Next, stroll to Kongens Have (King’s Garden) surrounding the Rosenborg Palace and learn about one of the first public parks in the world. The beautiful garden near Øster Voldgade was gifted to the Danes from King Christian IV.
As you discuss the uniquely Danish concept of hygge with your guide, continue your walk through the city and take in several of the city’s oldest streets. Amble along Strøget, one of the world’s largest pedestrian shopping streets, and pause by Stork Fountain to hear about the anti-establishment culture that’s prevalent in the city.
Call in for a cup of coffee at a cozy local cafe, and then head past the castles that house several government offices as well as the Danish parliament. Hear how Denmark is governed, and how the country has created a political system that’s largely trusted by its people.
Swing by the Royal Library to see a hidden garden, where Copenhageners escape when they need a moment of quiet. Finish your tour at a nearby street cafe.
