Step into Copenhagen in 1921 and experience the city as it was over a century ago.
This film captures everyday life in the Danish capital — from bustling streets and busy marketplaces to iconic landmarks and the rhythm of a city in motion. Trams pass through crowded squares, pedestrians fill the streets, and the harbor reflects a Copenhagen shaped by trade, movement, and daily routines.
We move through some of the city’s most recognizable locations, including Rådhuspladsen, Tivoli and the historic streets of the old town. Along the way, the film offers a rare glimpse into the architecture, atmosphere, and people of Copenhagen in the early 20th century.
