We took a wonderful guided boat tour of Copenhagen, which took us past many of the city’s most notable attractions, historical sites and interesting architecture. It was an extremely enjoyable way to see a lot of the city, while giving our walking shoes a rest. If you are ever in Copenhagen, I highly recommend the Stromma Canal Tours Grand Tour.
