The Original Christianshavn Tour
FREETOUR.com says
Our Secret Traveller applauds this tour as "the ultimate way to experience Copenhagen’s special atmosphere". "Starting in the historic area around the parliament’s canals, we soon ventured to the wonderful freetown of Christiania to learn how the area was created and get fascinating insight to the unique culture here. This story is a truly intriguing and interesting one, and it is delivered exceptionally well by the local guide. It's the perfect way to experience Christiania, appreciate the origins of the movement, get cool pics as well as hearing about local history, architecture and seeing where one of the most memorable events in Danish history took place".
Overview of the tour in Copenhagen
The Christianshavn Tour is our most popular alternative tour, beginning at Højbro Plads and exploring the island of Christianshavn, which was built as a separate city from Copenhagen.
It is now a great neighborhood with an eclectic mix of residents. The tour ends just outside the gates of Christiania, where you can wander at your own will.
