Golden‑Age Copenhagen, 1840
This is Copenhagen during the Danish Golden Age: a compact city still bound by its old ramparts where Neoclassical facades, church spires and narrow cobbled streets frame cafés, workshops and dockside life. The walk moves from the harbour into the heart of the city, past Nyhavn parlours, the Royal Theatre and the sites chosen for Thorvaldsen's museum and the new Tivoli, with oil lamps and night watchmen on the streets.
34 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Copenhagen as it stood in 1840 (“Danish Golden Age”).
