Walking tour in Copenhagen

Copenhagen Grand Free Tour

The Copenhagen Grand Free Tour starts at the City Hall Steps on Radhuspladsen and covers Amalienborg Palace, Christiansborg Palace, and Nyhavn harbor. Running for over 12 years, this is one of the most established free tours in Scandinavia. Tours run daily in English and Spanish. In a city where a coffee costs five euros, a 2.5-hour guided walk for tips is one of the best value propositions in Copenhagen.
