What to expect
On Copenhagen's Christmas Spirit private walking tour, step back in time and experience the city's historical charm with a touch of holiday magic. As you trace Copenhagen's roots, you'll discover hidden treasures tucked behind cosy street corners and creaky, old buildings that date back to a bygone era.
Begin by admiring the grand City Hall before moving to the Church of Our Lady, where Danish royalty is wed. You'll visit the University of Copenhagen, The Round Tower, and the colourful houses of Gråbrødretorv, all while heading toward the festive Strøget shopping street. Christmas in Copenhagen is something extraordinary. Forget the chill as the city comes alive with sparkling lights, cheerful holiday decorations, and the scent of spiced treats in the air. Tivoli Gardens and the Hotel D'Angleterre dazzle with stunning Christmas displays while lively markets take over the streets, offering handmade crafts and festive delights.
During this walking tour, you'll dive deep into Danish holiday traditions. Learn about "nisse" and why risengrød (rice porridge) holds a special place in the Danish heart. Discover how Danes celebrate lille juleaften (little Christmas Eve) and the ever-popular julefrokost (Christmas lunch). Of course, you'll also learn how beloved author Hans Christian Andersen influenced many Danish Christmas traditions.
