Overview

Denmark exists because a goddess ploughed an island out of Sweden in a single night — at least, that's what the Norse myth says. This self-guided walking tour of Copenhagen uses an app to take you from that legend's fountain to the Little Mermaid, with no guide to wait for and no group to follow.
You'll stand where Bishop Absalon built the fortress that created the city, learn why Nyhavn's colourful houses were once advertising, and discover how a small Danish trading company smuggled ninety percent of England's tea. Walk through Amalienborg — four palaces that became the royal residence only because the original burned down — and hear about a tattooed princess who quietly defied royal convention.
Start whenever you like and pause at your convinience. Everything works offline. Over 20,000 travellers have explored cities with us, and a full refund guarantee means there's nothing to lose. If you'd rather set your own pace than follow a flag, this Copenhagen audio tour was built for you.
