The 49 best sights in Copenhagen

An excellent park although off to a skeptical start when I saw the first ride we went on had a member of staff on to "pull the brake". Lots of rides to suit all with a fair number of "tummy turners". Queues were small and the facilities such as food and toilets were at a good standard. We used the Copenhagen card to get in but you need to pay extra for the rides. Was quite cold when we were there so dress appropriately. The teenage kids enjoyed it so that's a thumbs up !

Had such a fun day at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen! The autumn vibes were magical, and the park looks absolutely stunning as the lights come on in the evening. I highly recommend going late afternoon so you can enjoy it in daylight and then see it sparkle at night. The food was delicious, the rides and attractions were super fun, and the whole day just felt so cozy and special. A must-visit for anyone in Copenhagen! 🎡🍂✨

Went here for the halloween themed gardens, it was amazing. So much to do for all ages. Rides, show for the little children, pumpkin carving, amusements, stalls to buy gifts and plenty of food and drink stalls. You can go in and out if you get a stamp and there's plenty of shops nearby. Was a great day out.

We visited just before Halloween and had a great time. The decorations and while atmosphere just felt special. I initially thought that the entry and ride ticket was a little expensive but it certainly wasn’t, only major queues were for food outlets at meal time which is understandable. Download the app and you can also have free copies of the ride photos, something completely unheard of in our native UK. Highly recommend and a highlight of our family trip to Copenhagen

Beautiful theme park in the city center of Copenhagen, Denmark. My Danish friends told me that It was the inspiration of Disney’s World. Lovely theme park with various rides and attractions, bars, ice cream, candy shops and restaurants as well as souvenirs and artisanal shops. I came here in October so the park was lavishly decorated with Halloween theme 🎃🎃🎃. It was packed even on weekdays. I tried Demon, the 🎢 rollercoaster (the queue was 45 minutes for a 1 - minute fun ride! 😇) and we had fun! We also had wonderful dinner in Mikkeler Færgerkroen restaurant. Fun attractions include the old wooden rollercoaster, fatamorgana, carousel, boat ride, Ferris wheels 🎡, swinging carousel, bumper car and more. The tickets are available online as well as through Tivoli app. You can get the passes as well, starting for the standard pass for 12 months to silver, gold and wild card. Get more details on their app and website. Single ride tickets are also available, from 50 - 60 DKK. Watch out for the health and safety limitations for the rides. Toilets are available here and there. Some parts are flat and ♿️✅ disability friendly, but some parts have stairs.

Great experience. Was really nice walking and enjoying all the Halloween themed corners. There are some nice food stalls and also some nice cafe and restaurants so that makes it a really nice full experience with the haunted houses and all the rest of the amenities. Great overall.

Great day out, rides were good. Went on a few couple times. Wait times were around 30mins which wasn't too bad for most rides. Food was priced reasonably inside the park and you also had the food hall next door so had a few to choose from. Will definitely visit again when visiting Copenhagen.

Nice to walk through and appreciate the tourists althoguh we went on a stormy day to avoid tourists and make the photos a bit more moody. This place can get very busy, and food/ bars are just there for the tourists who step off the boats .... I suggest venturing down the alleys as there are plenty of hidden gems in this city.

A very pleasant and lively area. A boat tour is recommended. You can see many places in an hour. I think there are two boat tours. One is very cheap. You should ask about the difference and choose accordingly.

Visited Nyhavn over the weekend and absolutely loved it! 🌈 The colorful houses along the canal look stunning, especially on a sunny day ☀️. Tip: for the best photo, click from the opposite side of the canal 📸. Lined with cozy cafes and restaurants, it’s a perfect place to relax, enjoy a meal, and soak in the cheerful Copenhagen vibes 🇩🇰.

It's a must see and very photographic landmark area. There are numerous restaurants and small shops. You catch a canal tour here as well. Don't forget to visit the shop where Hans Christian Anderson once lived.

Amazing view. Enjoy the walk and photo taking. Stop by for a drink as well but the river side.

If you want to see only one place in Copenhagen, it should be definitely Nyhavn. Fabulous and lovely! Full of nice and cozy cafe and restaurant around it.

Nyhavn is an absolute must-see in Copenhagen—a lively, colorful waterfront that perfectly captures the city’s charm. I loved strolling along the canal, lined with vibrant, historic buildings, bustling cafes, and restaurants. It’s a fantastic spot to sit, enjoy a drink, and soak in the scenery.

Loved it. Spent about 3 hours here. Very well curated. Displays of the Castle itself and not a ' general history museum'. Authentic, original displays. You will be amazed and stunned to see the Crown and Jewellery display section. Look out of the windows on higher floor at the adjacent Gardens. Entry to the Gardens is free.

Rosenborg Castle is a historic site in central Copenhagen, best known for housing the Danish Crown Jewels and Royal Regalia. The rooms are well-preserved and give a good overview of Denmark’s royal history. The Treasury in the basement is a highlight. The surrounding King’s Garden is open to the public and great for a walk. Worth a visit if you're interested in history or culture. Buy tickets in advance to avoid lines.

Rosenborg Castle is a wonderful place to visit: full of history, charm, and beautifully preserved treasures. The interiors and royal collections are fascinating. However, the exhibition lighting could be improved, as some areas were quite dim and it was difficult to see certain displays clearly. Overall, still a great experience and definitely worth visiting!

Well truely a marvel of the history. Absolutely loved the aura of the castle and its surroundings. There is big park and lake in front of the castle. It is easy to get to the place, thanks to the well connected public transport systems. The architecture of the castle is something that is worth mentioning. I would recommend to read and learn about the history of the palace before visiting it so that you can just relive the past and get a feel of the same. If you are planning to go in a weekend, be prepared to wait for sometime as there would be rush.

Beautiful site and an easy walk from the waterfront. You can also peek at the King’s Gardens out back — immaculately kept, of course. The day pass is worth it for convenient access to the castle. Free lockers are a nice touch, and the guards with bayonets add a bit of royal drama. Inside, the halls are filled with art and artifacts — the grand hall with the thrones and lion statues is a standout. Don’t miss the Crown Jewels in the walk-in vault downstairs, complete with a step ladder for the perfect view. A truly regal visit, well worth the stop.

We really enjoyed visiting Rosenborg Castle . it’s such a beautiful place, full of history and character. The rooms are packed with interesting details, from royal portraits to ornate furniture and glittering treasures. The crown jewels are especially impressive and definitely worth seeing. The castle grounds and gardens are lovely too.

Great place to enjoy late afternoon. Park outside of castle has great garden. Enjoy the garden and try to use subway or train transport in the afternoon to avoid getting stuck in traffic.

Visiting the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen was a memorable experience. The sculpture itself is smaller than I expected, but it’s beautifully placed by the water and has a certain quiet charm. The surroundings are peaceful, with lovely views across the harbor, and it’s a nice spot for a walk. Even though it can get a bit crowded with tourists, it still feels special to see such an iconic landmark in person. A must-visit if you’re exploring Copenhagen!

The Little Mermaid – A Symbol of Copenhagen We visited the famous Little Mermaid statue, and while the statue itself is quite small, it’s definitely worth the visit. Nestled along the waterfront, the surroundings are absolutely beautiful, offering peaceful views and a scenic walk leading up to the site. The walk itself is part of the experience – calm, relaxing, and filled with lovely views of the harbour. Do keep in mind that it’s a popular attraction, so it can get quite crowded. If you're hoping for a quieter moment, consider visiting early in the morning or later in the evening. A charming and iconic stop on any Copenhagen itinerary.

Copenhagen in the Spring is a nice, relatively quiet port with mostly the usual features of European / Scandinavian ports. The only unique attraction is The Little Mermaid statue, small but with it's own history of abductions, kidnapping and beheadings. If you're lucky your guide will give you the local story of the Little Mermaid which is more of a Danish Tragedy, so beware of little ears who are enchanted by the Disney version. It isn't magical but it's interesting lore. Here are a few other shots of the city as there are ample and better pictures of the Mermaid than I could get under the lighting conditions.

It's a little mermaid. Not much more than that. Be sure to visit the nearby fortress and church and windmill and fountain. Don't just come for the little mermaid. By the way... Great place for a run or walk around the fort and along the waterfront.

Small statue, big crowds. The place is super busy as there are organized tours to see the statue by land and water. I took public transport and walked along the nearby park and enjoyed spending time at the place as it's serene to just sit down at the benches and enjoy the views, further away from the crowds. It's a nice experience if you don't go there just for the statue. But the statue is nice to see in person.

A bit operated. Did not go very specifically to see this. When on another tour, the driver stopped here for a couple of minutes. The city so many more statues and sculptures which are much much more attractive. Example, when in the area, check out a sculpture near the National Museum/ opp Tivoli Garden entrance.

The Little Mermaid statue was definitely smaller than I expected, but I still found it charming. Sitting quietly on a rock by the water, she has a delicate, almost wistful look that really ties back to Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale. I also enjoyed the setting by the harbor and made it part of a nice walk that included Churchillparken and the nearby monuments.

Christiansborg Slot was one of the highlights of my Copenhagen visit. Walking through the grand halls and admiring the royal reception rooms and tapestries felt like stepping back into history. The ruins beneath the palace were fascinating, giving a glimpse of the city’s medieval past. I also loved visiting the tower—its panoramic views of Copenhagen were simply stunning. The mix of politics, royalty, and history in one place makes it a truly memorable stop.

I only had time to visit the royal reception rooms and the experience was already beyond my expectation. The Queen's Tapestries at the Knights' Hall were jaw-dropping. 1,100 years of Danish history were woven into 17 colourful tapestries. They were modern and educative. If I had more time, I would spend all day looking at them and try to learn the history/stories in each of them.

Christiansborg Palace is a historic palace in Copenhagen, Denmark, that now houses the country's three branches of government: the Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of State. Once a royal residence, it is open to the public and features attractions like the Royal Reception Rooms, the Royal Stables, and a viewing tower with panoramic city views. Visitors can also explore the underground ruins of earlier castles that stood on the site.

The grand, grandeur and wonderful castle in the heart of Copenhagen. What a splendid way the castle is decorated and preserved and still active. Such display of wealth is dazzling. They have visuals and videos of the historical aspect of the castle. Interesting to go through them and better for kids to enhance their knowledge.

