Overview

Copenhagen, the capital and largest city of Denmark, is a vibrant destination where historic charm meets modern innovation. The city is famous for its picturesque canals, colourful harbour of Nyhavn, and iconic attractions such as Tivoli Gardens and the Little Mermaid statue. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with stylish boutiques, explore world-class museums, and enjoy Copenhagen’s renowned food scene, from traditional Danish smørrebrød to innovative New Nordic cuisine.

Known for its cycling culture and focus on sustainability, the city offers a relaxed yet dynamic atmosphere. For those wanting to explore beyond Denmark, Copenhagen’s convenient location makes it easy to take a short trip across the Øresund Bridge to Malmö in southern Sweden, offering a perfect opportunity to experience another charming Scandinavian city in just a day.

Itinerary

Arrive in Copenhagen and transfer to your hotel in the city centre by train (payable locally). Check in for a three-night stay at your chosen hotel on a breakfast basis.

Admire the renowned statue of The Little Mermaid, before visiting Tivoli Gardens — a historic amusement park that has welcomed visitors for over a century. Explore Christiania, the self-proclaimed ‘freetown’ known for its distinctive architecture, vibrant creative culture, cheap eats and live music venues. Finish the day off with a visit to Nyhavn, a picturesque 17th-century waterfront district characterised by its brightly coloured buildings and wide array of lively bars and restaurants.

Among Copenhagen’s many cultural highlights are its grand royal palaces. Amalienborg, the official residence of the Queen of Denmark, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Danish Rococo architecture. The daily changing of the guard ceremony at the palace is always popular.

Take a walk down the pedestrianised shopping street of Strøget which has something for everyone, from high-end boutiques to small independent shops.

Check out of your hotel and travel back to the airport by train.

Also consider visiting Malmo

Malmo is a vibrant coastal city which lies just across the Öresund Bridge from Copenhagen. In just 30 minutes you can be exploring iconic landmarks like the Turning Torso, Scandinavia’s tallest skyscraper, and the historic Malmö Castle. Take a stroll through Kungsparken Park or enjoy the sandy beaches at Ribersborg.

The city also offers a lively food scene and charming cafes and has many culture offerings such as Moderna Museet Malmö.

With its blend of history, nature, and modernity, Malmö has something for everyone to enjoy.
