Copenhagen, Denmark

Hej!

Thinking of taking a trip to Scandinavia? Definitely put Copenhagen, Denmark on your list. I decided to take a solo trip to Copenhagen and Stockholm for a week. I would recommend this trip to all. There is so much to see and experience in these two capital cities.

Copenhagen Card

If you are like me, and are traveling alone, and I recommend buying the Copenhagen card. This card includes free entrance into almost all the attractions that Copenhagen has to offer, along with free access to public transport in Copenhagen and free airport transport. The card is 60 euros and lasts for 24 hours. Of course, 60 euros sounds like a lot of money, but Copenhagen is generally an expensive city. With this card you can enter all the museums and castles, go on a boat tour and enter the famous Tívoli park for a single price. That being said, you have to be an ambitious person to try to see as much as you can (paid attractions) within the 24 hours. Here are a few attractions that I checked off my list using the Copenhagen Card.

• Tívoli Gardens: Free entrance only (attractions you have to pay extra for): Beautiful garden with an amusement park inside

• Copenhagen Zoo: A bit outside the city center, but easy to arrive by public transport (which is included in the Copenhagen card price)

• Guinness World Record Museum: Very fun museum to walk through and see the most random world records.

• Amalienborg Palace

• Christiansburg Palace

• Statins Museum for Kunst: Art Museum

• Boat Tour

Exploring for Free

When your card runs out, or you are looking for a cheaper way to enjoy the city, visit some destinations that are free! I recommend walking along the river at a leisurely pace and really soaking in the city’s charm.

• The Little Mermaid statue

• The Rose Garden (near the Statens Museum for Kunst)

• The King’s Garden

• Nyhavn: A harbor that is filled with colorful buildings and restaurants. A typical Copenhagen postcard.
