A self guided audio tour of Copenhagen.
Copenhagen rewards the walker with a compact centre that moves easily from the bright harbour edge to quiet palace squares to the canals of Christianshavn. The light changes everything here, soft and low for much of the year, and the city seems designed around it. Old and quietly modern sit close together without making much of the distance between them.
In the app, 100 stops in Copenhagen are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
The opening lines of a few narrations, straight from the tour.

"When you look at these brightly colored townhouses, you might not guess the drama that lies ahead."
"You're standing in front of a place that started life not as a grand palace, but as a summer home."
"You're standing here in front of a statue that has seen an incredible amount of history."
"You're standing in front of one of Copenhagen's most grand architectural statements."
"When they commissioned a church dedicated to the Danish philosopher N."
