Kopenhagen
Copenhagen is one of our absolute must-visit cities in Europe. It may not have the same “big landmark” feel as Paris or London, but it has something different — an effortless charm, great vibes, incredible food, and beautiful design everywhere you look.
We love starting the day at Mad & Kaffe, where you build your own breakfast like tapas — every little dish feels fresh, thoughtful, and honestly, a dream. From there, it’s perfect to wander along the main shopping streets, stop into Scandinavian boutiques, and soak up the city’s cool, relaxed style.
Make sure to detour to Torvehallerne. The glass food market is full of gourmet stalls, fresh pastries, and Nordic specialties. Grab a glass of champagne at the small bar and try the famous smørrebrød — especially from Hallernes. Definitely a must-see.
A walk toward the Little Mermaid is also worth it. On the way, you pass elegant historic buildings and the royal square at Amalienborg, where you really feel the spirit of the Danish monarchy. Continue on to Nyhavn and you’ll see the colorful houses reflected in the water — picture-perfect.
Copenhagen is beautiful even after dark. Warm lights, cozy cafés, and the glow along the harbor make the city feel calm, welcoming, and incredibly atmospheric.
Nyhavn is Copenhagen’s most iconic waterfront, lined with colorful 17th-century townhouses and lively cafés. Once a busy commercial port, it’s now a beautiful place to stroll, sit by the water, and watch the boats. At sunset, the atmosphere becomes especially magical — perfect for photos, dinner, or just soaking up the city vibe.

The Copenhagen Opera House is one of the most modern and impressive opera buildings in the world, located right on the waterfront opposite Amalienborg Palace. Designed by architect Henning Larsen, it combines bold contemporary architecture with outstanding acoustics.
The bridge tower rises like a small lookout above the water, offering sweeping views over the harbor and the passing boats. Once used to control bridge traffic and keep watch over the canals, it’s now an eye-catching reminder of the city’s maritime history.

The old carousel in Tivoli Gardens spins slowly under a canopy of lights, full of nostalgia and charm. The wooden horses, painted in soft colors, feel like they’ve carried generations of visitors. It’s whimsical, romantic, and one of those timeless moments that make Tivoli so magical.
Along the harbor, small boats are tied to the docks with thick ropes, gently moving with the water. They look calm and timeless, like they’ve been waiting there for years. It’s one of those little scenes that shows how closely Copenhagen lives with the sea.

Ice skating near Nyhavn feels wonderfully festive in winter. Just a short walk away, the rink at Kongens Nytorv lets you glide past twinkling lights and historic buildings while the city buzzes around you.
