Self-Guided Walking Tours in Denmark

3 free self-guided walking tours, with an audio guide at every stop.

Copenhagen's centre is compact enough to cross on foot in under an hour, and the city's story runs from a 17th-century merchant harbour to the seat of today's parliament.

Our self-guided walk begins at the painted houses of Nyhavn, crosses Kongens Nytorv, passes Holmen's Church and the old stock exchange, Børsen, and ends at Christiansborg Palace on the islet where the city was founded. About 40 minutes and 1.6 km.

Free, no app, no signup: the narration for each stop starts on its own as you arrive.
