Copenhagen is much more than Tivoli, The Little Mermaid, and fancy restaurants. Join our walking tour and gain insight into a life of drug abuse, crime, and much more. Our guides have their own unique life stories, where they openly share about a life on the streets of Copenhagen that few are familiar with. The tour lasts 1.5 hours and includes 5-6 stops along the way. Our friendly guide, Christian, will take you on a personal tour of the popular Vesterbro area, known for its nice restaurants and lively nightlife. But Christian will show you a different side of Vesterbro, a side not many know about. Read more about Christian below. When you have an addiction, the differences between living in the countryside and in the city are noticeable: drugs are more expensive, harder to come by, and addiction treatment is scarce. I have experienced both, and that’s one of the things I will tell you about as I take you around Vesterbro. Looking forward to see you!
