All things to see an do in Copenhagen

If they are open...

  • Copenhagen Harbor- The once red-light district has turned into a bank of colorful houses and traditional Danish restaurants.
  • The Royal Palace and Cathedral- Home of the Danish Royal Family, four houses in a circle accompanied by a gorgeous cathedral. You can climb to the top!
  • The Little Mermaid-Dedicated to Hans Christian Anderson, the statue of the Little Mermaid sits on the rock just off the shore. Remember, she is called “little” for a reason.
  • The Church of Our Savior- A gorgeous church accompanied by an epic tower that you can climb for a great panoramic view.
  • Christania- An independent city started by young Polish immigrants. The government let it stay as a social experiment. It is a little sketchy but worth a visit! It is where Marijuana is sold today, and yes, it is illegal.
  • The National Museum-Free entry except to certain exhibitions.
  • #HappyWall- A fun wall where you can flip windows open to reveal a different color. A unique little attraction to Copenhagen.
  • Kongens Nytorv- All kinds of shops from designer, including the George Jenson Flagship store, to boutiques. and H&M.
  • NewEurope Free Walking Tour- Our personal favorite walking tour; pay what you feel your experience was worth. A great way to see all of the main sights of the city in 2.5 hours. Meets at the City Hall at 11pm. Book online or show up 15 minutes early for a free ticket.
  • Tivoli Gardens- Worlds 2nd oldest theme park!
  • Copenhagen Free Walking Tour- Another great free walking tour, similar to NewEurope and recommended by hostels. Meet at the City Hall at 11pm.
  • Boat Tour- there are two options, one that is 80kr and one that is 40kr. If you want a nicer boat and more language options take the 80kr. If you want the same boat just a year older and only English and Danish you can save 40kr. Located in the Copenhagen Harbor, both are 70 minutes long.
