Christiania, the free town within the city, is without a doubt one of Denmark’s most popular tourist attractions.

This controversial area is loved by many, but has been a turning point for strong debate especially because of the locals relaxed view on hash and their at times quite anarchistic statements.

Christiansborg Palace houses the Danish Parliament, Supreme Court, and Ministry of State. It is also used by the Royal Family for various functions and events. This is where foreign ambassadors and heads of states are welcomed by the Prime Minister and the Queen.

The Great Hall contains the Queen's tapestry series, which depict 1000 years of Danish history.

Nyhavn - packed with partying people, restaurants, and bars.

During summer, Nyhavn is the perfect place to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining. Or, if you prefer, you can do like the locals and buy a beer from a nearby store and rest your feet at the quayside.

In the center of Copenhagen you will find the beautiful castle Rosenborg.

It was originally built as a royal pleasure retreat by King Christian IV, but today it is a museum, displaying 400 years of Royal history.

Copenhagen's largest shopping area is centered around Strøget in the heart of the city.

Strøget is the world's longest pedestrian street with a wealth of shops, from budget-friendly chains to some of the world's most expensive brands.

Rundetaarn, or the round tower, is the oldest functioning observatory in Europe and stars have been watched here since 1642.

The observatory is encircled by an outdoor platform from which you have a magnificent view of the old part of Copenhagen.

A new fairytale - every day. The romantic Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park is a glorious blend of time-honoured tradition and modern technology.
