Go See Copenhagen

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark,a city i have visited many times, is a vibrant city known for its rich history, modern architecture, and green spaces. Nestled on the eastern coast of the island of Zealand,
Copenhagen is a very walkable city,so lets start at osterbro and walk
to the little mermaid by the harbour,
It was commissioned in august 1913 and created by the artist Edward erikson,it is bronze and just over four feet in height,the statue is based on Hans Christian Andersons famous fairy tale,the little mermaid.The face of the mermaid was modelled after the ballerina ellen price.
Walking along, with the harbour to your left you will shortly arrive at Ameilienborg palace,the official residence of the danish royal family.
Consisting of four identical classical palace façades surrounding an octagonal courtyard,you might be lucky enough to witness the daily Changing of the Guard ceremony,at midday, as it marches through Kongens Nytorv onto the palace ,With its rich heritage and regal presence, Amalienborg Palace is a must-see landmark in Copenhagen.

While your there head over to the marble church which you can see from the courtyard,i think it may close on the weekend,but its well worth a visit,
The Marble Church, officially known as Frederik's Church is a prominent and historic church located in the Frederiksstaden district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Here are some key details about the church:
The church's construction began in 1749, initiated by King Frederik V as part of a grand plan to develop the Frederiksstaden district in celebration of the 300th anniversary of the House of Oldenburg.The original architect was Nicolai Eigtved, but the project faced numerous delays and financial difficulties, leading to its halt.
Construction resumed in 1874 under the direction of architect Ferdinand Meldahl and was completed in 1894, more than 145 years after it began.

The church is designed in the Rococo style, characterized by its elaborate decorations and grandiose form.
One of its most distinctive features is its large dome, which is one of the largest in Scandinavia. The dome has a span of 31 meters and is supported by 12 columns.
The exterior of the church is adorned with statues of prominent figures from Danish history, including various saints and bishops.
The interior of the Marble Church is equally impressive, with a richly decorated altar, beautiful frescoes, and detailed marble work.
The church can accommodate around 800 people and is a popular venue for weddings and other ceremonies.
Once you have spend time in the marble church you can walk back to the harbour and journey along the harbour to Nyhavn,
a picturesque 17th-century water front which is famous for its colorful townhouses, historic wooden ships, and vibrant atmosphere.
A favourite of mine every time I visit. Stretching from Kongens Nytorv to the harbor front, Nyhavn is lined with bustling cafes, restaurants, and bars,

From kongens nytorv you can walk towards the lakes,one of my favourite places in copenhagen,
The Lakes in Copenhagen — known locally as "Søerne" — are a series of three rectangular lakes right in the heart of the city. They’re very popular for walking, jogging, and chilling out.
The Lakes in Copenhagen have an interesting history,Back in the 16th century, the lakes weren’t even lakes,they were marshland and part of the city's fortifications.
The area was dammed and turned into artificial lakes to supply drinking water and power watermills.
The lakes were part of Copenhagen's defense system.
The three bodies of water made it harder for enemies to attack from the west and north.
Controlled by dams and sluices, the water level could be adjusted to flood surrounding land in case of an invasion.
When your in copenhagen try and use the metro as much as possible,its cheap and gives you great access to most of the city.you can but a ticket from the machine each time you use it or purchase a travel card,which you top up when needed,and just tap in and out as you go.
Some other places i haven't mentioned such as Tivoli Gardens, located in the heart of Copenhagen, is one of the world's most famous amusement parks and a beloved cultural landmark. Opened on August 15, 1843, by Georg Carstensen, Tivoli Gardens is the second-oldest operating amusement park globally, only surpassed by Dyrehavsbakken, also in Denmark.
the park's iconic wooden roller coaster, Rutschebanen, built in 1914, is one of the oldest of its kind still in operation and provides a nostalgic thrill. If thats what your into.
If you want to get to see the oldest operating amusement park you will have to travel out of the city,ideally by car,to Bakken,nestled in the beautiful woods of Dyrehaven just north of Copenhagen,
Established in 1583, Bakken has a rich history rooted in Danish tradition and leisure. The park originally began when a natural spring was discovered in the area, drawing Copenhageners to the woods for its clean water and festive gatherings. Over time, entertainers, food vendors, and rides were added, transforming the spot into a full-fledged amusement destination.
Set against the serene backdrop of the royal hunting grounds of Dyrehaven, Bakken offers a unique blend of nature and amusement. Guests can enjoy a picnic under the trees, take a horse-drawn carriage ride, or simply soak in the fresh forest air before diving back into the lively atmosphere of the park.

Another favourite of mine is amager,just grap the metro and head towards the airport,a fantastic place if you just want sea breeze and soft sand
