Free Walking Tour of Renaissance Copenhagen

Castles, towers and churches... Discover the golden age of Danish culture on this walking tour of Renaissance Copenhagen.

Description

At the designated time, you'll meet your professional English-speaking guide at Hojbro Plads, next to the equestrian statue of Absalon, the founder of Copenhagen. You will explore the surrounding streets, reaching the Church of Our Lady, Copenhagen's cathedral, with its Neoclassical-style facade completed in 1825.

Continue to the Rundetaarn, a 17th-century round tower originally built as an astronomical observatory. Instead of stairs, a spiral ramp provides access to the top, where your guide will share its secrets and legends.

A short ten-minute walk from the tower is Rosenborg Castle, a Dutch Renaissance-style palace built in the early 1600s as a summer residence for the Danish royal family. It is located within the King's Garden, Copenhagen's oldest park.

Your walking tour concludes at Torvehallerne market after 1.5 hours, featuring a variety of food stalls, including Danish pastries that date back to the Renaissance era.
