"Frederiksberg: The City of Kings and Poets"
Frederiksberg is a city within a city, surrounded by lush parks and steeped in aristocratic charm. On this tour, you’ll uncover the most scandalous royal romance in Danish history, wander through the world of romantic poets, and stroll along shady avenues. You’ll also explore a picturesque park, admire stunning architectural highlights, and discover the most elegant boulevard in the Copenhagen area.

This neighborhood has always attracted lovers of luxury. Walking its streets, you can easily catch a touch of Parisian atmosphere. In the 19th century, Frederiksberg was a hub of theatrical life, offering the finest entertainment in the region. Even today, unique performances take place here, and the area boasts a Danish version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Along the way, you’ll find answers to questions like:

  • What did people living in Frederiksberg worship centuries ago?
  • Why was this area once called the Dutch Town?
  • What stands where the old police station used to be?
  • Why was Lantern Street renamed?
  • Who was the muse of all the Golden Age poets?
  • Why is Frederiksberg’s City Hall bigger than Copenhagen’s?
  • How many Tivoli-style parks were there really?
  • Why are falcons featured on the local coat of arms?
  • Who came up with the idea of boating in the Frederiksberg garden canals?
  • How are actors chosen for the Walk of Fame?

What People Say About
Traveling in Copenhagen with Me
Our best tour ever! Svetlana, thank you for your passion for history. You shared the story of the Old Town so sincerely and lovingly that we could really feel its life across the centuries. We loved it and will definitely come back ❤️
When the tour of the courtyards smoothly turned into a gastronomic journey… Thanks to the food-focused tour, we discovered that in Copenhagen: ‘Danish' pastries are actually Vienna buns, there’s a herring buffet with 10 varieties and unlimited refills, organic street food is everywhere, bread has been baked since 1652 at Sankt Peders Bageri, and cheesecakes and éclairs perfectly fit into a royal guard-themed route accompanied by an orchestra.
Svetlana, thank you so much for such an engaging tour! For the warm and friendly atmosphere you create, for the chance to meet new and interesting people, and for the great idea of having lunch together after the tour. It felt like we were old friends, having fun and learning at the same time. Thank you, Svetlana, for being so sunny, kind, and wonderful!
Today I went on the ‘Stories of the Old Town' tour and had an absolutely amazing time! In just over two hours, Svetlana shared so many interesting stories about Copenhagen’s history, its residents, the royal family, and famous artists. I loved that the tour combined a broad overview with plenty of curious details that made the past come alive. I learned…
