Where can I find sightseeing buses?

Copenhagen and the surrounding area offer countless sightseeing possibilities. City tours of Copenhagen - by bus, on foot, by boat or by bike - are the clear choice for first-time visitors.

Many cruise passengers opt for half-day tours of 16th-century castles north of the city, including Hamlet's Castle, Kronborg at Helsingør. The former Danish capital Roskilde, with its marvelous cathedral and Viking Ship Museum, is another popular excursion just a 30-minute drive from Copenhagen.

Many of these tours are available as shore excursions from your cruise ship. This, of course, offers the greatest convenience, as you'll transfer directly from the ship to your professionally guided tour. Ask your cruise line, your travel agent or the shore excursion desk aboard your ship for options and prices.

If you prefer to book a tour once you arrive in Copenhagen, Open Top Tours leave from Langelinie Pier approximately every 20 minutes. Hop on and off these sightseeing buses as you please. The full city tour takes approximately 80 minutes. Tickets can be bought from the bus driver.

Sightseeing buses also depart every day from the City Hall Square. For more information on sightseeing tours in Copenhagen, click here.
