Blood, executioners and brothels As darkness falls on Copenhagen, the past comes to life. Behind the cozy facades, the city hides bloody secrets, sinister figures and sinister crimes. This isn't the polished version of the story -- it's the tales you never got in the school books. You are led through the narrow streets where booze-rigid gangs rampaged, sex workers fought for survival, and executioners swung their axes without mercy. You'll meet impostors who swindled their way to riches, thieves who outsmarted even the most cunning cops -- and murderers who committed crimes so heinous that the blood still freezes to ice. This is a journey into a city where reality surpasses any thriller and where you must hold your breath as the stories slowly unfold in the dark of night. Our narrators take you closer to the fates that once haunted the streets -- and perhaps still do. Welcome to a tour where fear and fascination go hand in hand, and where the truth turns out to be scarier than any fiction can imagine.

The City Inside

The city on Vrangen Step into a world where nothing is as it seems and where laughter, wonder and weirdness go hand in hand. The city on the inside is possibly the most entertaining and bizarre city walk you will ever experience in Copenhagen. Here the story is turned upside down and familiar places are given a whole new lease of life in tales that are as wild as they are hilarious. We take you through the heart of the city — from Copenhagen City Court to the Church of Our Lady, Strøget and the evocative Jorcks Passage — but nothing is quite as you think. Behind the familiar facades hide stories that rarely escape the light of day. We have dug deep into the archives and discovered the secrets that turn the city walk into an experience full of surprises. Here there are no dry facts, but tales that push to your imagination and make you see the city with new eyes. You will encounter the familiar side of Copenhagen, but at the same time the warped, crazy and distorted reality that lies just beneath the surface. Every street stores a story, and every story turns upside down on what you thought you knew. Take a journey into a city that has been turned inside out. Look forward to laughs, thrills, mystery and amazement in a cocktail of entertainment that will leave you both puzzled and uplifted. Once the trip is over, you will never see Copenhagen the same way again.

Male Girls, Homos and Hot Stories

Male girls, homos and hefty stories Join Anders Anderskov on an explosive and frenzied journey through gay Copenhagen — a journey in which forbidden love, secret encounters and reckless joie de vivre merge into a tale that teems with both danger and freedom. Here, it's not the nice story you get. Anders takes you (almost) by the hand and drags you through the forbidden temptations of Ørstedparken, on into the dark alleys of the Latin Quarter, where the shadows hide both scandal and sweetness, and finally past the world's oldest gay tavern, Central— where the walls still whisper of the loose nights of the past. Along the way, you will meet figures and places that both shock and fascinate: Mutter Luce, Herman Bang, Marine Arne and the notorious doctor Carl Værnet. You feel the breath of history from a time when love was called crime and when lust could cost both honor and freedom. We delve into the great morality case in 1906, hear the juicy gossip from ward 6 of the Kommunehospitalet and follow the struggle against the foundation of the 1948 Circle, which defied the cold prohibitions of the law with unimaginable defiance. And we also don't forget the dark years of the AIDS epidemic in the 80s, when fear and grief washed through the environment like a wave of death. But even in the dark, the light lives. The tour is packed with laughs, anecdotes and outrageous stories that will make you both shudder and laugh. And who knows -- maybe Anders even breaks out into a song or two, taken directly from the very hot countries. An experience you will soon forget.

Kinky Copenhagen

Kinky Copenhagen Step into a world of passion, seduction and petty lust as you take your loved one — or someone else entirely — by the hand and follow us on a juicy city walk through Copenhagen's romantic and sometimes rather kinky history. The streets become vivid backdrops for tales of sweet love, secret rendezvous and the affairs that one would rather not talk about aloud, but which nevertheless put the city on the other side. Here you will meet salsa nymphs and luxury whores who seduced the rich and powerful, leaving both scandals and longing glances. You'll hear about royal lovemaking, lavish weddings and erotic experiments where the passion balanced between what is seductive and what is comically biscuit. Even the postcards hide little secrets: intimate declarations of love written with a mixture of tenderness, longing and vivid imagination. But there is also room for the bold stories where taboos were broken and new ideas about eroticism and freedom emerged — not least when porn got its release and sparked conversations and performances alike. On the tour you will even get an insight into the love magic of the commons, old folk tales and seductive tricks that were supposed to ensure both lust and faithfulness throughout time. This cheeky, hilarious and sultry journey through Copenhagen's past will seduce you with stories that are equal parts sweet, outrageous and surprising. Immerse yourself in the erotic currents of the city's history — and discover how love and lust have always had a place in the heart of the capital.

