A relaxed walking tour that looks at the less polished side of Copenhagen. Your guide takes you past the equestrian statues of the kings, through the arts district of Soho, and to the new statue of Karen Blixen.
Along the way you hear stories from the period when the Royal Theatre was nicknamed the Rat Nest, when the king ruled as an absolute monarch and Sweden was the old enemy. The tour also covers the life of a ballet girl from humble beginnings who became one of Denmark's most powerful women, the dangerous love affair of the rebel Marie Grubbe, and the rise and fall of Nyhavn, with its brawls, drugs and lost reputations. It is a blend of history and entertainment with plenty of background for the sights you pass.
