Built in the 17th century, as a gateway to the city by sea, is Nyhavn, Copenhagen’s most famous canal. With its picturesque and colorful houses, the New Port has one of the most beautiful streets in the city,
which was once used as a fishing area. Now life is concentrated in its terraces, cafes and restaurants.
And if we talk about stories, the visit to the monument of The Little Mermaid cannot be missed on your tour. This meter-high bronze sculpture was created in the 20th century, and today it is the icon of the city.
After visiting the statue and taking lots of pictures, don’t miss the Kastellet fortress, located in a park full of tranquility and beauty. Inside you will find a mill and a Protestant church.
Continuing the tour of the metropolis, we find Stroget Street, an essential visit in Copenhagen. It is the longest pedestrian in Europe, stretching from the Place del Town Hall to the New Place of King; it is an ideal area for walking and shopping.
If we delve into the incredible architecture that Copenhagen has, Rosenborg Castle is worth a visit. This old palace from the seventeenth century is surrounded by a garden that gives it a charming appearance. Don’t forget your camera to take a picture!
Continuing with the palaces we find the Amalienborg Palace and the Marble Church. The first works as the official residence of the royal family during the winter, and is made up of four large Rococo-style buildings. While the Church is in the Baroque style, inspired by St. Peter’s Cathedral in the Vatican.
To finish the route, you must go to the Round Tower. This 17th-century building houses one of the oldest astronomical observatories in Europe, and stands out for its architecture.
A perfect place for visitors of any age to enjoy in Copenhagen is undoubtedly the Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. Roller coasters, carousels, carnival games and shooting galleries, Tivoli offers fun for all tastes.
Its history begins in 1843 when it first opened its doors. Its founder, George Carstensen, convinced King Christian VIII to acquire the current land of Tivoli to build the recreational place that the monarch wanted so much. That is why, next to the main entrance of the park, you can see the statue dedicated to Carstensen.
With the construction of the Town Hall and the Central Station around Tivoli, the park was located in the heart of the Danish capital. In addition, it receives almost four million foreign visitors annually.
