7 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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Stevns Klint and Fanefjord Church. Do some cultural sightseeing at Dragsholm Castle and National Gallery of Denmark. Get out of town with these interesting Copenhagen side-trips: Holtug Kridtbrud (in Store Heddinge), Eskebjerg Vesterlyng (in Eskebjerg) and Gudmindrup Beach (in Hoejby). And it doesn't end there: grab your bike and head to Bike the City, trek along Fjordstien, Cykel Og Vandresti, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Roskilde Domkirke, and look for all kinds of wild species at Avno Naturcenter.
