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.

Closed temporarily due to Covid-19. We will open again 1 April 2020 at 11 AM. The Hirschsprung Collection is beautifully situated in the green parklands of the Ostre Anlaeg on the old ramparts of Copenhagen. The museum houses Heinrich and Pauline Hirschsprung's collection of Danish art and first opened its doors to the public in the summer of 1911. The museum was designed by the architect H.B. Storck, while the original interior and display was designed by the art historian Emil Hannover, who also became the museum's first Director. Henrich Hirschsprung donated his collection of Danish art from the 19th century to the Danish state in 1902. The collection houses masterpieces by the Danish Golden age painters such as C.W. Eckersberg, J.Th. Lundbye and Christen Købke as well as artists from the modern period such as the famous Danish painters P.S. Krøyer, Anna Ancher and Vilhelm Hammershøi. Opening hours: Wednesday-Sunday: 11 AM - 4 PM. Admission: Adults 95 DKK. Under 18 free.
A wonderfull museum with 100 years of Dansish art Golden age art, including Hammershøj, Krøyer, Michael Anker just to mention a a few. I recommend you to go there and right now you can enjoy the exhibition with Zahrtmann.

I found this sculpture as I wandered the pier in Copenhagen harbour looking for the Little Mermaid statue. The statute, I later learned, is about The Key to the Future - I found this statue rather sad looking. It is out of the way, near garbage cans and no one was around it, the tourists flocked to the nearby Little Mermaid though. Is it despairing for our future!!!!! Is there a key!!!! I thought a lot more about this statue than I did the Little Mermaid statue!!!!

We sell exclusive private tours in copenhagen for groups of 1 to 4 people. All of our tours are individually planned with the customer and are flexible in terms of time, duration and content.
The 1 hour boat trip from Nyhven around the canals of the city, take in all the main sights and is great and inexpensive way of getting ones bearings of the city. The tour is part audio tour and part chats by a tour guide and both were very informative.The cost was 95 DK which I thought was reasonable in this expensive city.
