Hi All!
My parents are going to visit Stockholm from Amsterdam in mid May. They will be coming from Amsterdam by train and have a break journey in Copenhagen for 4-5 hours. They may extend their stay in Copenhagen for a day as well. Can anyone please suggest any good places to visit in Copenhagen during the day, any nice castles or museums or anything. Or any site-seeing nearby the city. I think they would really appreciate something typically Danish.
Any suggestions will be of big help to me for arranging their trip. They both are 60+ and neither drink nor smoke. So the bars will be out of contention.
Thanks! |

The Little Mermaid
Hans Christian Andersen wrote a fairy tale about her, Disney produced a film.
The Little Mermaid continues to be the most popular tourist attraction in Denmark and one of the most photographed statues in the world.
Tivoli Gardens
The highly popular amusement park, is usually top of everyone's list of places to visit.
Founded in 1843 it is a beautiful, romantic amusement park with lanterns in the trees that create a unique atmosphere. It has a wealth of high-class restaurants and stages for music and theatre.
Amalienborg Palace
The royal couple's winter residence, is a major architectural work and probably the most outstanding piece of Rococo architecture in Denmark.
The National Museum
Denmark's largest museum of cultural history. The museum's main domicile is a classical 18th century mansion just a stone's throw from 'Strøget' at the center of Copenhagen. The National Museum is the museum for all Denmark, where you can follow the history of the Danes right down to the present day. And you can get around the world from Greenland to South America.
Copenhagen's largest shopping area is centred on Europe's longest pedestrian shopping street, Strøget, and the streets that surround it. Strøget is Denmark's premier shopping street.
Statens Museum for Kunst
The Danish national gallery, is the only place in Denmark which features 700 years of Western art and cultural history under one roof. The museum houses a large collection of Danish and international paintings, sculptures, drawings, and installations. The museum is located in central Copenhagen near the Nørreport and Østerport stations, a short walk from the Castle of Rosenborg and the Botanical Gardens.
The Round Tower
The Round Tower was built on the initiative of King Christian IV (1588-1648). The tower was the first stage of the Trinitatis complex, which was to gather three important facilities for the scholars of the seventeenth century: an astronomical observatory, a student's church and a university library. The tower was completed in 1642.
Kronborg Castle is situated on the sea in Elsinore (Helsingør) and in clear weather you can get a clear view of Sweden across the sound.
The Castle was built between 1574- 85 during the reign of King Frederik II to keep and eye on and collect taxes from ships sailing through the narrow sound between Denmark and Sweden. This so-called Øresund-tax was for a long period an important income for Denmark.
All info about my suggestions I've acquired on this homepage, you'll find further information about places to visit and see and about the suggestions I've given too.
