About this tour
When Lily from our BugBitten team tried this Copenhagen Segway tour, she found it a solid way to rack up sights while soaking in the festive buzz. You start with a training session at their shop, then cruise through car-free zones past 10-odd landmarks — Little Mermaid, Amalienborg Palace, and more — before parking up for 25 minutes at the Royal Theatre's adjacent Christmas markets near Nyhavn. It's 90 minutes total, and the tour wraps with a complimentary organic drink back at base. Copenhagen in December feels crisp and merry, with locals and tourists mingling at the seasonal stalls.

What to expect
Lily arrived 15 minutes early for check-in and a quick Segway tutorial — essential because it takes a few minutes to get the balance and steering feel right. Once confident, the guide led the group through Copenhagen's quieter streets and open plazas, pointing out palaces, landmarks, and seasonal context as you glide. The pace is leisurely; you're moving at a relaxed clip, not racing.
Halfway through, you park up near the Royal Theatre and have about 25 minutes to wander the two Christmas markets flanking Nyhavn. The stalls sell festive crafts, food, and mulled wine — proper hygge territory. If markets aren't your thing, the cafe next door serves warm drinks at guest-friendly rates. The route winds back to the shop, where you'll get that final organic beverage and a bit of a breather before heading off.
Good to know
This tour bundles sightseeing and seasonal spirit without burning you out. The car-free zones mean you're genuinely relaxed, not white-knuckling through traffic. Headsets and a trained local guide mean context lands clearly. December in Copenhagen is genuinely festive — cold and crisp, perfect for this pace. It suits fit adults and kids 11+ (35kg minimum weight, 135cm height minimum) who've got reasonable balance and cardiovascular health.
You must be able to stand for the full 90 minutes and step on/off the Segway with ease — not ideal if you've got mobility issues, spinal problems, or are pregnant. The weight range (35–125kg) excludes some. High heels and loose clothing are problematic. Sunday and Monday swap the cafe stop elsewhere due to theatre closures. Christmas market crowds mean the 25-minute stop can feel rushed if you're a browser. Cold weather is relentless; bring warm layers and gloves.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Wear warm clothes, sensible shoes, no heels. Markets and cafe costs are extra. Helmet, poncho, and drink are included. Tours run rain or shine unless unsafe. Max 35–125kg; min 135cm tall, 11 years old.
