As the city of fairy tales, Copenhagen is known for its canals, pastries and happy citizenry. There are many world-class museums, such as the Glyptoteket (with displays of ancient and modern art), the Design Museum of Denmark (exhibiting interior and industrial design elements) and the National Museum of Denmark (highlighting Danish and European culture). It’s hard to believe that a waste-to-energy plant could be a must-see attraction, but the CopenHill plant is a one-of-a-kind structure that features a ski slope, climbing wall and café. There are plenty of activities in the city for families, including the Experimentarium interactive science museum and the Copenhagen Zoo. Visitors of all ages will enjoy Tivoli Gardens, the classic amusement park located in the centre of the city. Enjoy a stroll through the port of Nyhavn, where you’ll find colourful rowhouses, casual eateries and wonderful views of the harbour. You can even spend a day at the beach; there are several beaches in or near the city, including Bellevue Beach and the Kastrup Sea Bath. Back in town, you can shop ‘til you drop along the pedestrian avenue of Strøget, where you can explore the shops and boutiques that cater to both modest and high-end budgets.
