Introductory tour with the Segway
We arrived at Segway Tours Copenhagen promptly at 3:00 PM and received a very friendly welcome. We were given a helmet to try on and adjust the volume of the integrated speaker. Afterward, we tested our skills on the Segways. Everyone received a short, personalized introduction to the vehicle, and the dos and don'ts were explained. Then it was time to hop on and off we went! Neither of us had any previous experience with Segways and were very nervous about how difficult it would be! But it's easier than you think. It might be a bit strange at first, but you'll quickly get the hang of it!
Eight other participants joined our tour. Our tour guide was super nice and in a really good mood. During our two-hour drive through Copenhagen, we learned a lot of interesting things about the city's history and buildings. Please note that the tour is conducted in English.
Segway tour through Copenhagen city center
First, we drove to the City Hall and the square in front of the City Hall. The City Hall Tower is still the tallest building in Copenhagen's Old Town, as it was previously forbidden to build taller buildings. We then walked through narrow alleys and streets to the Church of Our Lady and the old university. Afterwards, we continued to the Nikolaj Art Gallery. This former church was destroyed in several wars and repeatedly rebuilt. It is now used to exhibit art objects. We drove past the Royal Theater Square toward Amalienborg Palace. From the palace courtyard, you have a fantastic view of Frederik's Church.
Afterwards, we rolled to the Little Mermaid and the Kastellet. The real Little Mermaid is swarming with visitors. It's hard to get a photo without tourists in it. It was built according to a design by the Dane Edvard Eriksen, inspired by the character of the same name from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. The Kastellet is a military base still in use today, where officers live and work. It's also home to Denmark's oldest functioning windmill.
Afterwards, we headed back along the harbor toward the city center. Nyhavn is teeming with tourists; this is where all the bars and Copenhagen's only strip club, the Hong Kong, are located. We walked along the harbor to the Royal Library and rode through the beautiful garden toward Christiansborg. We passed through the courtyard to the stables of the royal horses, which were unfortunately on summer vacation. From here, we rolled back to the starting point of the tour. We were given a "Segway license"—a really fun idea—and something cold to drink. Very thoughtful!
Conclusion of our Segway tour through Copenhagen
The tour is absolutely fantastic and highly recommended. You quickly get the hang of the Segways, and even beginners like us won't have any problems. The tour is very interesting, and you get to see so many places. You wouldn't be able to reach so many of them on foot or with a sightseeing bus (since they can't get into the narrow streets). It's truly amazing how far you can cover on a Segway. The people there were very friendly and helpful. Everything was perfect!
The tickets for the Segway tour were kindly provided to us free of charge by Regiondo. Once again, we would like to express our sincere thanks for their cooperation. All descriptions, images and opinions are of course – as always – our own.
