København - Things to Do
Food scene
The Kødbyens Meatpacking District has emerged in recent years as one of Copenhagen’s coolest (dare I say it, hipster) districts. Industrial warehouses have been transformed into some of Copenhagen’s best restaurants, bars, galleries and clubs.
I’m yet to have a bad meal in Kødbyens, but my absolute favourite is Kødbyens Fiskebar. Their seafood dishes are some of the best I’ve had.

What’s the big deal? One of the most coveted restaurants on the planet, Noma and its founder, René Redzepi, are known for creating New Nordic Cuisine and inspiring an entire generation of chefs the world over. Noma was voted The World’s Best Restaurant in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 before it closed in 2016 and moved to a new location in 2018. Now back on top form with a seasonal dining structure, Noma 2.0 is wowing diners again with its endlessly innovative tasting menus.
How does it work? Noma offers three menus at different times of year, with seafood season from January to June, vegetable season during the summer and game and forest in the winter. The restaurant closes before each season so that its R&D team, led by talented head Mette Søberg, can develop new menu items from whatever the land and sea provide.
What to expect: No trip to Noma is ever the same, with Redzepi and team constantly foraging for unexpected ingredients and turning them into beautiful plates. Highlights from previous seasons include a groundbreaking vegetarian celeriac shawarma, a duck dish of leg, brain and heart served with claw, feather and beak, and sweet crab meat served on a flatbread cut into the shape of a crab. Summer 2021 included standout dishes such as fried cod collar with crème fraiche and caviar.

Take a Canal Tour. Yes, it’s touristy but you can’t come to Copenhagen and not take a canal tour.
It’s one of the best ways to see Copenhagen and the guides provide great information about what you are seeing along the way.
If you are looking for a less touristy way to explore the city by water, take one of the water buses that ferry locals between destinations on both sides of the Kobenshaven Havn.
It’s not the same experience but it costs a fraction of the price and is pretty cool too.

Visually, I think the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is one of the absolute best Copenhagen attractions.
I only got around to visiting the Glyptotek on my third visit to Copenhagen and I really regret not going sooner.
The Glyptotek is the personal collection of Carl Jacobsen – son of the founder of the Carlsberg brewery. Sculpture is the main focus here, but not quite like you’ve seen it before.
Thoughtful curation, brilliant presentation and informative exhibitions combine to make this into one of Europe’s best art galleries (believe me, I don’t say that lightly).
Plus, there’s a huge palm-filled atrium at the centre that is just beautiful.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the Tivoli Gardens – the last time I visited it was so packed I could barely move.
However, I know that lots of people love it and it’s one of the things to see in Copenhagen so I’ll leave you to make up your own mind.
Tivoli is the second oldest amusement park in the world! So much so that it provided the inspiration for Disneyland.
The rides are pretty cool. Before I visited, I was a bit blasé about how exciting they would be, seeing as it’s right in the middle of the city.
Be warned, there are a few (including a crazy roller coaster) that really aren’t for the faint-hearted.
If you’re less about hair-raising thrills, the assortment of boutiques, cafes and restaurants provide entertainment enough.
Although it is open in the summer, I think the best time to visit the Tivoli is in the winter months when the lights really come into their own.
As if you needed an excuse to sip on mulled wine and watch the Tivoli lit up at night.

Hang Out in Christiania. Slightly seedy but cool in its own special way, Christiania is one of the more unique places to visit in Copenhagen, you shouldn’t miss it during your travels.
The Freetown is a blueprint for an alternative way of life – locals have handbuilt houses out of unique materials.
There are also organic shops and cafes with home-grown produce, alternative music bars and skate parks. It’s hippy with a capital H.
Until recently, Christiania was also known for its so called “Green Street” where people would sell marijuana.
But this has largely disappeared in the past few years as it’s caused trouble within the community.

The Amalienborg Palace is a real eye-opener – a glimpse into the life of a truly contemporary royal family.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Amalienborg.
The palace’s exterior is all the usual pomp and glory you’d expect.
Inside, you get up, close and personal with the past few generations of the Danish Royal family – seeing their lounges, studies, libraries and dining rooms.
It gets better. Head to the second floor to be immersed into the artistic world of the current ruler Margrethe II.
The palace contains an exhibition of the set pieces, costumes and storybooks she has created since childhood.
The Queen spends one day per week dedicated to artistic pursuits and has opened up this part of the palace to display the end results.
I could not imagine the Queen of England doing anything half as cool, could you?

See the Crown Jewels at the Rosenborg Castle. Hands up who wants to check out the Danish Crown Jewels?! Thought so.
Rosenborg Castle was built in the 17th Century at the behest of Christian IV.
His goal? To create a “pleasure palace” outside of old Copenhagen.
The end result is a higgledy-piggledy trove of elaborate rooms, tapestried walls and err… mirrored bedrooms next to which the King kept his porn collection.
Anyway, I digress.
Though the palace is one of the best places to visit in Copenhagen, the real draw is downstairs.
Once you’ve finished with seeing Rosenborg Castle’s upper floors, descend into the basement, behind several impenetrable security doors to see the star of the show, the Crown Jewels.
Christian IV’s Crown dates back to 1596 and is a rather dazzling array of diamonds, gold and general glitziness.

