In the heart of Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, lies a side of the city that many overlook: the quiet courtyards, historic squares, and calm parks that quietly shape its character. Likander Company v/Jeff Priis invites you on a focused three-hour walking journey that goes beyond the usual tourist routes to reveal these less crowded, highly distinctive parts of Copenhagen's Old Town.

This private tour offers a chance to move deliberately through spaces where Copenhageners once gathered for local markets and manufacturing work until the mid-1980s. Each courtyard and square contains its own story—echoes of everyday city life that have, until recently, remained out of view for visitors. Jeff Priis, a lifelong Copenhagen native and founder of Likander Company, guides small groups of up to eight, bringing historical context and warm local insights that only a true insider can share.

Strolling through these varied locations, participants will experience the layered history embedded in the brick and cobblestone, accompanied by stops in serene parks which once served practical urban functions. Along the way, the tour pauses to enjoy a traditional Danish soft drink, offering a moment of authentic city culture and refreshment.

This tour is a perfect fit for travelers who have already seen Copenhagen’s main highlights but want something more intimate and off-the-beaten-path. The photography opportunities are unique—Jeff points out little-known spots that make for stunning images away from the usual crowds. He also provides personalized recommendations on food, drink, and further activities in Copenhagen, making this more than just a walk but a genuine introduction to the city as lived by its residents.

By choosing Likander Company, visitors encounter the authentic pulse of Copenhagen’s urban fabric, transformed by history yet quietly vibrant today. It’s a rare chance to witness the everyday beauty and stories tucked in the city’s peaceful courtyards and lively squares with a guide who knows them inside out.
