You step out of Tivoli’s shadow into a city that moves at a measured, human pace: cobbles underfoot, trams ticking by, and the harbor air sharpening every color. Over the next two and a half hours a local guide threads together Copenhagen’s icons — City Hall Square, Strøget, Christiansborg, Nyhavn, Amalienborg and the Little Mermaid — so the city reads like a compact chapter in a travel journal.
