Walk through the longest pedestrian street in Europe, known as Stroget; see the magnificent landmark statue of The Little Mermaid; prepare for astute palaces and royal surroundings; Prepare for Copenhagen, Denmark.
Begin your journey by booking a flight to Copenhagen Airport (CPH), also known as Kobenhavns Lufthavn, Kastrup. Visit the following link provided by EscapeWizard.com to book your flight: (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php) Hotel accommodations can be accessed at the additional EscapeWizard.com link: (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl).
Start your trip to Copenhagen, Denmark by splurging with a shopping spree along the inter-connected streets of Stroget. Enjoy shops and street performers while strolling through this car-free zone. To familiarize yourself with the city, EscapeWizard.com suggests a stop at The Round Tower where you can climb to the top for remarkable city views. Originally built as an observatory, inside The Round Tower there is also a music venue and library hall.
EscapeWizard.com wants you to know that many sights are in easy walking distance of one another, so continue forth to The Tivoli Gardens. More than 100 years old, this amusement park is a popular destination for all of Europe. Here, find additional opportunities for amusement, such as dance halls, theaters, restaurants and more.
As you wind your way towards statues and architectural beauties, visit the notable and most famous symbol of Copenhagen, The Little Mermaid. You will feel as if you are in a fairytale, just like the Hans Christian Anderson’s story, which the statue is based from. Also known as Den Lille Havfrue, this mermaid beauty can be found near Langelinie on the corner of Frederiksstaden.
As you move on from Frederiksstaden, EscapeWizard.com recommends the Dutch Renaissance of the Rosenberg Castle. Constructed in the 1600’s, be sure to see what it has to offer, particularly the royal collections, which include the Crown Jewels. But before you leave, don’t forget the craftsmanship of King’s Garden, also known as Kongens Have.
Now that you’ve seen a few notable attractions, EscapeWizard.com believes it’s time for you to dive fully into royalty. Start at the center of the city with Amalienborg Palace, which is composed of four identical buildings spanning across cobblestone courtyards. The four palaces are each known by two separate names, listed as follows: Moltke’s Palace (The Christian VII), Levetzau’s Palace (The Christian VIII), Brockdorff’s Palace (The Frederik VII) and Schack’s Palace (The Christian IX). Several of the palaces are open for view, all housing distinguished furnishings inside. While at Amalienborg, spend part of the afternoon watching the Danish Royal Guard perform shift change marches in front of the palace.
For royal history, EscapeWizard.com recommends a stop at Frederiksborg Slot, also known as The National Historical Museum. This Renaissance palace is a peaceful place found in the center of a lake. Inside are royal furnishings, with plenty of enticing landscape creations outside. For even more history, learn about Danish origins via The National Museum of Denmark (or Nationalmuseet). Here, gaze upon an immense collection of five historical sections ranging from prehistory to palaces to royal coin collections and beyond. Or move on and preview art at The Statens Museum for Kunst. In this national gallery, you will see Danish and international art exhibits, which include paintings, sculptures and more.
If you’ve had enough history and want to feel free, then take a trip to The Freetown of Christiania. This self-governed area remains a “free city,” which exists within the city as a major tourist attraction. Dive into a new cultural environment or take a summer tour to learn this rebellious land. EscapeWizard.com recommends a search of citizen rules before entering this or any new community.
EscapeWizard.com recommends spending the next days relaxing at one of Copenhagen’s many beaches. Not far from the city center, clean waters and white sands await your arrival. Choose the clean Amager Beach Park, which faces the coast of Sweden. Or venture north to the more populated Bellevue Beach featuring pristine, clear blue water.
To wind down your day, enjoy Danish hospitality by trying out a restaurant with Scandinavian cuisine. For the night out, find an enthusiastic bar or club to continue an exhilarating experience.
