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.