Spiral up Rundetårn. For one of the best views of the city, head to the top of Rundetårn, which has a spiralled walkway right to the very top. On a sunny day you can see all across the region, making it a great place to watch the sunset!

The Church Of Our Saviour is a baroque church in Copenhagen, Denmark. It’s super famous for it’s helix spire with an external winding staircase.
You can climb all the way to the top for the most beautiful panoramic views over Copenhagen. Each year more than 60,000 people climb the many flights of stairs to the top, 90 metres above street level.
It is also famous for it’s carillon. It’s the largest in northern Europe and plays melodies every hour from 8am to midnight.
Depending on when you visit Copenhagen, be mindful of the tower opening times. In December the tower is only open on 1st, 6th, 8th, 12th og 15th. It closes in January and February and reopens in March.
This still certainly passes as one of the top things to do in Copenhagen in winter because although it’s closed for the peak months of winter, November and March count as cold right?

The Kings Gardens are an attraction within themselves, also known as Kongens in Danish. This is the oldest park in Copenhagen that was established in the early part of the 17th-century. While you’re visiting the park that was commissioned by King Christian IV, you’ll find a lot of historical buildings to visit including Rosenborg Castle, which is a tour that should probably be done by itself. This is where the Royal Guards are housed in the Rosenborg Barracks. There are multiple monuments and statues to view at the park as well as a multitude of concerts, exhibitions, and other events that are held regularly through the summertime. There is also a moat and a playground at the park.

While we’re on the subject of spires, my own favorite in Copenhagen is the fantastical twisting spire of the Borsen or stock exchange building, which is well worth a look on your strolls around the city, though it’s not generally open to the public.
The exchange is topped by a spire formed from the entwined tails of four dragons! Built in the 17th-century reign of King Christian IV, the building is one of the finest examples of Dutch Renaissance architecture in Denmark.

Go swimming in the harbor. Around the world, many cities struggle with water pollution, and you wouldn’t dream of swimming in their rivers and lakes. Copenhagen, however, is not one of those places. The water quality throughout much of the harbor is astonishingly high, and it’s not uncommon to see locals going for a swim throughout the year.
Throughout central Copenhagen, you’ll find various designated bathing zones. Some of the most popular ones are Islands Brygge and Fisketorvet, both of which aren’t far from most of the main tourist attractions.
If you’re staying a little further afield, the newer Nordhavn and Sydhavnen districts also have areas where you can go for a swim.
To go into the water, you typically don’t need to pay unless you want to use locker rooms. However, you must stick to the designated areas — these are clearly marked. If you choose to ignore these, you could receive a hefty fine and put yourself in unnecessary danger.

One of Copenhagen’s most iconic locations is The Lakes. As the name suggests, it’s a group of lakes that carve through the city center and divide the inner districts from Copenhagen’s neighborhoods.
The Lakes are a popular meeting spot for Copenhageners, and you’ll find pretty big crowds throughout the year. You can walk around them at a casual pace, taking various detours to pop into the numerous cafés, restaurants, and pubs along the way.
Alternatively, you can go all-in and grab your running shoes. It’s a pretty easy route if you’re a beginner and scenic to match. It’s probably best to go early in the morning if you’re running, though, because it gets quite packed on those brighter and warmer summer evenings.

Situated in a position that allows Amalienborg to beautifully frame it, Frederiks Kirke, more commonly referenced as the Marble Church, adds to the beauty of the palatial complex.
Started in 1749, the church wasn't completed until 1894 and sports the largest dome in Scandinavia and one of the largest domes in Europe.
While simple, it is well worth a visit and has a beautiful interior with a wonderful dome.
While the cathedral itself is interesting, the best part of the church is actually the hardest to get to. Available twice a day, a guide offers trips up to the overlook above the dome. This is worth it for two reasons. First, the view out over Amalienborg Palace and the harbor towards the Opera house is fantastic and not something you'll see many photos of. Second, the path to the overlook actually takes you inside and above the dome. So, you'll get to see the void between the interior of the inner dome, and the exterior dome. Even more, you'll climb stairs that wrap over it—a fun thought when you consider what's just a few feet below you!

One of the world’s most modern Opera houses, the Copenhagen Opera House was opened in January 2005 and is the most expensive opera house built till now. The southern German Jura Gelb limestone clads the entire opera house and the foyer is made of Sicilian Perlatino marble, making it one of the must-visit tourist places in Copenhagen.
The walls are adorned with maple wood, the ceilings have sheets of 24-carat gold leaves and the decor also has four bronze reliefs and three light sculptures on the foyer.
