Copenhagen King’s Square - Our meeting point, centrally located at the end of the pedestrian street Strøget. The largest square of the city, it was laid out by Christian V in 1670 in connection with a major extension of the fortified city, and has an equestrian statue of him at its centre. The initiative moved the centre of the city from the medieval area around Gammeltorv, at that time a muddy medieval marketplace, to a cobbled new square with a garden complex, inspired by the Royal city planning seen in Paris from the early 17th century.
Important buildings facing the square include the Royal Danish Theater from 1874, the Charlottenborg Palace from 1671 (now the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts), the Thott Palace from 1683 (now the French Embassy), the Hotel D’Angleterre and the Magasin du Nord department store.

Copenhagen’s highlights can be experienced within easy walking reach, immersing you in its rich cultural history. This tour will lead you through a thoughtfully planned walk through the old city, unveiling its famous landmarks along with their backstories. The journey commences with the enchanting Tivoli Gardens, continues to the City Hall Square, the Christiansborg Palace—which serves as the Danish Parliament and houses the Royal Reception Rooms—the 17th century Old Stock Exchange, the Royal Theatre, and the vibrant canal of Nyhavn. From there, a stroll along the harbor takes you past the grand Playhouse and the ultra-modern Opera House, Copenhagen’s relatively recent additions. Your journey will culminate at the Amalienborg Palace, the stately residence of the Danish Royal Family, vigilantly guarded by the royal protectors. Subsequently, you will venture to the ‘Kongens have’ royal garden, where Rosenborg Castle, the favored summer abode, awaits. The tour concludes with a return to the Tivoli Gardens.
