Summary
Taking a European city break to Copenhagen and other Scandinavian destinations will leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Copenhagen is also called ‘The City of Spires’ because of the city’s architectural wonders, which include the spires on castles and churches.
The Danish capital has a wealth of delights for holidaymakers of all ages. While we can’t cover everything here, we’ve picked out some of our favourite things to see and do in Copenhagen to give you a flavour of what to expect.
Touring Copenhagen on two wheels is a great way to see the city and its many attractions, including Tivoli Gardens, a world-famous amusement park. With over 500 km of dedicated cycle paths, you can keep fit while discovering as much of the city as possible during your stay.
Copenhagen also has some beautiful buildings to admire. The 17th-century Rosenborg Castle, Christiansborg Palace and Amalienborg Palace are all very different and worth visiting in their own right.
Spending time in the Nyhavn District is an absolute pleasure. The brightly coloured buildings facing the water that host bars, cafes and restaurants help create an amazing atmosphere. You can also take a leisurely boat ride from here to see Copenhagen from the water.
Strøget is one of the city’s top shopping destinations. You’ll find various stores here, from local independent outlets to global fashion brands. It’s a pedestrianised street with many great little cafes nearby, perfect for taking the weight off your feet and planning what you’d like to buy next.
