Denmark: city games
A City Game turns a walk through a city in Denmark into a self-guided game. You follow a route on your smartphone, solve puzzles at real landmarks and pick up the stories behind the streets as you go. City Games run in 5 cities in Denmark, from Copenhagen and Aalborg to Roskilde, and in Herning.
You decide when to start. Stop for a coffee or a museum visit and continue whenever you like. A game usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours and covers 3 to 4 km on foot, which makes it an easy way to see the highlights of a city in Denmark in a single afternoon.

Danish cities are small, flat and organised around bikes and water. Copenhagen mixes royal palaces, harbour baths and street food in old industrial halls. Roskilde, half an hour west, has a cathedral where Danish kings are buried and a Viking ship museum on the fjord. In Jutland, Aalborg turned its waterfront into a promenade, while Viborg is one of the oldest towns in the country, with a cathedral on the ridge between two lakes.
Cycle lanes are busy and cyclists have right of way, so look left before you step off the kerb. Wind off the sea makes it feel colder than the thermometer suggests, even in summer. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
