In about two hours, you’ll connect the Royal Danish Theatre, Nyhavn, Amalienborg, the Marble Church, Rosenborg Castle, the Round Tower, and Andersen’s monument in the King’s Garden. Audio, maps, and directions work offline, and you can pause or replay the tour at your own pace.

“This was the perfect way to engage and encourage our kids (aged between 8-11) to walk through Copenhagen. They were so excited to complete the hunt that they were leading the way, which let the adults chat.”
