Frederik's Church, popularly known as the Marble Church, is an iconic Rococo landmark in Copenhagen boasting the largest church dome in Scandinavia. This architectural masterpiece took over 150 years to complete and stands as a majestic focal point in the historic Frederiksstaden district, directly facing Amalienborg Palace.

Serving as the winter residence of the Danish royal family, the magnificent Amalienborg Palace features four identical Rococo palaces surrounding an octagonal courtyard.

Christiansborg Palace is a magnificent Neoclassical complex on the island of Slotsholmen that serves as the seat of the Danish Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court. It is the only building in the world to house all three supreme powers of a nation and features opulent Royal Reception Rooms that continue to host state banquets and official ceremonies for the Danish Monarchy.

Situated on Kongens Nytorv, the historic Old Stage of the Royal Danish Theatre is an iconic 19th-century venue famous for its gilded decorations, painted ceilings, and world-class ballet performances.

Copenhagen City Hall is a grand National Romantic building inspired by the architecture of Siena, featuring a rich red-brick facade and an iconic 105-meter clock tower. It serves as the administrative heart of the city and houses Jens Olsen's World Clock, a masterpiece of mechanical precision that displays astronomical positions with incredible accuracy.

How does the Copenhagen scavenger hunt play?

The Copenhagen scavenger hunt is a self-guided city game you play on your phone: you walk from landmark to landmark, solve a riddle at each one by looking closely at what is in front of you, and unlock the stories and legends behind it. It takes about 3 hours, with around 48 minutes of actual walking over a little under 4 km between 10 stops, and you start whenever you like.

Highlights include City Hall, the Round Tower with its spiral ramp, the car-free Strøget, Christiansborg Palace, the colourful houses of Nyhavn, the royal palaces of Amalienborg and the Marble Church. The centre is flat and compact, and the route links old streets, canals and royal squares on foot.

A game of towers, canals and palaces

Look up, then look closer

Each of the 10 stops sets one riddle, and you solve it by studying what stands in front of you: a gilded figure above a balcony, a pair of statues outside a theatre, a number on a house by the canal. Logic does the rest, and nobody expects you to know Danish history.

The tale behind the answer

A solved riddle unlocks the story of the stop: the spiral ramp that Tsar Peter the Great is said to have ridden up on horseback, the British bombardment of 1807 that left the city without its cathedral, the Norwegian marble that grew too expensive and left a church unfinished for more than a century. Switch on the audio narration to hear it as you go.

Level streets, short hops

Google Maps guides you over 3.9 km, and only about 48 minutes of the game is spent walking. The centre stays level from City Hall Square to the harbour, and part of the way runs along Strøget, closed to cars since 1962.

Coffee by the canal

No timer runs. Sit down for a coffee or a smørrebrød in Nyhavn, carry on in the evening or another day, and open the game at a different stop in the app if you are staying near Kongens Nytorv.

Who the Copenhagen hunt suits

First day in Copenhagen

Between City Hall and the Marble Church the hunt takes in the old town, Slotsholmen, Nyhavn and Amalienborg in a single afternoon. You come away with the stories behind façades that many visitors only see from a canal boat.

Families

The riddles send children looking for things they can really see: a bishop high on a façade, two playwrights cast in bronze, a king on horseback in the middle of a square. An adult needs to be part of the team, and nothing has to be rushed.

Friends and work teams

Up to 5 players make one team, each on their own phone, and several teams can play the same route and meet at the Marble Church afterwards. The game uses public streets and squares only, so nothing has to be reserved.

Good to know

Bring a charged smartphone with mobile data; a power bank helps.
No entry tickets needed: everything happens outside the buildings. Going inside is optional and paid separately.
Family friendly; children must be accompanied by an adult.
Not suitable for wheelchair users and difficult with strollers.
Teams of up to 5 work best; bigger groups split into several teams, one ticket per player.
Every purchase helps support stray cats and dogs in Greece.

