Leave the grand image of Copenhagen behind on this alternative walk through the city's less polished past. The tour starts at the equestrian statue on Kongens Nytorv and heads towards the Royal Danish Theatre, with stories of kings on horseback, the art of the city's Soho district and a newly unveiled statue of Karen Blixen.
Expect lively tales of the theatre once nicknamed the Rat's Nest, of a ballet girl from humble beginnings who rose to become one of Denmark's most powerful women, and of Marie Grube's dangerous fight for love. The walk also looks at the rise and fall of Nyhavn, when brawls were daily fare and the city's wilder side ran riot. Historical edutainment with plenty of context, suited to anyone curious about the city's hidden stories.
