Denmark Tourist Attractions

Copenhagen in Denmark is one of Europe's oldest capitals and home to the nation's parliament, government, and monarchy. It is a city suited for tourists and easy to explore. For visitors there are many theaters, museums, art galleries and musical entertainment choices which will make your stay in the royal city memorable.

Copenhagen City Hall Square in the center of the city can hold over 50.000 people for events. Cafes and pubs abound as Denmark is renowned for its beer including the world famous Carlsberg lager.

Copenhagen has a thriving nightlife. Dancing, live music, and jazz clubs are all popular night time attractions. Copenhagen's international casino draws large crowds interested in gambling. For opera lovers the Opera House in Copenhagen is one of Europe's most modern and impressive buildings and features top notch opera. Copenhagen has something for everyone! These attractions range from royal palaces and fairytale parks to a cosmopolitan nightlife and modern shopping experiences. This makes it possible for you to explore the central part of Copenhagen by walking. You will remark that Copenhagen is still free of skyscrapers, and the old classic buildings with green roofs and many spires are covered by corrugated cobber and give Copenhagen a special charm. One of the most visited tourist attractions of Copenhagen. Other obvious places to visit in Copenhagen are Glyptoteket, next to Tivioli. From Nyhavn you can walk to the living place of the royal family at Amalienborg, a rather small but charming castle build around a large open square. You might have to hurry up to Christiania, as the part of Copenhagen is now becoming more mainstream like other parts of Copenhagen.

After some days in Copenhagen you might like to visit other parts of Denmark. You can also take the train to the north of Copenhagen to the small city Ellsinore and visit the castle Kronborg, the famous castle of Shakespeare's Hamlet. With train you can easily cross the water to visit Sweden with the city Malmoe in half an hour from Copenhagen Central Station.

My first recommendation is a really terrific attraction called Den Gamle By, or The Old City. The ARoS is an art museum which houses both modern and classical art. Tivoli Friheden is an amusement park just south of the city and is similar to Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, but Friheden tends to be more about amusements and less about the gardens. Concert Hall Aarhus is another fantastic place to visit.
