Our Tours

Copenhagen is a city for bikes and pedestrians. Especially in the old inner city dating from the Middle Ages, driving is difficult. The best way to experience the atmosphere and sights of Copenhagen is by walking. As long as you wear comfortable shoes most able bodied persons will have no problem (predominantly flat terrain without steps) – and there will be plenty opportunity to sit and rest occasionally while taking in the sights.

Copenhagen is a very safe city. It is even common place to leave your sleeping baby in its pram outside on the street while you watch it from the comfort of a coffee shop or restaurant. You can walk around and browse in shops at your leisure, there is no hassle in Copenhagen.
