53 days in Copenhagen Itinerary

Founded in the 10th century as a Viking fishing village, Copenhagen has morphed into the cultural, political, and economic powerhouse of the country.

Your inner history buff will appreciate St. Alban's Church and Grundtvig Church (Grundtvigs Kirke). Get some cultural insight at Thorvaldsens Museum and The Open Air Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Copenhagen: Fredensborg Palace (in Fredensborg), Slagelse (Trelleborg Viking Fortress, PanzerMuseum East, &more) and Helsingoer (Karmeliterklostret, Sct. Mariæ Kirke, &more). There's much more to do: make a trip to Frederiksberg Slot, examine the collection at Sporvejsmuseet Skjoldenaesholm, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Frederiksborg Slotskirke, and stroll the grounds of Assistens Cemetery.
