Price: Included in registration for accompanying persons
We will meet at the departure site by Holmens Church at 09:45 and take a canal trip by boat to see Copenhagen from the water front. The tour takes approximately one hour.
After the canal tour we will walk to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (approx 10 minutes) - a modern international art museum founded by the brewer Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914). Carl Jacobsen created one of the largest private art collections of his time. It was named after his brewery, Ny Carlsberg, with the addition of "Glyptotek", meaning collection of sculpture.
The museum houses the largest collection of ancient art in Northern Europe, primarily sculpture, from Egypt, the Near East, Greece and Italy. But during the more than one hundred years of its existence, the museum has also expanded the collection of French and Danish art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Impressionists, Paul Gauguin and Auguste Rodin are particularly well represented.
We will take a guided tour around the museum (conducted in English) whereupon we will enjoy a light lunch in the nice café inside the museum. After the lunch the city tour ends.
