Copenhagen, Denmark
Things to do in Copenhagen
Everything in the Atlas for Copenhagen: places to see and things to do, in one list.
Tivoli Gardens
Opened 1843 and the second-oldest amusement park still running. Walt Disney visited twice and took notes; the wooden roller coaster still has a brakeman riding in it.
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
A brewer's collection: Mediterranean antiquity downstairs, French impressionism upstairs, and a winter garden with a palm house in the middle of both.
Rosenborg Castle
A Renaissance summer house in the middle of town, holding the crown jewels in a basement that feels far too casual for what is in it.
Swim in the harbour
Free, supervised in summer, and the result of thirty years of cleaning up a working port.
Smørrebrød in the correct order
Herring first, then fish, then meat, then cheese, with aquavit between — a lunch that takes three hours and is meant to.
This page exists because Copenhagen has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Copenhagen.
