Things to do in Copenhagen

Mia

From Mia's guidebook

The world famous and magic Tivoli gardens are just a short walk away from us. It is the world's second oldest amusement park only beaten by "Bakken" just outside of Copenhagen. Where Bakken is more "common" (but great) Tivoli gardens are famous for it's pristine upkeep with beautiful flowers and areas and also for it's Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "vibe" Don't miss the pantomine theatre (check calendar) along with a nice stroll - and all the amusing rides. Our favourite is a slow ride in "the flying suitcase" Here you get a little snip of HC andersens fairy tales in a quiet ride. "Smørrebrød" (open faced sandwiches) are made exactly as they have always been and perfect at "Grøften" although you may have to book well in advance here. Many other dinner options from low prices to high available too in there. If you are not in to rides, it is still worth the entrance tickets just to have been there. A christmas it is pure magic. Every saturday in summertime, Tivoli evenings end with fireworks (which you can hear at our place) Walk along Vesterbrogade to get straight to the main entrance which is the right way in for one time visitors. (bcs classic:-) and maybe leave through exit opposite the central station for a short cut through the station home.

Kristoffer

From Kristoffer's guidebook

The worlds oldest and most charming amusement park. You can spend a whole day in there getting lost in the attractions and charm. But stay there until it gets dark, as they light up the whole park with cosy lights.

Tivoli Gardens amusement park in Copenhagen is a must for all visitors to the city, young and old. Tivoli is located just a few minutes walk from City Hall, and with the Copenhagen Central Station as its nearest neighbour it is very easy to get to. Tivoli Gardens was founded in 1843 and has become a national treasure and an international attraction. Fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen visited many times, as did Walt Disney and many other celebrities, who all fell in love with the gardens. Part of Tivoli Gardens' secret is that there is something for everyone. The scenery is beautiful with exotic architecture, historic buildings and lush gardens. At night, thousands of coloured lights create a fairy tale atmosphere that is completely unique.

Mia

From Mia's guidebook

The oldest amusement park in the world! and still very well worth a visit. The old wooden roller coaster is a must! The park has great rides for kids and cool beer from the tap for the adults. Situated right in the middle of a great beautiful forest with deer and animal wildlife, this is a great place for kids and adults alike. Entrance is free, rides not. The forest in itself is also perfect for picnics with many open areas with grass. Hop on the C train towards Klampenborg at Central Station. (S trains at platform 9-10). It is a 20 min ride to end station Klampenborg. From here walk the nice way through the forest or go by horse carriage that go back and forth between bakken and station (of course for a price)

Its central location makes it a natural gathering point and a convenient starting point for exploring nearby attractions.

Visitors can admire its iconic clock tower and ornate façade and explore its interior, which features grand halls and ceremonial rooms.

Town Hall Square: Busy Town Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen) is dominated by Copenhagen Town Hall (built between 1892 and 1905), which is based on a mix of Italian Renaissance and medieval Danish architecture. For marvellous views, you can climb the tower; at 106 meters high, it is the tallest in the city. The building itself is richly adorned with sculptures and paintings. Above the main entrance is a figure of Bishop Absalon in gilded copper, and in the Great Hall are busts of Danish notables such as Martin Nyrop (1849-1921), the architect who designed the building, the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1840), Hans Christian Andersen (1805-76), and the physicist Niels Bohr (1885-1962). The World Clock at the main entrance was designed and constructed by Jens Olsen in 1955 and shows not only the time and date, but also various astronomical constellations.

Mark Francis

From Mark Francis's guidebook

This iconic danish sculpture is now over 100 years old and was a piece of art commissioned by Carl Jacobsen and created by Edvard Erikson in 1909 after Carl fell in love with the mermaid character in a ballet performance of Hans Christian Andersons fairytale – The Little Mermaid. The mermaid is about a 15 minute walk further north of Nyhavn. There is also a bus stop besides this hotspot if you don’t fancy walking. Get there early if you want to avoid the crowds of tourists, as it’s one of the most popular places to visit in Copenhagen! If you don’t fancy the walk, many canal tours pass the Little Mermaid so you can see her from the boat.

Heidi

From Heidi's guidebook

The Little Mermaid is Copenhagen's icon. This is a must to see when visiting CPH. Start your trip at Nyhavn and walk along Toldbodgade to Amalienborg (Queens Castle) and continue down Esplanaden to Royal Pavillions, Gefion Springwater and finally to the Little Mermaid. Hereafter you walk back through "Kastellet" to Kongens Nytorv and back to Nyhavn, where you will find plenty of cafees for a little drink:-)

Nicolai

From Nicolai's guidebook

The Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale, is a beloved symbol of Copenhagen. Perched on a rock by the waterfront, this iconic statue draws visitors from around the world to admire its serene beauty. While small in size, the statue's significance resonates deeply with its timeless tale of love and sacrifice. A visit to The Little Mermaid offers a tranquil moment by the sea and a chance to connect with Denmark's rich literary heritage.

