Let the city tell its own story. LydGuiden is your pocket storyteller for walking tours in Denmark. When you approach a monument, a church or a street corner with a story to tell, a vivid audio story starts all by itself — all you have to do is walk. Put on your headphones, put the phone in your pocket, and experience Copenhagen and Aalborg as if a local historian walked beside you. HOW IT WORKS • The map shows places around you. Green pins are ready to play. • Auto-play is on from the start — a story begins when you walk past a place. • Or pick a place on the map or in the list and press play. • Plan a route by time or distance — the guide builds your tour. WHY YOU WILL LIKE IT • Stories written for the ear — like an audiobook, not an encyclopedia. • Starts automatically via GPS — even with the screen locked and the phone in your pocket. • Lock screen controls: play, pause and skip. • Download stories for offline use at the sights. • Clean, calm, free and ad-free. LydGuiden currently covers Copenhagen (96 places) and Aalborg (31 places), with more cities on the way. Stories are narrated in Danish. Your location is processed on your device only — it is never sent to a server and never stored. Stories are written with the help of artificial intelligence, fact-checked against sources, and narrated by an AI voice. Maps: © OpenStreetMap contributors, © CARTO. Photos: Wikimedia Commons.
