Copenhagen: Guided Party Pub Crawl with 4 Shots and 1 Drink
This pub crawl in Copenhagen is designed for those eager to experience the city’s vibrant nightlife without the hassle of planning each stop. Starting at either Aloha Beach Bar or Den Jyske Ambassade—both right across the street from each other—you’ll spend four hours exploring some of the best spots in town. Along the way, you’ll enjoy 4 complimentary shots, a beer, and visit lively venues like dance bars and main party streets, with your guide leading the charge for a night full of fun, new friends, and, of course, plenty to drink.
What we particularly love about this experience is the friendly, knowledgeable guides who keep the atmosphere lively and safe, and the chance to sample Copenhagen’s diverse nightlife in a single night—all for only $37. The tour’s focus on authentic venues, from jazz bars to dance clubs, ensures you get a real taste of what makes the Copenhagen scene so dynamic.

Also, it’s primarily aimed at travelers aged 18-35, though the reviews suggest that young-at-heart visitors of all ages are welcome, especially if you’re ready to party.
