Full description
Embark on a 3.5-hour walking tour of Copenhagen. Get to the root of hygge, and get to know Danish culture. The concept of hygge is hard to describe, but easy to experience. See why Danes are some of the world’s happiest people, and experience hygge for yourself. “Hygge” is a concept that is an all-encompassing ingredient for the Danish way of life. Set out on a slow-paced walking tour with a born-and-raised local to appreciate this unique Copenhagen vibe. Glimpse this concept from a local perspective, and recognize why hygge is so important in today’s society. Begin the tour in the charming neighborhood of Nyboder, a local gem beloved by residents for its irresistible calmness. Here, start with introductions, and get close with those of whom you’ll experience hygge. Afterwards, amble through the small, picturesque streets of Nyboder, one of the oldest parts of Copenhagen, filled to the brim with cobblestone streets, timber-framed houses, and green spaces amongst the urban sprawl. Take your time to wander through, as that is a great way to kick off the hygge experience. Engage your taste buds along the way with bites of world-renowned pastries, delicious traditional Danish flødeboller, and a cup of liquid joy. Learn how these play into the Danish traditional way of life through historical accounts from your knowledgeable guide. Escape the urban sprawl with stops in green spaces or hidden alleys, only known to the locals. Settle in for a bit of relaxation, and hear the history of how Copenhagen came to be. Take Instagram worthy photos with the stunning backdrops of this city, as well as miniature and grand castles with great views. Discover the secrets of why some people say Denmark is a utopia and fairytale-like, consistently being ranked amongst the happiest people in the world year after year. Conclude the tour with a sit-down with your group at a local café in Copenhagen to enjoy a cup of coffee. Want to explore further? Feel free to ask your local guide for personal recommendations.

Interesting tour, but we were expecting more focus on Hygge and Happiness from the description of the tour. Wondering if there would have been a different approach to this, if we were foreign tourists, because we as Danes already know about Hygge? Our guide was very good, and we learned some funny and interesting things about the history of Copenhagen. One tip: the bakery stop could be a bit later during the tour. We didn't really need the stop that early, and it made the rest of the tour a bit long.

Therese was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable and interesting. We found so many places to explore that we wouldn’t have otherwise known about. This is a perfect first day activity to get acquainted with Copenhagen. Therese also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip! 10/10

Axel was amazing, generous with his time and knowledge and a delight to listen to. This tour took us through the smaller parts of Copenhagen, winding through beautiful back streets and eating the local delicacies. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with a few days in Copenhagen!
