Overview

Starting from the lively Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square), this walking tour takes you through the city’s historic heart — from medieval marketplaces and hidden alleys to grand palaces and iconic waterfronts.
You’ll explore Gammeltorv and Nytorv, stroll down the storybook charm of Magstræde, cross the serene Slotsholmskanalen, and stand in the very square where Denmark’s democracy was born. At each stop, riddles and tales reveal the city’s past: kings and commoners, scandals and revolutions, visionaries and romantics.
The journey ends at the colorful canal of Nyhavn, where sailors once drank and Hans Christian Andersen dreamed. There, a massive anchor stands as a solemn reminder of something deeper — but you'll have to guess what, before we reveal the answer.
This is no ordinary city walk. It’s a playful, immersive way to uncover the layers of Copenhagen — one story at a time.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
