1. CopenHot
The chilly temperatures of Denmark don’t matter when you have CopenHot right at the harbor. Here, you can book sessions for the sauna, hot tubs, and the plunge pool (if you’re feeling brave enough!).
These outdoor wooden tubs offer visitors the chance to watch the boats go by while relaxing with friends. You’ll feel like a true Dane after your first time.
2. The Church of Our Saviour
This city has a unique spire attached to its church, which has become rather intriguing for people to climb and not just look at.
You can pop into the church and make your way up the spire to take in the stunning views of the canals and the city below from the top.
Even if you’re not a fan of heights, this spire certainly makes a good picture!
3. Assistens Kirkegård (Assistens Cemetery)
During your time in the city, you’ll likely come across the Little Mermaid Statue, a tribute to the author Hans Christian Andersen.
However, if you’d like to go one step further and see where he is buried, then head to Assistens Cemetery.
This cemetery is home to many famous Danes and its luscious green paths and quiet surroundings.
4. Nyboder Houses
One for the architect lovers is the rows and rows of yellow terraced houses known as the Nyboder House.
These were originally intended for use as the Navy Barracks, but nowadays, they are filled with families and visitors living in, what looks like, some kind of film set.
5. Puk Restaurant
No matter where you’ve traveled from, there’s no doubt that you’ll be wanting to try out some authentic Danish food and leave your home cuisine, well, at home, for now.
For a truly mouth-watering experience, check out the Puk Restaurant, where you will have the chance to try out the best of the best traditional Danish food.
In an 18th century basement, no less! This restaurant is well worth putting an evening aside for!
6. Rosnaes Wine Region
Wine and Copenhagen aren’t often featured in the same sentence. However, would you believe it, Denmark has its own wine region!
You can travel to the Rosnaes peninsula, which is just 45 minutes from the center, to tour the vineyards, taste the wine, and unwind in the sun.
7. Kongens Have (The King’s Gardens)
The Rosenborg Castle and gardens are an exciting way to spend a few hours.
Here, you’ll be able to watch the changing of the guard, walk the well-manicured paths, stop for a coffee in the cafe, take in the culture of the art gallery, and finish off your trip with a look around the garden’s shop!
8. Reffen Street Food
Street food is not the kind of thing that most people think of or associate with Denmark.
However, Copenhagen has a fantastic street food option that you would be crazy to miss.
Between April and October, you can go to Reffen Street Food park, along the harbor, and check out the sprawls of outdoor food trucks and delicious flavors in the indoor food hall.
Alongside the street food, you’ll always get the chance to listen to live music and watch various entertainment all before you finish off your day with a drink by the harbor as the sunsets!
Things to Remember Before You Travel
Paperwork
Ensure you have the correct visa and other travel documents before you set off.
There are different requirements of documents depending on which country you’re coming from so confirm this beforehand.
Emergency Numbers
While it’s unlikely, you may find yourself without your mobile phone.
If this happens, you’ll want to get in touch with a family member, your hotel, etc., so keep a little list of your person of important numbers you’ll need if you’re ever in this situation.
VPN Usage
Protecting your private data while traveling is essential, and the best way to do this is with a free VPN Chrome download.
Undoubtedly, you’ll need the internet throughout your trip to look at maps, find information, or look for local activities.
But, using a public WiFi such as the hotel’s or a coffee shop opens your connection up to potentially being hacked, and all your personal information and files were stolen.
Connect to a VPN with Chrome before joining a public WiFi connection and keep yourself completely safe.
