THINGS TO SEE AND DO

Copenhagen has lots of highlights and Many of the tours will focus on the inner section of the city centre that’s within the lakes as well as the oblong island of Christianshavn located in between Amager and the centre. Maybe for Many tourists, a must see monument is the Little Mermaid near Langelinie Quay which is on the Copenhagen harbor. A rather small bronze statue that was robbed several years ago, but is the main character in the fairy tale story by the Danish writer Hans Christian Anderson.

The Kastellet fortress nearby has recently being restored and is worth a look. It has lovely green verges with sheep munching away and the old military buildings are very colourful and make it a beautiful star shaped site. The views over yresund and the harbor are lovely.

Along the southside of Copenhagen harbor is very scenic with the maritime industry working away and the windmill areas also. The Royal Gardens and Amalie Garden are of Rococo design and lead you to the 4 Royal Palaces of Amalienborg. The Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II lives here. The statue in the Square is of Frederik V in knights dress.
The Marble church of Frederikskirken was inspired by St. Peters Basilica in Rome. Tivoli is planted with thousands of flowers and has lovely lakes, lovely buildings and fun fairs and has its own unique Atmosphere. It is perfect for children and adults alike. On the right side of ystervoldgade one will come across the Botanic Gardens and also Kongens Have (Kings garden) on the left which is a popular spot to relax right in the middle of Copenhagen. The palace of Rosenborg Slot is in this garden is the former Summer home of the King Christian IV.

Copenhagen is a beautiful Northern European city with its own unique style and culture and is truly worth a visit.

Those interested in their Danish history should visit the most northern section of the Island of Zealand. The city of Helsingor and the castle of Kronborg, Elsinore. The play Hamlet was set in the castle of Kronborg. It was the Royal residence back in 1400 and it was Denmark’s main fortress.
