Homeless citizens have become tourist guides, showing people a different side of Copenhagen. The guides present their city, their daily lives there, and their favourite places to find warmth, comfort and shelter.

These alternative tours are carried out on foot or on a riverboat, depending on the circuit. One of these tours is carried out by Frederik, who was a sailor before becoming homeless. All the tour guides have undergone training for the job. There are 6 of them for now, some of whom conduct tours in English. They keep some of the proceeds of ticket sales, although the amoung is not enough to live off all year round. This report is from Denmark, a country with one of the lowest poverty rates in Europe.
