Things to do in Copenhagen, Zealand: The Best Private Tours

May 4, 2022 Randal Brittian

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.

Although I know Copenhagen quite well, the Hidden Gems tour took me to places I wasn't aware of (like tucked-away backyards) or had never noticed before (e.g. historic buildings). I very much enjoyed strolling through Christianshavn, paying attention to details I am usually oblivious of and hearing about the history of the neighbourhood. I received helpful advice in terms of how to frame my pictures, from where to shoot, and what settings to use. My guide also taught me how to create lens flares which I found really cool. Thanks for an enjoyable and informative afternoon!

We were happy to have Nadia as a guide, who was absolutely nice and welcoming. A genuine professional that could quickly notice what triggered our interest along the tour and bring up more interesting details to meet our curiosity. It really just felt like walking around with a friend who is truly passionate about Danish culture herself and together enjoying the beautiful places we were seeing. This tour option turned out perfect for the corona time when everything is closed because, even though you cannot enter the castles or the library or anything, there is a person who can describe it to you in a comprehensive and captivating way. Definitely enjoyed this experience.

And we ate it all! Seraina was very knowledgeable about the area. Showed us a great variety of Danish foods and when we went to get our Danish hotdogs and everything closed she did everything she could to make sure we had our hotdog in whatever form we could find. Great conversation and lot of fun. Hope to see her again.

The legendary creatures of Danish folklore are more than just the Little Mermaid immortalised by H. C. Andersen. The Danish bestiary also includes such monsters as man-eating trolls, dragons who hoard treasures and fight against bulls, the heraldic wild men depicted on the royal coat of arms and the strange creature known as the ”Sea Bishop”. Even the centre of Copenhagen that draws the most tourists and traffic is haunted by mythical beasts who are seen in statues, reliefs and artwork on buildings. Yet many of these monsters remain unknown to most visitors. You can, however, now fill this gap in your folkloric knowledge with this self-guided GPS audio tour. Download the HidDenmark Monstour VoiceMap unto your Smartphone. It will guide you on a journey from the Tivoli amusement park over the Copenhagen Stock Exchange to the canals, while narrating how weird tales of strange and terrible beings have shaped the capitol of the country.

Inclusions: Lifetime access to this English audio tour, VoiceMap app for Andriod or iOS, Offline access to audio, maps, and geodata

Exclusions: Smartphone and headphones, Transportation, Food and drinks, Tickets or entrance fees to any museums or other attractions en route
