We don’t usually list the top places to visit in Copenhagen, but we do know that there are many tourist attractions worth visiting, even if your stay is only a few days.
What is Copenhagen famous for? These are the most important and fascinating Copenhagen points of interest, regardless of how busy you are.
Copenhagen’s Harbor
Ok, I admit it, I said that this would be a non-touristy tour guide and that this was the most touristy suggestion of all time – but I’m serious. Nyhavn is Copenhagen’s most famous spot. Tourists and locals alike see Copenhagen’s colorful buildings lined along the canal. This spot should be on every itinerary.
Nyhavn is a popular tourist destination. It’s also very expensive, but stunning and it’s completely worth it.
My suggestion for Nyhavn is to visit, take some photos and then leave. Nyhavn restaurants are not recommended for eating and drinking along the canals. These restaurants are expensive and of poor quality compared to other gems scattered throughout the city.
The touristy suggestions are over. It’s now time to move on.
Mermaid Statue
Visitors to Copenhagen must see the iconic Little Mermaid statue. It is located just a 10-minute walk from the cruise ship dock. The statue, which is less than five feet high, sits on a rock close to the shore and not in the center of the harbor.
Hans Christian Andersen was the author of “The Little Mermaid”, a fairy tale about a little girl. Carlsberg Breweries founder, Carlsberg Breweries was so fascinated with the story, he had the statue created in 1909.
Although the Little Mermaid statue has been sitting on her boulder since August 23, 2013, it has experienced a turbulent life with at least eight vandalism attempts. She was repeatedly dowsed with paint, had her right arm amputated, decapitated three times more, and even pushed off her rock. The mold was created by the sculptor. The bronze castings of the Little Mermaid were made from the original mold.
Rosenborg Castle
A visit to a castle is something that most people look forward to when they visit the Scandinavian region. The Rosenborg is one castle you must see when visiting Denmark. This Renaissance-style castle was originally built as a summer residence in 1606 and is one of the architectural structures Christian IV is credited with.
In 1707, the regents used the castle as a castle. In times of war or fire, the Rosenborg was used as an emergency residence. The castle is now open to the public as state property. Guests can admire the crown jewels of Denmark and the Danish Crown Regalia.

Frederiks Kirke
This church was constructed by NicolaiElgtved to commemorate the 300-year anniversary of the coronation of the House of Oldenburg. It is the largest dome in Scandinavia and was inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica (Rome). It is also known as the Marble Church and serves as Frederiksstaden’s main point of attraction.
Frederiks Kirke is stunning from the outside. But inside, you’ll find intricate carvings on the walls, ceilings, and interior of the dome. Its stained glass windows are filled with angels. Frederiks Kirke’s entire dome measures thirty-one meters (101.7 feet) in length and rests upon twelve columns.
Christiansborg Castle
Christiansborg Castle Square is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It houses a number of government buildings including the Parliament, Supreme Court, and Prime Minister’s offices. Although the royal family hasn’t lived in Christianborg for more than 200 years, they still use the palace for special occasions. Although you can’t walk around the palace on your own, the English-language tour of the palace takes 50 minutes.
Enter the wooden door that is behind the horse statue to find the Christiansborg Palace Tours entrance. Next, walk past the Christianborg Ruins entrance, into the courtyard, and then up the stairs to your right.
This tour provides great information about Denmark’s royal family and its connections to other European royals. The collection of modern wall tapestries, presented by Gobelin in Paris to the Queen, is the highlight of the tour.
