Head to Copenhagen, and you\u2019ll find yourself in a city of culinary highlights and perhaps familiar with being the setting for Scandi Noir dramas. However, it\u2019s also a very chic and cool city. Forward-thinking, compact and accessible, whether you\u2019re joining the cycling commuters or hopping on the public transport. Visiting Denmark\u2019s capital is a weekend break that will delight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you\u2019re in Viking territory now, and there\u2019s little doubt you\u2019ll find plenty of treasures. There are Royal palaces to explore, art to google at, with collections brought in worldwide. And food to enjoy! The weather might not always be favourable, but that shouldn\u2019t stop you. It\u2019s time to discover the best of this Scandinavian favourite. Put that jumper on!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Heading around the city<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Tivoli<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A bike may not be your favourite mode of transport, and let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s not for everyone, then taking a hop-on hop-off bus tour<\/a> could be more your ticket. Copenhagen has several routes to choose from, so it\u2019s a case of taking your pick.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copenhagen has many attractions to tantalise the senses. Including and not in any order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Amalienborg Royal Palace<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Little Mermaid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosenborg Castle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copenhagen Zoo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tivoli gardens\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A varied choice and each a gem to make your time there well spent. Although small and perhaps a little underwhelming, attractions like the Little Mermaid is still a must-do. Let\u2019s call it a rite of passage. Getting the bus is a great way to get your bearings, check out what\u2019s what and then revisit your top picks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Freetown Christiania<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Freetown Christiania is a commune on the eastern side of Christianshavn<\/a>. It\u2019s a different place that has been attracting nonconformists since the early 70s. Once you\u2019ve passed the shady and infamous \u2018Pusher St\u2019, you\u2019ll find a wonderful arena of impressive garden plots, eateries, beer gardens and music venues. An organised tour is a great way to see the area, get the history and understand what this now changed place was once like.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On your bike!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve mentioned bikes and let\u2019s be honest Copenhagen and bikes go together like cheese and crackers! You won\u2019t find it hard to hire one, so get on your bike and explore. You won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Food and drink<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Night<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Copenhagen has become a culinary destination. It boasts the highest number of Michelin starred restaurants in Scandinavia. If your budget doesn\u2019t extend to those highs, then among Vesterbro\u2019s bars and restaurants there\u2019s no doubt you\u2019ll find food to fit. Fish is of course high on the menu. Oh, and we\u2019d love to know if the menus in the cafes still show pictures? It\u2019s how they once displayed their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Copenhagen is a European destination that more than delivers with its attractions and food choices. Whether it\u2019s a brief stay, stopover or your starting point to exploring other parts of Denmark, it\u2019s a city that will draw you in.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
