Take a stroll down Stroget, the oldest (and longest) pedestrian-only street in Europe, walk around the Latin Quarter, watch the changing of the guard at the Amalienborg Palace or take a tour through some of the rooms of the Palace now open to the public. For a cultural experience, visit one or more of the many museums, churches, castles and palaces or to get a breathtaking view of Copenhagen walk to the top of the Round Tower in the old town. A must-see for visitors to Copenhagen is ‘The Little Mermaid’ (of Hans Christian Andersen fame)

Copenhagen offers shoppers everything from Antiques, locally made porcelain, glassware, silver and china to chic designer labels and Scandinavian knitwear. The locals love their food and you will find the cafes and restaurants have a friendly atmosphere and offer culinary delights to suit all tastes.

Excursions
Excursions in and around Copenhagen include walks around the old town, open-top bus tours, boat cruises along the many canals, harbour cruises, coach tours to the island of Amager (with it’s Dutch heritage). Tours are also available to the outlying castles and palaces or for something different take a train trip to Malmo in Sweden for the day.

Family
Copenhagen has something to offer all the family. Attractions especially for the children include a visit to the Zoo and Aquarium, or spend a day at fairyland Tivoli Gardens with its beautiful gardens and Amusement Park.
