Context Travel Copenhagen Tours

Known for its blend of royal history, innovative design, and a lifestyle that balances modern living with centuries-old traditions, Copenhagen is a narrative of Danish identity and progress.

Dive into Copenhagen's History and Culture:
  • Royal Legacy: Copenhagen's story is deeply entwined with the Danish monarchy. The city's architecture, from the majestic Christiansborg Palace to the fairy-tale Rosenborg Castle, serves as a testament to this royal heritage. These structures not only showcase Danish architectural prowess but also reflect the evolution of royal power and influence.
  • Cultural Renaissance: The city has been at the forefront of cultural movements, from the Enlightenment period, which left its mark with institutions like the Round Tower, to being a modern hub for design and sustainability. Copenhagen's commitment to culture is evident in its museums, theaters, and the annual Copenhagen Jazz Festival.
  • Architectural Marvels: From the colorful, bustling Nyhavn Harbour to the historical island of Slotsholmen, Copenhagen's architecture is a dialogue between past and present. Notable for its functional yet aesthetic design, the city's buildings are a study in Danish minimalism and efficiency.

Our Copenhagen Experiences:
  • Introduction to Copenhagen Tour with Nyhavn: This private tour isn't just a walk; it's an immersive experience led by a passionate history expert or local art historian. Begin at the heart of Copenhagen, exploring landmarks like Christiansborg Palace, where you'll learn about the seat of the Danish government and royalty. The journey continues to the Round Tower, offering insights into Copenhagen's astronomical history, before meandering through the picturesque Nyhavn with its iconic 17th-century townhouses and vibrant harbor life. This private Copenhagen walking tour with an expert tour guide provides a comprehensive narrative of the city's development, from Viking times to the present.
  • Copenhagen's Bustling Center Audio Guide: For those preferring a self-guided exploration, our audio guide allows you to dive into Copenhagen's history and culture at your own pace. This audio journey covers the same ground as our introduction tour but adds layers of stories about everyday life, hidden gems, and lesser-known historical anecdotes. It's perfect for understanding the bustling city center, from the bustling markets to the serene canals, all narrated by experts who encapsulate the spirit of Copenhagen.
  • Our newest experience in Copenhagen, Copenhagen Royals Tour, allows visitors to see two of Denmark's most iconic and intriguing castles with a local historian. Starting at Rosenborg Castle and then venturing through Copenhagen's charming old town you'll end at Christiansborg Castle, learning all about the cultural and historical significances of Denmark's royal family and traditions. 

Both experiences are designed to peel back the layers of Copenhagen, revealing a city where history, design, and lifestyle intersect in the most harmonious ways. Whether you choose to walk with a guide or listen through your headphones, Copenhagen promises an experience that goes beyond the typical tourist path, offering a deeper connection to Danish culture and heritage.

Louis was a terrific guide. We enjoyed the historical introduction to the city from their visual arts viewpoint.
Louis was very well informed, but we didn't feel like we were getting a canned lecture. She was very engaging, answered our questions, recommended restaurants, other places to see. She walked at a reasonable pace. She clearly knows and loves Copenhagen
Maj was so warm and adapted our tour to cater to our interests. It was the perfect introduction to the city on our first day! Highly recommend!
