Explore Copenhagen by open-top double-decker bus on three routes covering Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid, Christiania, Tivoli, Frederiksberg, and Carlsberg. Choose 24, 48, or 72 hours, use the multilingual audio guide, and hop off when a palace, garden, museum, or food market catches your eye.

“Easy to figure out once you find a stop. Need to advertise exact hours. Even though it is available for 24 hours, doesn’t start until 10am and stops at 6pm”

3.City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 709 reviews · 1 - 3 days · from $44

Explore Copenhagen aboard a double-decker sightseeing bus with three routes, 30-plus stops, multilingual audio, Wi-Fi, and a city map. Ride past Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid, Tivoli, Christiania, Carlsberg, and more. I recommend the 48-hour pass if you want time to get off, visit sights, and avoid rushing between buses.

“Buses arrived promptly every 30-35 minutes and were immaculately clean. Staff were helpful with any questions we had.”
