The city is also abundant with everything from small cosy pub style eateries, cafes with great coffee and establishments serving world class local beer.

Copenhagen is a wonderful summer city with numerous city squares and patios where restaurants open up to the street. The city centre is pedestrian and bicycle friendly, which creates a peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere.

You will go on a private royal tour of Copenhagen, which will include watching the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Castle. You can then explore on your own by taking a canal tour, visiting the royal museum or go shopping for Scandinavian design.