Christiansborg Palace is a unique and fascinating destination in Copenhagen, blending royal splendor with the seat of modern democracy. It’s one of the only buildings in the world that houses all three branches of a country’s government — the Danish Parliament, Supreme Court, and Prime Minister’s Office — all within a former royal palace. That alone makes it worth visiting. Architecturally, Christiansborg is an imposing and elegant structure built in Neo-Baroque style with touches of Neo-Classicism, especially visible in its formal reception halls. The current palace is actually the third iteration — previous versions were destroyed by fire in 1794 and again in 1884. What you see today is the result of a rebuild completed in the early 20th century, blending old grandeur with modern sensibilities. The tall central tower is the highest in Copenhagen and offers free public access with panoramic city views. Inside, the Royal Reception Rooms are a highlight, especially the Great Hall with its striking modern tapestries depicting Danish history, designed by artist Bjørn Nørgaard. The Queen still uses these rooms for official state functions, adding a sense of living history to the experience. You can also explore the Royal Stables, the Royal Kitchen, and the underground ruins, where remnants of the medieval Bishop’s Castle and earlier palaces have been preserved. In short, Christiansborg may not have the romantic fairy-tale look of some other castles, but it offers something deeper — a powerful connection between Denmark’s royal past and its modern democracy. A rewarding and educational visit, especially for those interested in history, architecture, and politics.

We went up on the tower and it has a nice 360 view around the city of Copenhagen. We were lucky as there was not that crowded when we wanted to go in, so waited around 20 minutes. When we went down, there was huge line of people standing there which was a surprise. It is fine up there but definitely not worth waiting in the line for 1 hour or more.

Fun & Free: Ride up the Tower (Tårnet) for great city views. ​Animals: Visit the Royal Stables to see the horses. ​Adventure: Explore the underground Ruins of old castles. ​Visuals: See the massive, colorful Tapestries in the Great Hall. Children 0-17 years free entrance.

The museum takes you on a fascinating journey through different historical periods, guiding you from one age to another in a thoughtfully organized layout. From the outside, it appears rather modest in size, but once inside, it reveals a surprisingly vast and intricate space. I actually found it easy to lose my sense of direction there—not unpleasantly so, but in that way where every turn leads to another hidden room or unexpected display. The collection itself is impressive. Many ornaments, tools, fabrics, and even preserved human remains are remarkably well-maintained, offering a vivid glimpse into the past. The diversity of materials on display—ranging from everyday items to ceremonial artifacts—makes the experience rich and engaging for history enthusiasts. However, the space does show signs of wear. Some of the doors are noticeably old, creaky, and could use maintenance. The walls and ceilings in certain areas have peeling paint or water stains, which somewhat take away from the immersive atmosphere. A bit of renovation would go a long way in enhancing the visitor experience and doing justice to the fascinating collection housed within. The museum shop, while convenient, felt a bit underwhelming. The items were fairly standard and lacked the kind of creativity or uniqueness one might expect from such a distinctive museum. There's definitely room for more inspired and memorable souvenirs.

AMAZING place! We were blown away by the huge collection of ancient artifacts. This museum has an extensive collection of pieces that are in fantastic condition, or really well restored. We spent hours and did not even get to the Danish history section. There is an interesting multidimensional Viking exhibit that was "interesting". Worth the visit.

A great place to learn about history of Denmark. I was lucky to be there during the Viking Sorceress exhibition. It was super cool! The staff was friendly and helpful. A lot of runes and norse god souvenirs were available at the museum store, too.

Good big museum with multiple levels and buildings! Vast varieties of many contents and really interesting things to see! There is a little children playground in the middle of the complex but only for children and with an extra fees. (I saw a Viking set up with a guys dress in the Viking style but we can't go in as an adult 😞) The Doll House section was super impressive with the number and size of the room and a day and night alternative as well! Many cool facts and items to see and read through! You can easily spend a couple hours to just even walk through all the rooms! Definitely a very interesting place to visit in Copenhagen!

The National Museum of Denmark is an essential stop for anyone with an interest in Viking heritage, Norse mythology, or the broader story of Denmark’s past. The Viking exhibition is especially impressive — featuring original swords, rune stones, burial artifacts, and mythological pieces that truly evoke the spirit of the Norse world. The displays are thoughtful and immersive, making the history feel very much alive. The museum also offers an excellent overview of Denmark’s transformation from early tribal societies into a European maritime kingdom. The royal and military exhibits provide fascinating insights into diplomacy, warfare, and national identity through the centuries. One of the highlights for me was how seamlessly the museum combines archaeological discoveries with historical storytelling. It’s well-curated, deeply informative, and emotionally resonant — especially for those passionate about Nordic culture. A quick note for summer visitors: some galleries can feel extremely warm due to limited airflow in certain areas. It’s a good idea to bring water and wear lighter clothing if you’re visiting on a hot day. That said, the richness of the exhibits more than makes up for it. Highly recommended for history lovers and curious minds alike!

This museum provides an incredibly comprehensive overview of the history of Denmark. The scale of the exhibits is very extensive so it may be suggest to plan your visit carefully depending on your areas of interest. The upper floors of the museum have a great selection of exhibits about Danish history from the Early-Modern period of the 1600s to the modern day. There is also a fascinating permanent exhibition about the history and legacy of Denmark’s colonial empire and makes a significant effort to assess the positive and negative impacts of this colonial legacy across Africa, China, Greenland, Iceland, India, and the Danish West Indies (now the US Virgin Islands) using modern interviews and historical perspectives and first person accounts to enhance the exhibits on display.

Brilliant museum. We came at opening time on a Saturday and it wasnt too busy. It's for lots to see and I found the ancient danish stuff fascinating. The real highlight thouh is the interactive viking exhibition. There is a really good shop too!

I had the pleasure of visiting this magnificent palace, and it truly felt like stepping back in time into a world of royalty. The interiors are grand and beautifully preserved, with multiple sections showcasing how the royals once lived. From the opulent living quarters and lavish dining halls to the intricately designed courtyards, every corner tells a story of elegance and power. What stood out to me most was the attention to detail—exquisite furniture, ornate chandeliers, and priceless artifacts that reflect a royal lifestyle at its peak. The guided displays made it easy to understand the history and appreciate the traditions behind each room. Walking through the palace, I could almost imagine the grandeur of royal gatherings and ceremonies that once filled these halls. Overall, it’s a place where history and beauty come together perfectly. If you want to experience the charm of a royal lifestyle, this palace is a must-visit.

We came here with the intention of observing the Changing of the Guards. It starts at 12, so try to be there at 11:30 for a better stand spot. Because lots and lots of people come to see this. Bring hat and sunglasses during summer season. If you are interested in these come otherwise enjoy the castle. You have to buy tickets for the castle and check timing.

Visited Amalienborg Palace on a rainy Sunday 🇩🇰. It’s famous for the Changing of the Guard ceremony that starts sharp at 12 noon and lasts about 30 minutes ⏰. Even with the rain, the square was fully packed! If you want a front-row view, reach by 11:45. For us, it was an okay experience — interesting to watch just once.

Truely amazing.. i had visited Amelienborg palace with my family in the month of May.. just was spell bound by the beauty and architectural marvel of the same. The whole palace was worth watching again and again from each and every angle. As we had visited on a weekend there was really a big crowd which really added to the enrichment of the ambience.. We had planned to reach there to watch the famous change of guard event. It was so awesome.. even though it is something that happens on a daily basis but the accuracy and precision of the event is something to adore for.. From accessibility perspective we have the well established punlic transportation of Copenhagen.. A must watch if you are visiting Copenhagen..

Go at 11:30am to get a good view of the changing of the guard. They push everyone back behind the black lines of the quad closest to the brown doors/left of the entry pillars if you want a good view, but the guards do a march around the while Palace eventually. We also saw the marching band through the town which was cool!

how to enjoy the guards change parade at it's max 1. be at the square at 1130 - at this the police will start to clear the square 2. tourists are allowed to stand only in certain areas 3. take the position marked at the screenshot - this one is the best, since you will see the change and the guards will marsh along you enjoy :-)

The castle grounds are huge and grand. The museum part is very interesting but much smaller than expectation. Handheld guides are available for free.

Nice view from the top, you can also take a peek into the observatory up there. That's is also a shop with beautifully designed items (notebooks, post cards, posters, etc) that's adjacent to an art school exhibition. Plus you can take a look into the church's attic and learn about historic stuff

Totally worth the visit! It has a very cool architecture spiraling all the way to the top, ending with a rooftop deck, amazing views and also an observatory. It has some art installations inside too.

The round tower is a must see if you visit Copenhagen! It is Europe’s oldest observatory building and it offers breathtaking views of the city. There is an art gallery on one of the floors which has some interesting pieces

Great attraction right in the city center. The ticket costs around €8. The climb is easy, with very few steps, and the views from the top are beautiful — you can see the entire city from above. There’s also a small museum and a small art exhibition inside. I didn’t visit many attractions in Copenhagen, but I’m glad I visited this one.

Very interesting architecture. The ramp without strairs is amazing and beautiful. On the top, the view to the city center is amazing. Like it

This was kind of cool. You walk up this winding stone path to get to the top, and then you have a great view of the city. It is an observatory attached to the university of copenhan (i think). There is also a beautiful church to see.

So yes it's Copenhagen's Main tourist attraction, but it still offers plenty to justify the crowds and admission fee. The view is great, the ramp absorbs crowds, there are plenty of toilets, and some unexpected artefacts along the wall to the top. Even in a sunny Saturday with three cruise ships in town, the only area with some congestion was the top of the ramp. An automated traffic light system controls the flow of visitors through the narrow staircase which connects the ramp to the observation terrace.

We had such a great time exploring this botanical garden. What I love most is that the entrance is free if you don’t plan to go inside the glasshouse, which makes it very accessible for everyone to enjoy. The plant biodiversity is truly impressive — from peaceful water lilies and lush greenery to carefully designed rock gardens and shaded woodland paths. Every corner feels thoughtfully maintained, and you can really sense the effort to create an environment where both plants and wildlife thrive. The pond areas are full of life, with turtles, koi fish, and birds adding so much character to the place. I even spotted a magpie and a ladybird up close, which made the visit feel even more connected to nature. It’s not just a place to see plants, but a living, breathing ecosystem where you can slow down and appreciate biodiversity in action. If you’re tired of walking in the city and need a break, this is a great place to recharge. The walking paths are varied — some open and sunny, others shaded and tranquil. It feels like you’re moving through different little worlds within one garden. I especially enjoyed the mix of open views with the sky reflected in the water and more intimate trails lined with rocks and trees. Overall, this is a beautiful spot to spend a few hours, whether you’re here for a calm walk, photography, or just to reconnect with nature. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Just a beautifully scenic place right in the heart of Copenhagen and open to everyone with no entry fee. Lush greenery, roses blooming everywhere, and statues scattered throughout create a peaceful and charming atmosphere. People come here to relax, sunbathe, walk, or simply enjoy the surroundings. I visited in September, and the weather was perfect. You could easily spend the whole day there until it gets dark.

