- Marmorkirken Station - The Marble Church, or Frederik’s Church, was commissioned by King Frederik V and designed by Nicolai Eigtved in 1740. Construction slowed after Eigtved’s death in 1754 and resumed in the late 1800s under Ferdinand Melhdahl, who used limestone due to budget constraints. The dome is the third largest in Europe.

Great Quick Tour - We had a few hours in Copenhagen before embarking on a cruise. Our guide and driver were wonderful and so knowledgeable. They tried to show and give us as much information as possible in the short time we were there! And we were dropped off at the cruise terminal in plenty of time. Highly recommend.

A must do for all cruise passengers! - After three days in Copenhagen before our cruise we took this and would HIGHLY recommend! Such friendly people, very service oriented and flexible to pick us up at our hotel, and we saw things we weren’t able to get to on our own. You need to get transportation to the ship anyway - take in a few sights on the way for a very reasonable price! So glad we did it!
