Royal Copenhagen Tour – City Walk and Rosenborg Castle
Experience one of Denmark's most well-preserved castles. Rosenborg is home to the Danish crown jewels, but also has a unique collection of art, furniture, and quirky items.
We will explore the favorite castle of king Christian IV, known as the great "builder king" in Danish history. We will admire the magnificent furniture and decorated rooms, while learning about the sometimes funny, sometimes sad stories of kings and queens of the past.
Experience the story of Christian IV's death and see the treasures from his legendary battle against the Swedes, which provided inspiration for one of Denmark's national anthems.
Learn about the royal scandal that resulted in the creation of the current Queen's Crown and discover the sarcastic "gift" that a king gave to his unfaithful wife.
We start the tour with a visit to Rosenborg Castle, which was previously the kings' summer house outside Copenhagen's city limits. We visit the well-preserved rooms where the royal family previously lived and see the crown jewels in the basement, which are some of Europe's oldest.
Afterwards, we will stroll through the King's Garden, greeting Hans Christian Andersen's statue along the way, and wander through king Frederik V's distinguished "City of Frederik" to Amalienborg Palace. Here you can admire one of the most beautiful palace squares in Northern Europe, admire the royal guards, and learn why the four mansions of Amalienborg jointly became the royal family's permanent Copenhagen residence.
Depending on how early you want to start the tour, we can finish by seeing the royal guard exchange at noon. The tour can also be extended to a long city walk in Copenhagen.

The area is filled with stories from dramatic times, for example from the Battle of Copenhagen when the British stole the Danish fleet in 1807 and the German occupation during WW2 where the Danish Navy sunk their own ships.
It's possible to walk to Holmen from Ny Havn harbour across one of the new bridges. It's also possible to go by the harbour-boats.

Parks and Former Fortifications in the Heart of Copenhagen
Langelinie – Eastern Park "Østre Anlæg" – the Botanical Gardens – Rosenborg Castle – the King's Garden – the Armed Forces Historic Housing Complex "Nyboder" – Kastellet – Langelinie
This walk starts and ends at the pier of Langelinie. We walk through some of the parks that used to be part of the ramparts that surrounded and protected the old city of Copenhagen. Today the remnants are very clearly visible on a map, and one is the Botanical Gardens with beautiful greenhouses, lakes and plants at many ground levels. Here, the most vicious fighting between Danes and Swedes took place, during the Assault on Copenhagen of 1659.
On the way back we cross Rosenborg Castle, the barracks of the Royal Guard and the King's Garden, a small but very popular park for recreational activities such as picnics and sunbathing. We walk through "Nyboder", the Armed Forces Historic Housing Complex with its charming yellow townhouses dedicated to people serving the navy or military forces. We finish with a walk around "Kastellet", – which still holds part of the military administration, and is one of the most well preserved examples of 17th-18th century fortifications in Europe. From the top of the ramparts we have a fine view over the busy harbour as well as the city, and we can enjoy the fine old red buildings.
If time allows – and the church is open – we will stop to take a look. Shortly after we are back at the cruise ships pier.
