1.Canal Cruise with Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 9,115 reviews · from $26Our pick

Cruise Copenhagen’s harbor and canals for one hour with an English or Danish guide, passing Christiansborg, Amalienborg, the Opera House, the Little Mermaid, and the old Stock Exchange.

“Our tour guide, if I caught her name correctly was Lola, if not I apologize, allegedly was her first day on the job but it seemed like she’s doing this thing like forever, she was knowledgeable and experienced. She also offered to give tips after the cruise in case anyone wanted. She made the cruise even better. The views from the cruise were gorgeous, with the canals and all the things we saw. Recommended for sure!”
