Listen, read and watch
To ensure you can move around undisturbed, Guide Story’s content is as simple as possible. That’s why we’ve also chosen to make every single story available for reading, viewing, and listening. All our features are created by local historians and artists. For example, all the photos associated with the attractions are taken by the artist Lisa Strรธander, while the vast majority of the stories are curated and created by historian and urban explorer Anders Fallentin.

Royal affairs
Royal affairs, carps, and sewers…
Should there be room for that in Guide Story too! We believe that royal lineages and years coexist best with all the mess we also know from today. That’s why we also tell stories from the somewhat less glamorous Copenhagen, with everything it entails in terms of materials, architecture, and symbols.
No ads.
The story is ad-free
We believe that the best storytelling is free storytelling.
That’s why our historians have complete freedom to show you the city from their preferred perspectives. This means that the details you encounter in each story are solely told with the vision of presenting you with Copenhagen’s most compelling stories. Therefore, Guide Story is an independent educational medium. It may sound a bit dry, but it simply means that Guide Story is entirely unaffected by advertising campaigns, general economic measures, and tourist associations. And it will continue to be that way.
