Walk in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen
Copenhagen- the city where H.C.Andersen lived and where he wrote most of his fairy tales. During this tour we will walk in the footsteps of H.C.Andersen and see where he lived, when his first fairy tale was published, where he liked to get a cup of coffee with the famous Danish pastry and where he came to enjoy his “smørrebrød”. We shall walk the same streets he once walked and you will feel the same atmosphere of the crooked back streets and charming squares, old courtyards and churches. You will have a stroll in the King’s gardens, where he also liked to walk and where he found inspiration for one of his famous fairy tales. We’ll pass by the Royal Residence and try to guess in what fairy tale he described it. The tour starts at the City Hall Square.
