There are unfortunately unbelievable long stretches of cobblestones here, so all terrain wheelchairs are best suited for this tour.
Tourists and travellers catch the sights of Nyhavn and Amalienborg, but what are they really looking at? More than just a row of colourful bars and a cute little castle. You can also see signs of slavery and sugar, spelling errors and sham. Military men, marble, medicine. Experience the transformation of a nice backdrop of a posh part of town to a liveable real city on this tour going to and from Nyhavn.
With your back to the memorial anchor this is your view. Please notice a long straight road, Gothersgade, Copenhagen’s first non-crooked street.
This (flexible) tour does not have a theme other than architecture, history and the Frederiksstad so there’s no morale or offensiveness – though I do have opinions about what we’re seeing. There is no fact sheet or hand out after the tour due to its less sharply angled theme.