Curly Copenhagen

Curly Copenhagen Forget about neat, polished Copenhagen -- we invite you into a city so crumpled that even a permanent one would give up. Here you meet a founder who never founded the city, and before you know it, the stories tumble out as a mix of adventure, “stand-up” and sheer madness. You get to greet Laurits Konst and Kim Larsen, each of whom has left their indelible mark on the streets, and you meet both Denmark's smartest man and coolest woman (she was a true first-mover long before the word was even coined). We move through the old minefield, getting wiser about drift mines and the famous Mayonnaise neighborhood, where the smile does not pause. And when the hell breaks loose in Laksegade, you can fasten your seatbelt. We teach you how to flirt at Strøget like in the 1800s, look inside the “new” stock exchange, and you need to get wise to hippies, weed and Santa's church. And like a somewhat early raisin in the sausage end, we find out why a breakfast tavern was once given the very straightforward name: “P.. is lovely.” It's all wrapped up in beards, fuss and astonishing tales that make the city more vibrant than ever. Here you will not get dry years and dusty facts, but a journey through Copenhagen that is both quirky, crazy and completely unforgettable. So drop the boring -- join us for a walk in crumpled Copenhagen. You get to laugh, shake your head and go home with the wildest tales.

Stabbing pigs. Shh.. The walls have ears.

Prickly Pig We move into a city that was then dark, heavy and gloomy. Copenhagen during the occupation was a city filled with enemies and traitors, with cover-up, scarcity, anxiety and fear. Everywhere, stabbers lurked, and the Resistance cracked down hard and brutally before they could gossip to the Nazis. It is here, amid the shadows, that the stories play out. You'll get up close to the violent liquidations that changed the streetscape overnight, and hear about cunning acts of sabotage in which resistance fighters risked everything — often with death as the only alternative. At the same time, you almost feel the pain of the many arrests in which brave Danish men and women fell into the hands of brutal henchmen and never got free again. Along the way, you'll meet legends like Flammen and Citronen, the formidable Lis, whose life was saved by a sore throat, and the fearless groups BOPA and Holger Danske, who put everything into a freedom we take for granted today. You'll be right up close as five kilograms of explosives shake Strøget, when a camouflage-colored house reveals its fate, and when one of the worst pricks, the Horse Thief, meets his last hour under the lead-heavy bullets of the Resistance. It's a journey into a world where the silence could be more dangerous than the noise, and where life could be changed in a split second. The tour is created and guided by the experienced narrator, journalist and author Anders Fenger, who has written the book The Last Saboteur — Ejlar Borch's Memories of the Occupation. Shh... The walls have ears.

The Men's Tour

*Join us on a real men's tour. * By a man. For men. We must go out and hear it. through the narrow alleys, looking up and looking down, past the taverns and across the cobblestones, where the city smelled of tar, sweat, beer and ambition. We hear about the town's so-called founder Absalon -- the bishop with illegal gun possession -- and about the barely sobering accounts of the wood-wine burners and beer brewers who kept both heart king and claw kid going. We encounter sausage carts and fry cellars, aldermen and town halls, power and abuse of power. Charlatans and executioners. Whores and pickpockets. Men who built the city -- and men who burned it down. And, of course, Chr. fourtal. The king with building madness, war toil, lust for love — and about 23 children plus the loose. These are tales of power, drunkenness, folly, courage, lust and manfolk over 800 years. About glory and failure. About those who triumphed -- and those who ended up on the shaft. A trip of laughs, horror and historical pondus. An obvious experience for men of all kinds: Colleagues, comrades, fathers, sons, brothers-in-law and journeymen. (Women are also, of course, more than welcome. ) *

Happy Hippie

“Trip” with a true Christianite, the Joker, into a colorful flashback when he invites you on a city walk through Christianshavn, where you experience the wild years between the 1960s and the 70s — when the hippies challenged the pulse of the whole city. We start in Christianshavn's old slum environment, where housing distress was immense and young people took matters into their own hands by moving into dilapidated apartments and backyards. Here we feel the echo of the worn stairwells, the homemade posters on the walls and the smell of coffee, smoke and revolution. Along the way we dive into the roots of music: Steppeulvene, Gasolin' and others who gave Copenhagen a soundtrack of freedom, provocation and poetry. We stop at places where the rhythms were jammed and the stories still hang in the brickwork. Yes, even the rat hole from Huset on Christianshavn will take you by the Joker before the trip continues towards Fristaden. You will also hear about the first “Love-In”, namely the Danish “Summer of Love” in 1967 in Kongens Have, the story of the “big, ugly Storkespringvand”, where the energy of the street and the rebellion of the youth also unfolded, and on to Bådsmandsstræde, where a disused barracks became the sanctuary of Christiania, which the tour goes through. The tour offers the dream of community and self-determination — and how the “movement” split: some sought a political path, others plunged headlong into the psychedelic universe. And don't worry: we're talking about real hippies — not hipsters from Vesterbro anno 2010. The tour will not premiere until 2048.

