There’s more to Copenhagen than merely an ice-cold bottle of Carlsberg. The capital of Denmark is a compact city, filled with plenty of Scandinavian sightseeing and entertainment opportunities. It offers a wide roster of historical and modern thrills, most of which could be experienced in this two-day trip guide.

Day 1
Up close

Discover the Tivoli Gardens and the Ny Carslberg Glyptotek. As you drive past the canal district, you can view the National Museum and the Christiansborg Palace. See the Changing of the Guard at Amalienborg Palace, the Royal Family’s winter residence. Snap some photos of the Gefion Fountain. You may also opt for a harbor tour that will take you close to magnificent towers, the fairytale-inspired The Little Mermaid, and the beautiful canals of Christianshavn, and Frederiksholm.

Day 2
Castle tour

Leave Copenhagen at the moment and head north to the countryside. Recall some lines from Shakespeare’s immortal play Hamlet as you enter Elsinore Castle. Marvel at the grandeur of Fredensborg Palace, the Queen’s summer residence. See hundreds of historical paintings, tapestries, and national treasures at the Rennaisance-style Frederiksborg Castle, now a national museum.
