Travelling to Copenhagen , What you should see

The combination of cosmopolitan flair and simplicity is Copenhagen's emblem. It is a place where pedestrian areas, cycle paths, dedicated spaces for pushchairs on buses, pedestrian crossings, cleanliness, and a tranquil pace of life prevail.

On the other hand, it is not at all uncommon to see Queen Margrethe II herself shopping in a store, often without any escort.

Copenhagen Tour

Copenhagen boasts approximately 50 museums. Don't forget to visit the most popular, Louisiana, with a series of pavilions connected by glass corridors that blend into the park, featuring works by sculptors and painters.

Also, pass by Parliament Square, Hans Christian Andersen Boulevard. Then visit the Church of Our Saviour and take a stroll through the city's canals and picturesque Nyhavn. Next, you must see Amalienborg Palace, the royal residence, the magnificent Gefion Fountain, and the Little Mermaid, famous from Andersen's fairytale and an icon of the city.

It's worth enjoying a beer at one of the restaurants in the Tivoli Gardens. A walk around Rosenborg Castle, dating back to the 17th century, is essential.

 

Weather

The weather at this time of year is absolutely freezing!

Temperatures hover around 8-9 degrees Celsius, with heavy rainfall. Don't forget to pack your heaviest clothes. You will certainly need gloves and will be looking for a fur hat, especially one that covers your ears. As for the time, it's one hour behind Greece.

 

Rest and Relaxation

If you seek rest and inspiration, the Tivoli Gardens are the right place, as it was here that Walt Disney found inspiration. Enjoy a beer and sample Danish cuisine in one of the approximately 30 restaurants in the area. The area attracts 3 million visitors annually, while the total number since it opened in 1843 amounts to 280 million.

The best way to explore the city is by bicycle. Despite being the largest city in Scandinavia, there is no traffic congestion on the streets. Most residents prefer buses and the metro, walking, or cycling.

Of course, the terrain also helps, as the highest elevation in the entire country is just 100 metres. Don't attempt this in Athens; it's both dangerous and bad for your health.

 

Must Visit

The amazing Christmas concerts held in various churches throughout the city. If rock music inspires you more, on December 27th, the biggest rock concert of the year will take place, featuring all the Danish rock bands.

Shopping

The whole country is already in the Christmas spirit. A good idea is to browse the Tivoli market. Focus on the porcelain items that possess royal finesse. The Christmas Bazaar held at the Swedish church is also interesting. For antiques and trinkets, visit the Christmas Flea Market, which takes place on various streets around the city.

 

Entertainment

The city boasts a rich nightlife, despite Danes loving their homes, where they spend many hours. The most famous bars are Vega and Rust, where you'll see renowned DJs from all over the world.

Unfortunately, bars in Copenhagen often don't stay open past midnight, so most Danes start their night out at super-hip pre-club bars like Stereo Bar and Ideal Bar.

If you prefer something more classic after dinner, enjoying a glass of wine, visit the Amagertorv area where you'll find many lovely traditional nightspots.

Don't forget to visit the traditional Danish pubs, called bodegas, which you'll find all over the city, often in basements.

Hotels

If you want something special, choose the Hotel D’Angleterre, built in 1755 and completely renovated in 2001.

It is one of the oldest hotels in the world, yet it offers all luxurious and modern amenities, such as high-speed Internet access from your room. Also, the Copenhagen Marriott Hotel, located right by the sea, is an interesting alternative.

It is a luxury hotel, opened just 2 years ago, and features many amenities. The Nyhavn Hotel is also appealing, situated in a more traditional Danish building, with a charming atmosphere. It is located by the water and in the city centre.
