Around Copenhagen
Denmark is a faiRly small country, meaning it is super easy to get around and see more than just Copenhagen. Plan an extra day and take a day trip!
- Helsingør- Home of the Kronborg Slot, or the castle that inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet. Free on Mondays. Bring your lunch and eat on the moat because most restaurants do not open until past 11.
- Roskilde- Denmark’s most preserved Viking village. Home of the Viking museum, traditional Danish houses with thatched roofs, and an open-air market to watch Viking ships being made and renovated.
- Odense- The birthplace of the famous fairytale writer, Hans Christian Andersen. A very romantic location with a quaint village and a castle set on a small island behind a beautiful drapery of vines.
A few Helpful Hints...
Tips
1. Remember Denmark is still apart of Scandinavia so it is still quite expensive.
2. Avoid winter months and try to go during May, June, or July. A lot of attractions are closed during the “off season.”
3. Make sure to try an open-faced sandwich for the full Danish experience.
