Follow the life of Denmark's famous storyteller on this 2-hour GPS-guided walk through Copenhagen's historic center, from the Royal Theatre to Nyhavn.

This self-guided audio tour follows the life of Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark’s most famous storyteller. Starting at the Royal Danish Theatre, where Andersen first sought fame as a teenager, the walk winds through the streets of Copenhagen to explore the locations that shaped his career and personal life.

The route covers major landmarks including Nyhavn, where Andersen lived for many years, and the Amalienborg Palace. It also ventures into the King’s Garden and past the Round Tower, blending historical facts with anecdotes about his friendships and the inspirations behind his fairy tales.

As a VoiceMap tour, it uses GPS to trigger audio automatically at specific locations, allowing for a hands-free experience. The tour is approximately 5km long and takes about two hours to complete at a steady pace, though users can pause the audio to explore sites like the Marble Church or local cafes along the way.
