Denmark 🇩🇰
Copenhagen
Tips
- If you’re travelling on a budget, I found buying groceries from the supermarket chain Netto and packing lunches to be surprisingly affordable.
- I found the 80+ attractions and free public transportation included in the Copenhagen DISCOVER Card to be worth the price.
Attractions
Didn’t go inside, but the Changing of the Guard ceremony that happens at noon is cool.
Abandoned military barracks turned hippie self-governing community. Great to walk around and vibe. If you’re a fan of fine dining, I’d recommend taking a peek at world-famous Noma nearby!
Det Kgl. Bibliotek, The Royal Library
Nice place to rest and read books!
This tower is the highest place in Copenhagen - great views of the city.
I’d recommend this if you’re into sustainability, textiles, fashion, graphic design, or playful modern art!
Gorgeous marble castle. Danish crown jewels in lower level.
Beautiful amusement park! Not worth the normal admission, but if you have the Copenhagen Card I’d recommend checking it out.
SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst
Classical art and indoor sculpture garden.
Food
Cardamom buns are an iconic Danish baked good. Warm, soft, spiced - very cozy.
Flæskesteg (roast crackling pork) sandwiches. Surprisingly good.
Day Trips
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Spectacular, well worth the day trip. Incredible permanent and temporary modern art exhibits indoors. The coastal sculpture garden is especially magnificent to see evolve as the sun changes position throughout the day.
