If you look at a map of Copenhagen you will see that Little Mermaid, Kastellet, Gefion Fountain, Amalienborg Castle and Marble Church are all in the same area of Copenhagen.

I would combine these on one day and the rest on another day. The walking distance from Marriott to Little Mermaid (the furthest point of your sites) is about 3.5 km (2 miles).

2 questions:

A- Is a canal tour worth it?

Seems like we will be seeing all sites that the canal tour will take us already?

B- Do we need to come back to Copenhagen to azfter Viking Ships Museum in order to go see Hamlet%26#39;s castle?

Is there a connecting train from Viking Shis museum area directly to Hamlet%26#39;s castle?

Thanks much for advice.

A- Is a canal tour worth it?

Whether it%26#39;s worth it for you is difficult to tell. I find a canal tour a relaxing way to the sights from a different angle and the Christianshavn area is also included in the canal tours

B- Do we need to come back to Copenhagen to azfter Viking Ships Museum in order to go see Hamlet%26#39;s castle?

Yes, you have to go back by train to Copenhagen Central Station and change train for Helsingor.

Is there a connecting train from Viking Shis museum area directly to Hamlet%26#39;s castle?

No direct trains from Roskilde to Helsingor. It%26#39;s possible to go by buses via Hillerod and Humlebaek, but that will take about 2½ hours. Travelling by train via Copenhagen takes 1:15-1:25.

Does the canal stop at Christianhavn area for tourists? Is this a hoho boat that allows visitors to explore various areas?

DFDS Canal Tours have 2 guided sightseeing tours. Red line from Nyhavn and yellow line from Gammel Strand. Besides they have hop on hop off waterbuses on 3 lines.

THANKS hANS.

Whuch of the Canal tours company is better of the 2?

|||

Can%26#39;t say. Personally I have only done a canal tour on DFDS Canal Tours.

A couple of months ago there was a discussion on the competency of the guides of the 2 companies in this thread: tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g189541-i218-k28…
