Description was written before the event

Join a chilling city walk exploring murders and unsolved mysteries in Copenhagen. From the Middle Ages to the present day, discover both solved and unsolved cases. Dark courtyards, narrow alleys, cellars, staircases, lakes and ponds were the settings for many crime scenes and discovery sites. We visit some of these locations and hear the stories behind these macabre cases. Not for the faint of heart.

About the tour: We begin at the Tycho Brahe bust, between Rundetårn and Studenterhuset. Guide: City historian Finn William Larsen. Price: 125 kr.
