What makes Copenhagen's Christmas Spirit Private Walking Tour a unique experience ?
Tivoli is one of the world’s oldest amusement parks. Since 1994, Tivoli has opened for Christmas, spreading joy with its many Christmas decorations and a market. Each year, a new theme is chosen for the decore.
Rådhuspladsen translates to City Hall Square. The square is a hot spot for concerts, outdoor exhibitions, celebrations of returning sports heroes, and even political activities. For Christmas, it has become a tradition to light a Christmas tree at City Hall Square on the first Sunday of Advent.
Stroll across the square and take in the cheerful Christmas decorations and market. H.C. Andersen wrote over 150 fairy tales during his life, including several about Christmas or winter. "The Snow Queen" is special because of Disney's "Frozen." Although it has very little in common with H.C. Andersen's original story, it served as inspiration.
The Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke) is the National Cathedral of Denmark. The church has been rebuilt four times. The fourth church is the church we see today. At the Church of Our Lady is where Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were wed May 14th, 2004.
The Rundetårn, or "Round Tower", is the oldest European observatory still functioning. Frederik II, King of Denmark and Norway, was the first king to take an interest in astronomy, mainly because of the work of the famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe.
Gråbrødetorv, or “The Grey Friars Square,” is named after the Franciscan monastery that once stood on the square. Although most of the houses on the square were destroyed in the Great Fire of 1728, the ones that survived were restored and painted in contemporary colours. This is a great stop for photos!
During December, a Christmas market is held in the square, giving the place a festive atmosphere. The most famous landmark of the Højbro Plads is the equestrian statue of Bishop Absalon, erected in the early 1900s. Learn about Danish Christmas traditions and personalities such as "nisser", "julefrokost", and "lille juleaften".
Strøget is Copenhagen’s and one of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets, with a length of 1.11 kilometres. Strøget is mainly known for its shopping, and not without good reason; starting at the Town hall and ending at the Kongens Nytorv near Nyhavn, you find a vast range of shops here. See the beautiful Christmas decorations illuminating the city centre's streets, squares and shop windows.
Kongens Nytorv, from dumping ground and landing place for cargo from ships that embarked at the port of Nyhavn to a baroque garden and housing belonging to the nobility, the square has seen it all. For Christmas, the famous 5-star hotel D’Angleterre is pompously decorated. Each year, the hotel stuns with a new theme and look.
