If you are looking for an unconventional tour, this free tour of Christianshavn is for you. Far from the traditional tourist discourse, this tour is guided by narrators who are experts in mixing history with black humour, sarcasm and social criticism. History is not softened here: it is told as it is, but with laughter in between.

The tour begins by crossing the Inderhavnsbroen Bridge, overlooking the canal and the city, and enters the historic Christianshavn neighbourhood, known for its mix of baroque architecture and alternative urbanism. You'll discover how naval legacies coexist with the hippie communities that founded Christiania, Copenhagen's famous self-governing neighbourhood.

Your guide will take you past sites such as the Church of Our Saviour, the Copenhagen Opera House and the North Atlantic House, explaining how this neighbourhood evolved from a naval centre to one of the city's most eclectic districts.

The tour ends right at the entrance to Christiania, giving you the necessary context to explore on your own. There is no entry as part of the tour to respect the community's internal rules.

Please note that the style of the tour is overtly satirical, with a stand-up comedy approach. If you enjoy smart humour, offbeat stories and a more raw and realistic take on cities, you'll love this tour.
