In the foot steps of Hans Christian Andersen

Copenhagen Private Tour - Hans Christian Andersen was inspired by everything, people, things and buildings. When we look at the castles in Copenhagen, it is very likely that they have inspired the fairy tale: The Pig Boy.
At this great castle lived the haughty, arrogant princess, who rejected the beautiful gifts of the prince: the most beautiful rose and the nightingale, who sang the most wonderful melodies.

Copenhagen Private Tour - This small 400 years-old renaissance castle is located in the King's Garden. The most beautiful garden. Here Hans Christian Andersen often sat and fantasized. Perhaps this very castle became the home of the poor prince of the Pig Boy.

Many people know the famous author Hans Christian Andersen. He wrote his fairy tales nearly 200 years ago, but we still love to read them.

HC Andersen arrived to Copenhagen in 1819, only 14-year-old,with big theater dreams.

On this tour, we map his life and visit old buildings that inspired the poet to write some of his tales.

The poet had to go through an awful lot, before he became a famous writer and was welcomed by the higher bourgeoisie and the kings of Denmark.

About Tour Guide Jane isabella E.

I am a licensed historical guide in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is an old town with a lot of history. And I do like to tell about city's development over 1000 years. We have beautiful castles from 1600s in the center of the city, as well as palaces from the 1700s. and other . Good expamles of Renaissance and Baroque. Other interesting sights could be The little Mermaid and the Gefion Fontaine.

If you like to go out of the city, I can suggest a tour to Kronborg, known from the play Hamlet. It is located 40 km north of Copenhagen.
