15 days in Copenhagen Itinerary

Founded in the 10th century as a Viking fishing village, Copenhagen has morphed into the cultural, political, and economic powerhouse of the country.

Get out of town with these interesting Copenhagen side-trips: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (in Humlebaek), Helsingoer (Kronborg, M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark, &more) and Stevns Klint (in Store Heddinge). And it doesn't end there: take a stroll through Stroeget, get in on the family fun at Tivoli Gardens, stop by Christiania, and ponder the world of politics at Christiansborg Slot.