Copenhagen's Botanical Garden (Botanisk Have) is an absolute gem for anyone seeking a delightful and pretty stroll in the heart of the city. It's a truly restorative oasis, perfect for a leisurely walk amidst a stunning array of plant life. You can wander along charming pathways, discovering different themed sections like the rock gardens or the serene lake with its picturesque stone bridge.

A lovely botanical garden, filled with exotic plants and fun walks. The palm house was being renovated when we went, which was pretty cool to look at, they had a big mishmash of scaffolding and lights trying to keep the plants alive (not pictured, sorry). The signage to find your way around the construction wasn't fantastic, getting to glasshouse 2 wasn't as straightforward as it should have been. The rest of the glass houses are excellent, with a good level of information on what's going on there, much better than that silly Glyptotek. I would have liked more context, there were a few information panels that foreshadowed interesting facts, but didn't delve deeper. It felt like a place catering both extremes, people who want to look at pretty plants, and actually botanists, but it'd be nice if it had a bit more information throughout the entire garden for the people in between.. Shout out to the rock garden, of course, it's absolutely massive and got some cracking plants. Also, we went in October, with the season turning, the park section was begining to die back, still lots of nice things to see though. I'd definitely want to visit in summer. Long story short: lovely plants, give me more plant facts.

My visit to the Botanical Garden was one of the highlights of my 4 days in Copenhagen. The two (long ago man-made)mountains of hundres of species were amazing...I came back twice to walk through this beautiful assimilation/integration of plants.

The Botanical Garden in Copenhagen felt like a hidden pocket of peace right in the middle of the city. As soon as you step inside, you notice how calm and green it is, even though you’re still in the center. The paths wind beautifully through the garden, and you keep discovering new plants and flowers along the way. I really enjoyed just sitting on a bench for a while and taking it all in. It can get a bit busier on weekends, but the atmosphere stays relaxed. If you’re looking for a little escape from the city buzz, this is the perfect spot.

Absolutely lovely! One of the best Alpine gardens I’ve ever seen. There are over 1000 species of rhododendrons and the variety of flowers/plants is just incredible. If I want to compare, It’s much more impressive than the Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens. Incredible design and maintenance. Kudos!

The Church of Our Saviour is one of Copenhagen’s most famous landmarks and a must-visit if you enjoy history, architecture, and incredible city views. The church itself is beautiful, with a striking baroque interior, but the real highlight is climbing the tower. The spiral staircase on the outside of the spire takes you up high above the city, and the views from the top are absolutely stunning, stretching across Copenhagen and even out to Sweden on a clear day. The climb is steep and narrow in places, and the final stretch on the outside can feel a bit dizzying if you’re not great with heights, but the reward at the top is well worth the effort. It’s best to go on a clear day to really appreciate the panoramic view. The tower can get busy, so going early or outside peak hours makes the experience more enjoyable. Overall, the Church of Our Saviour is an unforgettable stop in Copenhagen. Whether for its history, its unique architecture, or the breathtaking views from the tower, it’s an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Absolutely breathtaking experience! The Church of Our Saviour is not only a beautiful piece of architecture, but also offers one of the very best views of Copenhagen. The spiral staircase up the tower is a little challenging, but that only makes reaching the top more rewarding. Standing outside on the winding staircase with the city right beneath your feet feels magical. You can see all of Copenhagen – from the canals and colorful houses to the modern skyline. Totally worth the climb, and a must-visit spot if you want a unique perspective of the city!

Beautiful place! Climbing to the top and amdiring views of the city is one of the nicest experiences in Copenhagen. Important note - there is not only a lot of stairs to the top, but in some moments it's narrow and steep stairs. So it's not so easy to get there, but really worth to visit.

Church of Our Saviour – Copenhagen A stunning baroque church with one of the best panoramic views in Copenhagen. The highlight is the climb to the top via a unique external spiral staircase—fun and adventurous, but not for the faint-hearted. With over 400 steps, it’s a bit of a workout, and the narrow, winding paths can be challenging for anyone with vertigo. Entry costs €8, and it's well worth it for the view alone.

Climbing up requires tickets. The views are awesome but not suitable for those w fear of heights. The stairs get narrow as you go higher. Good experience. Good views. Lots of climbing.

So, the most visited church in Copenhagen 😀. Yes, it is old and yet most of us came here to walk the stairs to the top 😀. 400 step. The first 300+ is inside , wooden and pretty steep. Then , you go outside and continue around the tower, climbing the external stairs. Its actually easier outside than inside until you get closer to the top where stairs become very narrow and finally closed for further trip. Great views ! Great adrenaline ! Book your slot to climb online in advance during holiday season. Aha, it will be closed when it rains so do not go if you see showers outside your windows.

I visited only the tower... What a view - just make sure you don't suffer from vertigo and can move agile... The view is spectacular but it's really narrow up there. You might wanna go for sunset. We didn't have wind when I was there but I assume once there is... It's not very hygge...

Beautiful museum! I absolutely love when museums are filled with statues and this one was filled with them! The building is stunning as well, with sort of an indoor garden by the entrance and big rooms filled with artwork. There’s also a rooftop which was a surprise and has a stunning view of Copenhagen. The reason why I’m not giving them more stars is because of how rude the staff were in the mummy section. There were two young boys (staff apparently) who kept whispering and talking to each other without caring there were people in the room. It completely ruined the vibe and I felt really uncomfortable. I understand it gets boring down there and you need to pass the time, but could you NOT talk when people are there? The amusement park is next door so you will probably hear some screams thought out the museum which was also creepy at times but inevitable. Overall I recommend it. I spent around 2/3 hours there and think I managed to see most of it. You can purchase the ticket online with the QR by the entrance and it’s cheaper. Video of the cute plushies! So expensive tho.

A must-visit museum in Copenhagen! The Glyptotek is absolutely stunning, a perfect blend of art, history, and architecture. The collection ranges from ancient sculptures to impressionist masterpieces, beautifully displayed in serene galleries. The central winter garden is breathtaking, and the overall atmosphere feels peaceful and inspiring. I could easily spend hours here. Truly one of Copenhagen’s cultural gems!

Glyptoteket is, hands down, the most beautiful museum in Copenhagen. The atmosphere inside is incredible – there’s really nothing else like it, especially when you walk through the Winter Garden. It’s such a peaceful and stunning space. The exhibitions are great too, especially if you’re into ancient Greek and Roman culture. That’s definitely my favourite part of the museum. I also really enjoy the Egyptian section, and it’s super cool to go downstairs and see the mummies. They do have other exhibitions with paintings, but that’s not really my thing, so I usually skip those. For me, it’s all about walking around and admiring the statues

I think this might be one of my favorite museums I have visited in my life so far. The statues were incredibly moving and beautiful, and the interior of the museum was breathtaking, every corner is designed with such attention to detail. The exhibitions are also very interesting, and I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone coming to Copenhagen. The museum also has a restaurant and bar where you can enjoy a drink or a snack, as well as a shop with unique items if you’d like to take something home. Plan at least 1 to 2 hours for your visit. Unfortunately, we only had 45 minutes since we arrived close to closing time, but it was still worth it!

This is one of my favorite museums in Denmark! The oasis next to the café is such a calming and aesthetically pleasing spot. The café itself isn’t anything special, but it’s worth sitting there just for the view. The exhibitions and statues are also very impressive and easy to explore. P.S.

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is one of Denmark’s most iconic art museums, founded by the Carlsberg brewery’s visionary creator. The museum houses thousands of rare and precious works — from Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome to 19th-century European masterpieces by renowned artists like Rodin, Degas, and Gauguin. A unique highlight is the Winter Garden, a stunning indoor oasis filled with lush greenery and natural light — the perfect place to pause and soak in the timeless atmosphere between the galleries. Good to know: Admission is free on the last Wednesday of each month, so don’t miss the chance to explore this world-class collection at no cost.

Beautiful museum with a wonderful indoor garden/courtyard, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, and an amazing Ancient Egypt exhibit with real mummies and art from 5,000 years ago. They also have interesting audio to listen to where you can put on headphones and listen to an expert describe more about the art. I listened to the one where an expert on hieroglyphs described what an ancient stele was describing. One of my favorite museums. Good to note if you want to go that buying tickets online is cheaper.

Combine your visit to the Little Mermaid with this Military Fort Visited on Thursday, 31st July 2025, after being dropped off to see the Little Mermaid Statue, I took the opportunity to visit this army barracks. Still an active army site, so the access was limited, but what you could see was wonderful and provided the opportunity to walk the moat mounds that surround the fort. Cycling isn't allowed, but it appears the site is not supervised.

I visited Kastellet in August and it quickly became one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. The fortress is beautifully preserved, with its colorful red and yellow buildings and the iconic Danish flag creating a picture-perfect setting. Walking along the star-shaped ramparts gave me great views of the city and the harbor, and I loved the calm, peaceful atmosphere despite being so close to the center. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy the history, and relax in the green surroundings. A wonderful spot that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Copenhagen!

The Citadel is far more than just a tourist attraction and it is fascinating to watch tourists, the Danish military and members of the public coexist in the sprawling complex. Young cadets man both the entrances to manage car traffic but you can otherwise see joggers, curious tourists and other pedestrians walk freely in and out enjoying the pleasant sights and 360 degree views. It is well worth a visit and spending around an hour to check out the inner fortification as well as the battlements, as it is effectively a living museum.

Kastellet in Copenhagen is one of those places that feels like a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but it turned out to be one of the most pleasant and memorable walks of my trip. The star-shaped fortress is beautifully preserved and surrounded by green spaces, canals, and well-maintained paths. Walking along the ramparts offers great views of both the city and the sea. It’s a great spot if you enjoy nature, history, or just a quiet stroll away from the busier tourist spots. The area is not only scenic but also full of charm — with red barracks, a picturesque windmill, and the lovely St. Alban’s Church nearby. Everything feels calm, clean, and safe. It’s hard to believe that a military site could feel this peaceful! I especially appreciated how locals use it as a jogging or walking route — it makes the place feel very alive and integrated into the community. It’s also free to enter, which is a bonus. If you're visiting Copenhagen and want a break from the usual attractions, Kastellet is definitely worth your time. It’s a perfect mix of history, beauty, and serenity.

