Day 1: Copenhagen
Meet your English speaking driver for a private airport transfer.
Copenhagen is one of the most historic and charming cities in the Baltic region and this tour gives you the opportunity to see it from two perspectives: by land and by water. Begin with a drive through the heart of Copenhagen. The Town Hall Square, which offers a lively combination of shopping, dining and people watching. Dominating the busy square is the Town Hall, an unusual combination of Italian Renaissance and Medieval Danish architecture, richly adorned with sculptures and paintings. Drive past the world-famous Tivoli Gardens, the New Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum (containing the largest collection of ancient art in Northern Europe). Stop for photos at Amalienborg Palace, the royal winter residence located on a spacious octagonal Palace Square comprising of four separate but linked mansions. One is the residence of the Queen; the second is the residence of the heir to the throne; the third accommodates visiting royals and the fourth houses the administrative offices of the throne
