The Exchange Social Program gives you some of the highlights of Copenhagen. However, there is much more to see. Here is a list of sights that we recommend. TIVOLI A new fairytale – every day. The romantic Tivoli Amusement Park is a glorious blend of tradition and modern technology.
CHRISTIANIA Is a free town within the city. This controversial area is loved by many, but has been heavily debated especially because of the locals relaxed view on hash and their, at times, quite anarchistic statements.
CHRISTIANSBORG PALACE Houses the Danish Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister’s Office.
GLYPTOTEKET A world class art museum, containing two main departments of ancient and modern art. Admission is free on Tuesdays.
AMALIENBORG PALACE Is the residence of the Danish royal family. The palace is considered one of the greatest works of Danish Rococo architecture. It is made up of four identical buildings spread around the octagonal courtyard.
THE LITTLE MERMAID Is located at Langelinje Pier and is one of Copenhagen’s most important tourist attractions. The story of the Little Mermaid is from writer Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale by the same name.
33 SIGHTS OUTSIDE OF COPENHAGEN
There are also a lot of great sights outside of Copenhagen. Here is a list of sights that we recommend. KRONBORG CASTLE In Helsingør lays Kronborg, the castle made famous by Shakespeare’s royal tragedy, “Hamlet”. It is a striking Renaissance castle and monumental military fortress, surrounded by major fortifications with bastions and ravelins.
LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Lousiana’s changing exhibitions bring world class art to the forefront of the Danish art scene. You can always be sure to take in refreshing and innovative contemporary art as well as modernist classics when you visit Lousiana in Humlebæk.
VIKING SHIP MUSEUM The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is the Danish museum for ships, seafaring and boatbuilding culture in ancient and medieval times. The Museum was established in 1969 precisely where archaeologist found and started the excavation of the six well preserved Viking ships in 1962.
FREDERIKSBORG CASTLE Frederiksborg Castle is located in Hillerød in the Northern part of Sjælland. It was built in the beginning of the 1600s by King Christian 4. It is the largest Renaissance Castle in Scandinavia surrounded by a Baroque garden and a beautiful picturesque park. The Castle accommodates the Museum of National History.