Free entry and a beautiful view of the harbour of Copenhagen. There are lots of people running and walking. A quiet and peaceful area in the city.

This was a neat area we stumbled across after looking at the mermaid. I really enjoyed the windmill, and all the red buildings were really neat as well. No fees or entry cost to enter.

I was stunned by the care which had been taken for these old buildings and I loved dwelling over the old bastions... The windmill, the view, the cobblestones... They transfer you back in time. Simply recommended!

Very popular shopping street. You find all international brands. But very few local shops

A beautiful place, just watch out for the doctors and engineers lurking around.

The street was very pretty, but packed with tourists.

Great street for decent shopping

Must visit in Copenhagen! Iconic, beautiful and one of Copenhagens signature walking streets!

Awesome street, full of vibes and good people

Home to a variety of stores and eateries, this is Copenhagen’s main pedestrianised shopping street, stretching from City Hall Square to Kongens Nytorv where you’ll find the Royal Danish Theatre and the famous Nyhavn waterfront.

A place with a very positive vibe. Many street food stands from all over the world, plus drinks, teas, coffees, sweets etc. Freshly made food upon order requires a few minutes to wait for, in most popular places. Many places to sit so although it was Saturday we found a table (beer garden) without any trouble. All set in post industrial zone.

Absolutely loved this place. The wide variety of street food options and the nice atmosphere make this place really pleasant. There is also a central area where to chill with sand and a bonfire, perfect for summer nights.

Great variety and cozy outdoor vibes – just wish for more fire pits! Reffen is a great spot if you're looking to try different cuisines in one place – there's a huge variety of food from all over the world. The outdoor area has a really nice atmosphere, especially with the wood fire pits that keep you warm on colder days. We really liked that touch – it made the place feel super cozy. The only downside was that it was quite busy, and all the seats near the fire were taken, so we couldn’t find a warm spot to sit. I wish there were more fire pits or heated areas, especially during peak times. Otherwise, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back!

Got lucky with the weather and enjoyed a great day at Reffen sinking a few beers and eating some good food by the firepits. There's plenty of options for food and if the weather isn't playing ball there's a massive indoor area too. The staff are constantly buzzing around topping up the wood in the firepits and there's loads of comfy chairs dotted around. It's a cool place

Always tried something different. This time I tried the baos, they were really good. The Argentinian places are my to go. The view is breathtaking specially during the sunset. A special vibe and a nice plan during the weekdays or weekends.

Reffen Street food is a good walking from Copenhagen but it was definitely worth it! Most people probably go by bike but the walk wasn't that bad. The place is along the waterfront and feel like a little colorful town of street frood! It's probably very nice as well in the evening with all the lights.

This is a must visit while you’re in Copenhagen. There’s tons of different options for delicious street food and a beer garden. It all sits on the water with amazing views of the bay. There’s also a very large indoor space to sit, eat, and drink in case the weather isn’t that great. I had the Argentinean steak sandwich, a local brewery hazy IPA, and duck fat waffle fries smothered with cheese. It was all incredible and I highly recommend all of the above.

Very well planned area. It is quite good for explaining animals to children. Most of the animal areas are in good condition such as lion, kangaroos and panda. But the polar bear living area should be improved. We used Copenhagen Card for entry, and entered afternoon. So it is not crowded and fun to walk around.

Awesome zoo in huge area and beautiful landscape. This place has all the animals you can imagine of with engaging activities like goat patting, feeding the lions, kids makeup, great playgrounds and exhibitions. The restrooms are clean and all areas are very well maintained. There’re plenty of food kiosks or restaurants along the way and they all offer good foods. Highly recommended to spend at least half a day here to cover many sections like Savannah, rainforest and the poles. Make sure you wear comfy shoes.

Me and my children loved this zoo, it was clean, had so many animals and areas to visit we spent 4 hours here. Really easy to get the bus to and from. Lots of food and drink stalls if you wanted to eat there. Everywhere is so clean and tidy and there are loads of staff around if you want to ask where something is or about an animal etc..would definitely recommend this if you visit Copenhagen. Our visit was covered by the Discovery card that I purchased before we arrived.

A good day out with loads to look at. Spread across two sites the zoo had something for everyone. The animals appeared well looked after and you could view them inside or outside in many cases. Plenty of cafes which were reasonably priced. Used our Copenhagen card to get in so nothing to pay. Wrap up warm if going in colder climates.

Entry used by Copenhagen card. Best zoo experience so far, nice open enclosures to get close to lions, polar bears and pandas. Many fish seemed to be missing from the aquarium and signs/ notices to get around the park could of been more clear

Staff were very friendly Zoo was clean and the animals looked well looked after. Plenty of food and drink stands Very informative talks were given by the rangers about the different animals. We had a lovely day.

This zoo has some unusual animals.I really liked the flying foxes and the colorful frogs. The only downside is that the elephant enclosure seems a bit small, especially since there's more than one elephant.

Strøget is more than just shopping—it’s Copenhagen’s vibrant artery, blending centuries-old architecture with modern retail, cultural flair, and pedestrian-friendly design. A must-stroll, from casual window-shopping to luxury indulgence, everywhere you look there’s history and atmosphere waiting.

Stroget is a street where you can stroll around. Stroget sounds similar to Sreoll. Its a good place walk and shop without being disturbed by cars as its a vehicle-free zone located at the centre of the old city of Copenhagen.

This is the top 3 destination in Copenhagen. We were delighted with the offer and appearance. So much delicious food and restaurants of different cuisines. Perfect.

A fast trip through Strøget, and my daughter's first time. A very nice day and strøget is always impressive 🤗 although it's crouded 😅

Stroget is to Copenhagen what Oxford Street is to London or 5th Avenue is to New York. Stroeget is better because it is a pedestrian street so one can walk freely without any traffic tension. This entire street is full of cafes, bars and shopping stores. It is impossible for any tourist to visit Copenhagen and not come to Stroeget. One can sit in one of the cafe and spend hours just by people watching.

A very nice place to shop. A very extensive car-free zone with many shops and restaurants. The Copenhagen flagship LEGO store is here, as well as many places to get souvenirs. Close to downtown and the harbour. Nyhavn is very close and the hop on hop off bus has stops along the area. Some beautiful architecture and historical churches and buildings. There are many wonderful discoveries around each corner!

August 2022 • One of the more densely populated sections of the city and popular tourist destination. Lots of great shopping and cool sites...highly suggest taking a stroll down this street!

TorvehallerneKBH is a vibrant hub of Copenhagen’s food scene, combining the buzz of a modern food hall with the charm of a local market. Spread across indoor and outdoor areas, it offers endless culinary variety, from fresh produce and gourmet ingredients to artisan coffee, pastries, and global street food. There’s plenty of seating inside and out, making it a great place to linger and savour the atmosphere. It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, but the energy adds to its appeal. Think of it as a more bespoke version of a Time Out Market, lively, delicious, and absolutely worth a visit.

The Torvehallerne Market in Copenhagen is an absolute delight and a must-visit for food lovers. Located right in the city center, it offers a vibrant mix of fresh produce, gourmet specialties, and international street food, all under one roof. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, with stalls full of color, aromas, and flavors from around the world. You can find everything from freshly baked bread, pastries, and cheeses to seafood, spices, and beautifully prepared meals. It’s the perfect place to sample Danish delicacies as well as global cuisine, making every visit a culinary adventure. What makes Torvehallerne especially enjoyable is the quality — everything feels fresh, carefully selected, and full of flavor. The vendors are friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to share recommendations or let you try something new. It’s not just a market but also a social hub: locals shopping for ingredients, tourists tasting street food, and groups of friends enjoying drinks together. With its central location and wide variety, it’s the ideal stop whether you want a quick bite, a foodie experience, or just to soak in the lively atmosphere of Copenhagen. In short, Torvehallerne is a top highlight of the city — stylish, delicious, and unforgettable.

Plentiful market with a variety of different fresh foods and eats all in one area. It is very close to the Nørreport Station, making it really accessible and convenient. There are juice shops, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, and much more. You can come here for local shopping or to eat some really good food. This place has really good ice cream and juice as well! Highly recommend visiting.

Lively market with lots of great food options! • Ma Poule – I had the Pluma Rossini. The foie gras paired with pork was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! • Hallernes Smørrebrød – A great way to taste traditional Danish open-faced sandwiches. They offer different flavors, and I tried the smoked salmon and blue cheese. The presentation was beautiful and perfect for photos. • Hav – I tried their sashimi platter and oysters. Super fresh and tasty!

This was the standout attraction for us in our 4 day stay in Copenhagen, and we came here every morning for breakfast, stocked up on cheese and salads for lunch, dropped in for tea, coffee and pastries, and twice for dinner. There’s, a small, overpriced fruit and vegetable market between the two buildings, but the real stars here are the specialist stalls inside selling pastries, snacks, cheese and meats, fresh seafood, tea and coffee and just about anything else you can think of. It’s not the biggest food hall in Europe, so it’s easy to navigate, but every stall is a gem. A must visit, often, on any trip to Copenhagen.

TorvehallerneKBH is an amazing food market i the heart of Copenhagen! I visited looking for fresh stenbiderrogn (lumpfish roe), which is only available during the spring season. The vendors were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great tips on how to enjoy the roe. I bought fresh roe and made a traditional Danish dish at home: small pancakes with a dollop of sour cream, finely chopped onion, and fresh roe on top. It was absolutely delicious - delicate, creamy, and festive. Perfect spot for anyone looking for high-quality seafood and traditional Danish delicacies. Highly recommend!

Simply amazing selections of fresh everything. Definitely the place for foodies to hangout and have a drink as the afternoons are quite busy. Bring a basket and try something new or that you’ve never seen before 😋 stay hungry my friends

Also known as the Marble Church, is one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful landmarks and absolutely worth a visit. Its massive dome dominates the skyline and is one of the largest in Europe, making it a striking sight both up close and from a distance. The interior is equally impressive, with stunning architecture, serene atmosphere, and a sense of grandeur that feels both welcoming and awe-inspiring. Visitors can also climb up to the dome on certain days, which is a highlight for those who enjoy city views. From the top, you get a unique perspective over Copenhagen, including Amalienborg Palace and the harbor area. Entry to the church itself is free, which makes it an easy stop to fit into any city itinerary. It’s good to check ahead for opening times and whether dome access is available during your visit, as it’s not open every day. The church is active, so be mindful if a service is in session. Overall, Frederik’s Church is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, history, or simply enjoying one of the most iconic and peaceful spots in the city.

