  1. Slotsholmen, the island in Copenhagen’s harbor, has been a power base for nearly 900 years, for Copenhagen’s founder, Denmark’s kings, and today’s Danish parliament, housed in the beautiful Christiansborg Palace. This walking tour starts at the very spot where Copenhagen’s story began in the 1100s, Højbro Plads, before crossing over to ‘the Castle Island’, as Slotsholmen is known.

About Copenhagen

Copenhagen is Denmark's harbour capital, a low-rise city of canals, royal palaces, bicycles, pastries and a pleasure garden in the middle of town.

Copenhagen spreads across the islands of Zealand and Amager, with harbours and canals shaping the centre. Nyhavn, a seventeenth-century canal lined with coloured houses and old ships, is the classic view. Amalienborg Palace, the royal family's residence, stands on a square near the water, Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels, and Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843, mixes flowers, rides and concerts beside the train station.

Top-ranked sights in Copenhagen: Christiansborg Palace (Christiansborg Slot), Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace.
