Overview

Copenhagen has a dark history that few people know about...
The Slaves of Copenhagen is a dramatized, historical audio tour that takes you on a walk from Nyhavn and into the area around Amalienborg Castle in Copenhagen.

Along the way, you will be introduced to unique Copenhagen buildings and sculptures that draw blood-red threads directly back to Denmark's time as a slave-trading nation.
You will also be taken to Ghana in the year 1802. Here you will experience up close how the 14-year-old Kwame is kidnapped by slave hunters. You follow his cruel journey from the African coast across the merciless Atlantic to a new life in the New World.
