Copenhagen is a nice and peaceful place filled with hygge - the special Danish feeling of cozyness. But the old streets of Denmarks capital hides a lot of secrets from almost 1000 years of history. From the founder of Copenhagen, the warrior and bishop Absalon over the British terror bombings in 1807 - the first such thing in modern warfare - over tales of poverty, prostitution, epidemics in a crowded city and a fire that became a disaster because the firemen were drunk. I will show you the sites of murders and other crimes, tell the tales of crazy kings running amok and show you the old place of corporal punishment in a nice city square. And of course we will find room for the tales of a good, sordid scandal or three. It will be scary, fun and informative!
A nice walk on the dark side of Copenhagen will lead us through most of the great sights of Copenhagen - so you will also visit a lot of must-see-places! We'll meet at the lovely Nyhavn and hear of the hard forced labor that created it. Afterward, we see one of the palaces created by money made on the slave trade and hear the story about the close ties between the royal theater and high-end prostitution. The trip can take us past a small city cemetery, where you will hear about the problems of burying people in a crowded and walled-in city before we visit the parliament and old royal castle to hear about a couple of political scandals and the fires that have destroyed the building several times. We might take a break at a historical pub or for lunch before we go on to hear more stories from the bad old days.

We will walk - parts of the inner city are closed for cars, and Copenhagen is the best-expearienced walking. If we'll meet at the cruise terminal or another place of your choice, we might use taxis or public transportation (extra charge)
