How Corona virus affects Hamlet Tours
How Corona virus affects Hamlet Tours
We are just at the beginning of the epidemic and bookings are already down 70-80% compared to last year. We expect it to get worse before it gets better.
This week we have run only three tours with groups of 2, 9 and 9 people. As a customer it is good news. It means you can get very private tours and that the risk of getting the virus from other passengers on our tours is very low.
If you want to be extra safe, you can book our tours as private tours to avoid being with other guests.
As a company, it is, of course, a bit of a disaster. We are losing a lot of money already and our guides and drivers are not going to have much to do in the coming months which will hurt them economically.
We fully support the efforts to contain the virus. Elderly people should stay at home and the rest of us should do what we can to avoid spreading the virus. We owe that to the weak and elderly and to our health system.
We strongly discourage anyone with flu symptoms or anyone who has been to infected areas from going out in the public – including going on our tours. We will actively cancel bookings from people coming from Northern Italy, South Korea, Iran and China in the coming weeks and months.
We would like to thank the health care workers in Denmark for the enormous effort that they will put into fighting the virus.

Well… Yes and no. The monarch actually has a lot of power according to our constitution. She decides who is member of the government. She decides when to hold elections and laws are only valid if she has signed them. In practice, she always does what the Parliament wants. But if one day, she would refuse to sign a law, we would not really know what to do as there would be no constitutional way to force her to do so. It would cause a major headache for the Danish political system.
This may be the most well preserved Renaissance Castle anywhere in the World and certainly in Scandinavia. It is the home of the magnificent Crown Jewels of Denmark and has so many artifacts that you will not believe it. Among other things, Rosenborg has what we believe is the World´s oldest wine. (Please correct us if you know of any older). Bought in the 1580´s, this German red wine is still served every year at the Queens New Years reception. 
Nyhavn may be the most picturesque place in Copenhagen with its colorful old houses, old ships and lots of restaurants. The famous fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen lived in Nyhavn for combined more than 20 years in number 20, 67 and 18. On a hot summer day Nyhavn is very crowded with both locals and tourists. 
The Danish monarchy is the oldest continuing line in the world. The Royal family lives at Amalienborg Palace and unlike royal palaces in other countries, it is not hidden behind walls or fences. You can walk freely around the square with the four big houses that make up the palace complex. In our opinion it is the most beautiful place in Copenhagen. (
Christiansborg Palace is unique because it the only building in the World that has all branches of power in it. It houses the parliament, the supreme court, the prime ministers office, a church and the Queens receptions rooms. It is a majestic building from both the outside and inside and has been the center of power in Denmark for centuries. (
This iconic statue has become the symbol of Copenhagen and most tourists want to see it. It is very small but beautiful. You will see it if you go on a canal tour but get much closer if you see it from the land side.
