57 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.

Appreciate the collections at Davids Samling (The David Collection) and M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark. Thorvaldsens Museum and Grundtvig Church (Grundtvigs Kirke) are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Copenhagen: The Karen Blixen Museum (in Rungsted), Hillerod (Frederiksborg Slotskirke, Det Nationalhistoriske Museum, &more) and Helsingoer (Helsingor Havn, Kronborg, &more).

The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at Stevns Klint, take in the waterfront at Islands Brygge, explore the world behind art at The Hirschsprung Collection (Den Hirschsprungske Samling), and stroll through Amager Strandpark.