Over Stick and Stone

Over sticks and stones is the city walk, created for the walking impaired — but in reality it is for anyone who prefers a quiet pace and good stories to haste. The tour is designed for guests with cane, walker, wheelchair or simply those who like to take their time. Here there is no stress, no hustle and no sour mines, only tales, laughs and presence. The tour both sneaks and snails its way through the Inner City, where it opens up one crazy, quirky and adventurous tale after another. You'll see smiles grow wider and curiosity grow as you grow wiser — all while moving through streets and alleys that you may have passed countless times without ever really seeing them. All at a pace where everyone can participate. Your guide is not in a hurry. He is afflicted with sclerosis, but at the same time he is a true Copenhagen connoisseur with a wide range of stories about the city's streets, its people — both the good and the less good — about tall towers from the round to the recently burned down, and about places where the wood wine has played a not insignificant role (although not included in the price). Over cane and stone is created specifically for anyone with low-tech exoskeleton (cane), pensioner-porsche (walker) or street lounge (wheelchair). Along the way, you will learn more about the old town — from Kultorvet and Rundetårn to the passages and Strøget. And of course we start with the explanation of why the tour is called Over Stick and Stone — because it is the exact opposite.

Clever Åge and brilliant Åse

Clever Åge and brilliant Åse A brilliant fun ride. Most stupid kids have probably heard that there are many ways to be smart. And while that may be true, there is a special league: the Wise Yaks. Yes, and the brilliant Hills for they will certainly not be forgotten here with us. On this city walk, we will meet the darkest bulbs of the dark capital as we stroll through the streets and greet a number of people whose life's work is completely incomprehensible to most. We go on a trip with the brightest in the class and let ourselves be bombarded by clever thoughts and other shrewd insights. During the trip we will get acquainted with philosophy, mathematics, medicine, physics, linguistics and zoology. We also have to meet the Renaissance's response to the wise Åge — a genuine polyhistorian who simply knew a little bit of everything. Don't be afraid to get dizzy. Because as Niels Bohr said, if you don't get dizzy when you hear about quantum mechanics, you haven't understood any of it. But.. you have to snare fear to crack of laughs for the ride is both nerdy, gacky and brilliant. And perhaps it's worth remembering that just beneath all that cleverness lies a madness, for isn't there something about it being a hair-fine line between mad and brilliant?

YOUNG

Either you are or you have been. YOUNG! For almost 100 years, parts of the youth have had a pronounced need to find themselves by stepping more or less out of the large community and instead creating smaller, denser, and often more noisy communities. In the past, they were called subcultures or subterranean environments. Today we prefer to talk about style communities or identity groupings — dear children have many names, and the child has always had funny hair, strange clothes or very strong attitudes. You could gather about music and lifestyle, but at least as often it was about distancing oneself from the existing society, the nice bourgeoisie and everything that smelled of liver steaks and detached houses. Since the mid-1980s, however, something new has happened: The distance from underground to mainstream has become extremely short. Where something before might be obscure for years, today -- literally -- minutes pass from riot to merchandise. With social media even shorter. The concept of subculture covers a lot, and here we are going to meet the classic ones. The swing bandits, who outraged the bourgeoisie and took jazz all the way out there, where adults became nervous and had to beat. The leather jackets, which struck at everyone including himself. Provoes as... Hippies who wanted to save the world, gladly with flowers, weed and community singing. And then punks and hip hoppers, each in their own way shouting very loudly, because no one was listening anyway. Most of the impulses came from outside, but Denmark also managed to create its own, distinctive subculture — it was not as sympathetic as others, and it has almost been forgotten again. You will hear about it though. Today the picture looks different. Modern subcultures are often mass movements: trends, aesthetics, and identities shared globally, simultaneously, and in vast quantities. Rebellion in droves. Underground in broad daylight. And everyone knows it.

The Witch Walk

The Witch Walk in English Dare to wander into the darkest corners of Copenhagen... where the past is not dead—only waiting. When night falls, the city changes. Shadows stretch, whispers echo through narrow streets, and something unseen moves just out of sight. Long ago, people knew better than to walk alone after dark... because they were not alone. On this tour, you will hear of witches consumed by fire while the crowd watched in silence... of a time when Satan himself was said to run a bank in the city... and of Denmark's most cursed book, hidden deep beneath the Round Tower—where some claim it still breathes. Perhaps you will even catch a glimpse of a very special child's ghost. You will encounter the legacy of Ben Kadosh, the Danish Aleister Crowley... and learn the forbidden art of calling spirits from the other side. But be warned: some things should not be summoned. Och vi kan du denne: med 99%, du kommer att med den Prinsen av Darkness Himself. And the remaining 1%? ... that's what should worry you. Step into the dark... and pray that nothing follows you home. The tour starts at Bispetorvet 1 - 3. 1167 Kbh. K opposite Our Lady Church at Nørregade, and ends at the same place.
