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.

Head to National Gallery of Denmark and Torvehallernefor plenty of shopping. Get some cultural insight at Nyhavn and Stroeget. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Copenhagen: Kronborg (in Helsingoer) and Gudmindrup Beach (in Hoejby). There's lots more to do: get engrossed in the history at National Museum of Denmark, enjoy breathtaking views from Rundetarn, pause for some photo ops at The Little Mermaid, and pause for some serene contemplation at Frederiks Kirke (Marmorkirken).