Just to the opposite of the Amalienborg castle, this church just matches up to it. The exterior of the mosque is so gigantic and massive looking that it still holds beauty and grandeur. Inside the church is very spacious and the dome makes it look even bigger. What an architectural marvel!

Frederik's Church (The Marble Church) is one of the most impressive landmarks in Copenhagen. Its massive dome and intricate interior design are truly mesmerizing. The peaceful atmosphere inside the church makes it a perfect place for reflection. A must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture. The surrounding area is also great for photos!

Frederik’s Church, also known as The Marble Church, is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Copenhagen. Its impressive dome, inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, is the largest church dome in Scandinavia. The foundation stone was laid in 1749 by King Frederik V, but due to financial difficulties the construction took more than 100 years and was finally completed in 1894. The church is free to enter, and the interior is just as breathtaking as the outside, with stunning marble details and a peaceful atmosphere. If you have the chance, climb up to the dome for an amazing panoramic view of the city. A must-visit if you are in Copenhagen!

The Fredrik Church is simply beautiful,. The architecture is stunning, with its striking baroque design and intricate details that immediately catch your eye. The atmosphere inside is calm, peaceful, and almost timeless, making it a perfect place to pause and reflect. The church stands proudly in the heart of Karlskrona and adds so much character to the square around it.

Stunning building, but better to visit when it's less busy Visited on Thursday, 31st July 2025, having been dropped off at the Kongens Nytorv square, we walked to Frederik's Church. Outside, it's a stunning-looking building, and the dome is so disproportionately large that it reminded me of St Paul's or St Peter's domes in London and Rome, but without the building under them. There was a queue to enter, which wasn't organised and was quite dangerous, especially as it was also the only way out. There were more entrance doors available on the other side. Once inside, the dome is spectacular, and you can see why it's so popular for weddings, but a bit like a lot of famous churches, it doesn't feel very holy or peaceful.

A simple church with a spectacular dome, free to enter and well worth taking a look. However I didn't find much that held my interest apart from the dome.

Interesting collection, the pattern exhibition for sure isn’t for everyone. The last piece of exhibition, the evolution of danish design is beautiful, interesting and the chairs are extremely comfortable. You can for sure inspire yourself to design your own space. The cafe and inner garden are free to enter and amazing too.

Nice collection of tapestries, furniture and all things design. I likes that they incorporated many hands on activities through both for adults and children. Entrance fee is a bit high in comparison to other museums and the size of the collection

From the very beginning, it feels like this design museum isn't well presenting things. Yes, objects are displayed and you can look at them (and read a small description) however I was expecting to have more explanation why this design has been chosen by the artist and from where it came from (what was the inspiration, what this specific item inspired other items) etc. This is my experience from other design museums - much more details regards the background of the object at which I'm looking at. An example of miss opportunity is a hall with chairs: really interesting but at the same time too many items, not much description and me, as a visitor, looking at them without any additional context. I have seen many chairs which I was interested however there wasn't much information about them. It ended up "just" as a hall with chairs. Too much but at the same time too little. Same thing with rooms with objects from 60-70s and 90s Rooms with 60-70s: why those objects have been there? Why that design looks in this way? What was the inspiration? You will not get it from this museum. I was expecting something much more interesting and inspiring but so far that design museum was the worst one which I ever seen.

What a fantastic way to learn about the history of Danish Design and the birth of the movement called ‘mid century modern’. Close to a Metro station, and easy to get to, Designmuseum Denmark is a riot of sight and sound. No matter your interest - furniture, consumer goods, architecture, fabrics - and more - something for everyone here! The temporary exhibits are well executed also. Throughout the museum, there are places to listen to audio through your devices (bring ear buds, or headphones). The café offers well prepared, good tasting meals, so you do not have to leave hungry. The library is open for all, and has books on all aspects of the world of design - the gardens offer quiet contemplation, perhaps with a book purchased from the well-stocked gift store. A very satisfying time, no matter your interest!

Well worth a visit. Is it obvious to say that the design museum is tastefully designed? Truly such a fun tour through Danish and world design aesthetic history. Interesting collections (don't miss the room with 1000s of Samurai sword decorations) and just the right amount of reading information to complement the pieces.

Nice exhibition and interesting details could be found in this museum. You can also buy souveniers and enjoy the well maintained garden area behind the museum. Tickets could be cheaper. I recommend you to visit this place if you are nearby.

Really cool museum in Copenhagen that I recommend visiting! There are a lot of cool exhibits and many interesting facts you can learn. We spent about an hour there, and it was fun to see the elements of design unique to Denmark. I do recommend the flow of the museum to be a bit better because I kept second guessing whether I had missed an exhibition or not. Nevertheless, I recommend stopping here to visit!

We thought this was an amazing visit for those that enjoy architecture and sustainability and also functional buildings. CopenHill has it all. The city of Copenhagen has amazing planed spaces that integrates people into unexpected activities like ski in a very flat city. The “hill” is a trash processing plant and they have build amazingly a ski slope on top of that that allows skiers and mountain birders to ride down. Pretty amazing. We visited in August and summer time so no ski happening but a few people snowboarding on the plastic slippery carpet that allows you to use the slope during summer. If you are not into that you can still climb the 80+ meter of height to have a cold beer or refreshment in the roof top bar that offers good drinks. Cold beer with a view!

The building is a perfect blend of modern architeture achievements, sustainability technology advancements and panoramic view between the land and the sea. The ski track on the rooftop makes this place a great city attraction and looks surreal. I'd recommend to climb to the top on foot insted of elevator.

This destination is very unique. I visited it on a Sunday and entrance is free. Just go towards the lift area to go to the rooftop where you can have drinks overseeing the beautiful Copenhagen skyline. Go for a walk around the Copenhill rooftop.

I didn’t ski but the views are spectacular. Take the lift up and walk back down for the best experience. From the lift you can see the inside of the rubbish plant. The cafe is well worth a stop too. Great place.

A very unusual tourist spot - it's a recycling incinerator - but has a dry ski slope going down the side, a climbing wall and hiking trail. Lift to the top and amazing views. The café at the top was below average for this city.

This is a great spot where you can take the city in for free, as in not pay to get up. We don’t ski the hill, only had a pint while there and took in the view and a little bit of education about Copenhagen’s efforts to reduce trash and emissions. Expert note - bike there! Way cheaper than cabs and the roads are great and not too congested. It’s also close to Reffen for a wide variety of food. But only open on weekends in the offseason.

It’s a power plant which has free enter to its rooftop (you can go on foot by stairs or take elevator, also free). And there is a magnificent view from the roof. In a good weather you can even see Malmo and the bridge between Sweden and Denmark.

Nyhavn is an absolutely charming place to visit, and one of the highlights of our trip to Copenhagen. With its colorful row houses lining the canal, it truly feels like stepping into a postcard. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxing, making it a wonderful spot to simply stroll and take in the views. The waterfront is lined with plenty of restaurants and cafés, perfect for enjoying a meal or drink while people-watching and soaking up the vibrant surroundings. On sunny days, the place comes alive with energy, and the reflections on the canal make it especially picturesque. If you’re planning to take a canal or river cruise, be mindful of the schedules. Delays of 15–30 minutes are not uncommon, so it’s best to check the timing in advance to avoid waiting around. Nyhavn is also very family-friendly, with open spaces for walking, calm corners for resting, and food options to suit all tastes. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or with children, it’s a place everyone can enjoy. Overall, we had a fantastic experience here. Between the stunning views, the welcoming atmosphere, and the abundance of dining options, Nyhavn is a must-visit in Copenhagen. We’d definitely recommend adding it to your itinerary!!

At night, I enjoyed a beautiful night view along with dinner and many other travelers. In the early morning, I went for a run and quietly admired the serene Danish sunrise. It’s a place where you can truly experience the happiness that travel brings, one hundred percent.

Forget the Little Mermaid and Tivoli Gardens, this is the single best thing to see in Copenhagen. The colourful buildings, the boats, the water, it’s all here in an easily visited compact area. Even on a sunny Sunday in September with the crowds out, it never felt too busy, and there were plenty of spots for great pictures. There are heaps of places to eat and have a drink, though none are particularly special, and boats leave from here to tour the canals. The main area is mercifully bike free so you can walk around without getting smashed if you step the wrong way.

Beautiful landmark in Copenhagen, Denmark, famous for its lines of colorful buildings wonderfully reflected in the canal. It’s packed with visitors walking around the area to catch its wonderful ambience, enjoy the cafes and restaurants along the canal, have a cruise and also shops for souvenirs. There’s a walking path as well so it’s ♿️✅ accessible and disability friendly. Parking might be tricky in the surrounding

Nyhavn is the heart and soul of Copenhagen — colorful, lively, and full of charm. The row of brightly painted buildings along the canal looks like something out of a postcard, and the atmosphere is pure magic, whether you visit in the morning light or at sunset. It’s the perfect place for a stroll, a coffee by the water, or a meal at one of the many cozy restaurants and cafés. Street musicians, boats gliding by, and the cheerful energy of locals and travelers make it an experience that feels both vibrant and relaxing. Even if it’s one of the most popular spots in the city, Nyhavn never loses its authenticity or warmth. It’s a must-see landmark that captures the essence of Copenhagen — beautiful, historic, and effortlessly welcoming.

Very pretty, even on a rainy day. Love the many colors of the buildings and it has a cozy feel with the lights strung up at this time of year. Didn’t have a chance to eat at one of the many establishments but looks like a great experience dining along the canal. Quite beautiful!

We had a lovely time on this iconic spot. Found excellent food, and good coffee. Can't have a double rainbow without a little rain.

A wonderful historic place, with amazing events. There is a garderobe and a bar to get snacks and drinks. The inside aquarium is a huge attraction for children and seniors equally. When buying the tickets it's recommended to avoid the top balcony because few building polls are positioned straight in the middle and minimise the view. It will be nice if Tivoli administration will add a remark about this on their website to be known when people buy their tickets online.

I enjoy the venue more for the location and the excellent shows put in there, than for the facilities themselves. Positives: -The lobby is amazing, owing to the gigantic reef aquarium! You never get bored waiting before shows or during intermission. -Plentiful, clean bathrooms. Negatives: -Leg room on the balcony. Haven't experienced this problem so much when seated on the floor rows.

Beautifully decorated for Halloween. I see they put in a lot of effort for this. Really felt the Halloween vibes. However, it's too expensive. There is entrance fee close to 200dkk, and you need to buy the ride ticket to even ride. Sorry, for broke student like me, I don't have any cash reserves to spend here. But if you are wealthy, and have worked your life off to give your kids a good experience, sure.