The route: from City Hall Square over Slotsholmen and along Nyhavn to the Marble Church

10 stops · about 48 min walking · start: Copenhagen City Hall (Rådhuset) · finish: Frederik's Church (Marble Church)

The hunt starts at City Hall on City Hall Square and leads through the old town to the Church of Our Lady and the Round Tower, then along Strøget. It crosses to Christiansborg Palace on Slotsholmen, continues to the Royal Danish Theatre on Kongens Nytorv, along Nyhavn and over the Nyhavn Bridge, and passes Amalienborg Palace before it finishes at Frederik's Church, the Marble Church. There is no admission to pay at any of the ten stops, because the riddles never take you indoors, and if Nyhavn or Amalienborg is closer to your hotel, the app will start you there and let you set the order yourself.

Open the route map ↗

1Copenhagen City Hall (Rådhuset)Start
Copenhagen City Hall was designed by Martin Nyrop and inaugurated in 1905, and its tower rises 105.6 metres above City Hall Square. Look up at the main façade: above the balcony stands a gilded statue of Bishop Absalon, traditionally regarded as the founder of Copenhagen.
2Church of Our Lady (Copenhagen Cathedral)
The cathedral burned down when a British fleet bombarded Copenhagen in 1807, and Christian Frederik Hansen rebuilt it in Neoclassical style; it was consecrated in 1829. Inside stand Bertel Thorvaldsen's marble statues of Christ and the apostles, and in 2004 the then Crown Prince Frederik married Mary Donaldson here.
3Round Tower (Rundetaarn)
King Christian IV had the Round Tower built in 1637–1642 as an astronomical observatory. Instead of stairs, a spiral ramp winds seven and a half turns up to a platform 34.8 metres above the street, and according to the story Tsar Peter the Great rode up it on horseback in 1716.
Read the full story →
4Strøget
Strøget is a chain of old streets that runs for about 1.1 km from City Hall Square to Kongens Nytorv. It was closed to cars in 1962, making it one of the first and longest pedestrian shopping streets in Europe, and along the way it opens onto squares such as Amagertorv with its Stork Fountain.
5Christiansborg Palace
Christiansborg on the island of Slotsholmen houses the Danish Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office and the Supreme Court, and the monarch uses its Royal Reception Rooms. The present palace, the third on the site, was finished in 1928 to designs by Thorvald Jørgensen, and beneath it lie the ruins of the castle Bishop Absalon built in 1167.
6Royal Danish Theatre (Det Kongelige Teater)
The Royal Danish Theatre was founded in 1748, and its Old Stage on Kongens Nytorv, designed by Vilhelm Dahlerup with Ove Petersen, opened in 1874. In front of the building sit bronze statues of the playwrights Ludvig Holberg and Adam Oehlenschläger.
7Nyhavn
King Christian V had the Nyhavn canal dug in 1670–1675, partly by Swedish prisoners of war, as a gateway from the sea to Kongens Nytorv. Its row of colourful houses includes number 9 from 1681, the oldest on the quay, and Hans Christian Andersen lived at number 67 and later at number 18.
Read the full story →
8Nyhavn Bridge (Nyhavnsbroen)
Nyhavnsbroen carries the street across the Nyhavn canal and links its two quays. From the bridge you get the classic view along the canal, with old wooden sailing ships moored below and colourful gabled houses on both sides, and on the far side the streets lead north towards Amalienborg.
Read the full story →
9Amalienborg Palace
Amalienborg is made up of four almost identical Rococo palaces around an octagonal square, designed by Nicolai Eigtved and built in 1750–1760 as mansions for noble families. The royal family moved in after Christiansborg burned in 1794, and in the centre stands Jacques Saly's equestrian statue of Frederik V, unveiled in 1771.
10Frederik's Church (Marble Church)Finish
King Frederik V laid the foundation stone of the Marble Church in 1749, but work stopped in 1770 because the Norwegian marble was too expensive. The ruin stood for more than a century until the financier Carl Frederik Tietgen backed its completion by Ferdinand Meldahl, and it was consecrated in 1894 under a dome 31 metres across.

