Experience a sharp-witted historical city walk brimming with fascinating stories about powerful and resourceful women throughout Copenhagen's history. The tour is delivered with insight, humor and an eye for the curious.
Meet Queen Thyra, who founded Denmark – not Gorm the Old as many believe. Learn about Viking women on horseback bearing weapons, the legendary Agnethe from the merman saga, the brave resistance fighter Ellen Wilhelmine who outsmarted the Gestapo, the just 20-year-old Anna Hude who took up arms against her rapist, and the formidable Sigbrit whose power made the nobility tremble and convinced the king to reform Denmark. Along the way you will also hear about the daring "ham-skirt smugglers" who brought goods into the city.
