Things to see and do

Copenhagen by boat

One way to explore a big part of the city within a short timeframe is to take a canal tour. Many of the attractions in Copenhagen can be experienced from the water, providing a relaxing way to enjoy the sights of Copenhagen.

Nyhavn

A historical place where ships from around the world docked and filled the harbour with sailors. Nyhavn (New Harbour)’s former merchant houses – delightful old and crooked buildings – have been beautifully renovated and many now house popular restaurants and bars.

Shopping

Over the last decade, the international profile of Copenhagen's fashion designers has increased dramatically. The city’s ambition is to be number four fashion city in Europe, and Copenhagen is well on its way to achieving this. Copenhagen’s largest shopping area is centred around Europe’s longest pedestrian shopping street – Strøget – and the streets that surround it. Strøget has everything from Danish high street store names such as Vero Moda and Vila to the exclusive silver, porcelain and glassware of the Royal Scandinavia shops.

Sightseeing by bike

Rent a bike – the young Copenhageners' favourite means of transportation – and explore the city on two wheels. There are more than 300 km of cycle paths in and around the city so getting on a bike, really is a fun way to get to know the Danish capital. You can easily get hold of a bike at one of the many city bike racks dotted around the city centre for a deposit of only 20 DKK.

The Sea Forts of Copenhagen: Middelgrundsfortet, Flakfortet, Trekroner

Copenhagen has three sea forts at the entrance to the harbour in the middle of Øresund. All are artificial islands with Middelgrundsfortet being the largest of its kind in the world, and also the best preserved of the three. The forts were built as part of the Danish defence system designed to protect Copenhagen against attacks from the sea, but today they are open to the public and guided tours are available on a daily basis.

Tivoli Gardens

Tivoli Gardens, the highly renowned amusement park, is usually top of everyone's list of places to visit in Copenhagen. Founded in 1843 it is a beautiful, romantic park with numerous restaurants and lanterns in the trees creating a unique atmosphere.
