Copenhagen Private Guided Tours

Why Copenhagen is the perfect city for private guided tours

Denmark may look relatively small on the map. Yet, its capital, Copenhagen, is an excellent expression of this nation’s huge impact on the world, deservingly attracting much attention and many visitors each year. Once a historical superpower, it remains a world leader in many areas, most significantly in the quality of life of its citizens. With OURWAY Tours, you’ll get a slice of this welcoming sense of well-being that awaits all in Copenhagen.

You may have heard the word ‘hygge’ – it means ‘cosy’ and is often used to describe the Danish capital and national philosophy. Whilst sometimes challenging to define, with it being a feeling more than something you can touch, the conditions in the city help cultivate such ‘hygge’ moments. Perhaps you’d like to join local Copenhageners who combine the pleasant surroundings of the capital with the joy of cruising on their bikes in the often-named ‘city of cyclists’.

Feeling a little more stationary? The cafe culture here demands a stop for a coffee and something sweet (there’s a reason they call it Danish!). With quirky spots to rest amidst sightseeing, whether alone or in good company, ‘hygge’ is the vibe you’re very likely to experience again and again during your trip.

The watery landscape of Copenhagen undoubtedly influences this flow of good feeling. Its pleasant waterways not only soothe the soul but have welcomed diverse trade and travellers over the years, ever since its founding in 1167. Amongst the amazing mix of Renaissance and modern architecture adorning the canals and bodies of water is a recognisably regal flavour. With the country’s monarchy ruling both Sweden and Norway during its history, Copenhagen became a key part of the powerhouse of Denmark that dominated much of Scandinavia through the ages.

Over time, bridges have been built between powers in the Nordics. Norway’s royal lineage is of Danish descent, and there are many other beneficial ties to Denmark prevalent throughout Europe! Yet Copenhagen could still be called the Queen of our destinations—or at least the much-loved big sister of the OURWAY Tours family that you’ll be keen to get to know over a coffee!

All of this history, charm, and hygge make exploring Copenhagen feel like stepping into a well-told story—one that’s best experienced with a knowledgeable guide.
