The 10 Best Day Trips from in Copenhagen, Zealand

December 29, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, and you can still find traces of the Norse explorers here. Visit reconstructed villages, the remains of a 1,000-year-old castle, and museums dedicated to the notorious raiders. Copenhagen also features a blend of modern architecture and historical artifacts such as the Round Tower observatory – a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture. Art galleries, narrow streets, canals, parks, and Baroque churches round out the city’s cultural attractions.

Rented a touring bike to bike around Österlen. The bike was excellent with great comfort, and the staff service minded to help me get the most out of my trip. The ship was close to the trains so we could get on Pågatågen quick and easy.

It was great to be able to go around freely and at our own pace. Malmo has a great infrastructure for biking in place, and it is really easy to go around. For the small one (6 yrs) we choose to get a cargostyle bike, which worked out really well.

See the attractions outside Copenhagen. The only tour that not only includes the royal castles but also visits the former capital, Roskilde. You see a lot more than on the other tours. You also get a more personal experience because we operate in small groups of 16 people or less. Knowledgeable and English speaking guide.

Inclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off from hotels in the center of Copenhagen, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Small group size (no more than 16 people - usually less), English speaking and knowledgeable guide

Exclusions: You pay for what you order at a nice local café, In the months November to March - It will solely be a photostop outside the Roskilde Cathedral

Reviewed By Brian L

Having said that we booked the "Group Option", there was only myself and my wife on the bus, so we had our guide Svend all to ourselves. Collection was from our hotel in a smart 16 seater minibus and we set off to Roskilde for visits to the Cathedral (where all the Kings & Queens are buried) and then to the Viking Ship museum. We particularly enjoyed the ship museum and if you are planning a private tour would suggest you make sure enough time is spent here. Then it is off to Hillerod and after lunch in the town a walk around Fredriksborg Castle. - If you want to see all the castle and walk round the gardens you need to get a move on. Your guide will almost certainly recommend you include the Castle Chapel on your tour. Back on the bus and off to the final stop at Kronborg Castle in Helsingborg. An interesting tour round the inside with a mock performance of part of Hamlet, followed by a walk onto the ramparts with views of Sweden. It's a lot to fit into a single day and your guide does have to keep you moving, so you don't always get as long as you want at each location.

We had a great day with our guide Christel. Such a lovely lady, who speaks perfect English. Because it was early season my husband and I were the only 2 on the tour. We saw loads of the sights and learned much along the way. We particularly enjoyed the cycling session which was a great way of reaching interesting sites outside the central city. Thank you Christel for making our trip to Copenhagen so memorable!
