Mette KirkegaardCopenhagen-based travel writer & licensed city guide — Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen Unlocked is an independent guide to Copenhagen — I compare the tours and write practical guidance so you book the right one at the right price.

Who I am

I’m Mette Kirkegaard, a licensed Copenhagen city guide who has lived in Vesterbro for 14 years and walked visitors through Copenhagen since 2012. I know the bike lanes, the best smørrebrød spots, the quiet side of Nyhavn, and where the real Copenhagen lives—not the postcard version.

What I do here

I research the tours available on GetYourGuide, read through actual traveller reviews, and write honest, practical guidance on which tour suits which visitor. I’m not a tour operator and I don’t sell tickets. When you’re ready to book, I send you to GetYourGuide, a licensed reseller, to complete your booking.

How this site is funded

I earn a small affiliate commission when you book through a link on this site, at no extra cost to you. That’s what keeps the site free and me writing. It never changes which tours I recommend — see the affiliate disclosure for the full picture.
