Copenhagen Combo: Walk, Canal Tour & Changing of the Guards
Discover Copenhagen from two unique perspectives, on foot and from the water. This guided combo tour blends a relaxed city walk, a scenic ride on the whisper-quiet electric harbor ferry and a cozy café break before the royal Changing of the Guards.
Start at the Central Station Clock
Meet your guide beneath the iconic clock inside Copenhagen Central Station. From here, you’ll begin a journey through history, culture and unforgettable city views.
Highlights on Foot
Stroll through historic streets and squares while your guide shares stories of royalty and everyday life in Copenhagen. Along the way you will see:
• Christiansborg Palace – home to Denmark’s parliament
• Tivoli Gardens – one of the world’s oldest amusement parks
• Nyhavn – the colourful and lively harbourfront
• Amalienborg Palace – residence of the Danish royal family
• The Little Mermaid – Copenhagen’s most iconic statue
Sail the Harbor by Electric Ferry
Board the eco-friendly electric ferry and glide silently across the water. Enjoy panoramic views of Copenhagen, colourful townhouses, historic landmarks and modern architecture while your guide shares local insights and hidden gems.
The Royal Finale & The Mermaid: After the cruise, we continue our walk past the historic 17th-century Citadel (Kastellet) and say hello to The Little Mermaid.
A Cozy Café Stop Before the Finale
Towards the end of the tour, we pause at a local café for a drink and a recharge before heading to the royal finale.
Changing of the Guards
The tour ends at Amalienborg Palace, where your guide will say goodbye before the Changing of the Guards begins, giving you time to stay and enjoy the ceremony.
Important Tour Information
Fitness & Walking Level: This is an intermediate-level walking tour covering a duration of 3 hours. While we do not walk fast, we do cover a significant distance. To get the most out of this experience, you should be comfortable being on your feet and walking for the duration of the tour. This tour is not suitable for individuals with walking difficulties or limited mobility.
Ferry Alternative: The harbor ferry is a popular public transit option. In the rare event that it is full or out of service (primarily a possibility on busy weekends and sunny afternoons), we don’t skip a beat! Instead, we will enjoy a stunning scenic walk along the canal route. This covers the exact same itinerary but adds approximately 2 km of extra walking to the tour — plus a couple of extra bonus highlight stops along the way!
Quick Facts:
Start Location: Beneath the clock inside Copenhagen Central Station (Københavns Hovedbanegård)
End Location: Amalienborg Palace (The tour ends here, leaving you free to enjoy the ceremony)
Duration: 3 hours
What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a camera.
