At a glance

  • Five nights at Hotel Sanders in Copenhagen
  • Specialist-led Danish design and architecture
  • Finn Juhl's House and Louisiana by private chauffeur
  • Private food route and one major culinary experience

This six-day private Copenhagen design tour is built for travellers who want Denmark’s design legacy to be the centre of the journey, not a short museum stop. Five nights at Hotel Sanders provide one comfortable base, with private airport transfers and a first view of Copenhagen from its canals.

The programme moves from the Danish Modern collection at Designmuseum Danmark into specialist-led architecture and selected appointments in furniture, lighting, jewellery or ceramics. A private chauffeur then connects Ordrupgaard, Finn Juhl’s House and carefully chosen Arne Jacobsen sites around Klampenborg. A second chauffeur-led day is reserved for Louisiana Museum, its sculpture garden, architecture and coastal setting. Studio access is arranged on request, with free time protected for shopping or independent browsing.

Food is treated with the same judgement. A private route through bakeries, Torvehallerne, smørrebrød and Danish producers provides local context before one major Copenhagen culinary experience, selected according to the guests’ preferences. The final dinner remains deliberately casual after the main tasting experience. It is strongest for couples, collectors and design-minded private travellers who value specialist context, handled logistics and enough time to experience Copenhagen at their own pace.

Day by day

The itinerary

Day 01
1

Residential Copenhagen from the water

Arrival is kept intentionally light. A private transfer takes guests from Copenhagen Airport to Hotel Sanders, followed by time to check in and settle after the flight. A private canal cruise provides the first introduction to Copenhagen before a relaxed dinner at the hotel or a small chef-led restaurant.

  • Private pick-up at Copenhagen Airport
  • Private transfer to Hotel Sanders
  • Hotel check-in
  • Time to rest after arrival
  • Private Copenhagen canal cruise
  • Dinner at Hotel Sanders or a selected chef-led restaurant
Day 02
2

Danish design icons and contemporary architecture

The first full day establishes the design context for the journey. A private visit to Designmuseum Danmark focuses on Danish Modern and the ideas that shaped furniture, interiors and everyday objects, followed by a specialist architecture programme. Selected appointments can be arranged around the guests’ interests, while the afternoon remains free for shopping and independent exploration.

  • Privately guided visit to Designmuseum Danmark
  • Focus on the Danish Modern collection
  • Specialist-led Copenhagen architecture programme
  • Furniture, lighting, jewellery or ceramics focus
  • Private studio or gallery appointments on request
  • Free afternoon for shopping
  • Evening at leisure
Day 03
3

Finn Juhl and the golden age of Danish furniture

A private chauffeur takes guests beyond central Copenhagen for a deeper look at twentieth-century Danish architecture and furniture. Ordrupgaard and Finn Juhl’s House form the centre of the day, supported by a private English-language museum guide and an architectural lunch. The return route can include selected Arne Jacobsen sites around Klampenborg and Bellevue before a free evening.

  • Private chauffeur pick-up from Hotel Sanders
  • Ordrupgaard visit
  • Finn Juhl’s House
  • Private English-language museum tour
  • Architectural lunch arrangement
  • Bellevue, Klampenborg or selected Arne Jacobsen sites
  • Return to Copenhagen and free evening
Day 04
4

Copenhagen food culture and one defining dinner

The culinary day begins informally, using markets, bakeries and local producers to explain how Copenhagen eats beyond its destination restaurants. The guided programme is planned to finish by approximately 15:00, leaving time to rest before the journey’s major culinary evening. The restaurant is selected according to the guests’ preferences.

  • Private Copenhagen food tour
  • Selected local bakeries
  • Torvehallerne market halls
  • Smørrebrød and Danish producers
  • Free time from mid-afternoon
  • One major Copenhagen culinary experience
  • Restaurant chosen to your taste
Day 05
5

Louisiana, architecture and the Danish coast

The final full day moves north with a private chauffeur to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Art, landscape and architecture are considered together, with time for the galleries, sculpture garden and coastal setting rather than a rushed museum stop. A long lunch slows the middle of the day before the return to Copenhagen and a deliberately relaxed final dinner.

  • Private chauffeur pick-up from Hotel Sanders
  • Louisiana for Two reservation
  • Museum collection and exhibitions available during the visit
  • Sculpture garden
  • Museum architecture and coastal setting
  • Long lunch arrangement
  • Return to Copenhagen and casual final dinner
Day 06
6

Private departure

The final morning remains uncomplicated, with time to prepare for departure before a private transfer to Copenhagen Airport. Pick-up is planned around the confirmed flight and hotel check-out requirements.

  • Unhurried final morning
  • Hotel check-out
  • Private hotel pick-up
  • Private transfer to Copenhagen Airport
  • Departure timing coordinated around the confirmed flight
