Overview

Copenhagen didn't become the world's happiest capital by accident. On this ride, Hassan connects the dots — from the first settlers after the ice withdrew, through Viking legend and royal ambition, all the way to the city's obsession with public space and outstanding urban planning. He is a published author and genuine expert who happens to be a brilliant storyteller, so you get real depth without a single boring minute. Expect jokes, surprises, the occasional gloriously weird saga, and a few "wait, really?" moments. By the end you won't just have seen Copenhagen. You'll understand it.