Amélie Dea

From Amélie Dea's guidebook

A beautiful park right in the heart of Copenhagen next to Rosenborg Castle. A great place to relax or go for a walk. In the park there are great places for lunch and coffee - Orangeriet and Cafe Herkules. There is also pantomime for the children. Bring a blanket and a great book.

Jeppe

From Jeppe's guidebook

The King's Garden is a beautiful and stylish park in the heart of the city. You can see Rosenborg Castle, where the exhibition narrates the history of Danish kings spanning 300 years from Christian IV to Frederik VII. The exhibition includes the Danish crown regalia and jewels, as well as Denmark's throne.

Lars

From Lars's guidebook

The Kings Gardens are an attraction within themselves, also known as Kongens in Danish. This is the oldest park in Copenhagen that was established in the early part of the 17th-century. While you’re visiting the park that was commissioned by King Christian IV, you’ll find a lot of historical buildings to visit including Rosenborg Castle, which is a tour that should probably be done by itself. This is where the Royal Guards are housed in the Rosenborg Barracks. There are multiple monuments and statues to view at the park as well as a multitude of concerts, exhibitions, and other events that are held regularly through the summertime. There is also a moat and a playground at the park.

Anne Mette

From Anne Mette's guidebook

Lush park and cemetery. Used by the locals as a calm haven. Houses memorials of legendary danish writers and artists, and offers an inbuilt treasure hunt with QR codes unlocking stories and information. A great adventure and a truly beautiful site at all seasons.

Jon

From Jon's guidebook

Assistensen is probably the best graveyard in the world! It is very nice to walk here and find your own quiet little spot to chill out in. And then the most notable Danes are buried here, for instance Hans Christian Andersen, Søren Kirkegård, Peter Von Scholten and Niels Bohr. But it is also an international cementary with soldiers from WWI, Russian Cossacks from the November Revolution, and Ben Webster.

Christian

From Christian's guidebook

This is no normal cemetery, Danes lounge here and have picnics with friends and sun bath in the summer. The trees and beautiful surroundings are a lovely break from the urban environment. Grab a pastry at Mejer's Bakery and come sit and enjoy it here.

Take a peek behind the scenes of the Danish Royal Family. At Amalienborg Palace in the heart of Copenhagen, you can visit the seat of one of the world's oldest monarchies and go behind the scenes in a real royal palace. The palace is a must for anyone with a taste for royal history. Don't miss the palace square where you can watch the unforgettable changing of the guards. The Changing of The Royal Guard Amalienborg is famous for its royal guard, known as The Royal Life Guard. Every day, you can watch the changing of the guards as they march from their barracks by Rosenborg Castle through the streets of Copenhagen to Amalienborg, often accompanied by music. The changing of the guard takes place at noon. Amalienborg is made up of four identical buildings. These are Christian VII's Palace (also known as Moltke's Palace, used as a guest residence), Frederik VIII's Palace (also known as Brockdorff's Palace, home of the Crown Prince family), Christian IX's Palace (also known as Schack's Palace, home of the Queen) and Christian VIII's Palace (also known as Levetzau's Palace, used as a guest palace for Prince Joachim and Princess Benedikte). It's in this building you'll find Amalienborg Museum. Amalienborg Museum A visit to Amalienborg Museum gives you access to the private interiors of the most recent kings and queens along with an exhibit on the monarchy today with its many traditions. It's a behind-the-scenes trip sure to delight any royal fans. The scope of the museum stretches back 150 years to Christian IX and Queen Louise, who were known as "the in-laws of Europe" because four of their children ascended to the thrones of England, Greece, Russia, and Denmark. Royal history comes to life The rooms of Christian IX, Queen Louise, and their descendants are still intact, so a visit is like a journey through time. Each room reflects the modern taste of its period and the personalities of the kings and queens, whether it is in military, Victorian, or knightly style.

Mirabelle is mostly known as an ambitious café, visited for its sourdough bread, brunch plates and very very tasty croissants. But at night time it turns into a very nice restaurant. It's Italian in the very local, drop-by place, and you can get an extremely tasty pasta for a very good price. You can also have the place's own Italian soft cheeses. The wine is nice and natural, the staff is overqualified compared to the pricing, and Mirabelle at dinnertime is overall one of the best value-for-money places to eat in the entire city of Copenhagen.

Jens Erik

From Jens Erik's guidebook

The café Mirabelle, affiliated with restaurant Bæst of Michelin Bib Gourmand-fame, sells bread and pastries from 7.00 and as long as there is any bread left, usually they sell out around noon. It is expensive, but the taste is to die for. Try their sour dough bread, made from eco-wheat. They cut the loaves in half, which may be a good plan since they are the size of a medium mill-stone.

