NEW! Eating Copenhagen Food Tour: More than Smørrebrød

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

You’ll journey through Danish identity across five unique stops, moving from traditional smørrebrød to vibrant street food, modern Nordic comfort, and ending with the iconic Danish pastry. Each stop tells a chapter of Denmark’s story, connecting history, innovation, and everyday life into a cohesive culinary narrative.

The tour takes you through two of Copenhagen’s most captivating neighbourhoods. You’ll start in Nyhavn, the city’s historic harbourfront, once filled with sailors, merchants, and trading ships, now a clean, design-driven hub. Then you’ll cross the bridge into Christianshavn, often called Copenhagen’s Mini-Amsterdam, with its canals, colorful houses, historic warehouses, houseboats, and vibrant cafés and bakeries that capture authentic everyday Danish life.
