I am a native Dane and have lived in Copenhagen for 25 years.
We will explore the medieval city, Rosenborg, Amalienborg, Christiansborg, and Nyhavn (a picturesque canal).
Copenhagen is not just the capital of cosy hygge; it’s also a bustling city of trade and innovation, offering ample space for work/life balance, soft urban design, and a welfare state that supports every Dane from cradle to grave.
Walk in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen, whose dreams almost didn’t come true, and discover if his life was truly a fairy tale as you see where he lived.
