We were picked up from our cruise ship and taken to the Little Mermaid. It was raining so they let us stay on board and we did the whole tour in one go. The tour guide was informative but the earphones were too big for my ears. We paid for 2 days so had a shuffle bus to and from the cruise ship.

If you don't have much time to visit the city, the bus is a great option. They run every 30 minutes, and you can get off whenever you want. Keep in mind that there are three companies operating the service, and it can be a bit confusing to figure out which one you're on until you find it. We really enjoyed it.

Design your perfect Copenhagen adventure with 24/48-hour Hop-on Hop-off access, giving you the freedom to explore top sights at your own pace.

See 22 sights on the Red route with departures every 30-60 minutes, visiting must-sees like Tivoli Gardens, Museum of Copenhagen, Rosenborg Castle, and the colorful Nyhavn.

Learn in the lingo of your choice with a 10-language audio guide, track your bus in real-time with the RED app, and soak up views from open-top double-deckers.

Upgrade to a 60-minute guided boat tour through Copenhagen's harbours and canals, passing colorful Nyhavn, hip Christianshavn, and the iconic Little Mermaid statue.

24/48-hour unlimited Hop-on Hop-off tour

It's the thing to do, specially when you spend only a couple days in Copenhagen! The turn without stopping is about 1hour. You can check before the day all stops with the app. I took the 24hrs turn and I visit 6 places (I visit 2 other places the day before to optimise my 2 days in Copenhagen!). I can't put 5 stars because the central station/tivoli is not in this street. I waste my time turning around, looking for this stop and asking everyone. The depart time on the ticket is 8 am to 7 pm. I had to wait 1 hour: the opening hours of the bus is 9 am to 4:30/5 pm. And be careful: 2 red buses are in Copenhagen but they are not at the same stops and it's not the same company... I recommend this activities 100% but the meeting point should be more clear!
