Guided tour at DAC – like a city walk, just indoors
Photo: Dansk Arkitektur Center (DAC) Do you know the classic guided city walks in Copenhagen? Our guided tours are similar – but take place indoors at DAC and BLOX, with views of the harbor and the option to explore the exhibitions before or after the tour.
On the tour, DAC’s dedicated architecture guides take you through the entire building on a guided walk through the exhibitions.
In the Golden Gallery, you’ll hear the story of Danish architecture – from Viking fortresses to the new millennium. In the largest gallery, Forum, we dive into the role of nature in the architecture of the future – and along the way you’ll also hear about BLOX, the building on Copenhagen’s waterfront that houses DAC.
After the tour, we recommend visiting the café’s rooftop terrace, with views over the harbor and the city.
