City discovery topped with an iconic site, what more do you need? On our Copenhagen’s Old Town & City Hall Private Walking Tour, we’ll give you tales of fires, politics, royalty and a visit to the Copenhagen City Hall.
The story about the tour
If you’re travelling through Europe, Scandinavia or Denmark, looking for the hidden gems your destination (in this case Copenhagen) has to offer, we have one for you that you might not immediately think about, yet it’s right in front of you. What could it be? The Copenhagen City Hall, of course!
If you’ve heard of, visited, or tuned in to the Nobel Prize Ceremonies, you’ve seen the exquisite city halls Scandinavia’s capitals offer (in Oslo & Stockholm). Though not home to a Nobel Prize Ceremony, Copenhagen City Hall is no exception! Although we cannot see as much of this city hall as we can of the others, it is still worth a brief visit to appreciate its beauty. That’s just what we do on our Copenhagen’s Old Town & City Hall Private Walking Tour!
Starting near the Copenhagen Central Station, we’ll set off on our walk, passing by the Tivoli Gardens before reaching the gateway to Copenhagen’s Old Town, the City Hall Square. After marvelling at the Copenhagen City Hall, we’ll wander down cosy alleys of the Old Town, see former city hall buildings (there’s been a few), hear stories about royalty at the Copenhagen Cathedral and learn about famous Danes at the University of Copenhagen. One built one of our next stops, The Round Tower. Walking up a spiralling ramp and a few stairs, we’ll reach the top of the tower for a great view of the area and southern Sweden if it’s a clear day.
Although much of Copenhagen’s Old Town has been touched by sweeping fires and war, not everything was destroyed. Back on the ground, we’ll wander the quiet streets reaching the main shopping street, Strøget, ending with a view of the palace island, Slotsholmen, home to Christiansborg Palace. With tales of fires, politics, royalty and Danish designs, we finish our tour in the heart of Copenhagen, just a stone’s throw from Kongens Nytorv, Nyhavn and the many more things Copenhagen has to offer. Just ask your guide!

Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫
🇸🇪
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.

A few hundred years ago, if you asked a Norwegian how old they were they might reply “I have seen forty winters!” Every year of life was a success! Now, living conditions are of course much improved, but there is no such thing as a mild winter here. Bring thermal underwear, wool and grow a beard... if you can. ❄️☃️☃️
Of course, if you love the snow and want to ski, then you`re in the perfect place, and you get to see the beauty of Oslo in a truly Nordic light! The canvas of white snow - unpredictable but usually arriving in November/December - can provide a canvas of light across the city that makes up for the few hours of sunlight the people of Oslo get to enjoy. While still beautiful, it`s best to stay inside! ✨✨

The temperature might not be super-cold in Winter in Copenhagen, but strong winds make it quite chilly. 🌬 The city is still quite magical. 🌟 The Christmas markets open already in the middle of November so that you can warm up with a hot Gløgg! Expect 10 to 13 rainy days per month.

The first snow is here with us in Stockholm! 😍❄
Södermalm (the South Island) is the largest of all the islands that make up Stockholm. For the majority of Stockholm`s existence, it has been the home of the poor and the working class. Not anymore! Today, the hipsters have well and truly transformed Södermalm into a trendy place to live, work and play. 🐱👓

What`s a better winter activity than museum hopping? Not much, if you ask us. Let us introduce you to Bygdøy (also known as museum heaven), the peninsula in Oslo where you find a big collection of museums close to each other. Perfect! ❄️

Our favourite time of the year is here! 🎅🏻🎄 If you are in Stockholm for this festive season, make sure you make it a tasty one 😋 and try:
🌟 Freshly baked saffron buns, also called “lussekatter”, preferably filled with almond paste.
🌟 Gingerbread cookies and having them with blue cheese, it’s an odd yet delicious combo, we promise!
🌟 Freshly made candy cane, if you pop into @gamlastanspolka and find them baking the candy canes, they often let you try the mix. Soft candy cane should be a thing!
