Overview
Starting from the lively Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square), this walking tour takes you through the city’s historic heart — from medieval marketplaces and hidden alleys to grand palaces and iconic waterfronts.
You’ll explore Gammeltorv and Nytorv, stroll down the storybook charm of Magstræde, cross the serene Slotsholmskanalen, and stand in the very square where Denmark’s democracy was born. At each stop, riddles and tales reveal the city’s past: kings and commoners, scandals and revolutions, visionaries and romantics.
The journey ends at the colorful canal of Nyhavn, where sailors once drank and Hans Christian Andersen dreamed. There, a massive anchor stands as a solemn reminder of something deeper — but you'll have to guess what, before we reveal the answer.
This is no ordinary city walk. It’s a playful, immersive way to uncover the layers of Copenhagen — one story at a time.
