Culture Trip Travel Team

Though relatively small, Copenhagen is hugely popular with travellers looking to soak up Denmark’s big-hitting attractions, wander through the city’s canal-side cobbled streets and sample local Nordic cuisine. These handpicked tours and experiences will take you away from the crowds and give you a whole new perspective on the Danish capital.

Nestled on the coastal islands of Zealand and Amager, Copenhagen is world famous for its emerging New Nordic cuisine, fascinating cultural sites and rich Medieval history. Instead of just visiting the main attractions, get right under the skin of the city and sample smørrebrød and Danish apple wine made from hyper-local and seasonal produce on a food tour. Or discover the UNESCO-listed Roskilde Cathedral and learn about the country’s Viking history with a traditional glass of mead in hand. These tours will show you a new side of Denmark’s capital.
