Traveler reviews
The experience
Amalienborg Palace, Tivoli Gardens, Nyhavn and the Little Mermaid sit on three separate bus routes, so a single ticket lets you move between them without planning connections. The open-air buses are covered in rain and heated in winter, and you can board and leave as many times as you like within the 48 hours from first use. An audio guide in English, Spanish, Italian, French and two other languages plays on board, so you get context for each stop without needing a separate tour operator.
The canal tour is included and runs 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the route. It gives you Christian's Harbor, the Opera House and the waterfront views that the bus routes miss. Because the ticket is valid for two full days, you can split the bus routes across both days: ride one route on day one, another on day two, and save the boat for whenever the weather suits you.
Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome. Public transportation options are nearby if you want to combine the ticket with other city travel, and all buses and boats are wheelchair-accessible for guests with mobility needs.
