About the destination

About Copenhagen

Copenhagen earns its reputation as one of Europe's most liveable cities, and Questo gives you 8 self-guided city games to explore it at your own pace. Pick up your phone, follow clues through the streets, and let a story unfold as you move from landmark to landmark with no fixed meeting point.

The city has a rare quality: centuries of royal history sit right alongside free-spirited neighbourhoods where counter-culture took permanent root. The waterfront at Nyhavn, with its row of painted townhouses reflected in the canal, is as photogenic as advertised. Step a few blocks inland and the mood shifts quickly into the narrow lanes of the old city, the cobblestoned courtyards of Rosenborg, or the deliberately ungoverned streets of Christiania.

Questo's quests here cover a wide range of moods. Some follow fairy-tale threads tied to the Little Mermaid and Hans Christian Andersen. Others dig into royal Copenhagen: palaces, guard ceremonies, and the stories behind Amalienborg. There are routes through Freetown Christiania that unpack how the community came to be, and a neighbourhood quest through Vesterbro that skips the tourist circuit entirely.

A few practical notes locals agree on: Copenhagen is genuinely built for cycling, with dedicated lanes across the city. Donkey Republic bike rentals via their app are a reliable and affordable option. The city's harbour baths at Kalvebod Bølge are free and open year-round, a detail most visitors miss entirely.

It works well for couples, families, and small groups who want something more structured than wandering but more flexible than a fixed tour. Questo's Copenhagen quests are rated 4.47★ across 234 player reviews. Start your quest when the city suits you.

A taste of the challenge
01 / Word riddle

Name the creature.

I’m a majestic beast, swift and bold,
In fields of green, my tale unfolds.

A noble creature, with hooves that prance,
A symbol of freedom in every glance.

I can move swiftly, by day or night,
Chasing the wind, my spirit takes flight.

Though I may be pure, like snow, of course,
Can you guess what I am with my grace and force?

What landmarks or hidden gems will I pass on a quest?

Expect icons like Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid, Nyhavn, plus secret alleys, canalside hideaways, and stories most tours skip.

Definitely. The puzzles and stories keep kids engaged while they explore, so sightseeing feels like a game.

Any offbeat or quirky activities that aren’t the usual sightseeing?
