Castles, towers and churches... Discover the golden age of Danish culture on this walking tour of Renaissance Copenhagen.

Description

At the designated time, we'll begin a journey back in time meeting your professional English-speaking guide in Hojbro Plads, next to the equestrian statue of Absalon. Learn the history of this warrior-bishop, considered to be the founder of Copenhagen.

Wander through the surrounding streets until you reach the Church of Our Lady, Copenhagen's cathedral. On the site of many previous churches destroyed by fires and bombing over the years, the current temple, finished in 1825, boasts a striking Neoclassical-style façade that will remind you of classical Greek temples.

Continue your free walking tour route to the Rundetaarn. This round tower was originally constructed as an astronomical observatory in the 17th century; inside, instead of stairs, a spiral ramp was built to allow horse and carriage access to the top. Discover the secrets and legends housed by this intriguing monument thanks to your expert guide.

A short ten minute walk from the tower, you'll find the Rosenborg Castle, the next stop on your route. Delve deep into the history of Copenhagen as you admire this Dutch Renaissance-style palace, built in the early 1600s as a summer residence for the Danish royal family. The building is located within the "Kongens Have" or King's Garden, the city's oldest and most visited park.

Your walking tour will come to an end at Torvehallerne market after a total of 1.5 hours. Amongst the many food stalls offering all manner of delicacies, a highlight is the selections of Danish pastries popular in the country since the Renaissance era.
