Guided tours at Nordisk Film
In the heart of Valby lies Nordisk Film, a place where Danish film history still lives on between the old bricks and modern studios. When you step through the gate, you can feel the atmosphere of more than a hundred years of productions and get a vivid glimpse behind the scenes of some of Denmark's most beloved stories.
Step inside the iconic red facade buildings in Valby, where Nordisk Film has been creating movie magic since 1906. Here you will find the world's oldest, still active film studios, founded by entrepreneur Ole Olsen, and you can feel the history already at the gate with the little polar bear on the globe.
On a guided tour, you will move between the old studios from the silent film era and the ultra-modern sets with advanced lighting and sound. You will hear entertaining stories about actors, directors and filming while standing in the middle of the sets where some of Denmark's most beloved films and TV series were filmed.
For many, the highlight is meeting the Olsen Gang. The large Olsen Gang exhibition itself was previously located at Nordisk Film, but today the universe lives on in special tours where you can get up close to original props, costumes, safes and, of course, the famous red suitcases. It's pure nostalgia, even if you only know the films from streaming.
Along the way, you will see costumes and effects from other classics such as Huset på Christianshavn and Matador, and the guides spice up the story with clips, fun facts and little secrets from the set.
End your visit to the studio in Valby at the Nordisk Film Shop, where you can buy posters, DVDs, books and souvenirs to take home with you. Nordisk Film in Valby is a perfect experience for film buffs, families and curious tourists who want to get right to the heart of Danish film history.
