A whimsical and immersive dive into Danish folklore, this tour reveals the mythological beasts hidden in plain sight across Copenhagen's historic center.

The Copenhagen MonsTour offers a unique perspective on the city by focusing on the supernatural legends and folklore that shaped Danish culture. Narrated by Thomas, whose “lovely Danish accent” adds to the atmosphere, the tour guides you through central Copenhagen to spot dragons, trolls, and merfolk integrated into the architecture and public spaces.

The route covers approximately 3 kilometers and includes major landmarks like Tivoli Gardens, Town Hall Square, and Slotsholmen. It successfully blends historical facts with mythological storytelling, explaining how these legends influenced famous figures like H.C. Andersen. The tour is particularly well-suited for those who enjoy “hidden history” and want to see the city through a more imaginative lens.

One practical consideration is the timing; while the tour can be done at night for a spookier vibe, some locations like the Glyptotek Garden have specific opening hours (07:30 to 22:00). The walk is easy to follow with VoiceMap’s GPS-triggered audio, though visitors should remain mindful of Copenhagen’s busy bicycle traffic along the way.
