Description
Explore the quirky neighborhoods of Vesterbro and Christianshavn, popular with locals, on this alternative private tour. Walk along Viktoriagade, a street with 400 years of history and an ancient city entrance, continuing to Det Ny Teater, one of Denmark’s largest theaters.
Enjoy the relaxed, French-inspired atmosphere on Værnedamsvej, a bustling shopping street between Vesterbro and Frederiksberg. Take a breather in Skydebanehaven park before reaching Istedgade Street, where you can view the facade of Star Radio, a key site of the Danish resistance during World War II.
