Scandinavia is stunning, historic and diverse. Frequent travelers agree that just one trip is not enough to explore this part of Europe, but if there has to be just one city among all, it has to be Copenhagen. The Danish capital is known for its museum, castles and palaces, besides being a great place to enjoy food and beer. So, what are the things you should see in Copenhagen? In this post, we bring the experiences, attractions and tips you must know before coming here.

The attractions

Okay, the to-do list for Copenhagen is huge. Start with Tivoli Garden, which happens to be the 2nd oldest-operating amusement park in the world and can really compete with Disney World. If you had to see just two castles, Rosenborg Castle and Christiansborg Palace should suffice. Nyhavn is the historic waterfront area, where you will find buildings from 16th and 17th centuries, which have been restored and painted in bright colors. Grab a coffee or a beer here if you don’t mind the price. For some street food, head to Papirøen, also called the Paper Island. A tour of Carlsberg brewery is also highly recommended, while Stroget is where you can shop until you drop. For some offbeat fun, head to Freetown Christiana, where you can enjoy quirky public art on display. Also, make time for the iconic Round Tower called Rundetaarn for panoramic view of the city, and don’t miss Denmark’s National Museum.

Tips for better 

If you want to save some money on your travel, we would strongly recommend that you buy the Copenhagen Card, which can offer access to over 80 sights and attractions with free use of buses and trains. Instead of hotels, check for Copenhagen hotel apartments, which offer much better value of money and the comfort you would seek at a luxury destination. You can check for a few properties at Østerbro district. Copenhagen is also famed for its incredible love for biking, so rent a bike if you want to get around, and you can actually find bikes that have GPS-enabled tablets. Water is safe for drinking in most parts of the city, so don’t spend on bottled water.

Booking your apartment rentals and flights for Copenhagen in advance will help in saving considerable money. Check for details online, find the property you like, and grab the best deal. Copenhagen is truly the city of dreams!
