This sharp, witty walking tour brings old Copenhagen to life through stories of powerful and resourceful women. Expect lively, entertaining accounts told without fuss, with a sense of humour for the curious and quirky details of the city's past.
Along the way you will hear about Queen Thyra, said to have founded Denmark, and about Viking women who rode to battle with weapons. You will also meet Agnete, who chose love and her children over life beneath the sea, and Ellen Wilhelmine, who risked her own life to help others and resisted the Germans in her own way. Other tales include Anna Hude, who at just 20 shot the man who attacked her, and Sigbrit, who persuaded the king to reform Denmark and frightened the nobility in the process.