Great activity if you want to see some of the modt important sights of Copenhagen while also avoiding having to plan how to get from one place to the next. The riddles arentztoo difficult and the scavenger hunt took about 2 hours. Be aware that there is quite a bit of walking involved, sometimes up to 10 minutes between two places. All in all very good value for the money.

Grunds?tzlich gute Idee, aber die R?tsel haben uns nicht so gut gefallen und es war mit Kind schwierig. Die Wege zwischen den R?tseln waren kurz, was uns gut gefallen hat. Einige wichtige/sch?ne Sehensw?rdigkeiten haben uns aber gefehlt. Und schade ist, dass man die Reihenfolge der Sehensw?rdigkeiten nicht beliebig ?ndern kann, sondern dann ?berspringen muss, wobei man die L?sung dann schon sieht und es keinen Sinn mehr hat, sp?ter zur?ckzukehren.

Die Tour dauert nicht zu lange, sodass sie weder entt?uschend kurz, noch langweilig lang wird. Man bewegt sich und erf?hrt w?hrenddessen viel ?ber die zu besuchenden Orte. Die R?tsel sind zum Teil etwas knifflig, k?nnen aber notfalls mit den Tipps gut gel?st werden. Allerdings muss man auch etwas nachdenken. Sehr Gut ist auch, dass man die Tour bei Bedarf pausieren kann, wenn man zB einen Laden besuchen, eine Sehensw?rdigkeit genauer ansehen oder etwas essen m?chte. Die Entfernungen zwischen den Zielen ist mit ca 10 min. Fu?weg gut gew?hlt, sodass die Wegstrecken sehr kurzweilig sind.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Copenhagen scavenger hunt take in time and distance?

Count on around 3 hours in all, of which 48 minutes is walking along a 3.9 km route with 10 stops. The rest goes on riddles, photos and the odd coffee, and the game waits for you if you stop and come back later.

Where is the starting point, and where is the finish?

The game opens at Copenhagen City Hall, below the gilded statue of Bishop Absalon, and closes at Frederik's Church, the Marble Church, a few steps from Amalienborg. Staying nearer the harbour? Pick another first stop in the app and play the route from there.

Is there a guide, and do we have to pick a time?

No guide and no slot. The booking reference in your email unlocks the game in the World City Trail app, and you begin whenever you are ready, on any day you like. Tickets are per player, and each of you has the game on your own screen.

Do we pay admission anywhere along the Copenhagen route?

Not for the game, because every riddle is solved outside. Walking up the ramp of the Round Tower, seeing Thorvaldsen's statues of Christ and the apostles in the Church of Our Lady, the Royal Reception Rooms and the castle ruins beneath Christiansborg, or a look inside the Marble Church under its dome are separate visits you arrange yourself.

How do children get on with it?

Yes, with an adult in the team. Copenhagen gives children plenty to track down: the Stork Fountain on Amagertorv, the king on horseback in the middle of Amalienborg's square, the old wooden sailing ships moored along Nyhavn. The route is level, but it is not suitable for wheelchairs, and cobbles make a pushchair hard work in places.

Which languages does the app offer for this hunt?

English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, chosen in the World City Trail app before the first riddle. Danish is not one of them.

Can we run it as a company or group event?

Yes. Book a ticket for each person, split into teams of five at most and send them off from City Hall Square a few minutes apart; the Marble Church is an easy place to regroup. With no venue and no start time, the only thing left to organise is who plays in which team.

What do we need on the day?

One charged smartphone with mobile data per team, a power bank, comfortable shoes for 3.9 km of pavement and cobbles, and a windproof layer for the harbour, since the whole game is played outdoors. Earphones make the narration easier to follow among the crowds on Strøget.

Bishop Absalon is waiting on City Hall Square

Every player needs a ticket, and the booking reference follows by email. Then choose your day, stand in front of City Hall, open the app and solve your first riddle beneath the man traditionally called the founder of Copenhagen.
