A festive walk through the historic heart of Copenhagen in December. Along the way you hear about the history of Danish Christmas traditions and why the custom is called "julelege", or Christmas play.
The route winds through the Latin Quarter of the medieval city, where you compare the houses of the wealthy with those of the poor and discover the hidden shortcuts known mainly to locals. Stories also cover the Lucia tradition and figures such as N.F.S. Grundtvig and Peter Faber, plus the tale of Solvognen's fake Santa Clauses at Magasin in 1974.
