Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark with a lot of history and beautiful sights not to be missed. The city offers colorful streets, palaces, museums and beautiful nature. In this blog I’m going to tell you about the highlights of Copenhagen and which places you should definitely go see when you are in this city!
Nyhavn
Nyhavn is an iconic harbor in Copenhagen with brightly colored 17th-century houses lining the water. This used to be a busy harbor full of sailors, but today it is one of the most sociable spots in the city. There are many terraces here where you can enjoy a Danish beer while admiring the wooden ships. In addition, you can take a canal cruise to see the city from the water.
Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli Gardens is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and attracts millions of visitors every year. The park has a fairy-tale atmosphere and offers both nostalgic and modern attractions. Especially during the Christmas season, Tivoli Gardens is extra fun to visit because of the lights and markets that turn the park into a winter wonderland.
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is one of Copenhagen’s most famous landmarks. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, this statue sits at the edge of the harbor and overlooks the water. The statue is relatively small, but attracts thousands of tourists every year. The Little Mermaid is a nice place to take a picture or take a walk along the waterfront.
Rosenborg Castle
The Rosenborg Castle shows you Danish history and royal wealth from the 17th century. The castle is located in the Kongens Have (King’s Garden) and showcases Denmark’s royal treasures. In the summer it is worth visiting the surrounding gardens.
Rundetaarn
The Rundetaarn (round tower) is one of the most iconic buildings in Copenhagen and offers stunning views of the city. This tower comes from the 17th century and was originally built as an observatory. You can take a spiral staircase to the top and from there you have a panoramic view of Copenhagen’s churches and rooftops. During sunrise and sunset, it is even more beautiful to go see the view from the top.
Design Museum Denmark
Denmark is known worldwide for its minimalist design, from fashion to art. The Design Museum Denmark displays a large collection of furniture and industrial designs and shows the development of Danish design over the centuries. This museum is of interest to art lovers and lovers of architecture, and in addition to the collection, the museum offers temporary exhibitions of classic and modern designers.
