Join hosts such as UV, Dani, Meg, Daniela, Nomi, and Alexa for a four-hour Copenhagen night out. You will visit five central venues, meet fellow partygoers, and receive four shots plus one beer. Expect a young, social party rather than a polished cocktail tour.

“On my travels in Copenhagen I was looking forward to joining an organised event, to meet new people and celebrate thr New Year. I was incredibly disappointed with the event, considering it was far more expensive than a standard day (I know it was NYE) it was awful. The bar that everyone meets in is tiny, no room to mingle with fellow travelers, they had taken on far too many people (apparently it’s never that many people usually the whole group was split into 4 smaller groups with at least 30/40 people in each) moving on to the next couple of bars I can honestly say they were horrific, again…”
