Excursion Wonderful copenhagen & tivoli tour at Copenaghen

Explore the oldest and most charming parts of Copenhagen during this fun-filled, half-day sightseeing excursion.

Depart the pier for the short drive to the Little Mermaid. No visit to Copenhagen is complete without seeing the city’s most famous symbol. Completed in 1913, this statue was erected to express gratitude to Hans Christian Andersen and his world-renowned fairy tales. After a photo stop at the Little Mermaid, re-board your coach and take a sightseeing drive through the city.

Along the way, pass by Copenhagen's famous Gefion Fountain, set amidst the parkland of the Citadel and depicting the Nordic legend of the Goddess Gefion. Continue on to the royal residence, Amalienborg Palace, for an exterior photo stop, then drive through the bustling Nyhavn area. Here, see King’s Square, where the Royal Theatre, embassies and many fashionable shops are located, along with the Old Stock Exchange and Gammel Strand. In addition, view the old fish market warehouses dating back to medieval times and Glyptoteket, founded by the Danish Brewer, Carl Jacobsen, the creator of Carlsberg beer. Following your sightseeing drive, head to the final stop on your tour, Tivoli Gardens.

Founded in 1843 by Georg Carstensen, Tivoli was inspired by the so-called romantic pleasure gardens of Europe. When Tivoli first opened its gates, it only had a few rides and amusements; today, however, there is a mix of attractions mingled with charming flower and relaxation gardens. One of the most photographed features of Tivoli is the Chinese Pagoda, which dates from 1900 and is situated beautifully by the lake. The fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen was a frequent visitor to Tivoli, and some say that it was here he was inspired to write The Nightingale. Some free time is made available here to enjoy the fun, frivolity and excitement of Tivoli at your leisure. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 30-minute drive back to the pier, passing by the Rosenborg Castle en route.
