Start your first day in the royal and colorful side of Copenhagen. First is Nyhavn. This incredibly famous harbor is lined with beautiful brightly coloured buildings from the 17th century. Visit Nyhavn to stroll the harbor, have some coffee in one of the waterfront cafes, or take photos of the many classic wooden ships. If you want a unique perspective on the city, consider taking a boat tour from Nyhavn (the boats typically accommodate 13 passengers). It’s a great way to see the sights and history of Copenhagen, all from the water… and there’s even a few bars stop along the way! 

In the afternoon, explore the royal history of Copenhagen by visiting Amalienborg Palace, the official residence of the Danish royal family. Watching the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace at least once during your stay in Copenhagen is an incredible experience and really grounds you in the Danish royal history. After Amalienborg Palace, you should visit Rosenborg Castle. It was built as a royal residence, and Rosenborg is the home of the Danish Crown Jewels. The interiors of Rosenborg and the royal antiquities and artifacts offer a great insight into royal history and royal customs in Denmark. 

For a great view and rushing excitement to end your first day in Copenhagen, head to the 'Round Tower' (Rundetaarn), Europe’s oldest functioning observatory. It has one of the most beautiful views of the whole city. For a more exciting expedition, you may choose to head in the opposite direction to Tivoli Gardens (one of the oldest amusement parks in the world).. 

Day 2: Culture & City Icons 

Day two is all about experiencing Copenhagen’s culture and iconic spots. Start your day at the National Museum of Denmark, where you can explore more than 14,000 artifacts and exhibits from multiple centuries of Danish history. From Viking and medieval era artifacts to cultural exhibits and displays, the National Museum is both educational and entertaining for visitors of all ages. 

In the afternoon, explore the garden of botanical diversity– the Botanical Garden. Located in the heart of the city, the garden is a quiet oasis away from the hustle of urban life– offering beautiful curated gardens that create a much-needed sense of refreshment and calmness. It is perfect for photography and taking a breather amidst visiting dots of the city. After that, head over to Strøget the longest also one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in Europe. At Strøget, you can enjoy a local atmosphere with local boutiques and chain retail shops and also find a good cafe or two in-between shopping. 

In the evening, enjoy the alternative cultural side of Copenhagen. The area of the city is known for many things — Freetown Christiania—a self-governing area known for its ambiance of artists/muralists and alternative bohemianness. For a more party-oriented night out, head to the Meatpacking District with lively nightlife spots in the neighborhood with in-demand bars/restaurants and live music. Visiting these local spots will give the traveler a true sense of a local experience. 

Day 3: History and coastal charm. 

On your final day in Copenhagen, your primary focus will be historical landmarks and the charming coastal locations. The day starts at Kastellet, which is considered to be one of the best-preserved fortresses in Northern Europe. Walking through Kastellet's star-shaped grounds, you will take in the views and remember that this fortress grounds were once used as a military facility. 

Once you have concluded your time at Kastellet, you will walk to the iconic Little Mermaid statue. This statue is one of the most photographed locations in Copenhagen. The statue is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s well-known fairy tale by the same name. 

In the afternoon, you will visit Christiansborg Palace, the location of the Danish Parliament. You will be able to climb the tower and once again appreciate the sweeping views of the city, which are remarkable in how you can see the mixture of older structures with modern architecture. Photos you will remember, as the views are spectacular and the historical significance of Denmark’s democracy was amazing. 

Finally, we will conclude our visit calmly on a high note! You will head to Reffen at Refshaleøen. This is a cool street food market and cultural area where you will be able to have a taste tour of the world and eat different foods from almost every corner of the world while experiencing the waterfront.
