Things to do in Copenhagen, Zealand: The Best Architectural Buildings

February 24, 2022 Alice Mieles

Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, and you can still find traces of the Norse explorers here. Visit reconstructed villages, the remains of a 1,000-year-old castle, and museums dedicated to the notorious raiders. Copenhagen also features a blend of modern architecture and historical artifacts such as the Round Tower observatory – a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture. Art galleries, narrow streets, canals, parks, and Baroque churches round out the city’s cultural attractions.

Grundtvig Church is one of the most unique looking churches i've been to. It's grand expressionist exterior facade is matched by an equally stunning interior.

Oldest public museum in Denmark: devoted to the neoclassicistic artist Bertel Thorvaldsen who donated his life’s works and collection to his native city, this museum from 1848 is the oldest museum in the world devoted to one artist and sublime in having different floors and ceilings to set off the marble statues or statues in plaster-of- paris.from outside it is a festive building with its friese showing Thorvaldsen’s homecoming in 1838.

Amalienborg

Amalienborg offers two royal experiences that let you get close to royal history through the last 250 years. In Christian VIII’s Palace the museum offers an insight into royal life past and present. You can see the private chambers of former kings and queens and, on most days, there is also admittance to the royal reception rooms (check periods at our website) from the museum. In Christian VII’s Palace you can walk in the footsteps of the royal guests, and be shown round the magnificent rooms where grand festivities are held. You can book a guided tour of Christian VII’s Palace in the ticket office of Christian VIII’s Palace or on our website. Remember that every day at noon you can watch the changing of the The Royal Danish Life Guards.

Beautiful interior, obviously only allowed in a small area due to it still being used as a royal residence. Recommend going during changing of the guard ceremony, which was interesting (and free) to watch.
