The 15 Best Walking Tours in Copenhagen

37 tours  ·  from $7 a head

Two kilometres covers the old centre, so the guide matters more than the route. These 15 walks differ on group size, how much history you get and whether the guards at Amalienborg are timed into it, with prices and start points for each.

“Perfect day to walk through Copenhagen and Christiania. Our tour guide was very fun and entertaining. He didn't hold back. He was a wealth of information regarding an area that is rich in history and stories. Christiania is going through a huge transition (weed" is no longer sold on Pusher Street), and he provided all the details behind why. Guides aren't allowed in Christiania, but after the tour was over, he took a walk through the area while giving some food and beer recommendations. My only complaint was it was Caribbean night in Nemoland the day we were there. Nothing says Denmark like Caribbean night :) If you like to…”
