienborg serves as the official residence of the Royal Family. The former queen, Margrethe, resides in the palace closest to the waterfront on the left, while her son, King Frederik, lives directly across from her with his wife, Mary, and their four children.

Today, the Royal Danish Theatre consists of the Old Stage on Kongens Nytorv, the new Copenhagen Opera House, and the Royal Danish Playhouse, both located by the harbour front.

Nyhavn, originally a busy port filled with ships making deliveries, is now a colourful, must-see site in Copenhagen. Today, Nyhavn holds the nickname "the longest outdoor bar in Scandinavia" due to its many restaurants, pubs, and cafés open 24 hours a day. Nyhavn was once the home of author Hans Christian Andersen.
