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.

Danish history is brought to life at The National Museum of Denmark Meet the Danes of today and of the past. Go for a guided walk with a local insider who will elaborate on Danish welfare, the country’s free spirit and what “hygge” really means. And finally, hear from the Danes in the 9th Century; the Vikings who were feared and renowned all over Europe. See the remains of the people who lost their lives in the tribal wars of The Stone Age. The woman who survived a blow to the head with a stone axe and later covered her mutilated head with a hat. See the treasures that the Vikings brought with them from their travels to England and The Mediterranean. Or experience the axe that in 1772 severed the head of one of the main characters of Danish history’s most dramatic love affair. On your way out, grab a Danish souvenir from the museum’s gift shop - and if you get hungry, you can always eat typically Nordic dishes at the appraised restaurant Smor.

For me, the most interesting museum in Copenhagen. There are lots of exhibits You can find here everything about the history of the Danes, starting with prehistory, passing to the Vikings, the Middle Ages and modern times. Danish explorers, lifestyle over time, weapons, jewelry, household items, art, etc. There is a café in the central atrium. You need at least 3 hours to see it all. As a minus, I think it would be necessary a better marked route to follow through the museum, to know what you saw and what did not.

This square is super charming indeed. Though it’s located inside the city center and around it there’s traffic, shopping streets, it’s really quiet and beautiful. There is a tree in the middle and some benches to rest on while contemplating the beauty of the buildings. It is definitely a must visit.

There are a wide range of shops available to peruse from Royal Copenhagen (a must see) to LEGO (for the kids of course!). There are shops here for everyone. Scandanavian flair and design is on show here. Allow yourself plenty of time as it is quite some distance. There are also some really excellent shops in some of the side streets that run into Stroeget that are really worth spending time in as well. Enjoy yourselves - we certainly did!!!

We arrived in Copenhagen on 14/3/20 for a short city break to learn that the whole city was in lock down due to the Corona Virus. Great timing eh. As a result ,All public buildings were closed to the public, so we did not expect to gain entry and we were not disappointed. The highlight of our visit was photographing the exterior and more importantly the famous spire, made up by 4 intertwined dragon tails. In my opinion its the best spire in town.

Copenhagen Cathedral, Vor Frue Kirke, is situated on Frue Plads, next to the main building of the University of Copenhagen. It was designed by Christian Frederik Hansen in the Neoclassical style and was completed in 1829. It replaces previous churches on the site dating back to the late 12th century. The last cathedral on this site fell victim to the bombardment of Copenhagen by the British Royal Navy in September, 1807. It is therefore not the oldest of Danish churches, but is in my opinion, certainly the most elegant and grand! It was designated one of Denmark's National Cathedrals in 1924. The church building measures 83 metres in length, is 33 metres in width and can seat more than 1100 parishioners. The bell tower is 60 metres in height and houses the four church bells. Stormklokken (1828), at four tons, is the largest bell in Denmark and the tower's smallest bell, is the countries oldest, dating from 1490. The other two bells date from 1699 and 1876. The interior is decorated with sculptures by the famous Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. These include the twelve Apostles, one in front of each of the nave's piers, and in a niche in front of the altar, the Risen Christ. The baptismal font at the front, in the form of an angel holding a large scallop shell, was Bertel's gift to the Cathedral. This is an inspiring church to be in. I would recommend that you schedule your visit to be on a Sunday so you that can attend a church service here. Regardless, do be sure to visit!
