Be sure to walk down to Nyhavn for a beer with locals along the colourful wharf.
After breakfast, meet your private guide in the hotel lobby for a 3-hour walking tour showcasing the highlights of beautiful Copenhagen.

This trip will also bring you to neighborhoods such as Refshaleøen (where noma 2.0 has opened) and Frederiksberg, and give you a taste of local life in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is a small capital city, so it’s easy to explore the many areas of the city!
