Top attractions

Copenhagen has attractions and sights to suit every taste and interest – and most of them are within walking distance.

The three most famous attractions in the city are: The more than 100 year old amusement park Tivoli, the statue of The Little Mermaid, and the freetown of Christiania.

But Copenhagen has a lot more to offer. With a history that dates back to 1043 the city is full of historic landmarks, significant buildings and interesting sights. Be sure to visit Amalienborg Palace – home to the royal family, do a guided canal tour on the harbour and walk down the shopping street Strøget.

Considered one of the greatest works of Danish Rococco architecture the Queen's residence is, made up of four identical buildings spread around the octagonal courtyard.
Get a glimpse into the Royal abode or watch the daily shift-change of the Royal Guard.

Cruising the Canals.

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.

Visit the former home of internationally renowned writer Karen Blixen aka Isaak Dinesen.

The Karen Blixen Museum is located directly by the Øresund Sound in Rungstedlund, an enchanting park and bird sanctuary north of Copenhagen.

Lousiana's changing exhibitions bring world class art to the forefront of the Danish art scene.

You can always be sure to take in refreshing and innovative contemporary art as well as modernist classics when you visit Lousiana.

The art museum is founded by the brewer Carl Jacobsen and contains two main departments of ancient and modern art in fabulous architectural surroundings.

You can view collections of Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman art as well as Danish and French paintings and sculptures of the 19th and 20th century.

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.

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.
