8 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (in Humlebaek), Kronborg (in Helsingoer) and Frederiksborg Castle (in Hillerod). The adventure continues: steep yourself in history at Rosenborg Castle, appreciate the history behind The Little Mermaid, take an in-depth tour of National Museum of Denmark, and try out the rides at Tivoli Gardens.