An old-school music hall with a Lot of wood, decoration and atmosphere. The chairs are much more comfirtable as they look. Good lively sound. The bonus ist the gigantic aquarium at the entrance. Love it.

Very nice! The seats are also very comfortable.

Fantastic place. It was great they chose it for the conference I attended however, unfortunately the games were all on hold while Tivoli garden was under huge preparations for the Halloween. There are many restaurants and coffee shops inside yet most were closed during the time I visited. The lecture halls were very clean, convenient seats and its size was quite appropriate. Bathrooms were clean and good except for insufficient tissues and trash cans. Tivli is in the city of Copenhagen and the whole place around it was full of shops, cafes and restaurents along with variety of available transportation services

Great place for entertainment. They show ballet (I saw The Snow Queen) classic music concerts and lots of other things. And the ticket to the show gives you entry into the beautiful park, which at night is usually decorated with beautiful lights.

Very impressive and beautiful building. It has its old parts. The old elevator was particularly interesting

This is sooo cool building! All the time, we expected that we would meet students with togas and broomsticks. Total Harry Potter vibe. And you can enter so many spaces. That was one of the highlights of our trip.

One of my favorite places to photograph weddings in Copenhagen. The building has a real sense of grandeur, especially the main hall and the staircase — it gives a classic, elegant feel to the photos. In the warmer months, the garden is a great bonus. There’s a lovely fountain and quiet corners that work beautifully for portraits or just a quick breather for the couple. Also, if you’re interested in the history of the place, they offer free guided tours, which is a nice touch.

One of those few city halls that lets tourists explore evey corner of the building! We had such a good time.

Copenhagen City Hall is a magnificent architectural landmark and a must-visit for anyone interested in history, design, or civic culture. Situated right in the heart of the city, this imposing building stands as a proud symbol of Danish municipal heritage and architectural grandeur. The City Hall is designed in the National Romantic style, heavily influenced by the Italian Renaissance but also rooted in Nordic tradition. Completed in 1905 by architect Martin Nyrop, the building features a distinctive red-brick façade, arched windows, golden accents, and a beautiful gilded statue of Absalon — the legendary founder of Copenhagen — above the main entrance. One of the most impressive features is the tower, soaring 105 meters high — one of the tallest in Copenhagen — and offering sweeping views of the city (when open to visitors). The intricate details of the interior are equally stunning, especially the grand atrium with its arched colonnades, marble floors, and Danish coats of arms. Visitors can also admire the famous Jens Olsen’s World Clock, a marvel of mechanical engineering and astronomical precision that draws enthusiasts from around the world. Even if you don't take a tour, the exterior alone is well worth admiring. The building fits beautifully into the historic cityscape, standing proudly on Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square), where locals gather for public celebrations, events, and even political rallies.

It’s right in the city centre and free to check out. Pretty cool place—lots of people do wedding photo shoots there. The library was nice, but the real highlight for me was the clock on the ground floor. Don’t miss it. It was made by Jens Olsen and it’s not just a regular clock. It shows time, solar and lunar eclipses, positions of the planets, and has a perpetual calendar—kind of like the ancient Antikythera mechanism. The whole thing has over 15,000 parts. One gear turns every 10 seconds, and the slowest one only once every 25,753 years. And it only needs to be wound once a week. Crazy engineering.

We were on a long cruise thru the Baltic Sea and one of the stops was Copenhagen. It is a great city and very walkable. We self guided our all day tour using google maps and my research. We were able to see most of the historic sites as well as the tourist area by the water. We arrived in the vast open area in front of the City Hall. It is a beautiful and massive building. Built in 1905 I think.

A quite hidden gem in the Copenhagen arts scene. This museum shows a vast collection of islamic and oriental art pieces in a former private residence. Intimate, mysterious and free to visit.

Visited the islamic arts part of the collection, biggest islamic art collection in europe they say and the amount of pieces were REALLY impressive but most pieces were stacked on top of another so i've had the pull the drawers to be able to see all those pieces manually with my hand to be able to see them so that was quite a challenge for me to see all the miniature, textile and calligraphy pieces and especially at those areas lightning was terrible aswell and i've had hard time to be able to see the details which were important for those pieces of art especially, it's quite sad how important pieces of history for the whole world is in the hands of those who don't really care about neither the history nor the art itself but most probably holding those pieces for their values or their status and lastly all the descriptions only the exception of some brief history ones were in danish which everyone interested in this exhibition probably know the danish language i guess? only some of the brief history parts were in english and they were written from a western perspective and didn't seem to clash with the pieces of art that is being showed there imo so overall it was good to see all these pieces of history but they were the only thing that was good about this museum. -small venue -bad lightning -danish descriptions -great pieces of art and history those pieces deserve a better place, couldn't really understand how they got here in the first place.

The collection of Eastern art is extremely extensive and interesting, divided by country of origin. Going through the museum you feel like you are winding your way through streets and allies. There you can find everything from plates through jewelry to tiles and gobelins. The lower collection of European art isn’t something as spectacular as the eastern one, but the exhibitions shown for a time vere excellent too. Even tho the building itself was changed to an art gallery from a normal house, where David resided it’s totally accessible with elevators.

Impressive collection in a cosy apartment. The temporary exhibition on Qatar Bedouin life in the 1950s was very insightful.

Interesting museum with lots to see and free entry. 4 floors containing exhibitions of Islamic art, as well an exhibit on the bedouins of Qatar.

A very interesting collection! It's really worth visiting! For me it was especially interesting because I am from Central Asia.

Best Islamic art, very good painting and it is free to visit.

This is a wonderful library but not necessarily an attraction site. It is mostly for researchers use. The grand view is fine but limited at you can see it in the photos

The Copenhagen Library is a stunning example of how design can transform a public space. The architecture is sleek, modern, and filled with natural light that floods through large windows, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Clean lines, open spaces, and thoughtful details make it not just functional but genuinely beautiful. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel inspired — whether you’re there to read, study, or simply take in the design. The balance of modern aesthetics with cozy, practical spaces makes it one of the coolest libraries I’ve ever visited. A true highlight of the city for architecture and design lovers.

Lovely building with cool melding of old and new architecture. The space is air conditioned making it a nice break from any weather outside. Free to enter and wander around with dedicated spaces for those actually wanting to read or study.

The Royal Library Black Diamond is one of the most surreal and inspiring places I’ve ever been. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for studying – calm, bright, and so unique that you actually feel like you could sit here and study forever. The architecture is stunning both inside and out, with an amazing mix of modern design and peaceful views of the water. There’s also a cozy café with great options if you need a break, and the toilets are spotless, which makes a huge difference for long study sessions. Everything here feels so well thought-out, from the layout to the light. Honestly, it’s the best study environment I’ve found anywhere in the world.

The Black Diamond (Royal Danish Library) is a stunning blend of modern architecture and cultural heritage. Completed in 1999, its sleek black granite façade reflects Copenhagen's harbor, while the interior boasts a luminous atrium, Per Kirkeby's grand fresco, and panoramic views. Open daily with free admission, it offers exhibitions, concerts, and a café. A must-visit for architecture enthusiasts and culture seekers.

Its a great place to see how the old (library) was joined with a new Black Diamond. Great example of Danish hygge design. And good coffee too 😀.

Entry is free; must visit its garden and panorama floor. The iconic reading room requires ticket…

Yes, the sculpture is cool—but the real star of Thorvaldsens Museum is the building itself. The architecture and interior finishes are absolutely stunning. From the bold, unexpected paint colors to the intricate mosaic floors and rich murals, every detail feels intentional and iconic. It’s a visual feast and genuinely inspiring. I was also unexpectedly impressed by the permanent archaeological collections—especially the cameo collection, which is the most diverse and beautiful I’ve ever seen. Not just classical portraits of women, but also plants, animals, insects, and a range of stone and shell materials. It’s a thoughtful and unique display that goes beyond the expected. A beautiful way to spend 1–2 hours—and even better, Wednesdays are free!

I had longed to see the works of Thorvaldsen and the museum building itself is a masterpiece. I spent two hours and I think it's right. So unfortunate that in the app of the museum and behind the QR codes there were only Danish comments. At least the three I tried, after that I gave up. That would be a lot better to have the works' explanations also in English. Other than that I really enjoyed the stay!

Very nice museum, a bit unexpected on the visual section where they mixed the old statues with colorful, artistic video and you have to enjoy that with the audio that they provided for free. One of the best museums in my trip to Copenhagen.

Quite big museum, might take around 1-2 hours to see all while enjoying the art without rushing. Kind staff, not only sculptures, but also paintings and some interesting exhibitions. Wasn't on my list, but don't regret going there 🫡

Wonderful museum with a lot of amazing sculptures and paintings! Find all the cute dogs in all the old paintings, there's a lot of them! Free (within 48 hrs) if you go to the Nikolaj Kunsthal and/or Museum of Copenhagen! If you need to purchase tickets at the counter, there was no wait. Time well spent!

Thorvaldsen left his entire life's work > and his personal collection of paintings and antiquities > to Copenhagen on one condition: that a museum would be built in his honor > nice move )

Free admission on Wednesdays. Good architecture and sculptures. They also blend in temporary exhibition among their permanent collection.

AMAZING This was my first ever concert, so I could be biased. I went to see Imagine Dragons and I very much enjoyed my visit. Leaving however was awful, no order at all. We all left at the same time, so there was delays and crowds of hundreds of people. Took an hour just to get round the corner 🤣 but ah well. Well worth it. Sorry im advance for my terrible singing voice in these videos 🤣

Great place to hang out on a sunny day, plenty of food and drinks to choose from and many other activities in the area like climbing. Best to bike there but you can also reach it by bus or the nea electric scooters

Great concert and sound, but the exit was a nightmare – poor traffic flow and no separation between cars and pedestrians.

An interesting place with some creative enterprises that are located all around the area. I went there for a field trip with the University so I came across some enterprises that I didn't know that even exist. The place is really interesting to explore.

Imagine Dragons concert was great in this venue but to get into was so unorganized, leaving the venue was madness, no clear instructions of where to get the bus, no sign of extra buses, when we did get a bus it was so jammed it was hot, it took an hour to get to Christianshavn station , there were cars, buses , taxis and hordes of people trying to get out. I would not recommend it as a concert venue

Absolutely worth it going to Refshaleøen’s street food market during a sunny day. I went on Saturday during the summer and the experience couldn’t be better. Remember to bring your swimming shorts / gear because swimming in the sea is also a great thing to do there. Food is delicious and you have many many options to choose from. Beer tents are also plenty and you can definitely find your type.There is also live music and many chairs and space to sit a enjoy the view. To get to Refshaleøen one must either bike or get on a bus. Either way its only a 10-15 minutes from downtown Copenhagen. A Must if you have more than 2 days in the city.

