What to see in Copenhagen

1. Nyhavn
   Nyhavn is Copenhagen's "new harbour", a canal lined with colourful facades and old wooden ships.
2. Tivoli
   Tivoli is an amusement garden in the middle of Copenhagen, right next to the central station, where old-fashioned rides sit among flower beds, pavilions and a lake.
3. Petite Sirène
   The Little Mermaid is a bronze statue perched on a rock at the water's edge, inspired by Andersen's fairy tale.
4. Palais d'Amalienborg
   Four identical palace façades face each other around an octagonal square, with an equestrian statue of Frederik V at its center.
5. Château de Rosenborg
   This compact castle of brick and sandstone began as a summer house for Christian IV, and it still feels like a royal home rather than a grand formal palace.
6. Christiania
   Christiania is a self-governed neighbourhood set in former military barracks, where you wander between handbuilt houses, workshops and murals.
7. Torvehallerne
   Two glass halls beside Nørreport station where you can see, smell and taste Danish food as it is cooked today, from raw ingredients to ready-to-eat dishes.
8. Strøget
   Strøget is a chain of pedestrian streets linking City Hall Square to Kongens Nytorv, right in the heart of old Copenhagen.
