Tailor-Made Copenhagen City Breaks

Copenhagen at a glance

As Denmark’s vibrant capital, Copenhagen is a fascinating place to visit, offering royal heritage alongside cutting-edge design and urban living that is the envy of most major cities.

With so many locals living in central Copenhagen it is easy for a visitor to feel part of the city rather than just another tourist. The city is easily walkable, but there’s an efficient and extensive public transport network. Ask us about ordering a Copenhagen Card before you travel, as it not only gives you access to the transport network but also some of the city’s prime attractions.

One such attraction is the Tivoli Gardens, a family-friendly amusement park with a range of historic buildings, traditional fairground rides, terrifying modern rollercoasters, stunning gardens and evening summer concerts. Next door you’ll find the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, a large museum and gallery full of art and antiquities, with a magnificent palm house at its centre.

A stroll along the waterfront of Nyhavn Harbour is a must, with its colourful buildings and bustling bars and restaurants. From here, take a boat trip to view one of the city’s most famous landmarks, the Little Mermaid, or simply glide along its many canals and waterways.

You’ll find Copenhagen’s restaurant scene is varied and lively, and it’s not just the weekends you’ll find locals dining out. Cross the Queen Louise’s Bridge to Norrebro, a district often overlooked by visitors but full of independent shops, booksellers, cafés and restaurants.

You could tick off a second Scandi country with a day trip to Malmö - it’s just 45 minutes by train! Call us on 0131 243 8098 for details or make an enquiry here.
