Taste Danish treats at TorvehallerneKBH, learn about religion at the Cathedral, visit a market near Christiansborg, and finish with a gift game. Bring one or two wrapped gifts worth 10 to 20 DKK each.
“Great tour - fun way to learn Christmas traditions and some history. The game at the end was very fun! Would definitely recommend!”
You’ll walk from Tivoli Gardens to Kongens Nytorv with a private English-speaking guide, stopping at Højbro Plads, the Stork Fountain, and the seasonal skating rink. Expect Christmas lights, Danish treats, local customs, and stories about Copenhagen’s winter traditions. Tivoli is viewed from outside, and gløgg is named in the tour title, so confirm whether it is included.
“I was in Copenhagen recently for business and I had a free day and I took this tour. It was a much needed refresher for me to see wonderful decorations and preparations for the upcoming Christmas of 2023. The tour guide made this tour interesting by telling the group about how Christmas is celebrated in Copenhagen, and we also saw some landmarks in Copenhagen. I enjoyed this tour.”
Pick a canal, a castle or a table.