I love this place, now they have references street food, previously on the paper island, it's a gorgeous place just outside the city and one of the best kept secrets of Copenhagen. You should also check out la banchina.

We took the 1 hour canal tour while on a visit to København. We did not have to wait for more than 5 minutes for purchasing the tour tickets. The boat was large with an open top. There was a lady guide announcing the details of the ride It was a smooth ride and we could see some beautiful buildings around the quay.She explained some parts with their historical background.There were several low-height bridges ( more like Venice or Amsterdam).This part of the city had lots of tourists, mostly youngsters and some couples with kids.Fortunately it was a bright sunny day with small patches of clouds passing by.

Not exactly a bargain, but still very good experience if you want to take in some of Copenhagen and get a feel for it from the water side. If you want to do the city, the hop on hop-off bus probably provides a similar experience, but the water-borne experience is a lot more intimate. It's a couple of hours till that takes you around through the inner Port and and the little area that looks a lot like Amsterdam, but at a much slower Pace than the import, which allows you to take in the ambience and all the sights of the area.

This tour was the best, we booked online and it was super easy. We turned up on time and were on the boat immediately. The tour guide was so knowledgeable about the whole area and could answer any question. There are a lot of low bridges on the tour so make sure.you.sit down when instructed! It is a great introduction to the fantastic city of Copenhagen and will help you decide where to go and what to see on your trip whether long or short.. enjoy!😁

A super fun way to see parts of Copenhagen! On a nice day, there’s a slight breeze and those sunny rays feel good! It’s a little chaotic purchasing riches because the boarding lines, the ticket lines, and the prepaid ticket people are all in the same area. Lines crisscrossing. It sends like it could be very easy door someone to cut in line, but they seem to think it works for them, so ok. The ride is about 45 minutes to an hour. It really helps having a lively guide because to be honest, there’s not that much to see, at least not up close. But there are clever looking buildings, like the one that looks like Tobeleron. There are nearby floating bars and restaurants. And there’s even a binge humbling place across the waterway. You get to see the little mermaid statue… but only from the backside!!!

Absolutely fabulous! We learned so much about Denmark, royalty, the arts, religion, and the kissing bridge. Crazy how the bridges are so so low and the boats soar underneath them. Even with a bit of wind and choppy water the ride was smooth. The tour guide shared all sorts of interesting facts and stories that I will not repeat here, but know that there’s so much intrigue and history, and hearing about it while boating was ideal. Check it out. Don’t worry about the kraken, it’s tame.

I know it's a very touristy thing to do, but the Canal tour is definitely worth it! It's a very good activity when you get in Copenhagen and want to get situated in the city. It's actually not that expensive and you have a good hour ish on the boat and enjoying the beautiful view and building. Absolutely a most do!

Strømma Canal Tours in Copenhagen is a delightful way to see the city from the water. The canals are charming, and you glide past colorful buildings, historic harbors, and cozy waterfront cafés. While Copenhagen's canals are smaller and calmer than Venice, the experience still feels magical - peaceful, scenic, and perfect for photos. Great commentary on landmarks and history, and the boats are comfortable. A must-do for visitors who enjoy exploring a city by water!

An interesting area of Copenhagen to have a look at the housing architecture. The houses were all built for military personnel. The jewel in the crown is the folk museum that opens on Sundays between 11am and 2pm. Run by very knowledgeable volunteers it shows what like was like for people in the navy years ago. Very cheap to visit and an absolute must if you like social history.

This is well worth a swing past. There are old naval accommodations district. Now private houses they are very pretty in the conformed yellow rows. Easy to find and get to. Make the effort.

it's fine to drop by when roaming around - yellowish old rowhouses with past time atmosphere, still used for living. there are several streets ot these, at the time of our visit the main one with church was under reconstruction.

Just fell In love with this place and its History. A walk here is not necessary if you visit the city, but recommended by me, as it keeps good old vibes…

Nyboder (English: New [small] Houses) is a historic row house district of former Naval barracks in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was planned and first built by Christian IV to accommodate a need for housing for the personnel of the rapidly growing Royal Danish Navy and their families during that time. While the area is still commonly associated with the name of its founder as one of his numerous building projects around Copenhagen, the Nyboder seen today was in fact, except for a single row of houses in Sankt Pauls Gade, built from 1757.

What a beautiful and enigmatic neighbourhood. A must see.

Lovely and quiet place to visit and have a walk round the rows of historic yellow houses. Nyboder is a district which was planned and first built by Christian IV to accommodate a need for housing for the personnel of the Royal Danish Navy and their families. The buildings were completed in 1795.

What a magnificent aquarium! We had tickets for a Saturday morning admissions, and the gates opens for us right at 10:00. although one might think it would be busier on a weekend, there wasn’t a wait at all and the aquarium never felt overrun. The „story teller“ Ida did such a great jobs connecting facts about the animals with the history of the aquarium. And Ida always made sure to repeat everything she said in Danish to English. We were fortunate enough to witness both the feeding of the sting rays and the a feeding of the big ocean aquarium. We had a lovely lunch (you can bring your own food and drinks) outside right by the shore and enjoyed sitting in the warm sun watching planes come into the airport. There is a water playground outside for the little ones. There are many hands on exhibits, and all the tanks had touch screen information available in multiple languages. We had a very good time at this aquarium, spent about 3h (lunch included) there, but never felt rushed or crowded.

Amazing experience! The aquarium is beautifully designed and full of fascinating marine life. The tunnels with sharks and rays are stunning, and everything is very well maintained. Great for families, couples, or anyone who loves the ocean. Definitely worth a visit!

We visited here whilst in Copenhagen for the October half term, originally when I booked the trip the aquarium was included on the discovery card but then it got taken off so I had to pay separately. For 3 of us (an adult, a teen and a child) it cost £65. The aquarium is really big, has quite a bit to see, alot of information dotted around about the species etc... really easy to get to by bus which took us about 35 mins. If you aren't a fan of eating fish or danish style food id suggest bringing lunch with you or eat after you've visited. The only negative I have is the guy doing the feeding talk on the day we went barely translated anything into English, so we had no clue what fish were eating, who was fed first and ended up leaving the session because we had no clue what he was saying. He even asked who understood him and more than half of the group raised their hand but still didn't translate. The rest of the staff were all polite and friendly.

Wonderful place to visit in Copenhagen , different water animals, green house for plants , butterflies and birds with small waterfall. Can experience touching different fishes. Close to bus stop. Nice cafe area both indoor and outdoor, one shouldn’t miss the view of water outside the cafe and play space for kids. Highly recommend to buy ticket in advance as it could be sold out and might not get the ticket for quick entry , so to avoid the wait, it’s best to get ticket in advance. It’s small but well managed , but over crowded.

Great aquarium, a lot of fun activities! We got a chance to watch the fish in the big tank from above with explanations about the feeding habits. All in all, probably the best aquarium we've visited so far. Online tickets are cheaper.

A must-see in Copenhagen if you enjoy marine life. The building’s design is stunning, and the variety of exhibits—from tropical coral reefs to the ocean tank—keeps you engaged throughout. Highlights include the underwater tunnel and the playful otters. The educational displays are clear and engaging, and the staff are friendly and helpful. That said, the ticket price feels a bit high, and some areas can get crowded, especially on weekends, which makes it harder to enjoy at your own pace. Still, it’s a memorable and unique experience that’s well worth a visit.

Good informational displays in multiple languages. Well kept animals. The shark tunnel is mesmerizing. The ancient fish and aquatic dinosaur display was a nice surprise. Some of the tanks in the first freshwater section were very dark, so it was hard to see the fish. I liked the outdoor terrarium display and the south American freshwater fish.

We booked the guided tour of the Opera House, and it was well worth it. Our guide was excellent — full of insightful commentary, tasteful humor, and fascinating royal anecdotes. As an architecture student, I found the visit particularly enriching — not only for its perspective on Danish architecture, but also for its glimpse into the unique spatial logic of opera houses. I would have loved to see the main hall from the stage perspective, but it was understandable — the scenography team was busy preparing for the next performance. A memorable and thoughtful tour overall.

Architecturally stunning both inside and out, this place has several theatres in one. In fact the backstage is larger than the stage so it can provide space for several performances to occur simultaneously. We had seats near the back in the orchestra section for the ballet, The Great Gatsby. It was a fabulous performance with good acoustics. Pro tip: get there early enough for the behind the scenes tour.

Beautiful place. Went to 4th floor and the restaurant. Can defently recommend. View 12/10.

It’s always a memorable experience to visit the Royal Opera for opera, ballet or other performances or events, sound, lights and stagecrafting is top notch. Further the supreme location along the Copenhagen waterfront allows for wonderful sunset views of the Royal Palace, especially from the viewing platform at the top level. The cafe next opera house above the underground parking structure is also a nice bookend to an evening spent at the royal opera. 10/10

Stunning architecture beaten only by the performance of Tosca the staging was sublime. Recommend a visit.

A beautiful theater, though it doesn’t quite compare to the iconic Sydney Opera House—also the work of a Danish architect. A fun little Easter egg here: the tiles produce different sounds when tapped, almost like playing a xylophone

Lovely modern opera house right on dockside in Copenhagen. Not a great deal else to see but canal and old warehouses very nice

I really enjoyed my visit to SMK, especially the impressive collection of classic art. The Danish Golden Age section was a true highlight for me — the works by Eckersberg, Købke, and other 19th-century masters beautifully capture both the mood and light of the time. It’s a must-see if you appreciate finely detailed, skillful painting rooted in tradition and national identity. However, I have to be honest: the upper floor, which houses a lot of modern and contemporary art, wasn’t my cup of tea. Some of it felt extremely bizarre. Much of it felt overly abstract and strange, and didn’t resonate with me at all. Still, that’s a matter of personal taste — if you're a fan of experimental modern pieces, you may feel differently, I presume. Overall, a wonderful museum for classical art lovers, especially if you want to dive into Denmark’s rich artistic heritage. Just be prepared for a very different vibe upstairs (to say the least)!

So many eras and collections of artworks to see here! I spent about 1.75 hours here but it wasn’t even at a slow pace. There is just so much to see here, from famous artists like Rembrandt and Matisse, to Danish classics like Wilhelm Freddie. It is all so unique and I learned a lot about Danish’s art history from walking through this gallery. I highly recommend coming here during your stay in Copenhagen!

