Welcome to Copenhagen!

Denmark may look relatively small on the map – yet its capital of Copenhagen is an excellent expression of this nation’s huge impact on the world, deservingly attracting much attention and many visitors each year. Once a historical superpower it remains a world-leader in many areas; most significantly in the quality of life of its citizens. With OURWAY Tours you’ll get a slice of this welcoming sense of wellbeing that awaits all in Copenhagen.

You may have heard the word ‘hygge’ – it means ‘cosy’ and is often used to describe the capital and national philosophy. Whilst sometimes difficult to define, with it being a feeling more than something you can touch, the conditions in the city help cultivate such ‘hygge’ moments. Perhaps you’d like to join local Copenhageners who combine the pleasant surroundings of the capital with the joy of cruising on their bikes in the often-named ‘city of cyclists’.

Feeling a little more stationary?; the cafe culture here demands a stop for a coffee and something sweet (there’s a reason they call it a Danish!) With quirky spots to rest in amidst sightseeing, whether alone or in good company, ‘hygge’ is the vibe you’re very likely to experience again and again during your trip.

This flow of good-feeling is undoubtedly influenced by the watery landscape of Copenhagen. It’s pleasant waterways not only soothe the soul but have welcomed a diverse amount of trade and travellers over the years – ever since its founding in 1167. Amongst the amazing mix of renaissance and modern architecture adorning the canals and bodies of water is a recognisably regal flavour. With the country’s monarchy being the ruler of both Sweden and Norway during its history, Copenhagen became a key part of the powerhouse of Denmark that dominated much of Scandinavia through the ages.

Over time, bridges have been built between powers in the Nordics; Norway’s royal lineage being from Danish descent as well as many other beneficial ties to Denmark prevalent throughout Europe! Yet Copenhagen could still be called the Queen of our destinations – or at least the much-loved big sister of the OURWAY Tours family that you’ll be keen to get to know over a coffee!
