Scandinavian Local Street Hopping

OVERVIEW

Settle in at a popular restaurant for a sampling of classic Danish local treats and enjoy a delightful walk through the wonderfully atmospheric streets of the capital city. Copenhagen has long been a foodie paradise, a reputation based on classic offerings such as the ones you will be served. They include smørrebrød, an open-faced rye-bread sandwich typically topped with pickled herring, onions, capers and fresh herbs. You can also expect to sample flødeboller, a chocolate-dipped confection made with fluffy marshmallow and baked marzipan. The exact ingredients in the items will depend on the chef’s interpretations of their recipes. Your walk through downtown will be just as inspiring. The guide will describe the landmarks along the way, which include the Royal Residence Amalienborg Palace and waterfront Gefion fountain, the largest monument in Copenhagen. As you meander through the canal-lined Nyhavn district, you may spot Nyhavn 20, the former home of author Hans Christian Andersen.