As a travel expert, I can confidently say that the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) is a truly captivating destination. The architecture itself is a magnificent blend of historic elegance and modern design. Inside, it masterfully curates Denmark's rich art history, from the Golden Age to contemporary works, offering a deep and beautiful look into the nation's cultural evolution. A must-visit for any art lover!

Amazing! I was there for the K7 week and it was definitely worth the visit. The exhibition they have on comtemporary danish artists is very complete and diverse, leaving room for conversations, for laughs and for relaxed discussions. I will definitely come back another day to complete the visit!

Lovely artworks, some famous ones and a lot of Danish paintings. The outline of the museum was confusing and I felt like there was a lot of wasted space in the courtyard. There are some lockers downstairs when you can store your stuff. Staff was nice but the lady at the entrance counter was a bit moody. It’s nice enough but if you have to pick between this one or Glyptoteket (or any other museum) I’d say go there instead.

We really enjoyed our visit to the National Gallery of Denmark. It’s a beautiful space with lots to see, the Rembrandt and Munch pieces were definite highlights. The layout makes it easy to wander and take everything in at your own pace. The only downside was that the French section was closed, which was a bit disappointing still, it’s a great gallery and well worth a visit if you’re in Copenhagen!

Extensive museum. Interesting art. Favourite was the Nordic collection. Needs AC and the routing between old and new wing isn’t clear if you want to cross on the upper levels. The shop was just ok. A bit pricey for what it is. We enjoyed our visit overall.

Majestic building. Wonderful architecture, surrounded by fountains and statues. Hans Christian Anderson statue around the side. Was disappointed that we couldn't go inside. Very near main shopping area.

Rådhuspladsen is a lively and spacious public square in the heart of Copenhagen, right in front of the impressive City Hall building. It’s a great spot to take in the architecture, sit and relax, or use as a central meeting point. There’s always something happening — street performers, events, or just the flow of locals and tourists passing through. It’s also well-connected, with easy access to the metro, buses, and nearby attractions like Strøget and Tivoli Gardens. While the square itself doesn’t take long to explore, it’s definitely worth a stop when you’re in the area. Would I recommend it? ✅ Yes, especially for a quick visit or photo stop during your city walk.

It's the Coppenhaguen City Hall Square. Biggest one in city. Dominated by City Hall, fountain, sculpture of trumpet and famous clock that depicts woman riding o bycicle in sunny days and a woman with an umbrella for rainy days. Lots of shops and eateries.

Nice place and nice city. Very recommended for stay at the weekend in spring or autumn time. 👍 Book a free guide tour to get the best information abou city from domestic guy.😉

I got married here last year and just love everything about this building 🥰 the interior is beautiful. I am not sure for general visitors who want to tour inside, but the security at the front door will help you with the information.

Beautiful Plaza! Open big space. Perfect to shoot some pics of the city. Plenty of stores and streets to wander around.

Step out into Radhuspladsen, Copenhagen's grand central square, and you'll find a place that feels both timeless and modern. The magnificent Copenhagen City Hall, with its intricate stonework and towering clock, evokes a sense of grandeur straight out of a fantasy novel. Adding to this magical atmosphere is one of my favourite features: the Dragon Fountain. Its design is truly mystical, looking like something pulled directly from a medieval tale. The dragons coiled around the basin and the figures battling them feel like a story carved in stone. Beyond the stunning architecture, the square itself is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere. It feels incredibly safe, and as the sun sets, the night view is simply beautiful, with the city lights illuminating the majestic buildings. Radhuspladsen is a must-see for anyone who loves a beautiful cityscape with a touch of magic.

Come here for a swim, or a dance, or a picnic. This place is full of locals and visitors. So much happening and a delight to get to swim here!

A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon and have a bit of an explore. Felt safe on board and the video guided tour really helped understand what we were seeing!

cute spot to spend the day in the sun and swimming, specially nice during the summer

Excellent please to visit and enjoy. Take your time to walk, to ride everywhere, each corner has something to show.

Went there on a holiday and it was very crowded and still had some space for us to lay down and enjoy the sun. Regretted not having my swim shorts with me as I would have loved dipping my toes in the water! This single place is good enough of a reason for me to come back to Copenhagen!

Beautiful place. Unfortunately very busy and noisy most of the time .. Good for hanging out with friends.

Amazing place to hang out, sunbathe, swim or just take a walk.

Perfect spot for a quick pause during a visit or a workday. I enjoyed it on a beautiful sunny day and it was enriched by the market around the place. Taking a seat on the benches and reading a book or just pause to admire the beautiful flower garden in the centre of the place is very relaxing too.

Beautiful and spacious square near the Nyhavn area 🇩🇰. Super clean and well-maintained, with lovely architecture all around. A great spot for a peaceful walk or to just sit and enjoy the city vibe. Perfect place to start your Nyhavn stroll! 🌸

This public square is encircled by beautiful historic buildings and features Copenhagen benches scattered throughout. On a lovely day, it's an ideal spot for enjoying your morning coffee.

A lovely place to visit, but does get crowded, leads to many interesting places, Nyhavn canal leads to a lovely waterside walk that can take you in either direction of the city, we chose to walk to the little mermaid first day(45/60mins approx) , and walk other way second day that leads eventually to Tivoli gardens(45/60mins)

Clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Not too crowded, even during busy hours. Trains are on time and the staff are helpful — a smooth and comfortable experience overall.

Kongens Nytorv is one of Copenhagen’s central landmarks; a beautiful and well-kept public square right next to the jewel of the city, the Nyhavn waterfront. The open space has a calm atmosphere, with a small garden in the middle and majestic historic buildings surrounding it, including the Royal Danish Theatre, Hotel D’Angleterre, and several high-end shops like Rolex. It’s a convenient meeting point and a pleasant place to pause while exploring the city. There’s even a small pub on the corner, perfect for an Aperol Spritz on a warm afternoon. I don’t claim this the most beautiful place in the city, but it’s nice to pass through.

Such a beautiful spot right in the middle of Nyhavn! You can really feel the big-city vibe of Copenhagen here. At the end of Nyhavn — just woooow, absolutely amazing!

The tower has free entry, but the queues to get in are very long. They have to limit the number of people, so you need to wait for enough of the last batch to come back down. You go through airport style security when you first enter the building. You can request a pat down if you have medical equipment that can not go through a scanner. There are lifts all the way to the top. The first lift holds eight people, and the second holds six. As they had let around twenty-three people in, this meant more waiting. There are also some sculptures that you can view before going out to the viewing area. The views are okay. You can see quite far. The fencing is quite high, so it can be difficult to get pictures if you are short. The tower is fully accessible to people who use a wheelchair. You can borrow a wheelchair for free.

Free and amazing. Go after 6pm to avoid long lines. Security like airports. Very friendly staff. Amazing views. Check in the sculptures on the ground floor as well. At 106 meters, it is Copenhagen's highest tower. The tower was built as part of the third and current Christiansborg Palace, constructed between 1907 and 1928. The tower's viewing platform, called "The View" (Udsigten), is open to visitors and offers panoramic views of Copenhagen from 44 meters above ground.

The tower at Christiansborg offers a beautiful view over Copenhagen. It’s an enjoyable trip up, and definitely worth it. There’s airport-style security before going up, which makes sense considering it’s also home to parts of the Danish government. The tower visit was included in our reservation at the restaurant, which was a lovely dining experience with an elegant and antique atmosphere. If you're on a budget, the restaurant might be something to skip, but if not, it's a great way to make the most of the visit.

Dinner at Tårnet in Copenhagen is a memorable experience, set in the historic tower of Christiansborg Palace, it offers a unique blend of Danish heritage and modern cuisine. As you dine beneath the vaulted ceilings, you’re treated to beautifully crafted dishes made from seasonal, local ingredients. The atmosphere is elegant yet warm, with panoramic views of the city adding a magical touch to an unforgettable evening.

Christianborg Palace has luxury restaurants on its lower floors. It's a building with a beautifully preserved historical texture. You can climb the tower and enjoy the city view, but it's not very good. You can go up there for free, and you can use an elevator.

It offers one of the best viewing spots of the whole city for free. Yes, you'll probably need to face a queue at the entrance but you shouldn't have to wait that long. You can even see parts of Malmö from here

Free and amazing two elevator trip to the top of the highest tower in Copenhagen.

The Royal Danish Theatre (Det Kongelige Teater) in Copenhagen is not only a beautiful landmark with its classical architecture, dome, and charming garden full of flowers, but also the perfect starting point for exploring the city. Just in front stands the impressive equestrian statue of King Christian IX, adding to the grandeur of the square. From here begins Strøget, one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in Europe. It’s a lively avenue where you can find everything from luxury boutiques and international brands to cozy Danish design shops, street performers, and plenty of cafés to relax in. The atmosphere is vibrant both day and night, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Copenhagen. Along Strøget you’ll also come across interesting attractions, such as the Guinness World Records Museum, where you can see fascinating exhibits and life-size figures showcasing some of the most extraordinary records ever achieved. It’s a fun stop, especially if you’re exploring with family or friends. All in all, starting your walk from the Royal Theatre and heading down Strøget gives you a wonderful mix of culture, shopping, and entertainment—one of the best ways to experience the heart of Copenhagen.

Beautiful Theater. I miss the chance to see a show here. Got to plan earlier next time.

I took the guided tour for DKK150, and it was absolutely worth it to see behind the scenes of the historic theatre. Rather than a dry and rote tour, I could feel the passion our guide had for the theatre and the entire tour was light hearted, fun and educational. Due to ongoing rehearsals, we had the chance to see the flower and accessory workshop instead and it was absolutely amazing. Do take the tour if you have the chance.

Watched a metal concert by Opeth here in 2019 and most recently the Nutcracker musical in Dec 2021. Beautiful theatre though I wish the seats had a bit more space. It's obviously a very old building but well maintained.

Thanks to our guide Lars, we had a wonderful experience! Amazing place worthy of a visit.i had more pictures of sculptures in the theatre, judged by Google as inappropriate! Censorship is back again! Another web page going wrong!

Beautiful historical building, well kept, authentic hall. Saw the “Dans2Go” here and had a very exciting evening out with my mother. The ballet dancers were so talented, it was so amazing to see! Fantastic experience!

We went to see "Amadeus" and we do really recommend it if you speak Danish. The actors were amazing, the play is very well structured and we did really enjoy how well it is being performed. Very much recommended if you pass by to CPH to see if there is any play you can attend.
