Walk Tøjhus Arsenal’s 163 m hall and see Danish war history from knights to Afghanistan, plus armor, hammocks, and a drone exhibit.
Monstour Danish folk legends self-guided audio tour in Copenhagen with VoiceMap GPS, offline access, and lifetime playback in English.
“It takes you around the city of Copenhagen and ,even though we already spend two days prior in the city centre, with this tour you see the sculptures and buildings through a whole different view. We loved that we good take our own pace since it's not a physical guide and group dynamic but a audiotape and a map. So we could take our time to discuss what the audio guide told us without feeling the pressure of a group waiting. It worked surprisingly well (we never did an audio tour before so we were a bit sceptic).”