Andreas Baungård

From Andreas Baungård's guidebook

Great sourdough bakery. This is a must and it is the same founder and owner as the next door neighbor BÆST. For breakfast their sourdough bread and danishes is a must try. Very expensive but worth it. For lunch they have great sandwiches and for dinner they have good wine and pasta dishes.

Canals + Nyhavn: The image of pretty painted houses perched on the canalside is the archetypal Copenhagen scene. The city is ringed by canals, which is maybe why so many people mistakenly assume it is in Holland. Most popular are: Nyhavn. Nyhavn was originally a busy commercial port where ships from all over the world would dock. The area was packed with sailors, ladies of pleasure, pubs and alehouses. Today the beautiful old houses have been renovated and classyrestaurants dominate the old port. Nyhavn is filled with people enjoying the relaxed atmosphere by the canal, jazz music and great food. No. 9, Nyhavn, is the oldest house in the area dating back to 1681. The design of the house has not been altered since that time.Many of the houses lining the quays of Nyhavn have been the homes of prominent artists.

At the main entrance, visitors are officially received by Frederik VI, a former king much beloved by his people, so one is fully aware of entering his garden. In the waters of the beautiful garden he used to be rowed about on the canals saluting the people. The statue's pedestal has the following inscription: 'Here he felt happy in the midst of loyal people'. Today, Svendsen's Boat Service (Svendsens Bådfart) will do the rowing for you. Boat tours operate all summer. The boat tour will give you a good idea of the vastness of the gardens.

Tips for Nørrebro, where the apartment is located. Perfect for a walks and enjoying the green spots around. Suggestion for a stroll: Walk down to Nørrebroparken --> Rantzausgade --> Griffenfeltsgade --> Blågårdsplads and Blågårdsgade - very cute and lots of bars and coffee spots --> The Lakes/Dronning Louises Bro --> Ravnsborggade has nice small restaurants --> Sankt Hans Torv --> Elmegade --> Guldbergsgade - and then you’re almost home again! Nørrebrogade (The main street) is known for their falafel and shawarma. My favourite is Durum Symfonien (Very nice to sit in the front and do people watching). For boutiques I would go to Elmegade. Otherwise its mostly good secondhand/vintage (Prag is a good one!) Restaurants: - Omar - Safari - Stefanos - for pizza - Cafe Stadion - Baba d’busk (plant based and great wine) - Babboria or Baby Babboria - Manfreds (expensive but really an experience!) - Relæ (same as above) - Bar pasta For having a drink: - Vinhanen - Pompette (Favourite! Natural wine and snacks) - Friheden (Any time at the day) - Kølsters Tolv Haner If you like porridge, you should try Grød! The Best supermarked nearby is Kvickly or Irma. The cheapest are Aldi and Rema 1000

Of the three ‘Bridges’ as we call the neighborhoods, this is the most quiet and relaxed. This is a place for families to live. Not many bars and noisy clubs to keep people awake at night. Here are nice parks and places to walk with strollers, etc. Here you can find Kastellet; An old fortification of Copenhagen. It is a public park now surrounding the still functioning barracks. Langelinie borders Kastellet along the water and is the home for the famous Little Mermaid. Be advised that she really is little. Very very little and unasuming. The National Football Stadium is also here, and offers the only moments of raucous behavior in this neighborhood. Apart from the soccer, the Stadium also house the city’s only 3 star Michelin restaunrant; Geranium. There is a also wonderful local cinema located nearby called Parken. The main road is Østerbrogade which leads out of the city going North-East. Following Østerbrogade you will find the first beach at Svanemøllen, and furtjer out when the street changes name to Strandvejen (beach road) you can drive through the very upscale areas that line the coast going north.

Dragør is a town in Amager, approximately 12 kilometers from the center of Copenhagen and not part of the Capital Area. Dragør has many well-preserved historic buildings, and the old part of the town consists of idyllic cobbled alleys with yellow-painted houses and red roofs. Most of the buildings are from the 18th and 19th centuries. The harbor has a well-preserved cultural environment and is currently used by recreational sailboats, smaller fishing boats and as a base harbor for pilot boats.

Dragør has many well-preserved historical buildings. The old part of the town is a compact, picturesque maze of alleys with yellow-painted houses, red roofs, and cobblestone streets built in the traditional Danish style. Many of these buildings are hundreds of years old. Dragør was a prosperous seafaring town in the latter half of the 19th century, and its charming harbour front is still in use.

Birgitte

From Birgitte's guidebook

Dragør is only 12 km from the centre of Copenhagen, but its location on the south-east coast of Amager, south of the airport, means that it hasn't been incorporated into the city and has retained its character, that of a small seafaring town and fishing port. It's a very pretty old town with many well-preserved historical buildings, and plays host to a herring festival every August. If you don't fancy a 24 km round cycle-trip the 350S bus is direct and takes about 45mins; it stops at Nørreport Station.
