Are you travelling to somewhere and have a quick layover in Copenhagen for a few hours or perhaps even a whole day. Instead of spending it looking at the screen of departures and arrivals, shopping in overpriced shops or trying to nap on uncomfortable metal benches, hop on the metro line and explore Copenhagen for whatever time you have. In this guide you can read all about what to see, eat and even where you can get a lapdance in copenhagen.

Christianshavn

If you don’t have all the time in the world, but still want see some of the Danish capitol, then go to Christianshavn, located on the artificial islands between Zealand and Amager. Here you can stroll along the beautiful canals and – if you have an interest in history - see some of the old military fortifications that once guarded Copenhagen.

Tivoli

Tivoli is one of the city’s most famous landmarks and for good reason. Located right in the middle of the city, this amusement park is one of the oldest in the world. Here you can try some of the exciting rollercoasters or look at the beautiful flower arrangements that the park is famous for. Or hop in a boat and take a trip on the beautiful artificial lake.

Nyhavn

If you have seen a postcard from Copenhagen, chances are that it was a picture of Nyhavn. This old canal is surrounded by some of the city’s most iconic pieces of architecture. Brightly colored townhouses line either side of the canal and there are plenty of cafés and restaurants to enjoy the scenery from.

Freetown Christiania

Freetown Christiania is a small and unique community and commune in the neighborhood of Christianshavn and is one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions. This place is famous for its long and tense history with Danish authorities and for its open trade of cannabis, which is otherwise illegal in the rest of Denmark.
