THE HIDDEN CITY

Courtyards off the tourist track

The tour places emphasis on the smaller and larger court yards tucked into the Old Town—places that once housed local manufacturing and everyday life until roughly three decades ago—each with its own story and photographic potential.

LOCAL LIFE

Squares that were once markets

You’ll pass through several squares that today mainly offer food and drink but historically served as local markets for Copenhageners up through the mid‑1980s, giving a layered sense of the city’s changing public life.

THE PAUSE

Parks and a traditional Danish soft drink

Depending on season and pace, the route includes entry into some parks for brief or longer walks and pauses at the guide’s personal favourite place where you’ll enjoy a traditional Danish soft drink.
