The Best Tourist Tours to Take in Denmark
Make the most of your time in Denmark by taking one of these seven tours. Whether you decide to plan your own route or join an organised excursion with experienced guides, these tours shouldn’t be missing from your list as they’ll introduce you to the Danish culture and help you see the country’s top attractions in an easy and fun way.
Canal tour in Copenhagen
One of the most relaxed and fastest ways to discover Copenhagen’s top attractions is by boat. You can either rent your own private boat or join one of the tourists’ canal tours and see the Little Mermaid, The Royal Danish Opera House, the historic buildings on Slotsholmen island and other beautiful parts of the city from the water. The Canal Tours of Copenhagen depart from Nyhavn or Gammel Strand in the city centre and they last around an hour with experienced guides narrating the history of Denmark along the way.

Food tour
Visiting Denmark and not taking a food tour would be an oversight. Copenhagen may be the most-known Danish city for enjoying New Nordic cuisine but it certainly isn’t the only one. No matter which part of Denmark you’re travelling to, you’re definitely going to find plenty of restaurants, local eateries and food festivals serving the region’s traditional delicacies. Plan your own culinary tour or join one of the organised tourist groups and discover Denmark’s tastes.

Denmark is one of the most bike-friendly countries in Europe, so don’t miss out on taking a bike tour and discovering the country’s hidden corners and spectacular landscapes.

Those fascinated by the legends and stories from the Viking era should definitely add a Viking tour to their bucket list. There are plenty of places all over the country that worth a visit and will help you gain insight into the legendary warriors’ culture. The National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen as well as the Roskilde Cathedral and the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde are some of the must-visit attractions and you can easily see them all in a one-day trip. Those who want to retrace Vikings’ steps all over the country will have a lot to see starting from Ribe, the oldest Danish town in southwestern Jutland.

Discover the secrets of the New Nordic cuisine, the movement that put Denmark in the culinary map, and learn how to make your own gourmet Danish dishes at CPH Cooking Class in Copenhagen.
