Itinerary

Meeting by the ship
Meeting by the ship. The start time of the tour is given approximately and will be adjusted depending on your ship arrival time. The exact meeting time will be specified on your confirmation letter.
-
The Little Mermaid
A photo stop at the Little Mermaid on the Langelinie promenade. Edvard Eriksen's bronze, unveiled in August 1913, was paid for by the brewer Carl Jacobsen after he saw a ballet of the Hans Christian Andersen tale of 1837. She is only 1.25 metres tall, which surprises most visitors, and she has been the emblem of the city for a century.
-
Amalienborg Palace
A stop at Amalienborg, four matching rococo palaces set around an octagonal square with an equestrian statue of Frederick V at its centre. Nicolai Eigtved laid them out in the 1750s for four noble families, and the royal family moved in after Christiansborg burned in 1794. The guard is changed at noon, when the Royal Life Guards march over from Rosenborg. From the square you look one way to the Opera House of 2005 across the water and the other to the Marble Church, begun in 1749 and finished only in 1894, whose dome spans thirty-one metres.
-
The King's Garden
A stop at the King's Garden, laid out by Christian IV in the early 1600s as the grounds of Rosenborg Castle and the oldest royal park in the country. The castle at its centre still holds the crown jewels.
-
City Hall Square and Tivoli
A drive past the City Hall of 1905 and the gates of Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843 and the second oldest amusement park in the world
