Explore Copenhagen from Kongens Nytorv to the Little Mermaid with an affordable, flexible app-based quest, audio stories, and landmark stops.

Explore Copenhagen’s folklore on a flexible VoiceMap audio walk featuring Glyptotek, Christiansborg, and Agnete and the Merman.
“the narrator was very clear with the directions and had a kind intonation. the recording also gave us as much time to look at the places as we wanted, continuing the guide only after we started moving again, which provided a chill experience! the stories shared were very interesting and fun to learn about! we had a great time walking around the streets of copenhagen, discovering the many hidden gems with the guide!!”

Explore Copenhagen at your own pace with English audio, GPS directions, royal sights, and practical tips for this affordable 2 to 3 hour tour.
“Great info. However, the audio was difficult to hear. The background sounds and effects muffled the speaker. Quality became staticky when played loudly.”
Explore Christiania with a flexible smartphone puzzle walk, local stories, art, and 12 challenges for just $7.21 per person.
“This is a brilliant way to explore Christiana town, it's basically a mini walking tour with a little story behind it with some puzzles along the way. There's certain areas you can't take photos and you must be respectful to the people that live there. This activity advitises 1hr to 90ish minutes.... we took 3 hours as we kept getting distracted, shopping round the little flea markets and taking everything in! So allow plenty of time to make the most of it, this was the highlight of our weekend in Copenhagen. Highly recommend”
Solve a royal mystery while exploring Copenhagen landmarks, waterfront paths, churches, and Kastellet in a budget-friendly private game.
“Cool because you still discover different corners of Copenhagen in a playful way, especially small details that you had not seen before. From the story we found it confusing in parts, though, or at least we didn’t really see a logically gripping story from start to finish. If necessary, this is also due to one or the other somewhat bumpy translation (we played it in German). Against the background that the main goal was not a cool game but to discover the city, but basically a cool thing.Auto-translated”
Review of Copenhagen’s $9.99 self-guided royal walking tour, covering Nyhavn, Amalienborg, and more with offline audio and GPS guidance.
“We enjoyed our audio tour. We found it to be educational and liked that we could do it at our own pace. The app worked perfectly! Will look for more self-guided audio tours in the future.”
Follow Hans Christian Andersen through Copenhagen on a flexible audio walk linking theatres, Nyhavn, royal sights, gardens, and monuments.
“Could well be your first adventure in the city, as it takes you through a lot of sights worthy sites, Hans related or not, through the lens of a local with interesting anecdotes. Afterwards you can further explore the city ion your own, but with some foundational knowledge this time.”
Build a spaceship while exploring Copenhagen’s canals, palaces, bridges, and street food market on a flexible family treasure hunt.
“A nice creative way to engage small children in getting a taste for Copenhagen. You can dip in and out as you wish but we did it in one go on our first morning in the city with a 3 and 6 year old. The older child was understandably more engaged and able to cope with the walk but we all enjoyed it. By the end it left us with good options for lunch and exploring Nyhavn.”
Follow Søren Kierkegaard through Copenhagen on a witty, self-guided audio walk from his family home to his gravesite.
“Informative and witty experience. Lots of interesting information on Kierkegarrd and life in Copenhagen in the 19th century. Thoroughly enjoyed it!”
Solve a true crime mystery while walking Aarhus, from the cathedral to Møllestien, with flexible timing and a self-guided mobile format.
“Cozy and exciting story, and strolling around Aarhus, 4 of us went and three had the right solution, but we had to look a little extra for the red roosters.”
Explore Copenhagen’s Nørrebro on a flexible audio walk with local food tips, neighborhood history, and eight stops for Danish treats.
“What a great experience! I always love a guided walking tour, but to get id leas on where to eat/hace a snack it’s just better 😊”
Explore Helsingør on a flexible audio walk from Kronborg Castle to old streets, harbor sights, churches, museums, and a classic ice cream stop.
“This is not a guide to Helsingør Castle. Once you reach the castle inner entry point, the audio says "enjoy the many attractions at Helsingør Castle."”
Every kind of day in the country, and the best of each.
