It has been more than 20 years since I visited the city. So I can't give a full list but I can give a hint of what sticks. I remember enjoying the art museum, and generally the appearance of this old European city. But the specific sight that is still clear in my memory is the statue of the Little Mermaid in the harbor.

The National Gallery

Statens Museum for Kunst, the Danish national gallery, is the only place in Denmark which features 700 years of Western art and cultural history under one roof. The museum houses a large collection of Danish and international paintings, sculptures, drawings, and installations. The museum is located in central Copenhagen near the Nørreport and Østerport stations, a short walk from the Castle of Rosenborg and the Botanical Gardens.

Kronborg Castle

Kronborg Castle is situated on the sea in Elsinore (Helsingør) and in clear weather you can get a clear view of Sweden across the sound.

The Castle was built between 1574- 85 during the reign of King Frederik II to keep and eye on and collect taxes from ships sailing through the narrow sound between Denmark and Sweden. This so-called Øresund-tax was for a long period an important income for Denmark.

The Castle burned down in 1629 but was rebuilt again in 1638. Kronborg contains the 62m-long Knight's Hall - one of the longest halls in Europe - and the famous statue of Holger Danske. Legend says that if Denmark is ever threatened, the stone figure will turn into flesh and blood and rise in defence of the kingdom.

Tivoli Gardens, the highly popular amusement park, is usually top of everyone's list of places to visit. Founded in 1843 it is a beautiful, romantic park with lanterns in the trees that create a unique atmosphere. It has a wealth of high-class restaurants and stages for music and theatre.

Top attraction in Copenhagen

Few minutes walk from the City Hall Square in the centre of Copenhagen, you will find Tivoli, no doubt among the top ten attractions in Copenhagen. Traditions in the form of an original pantomime theatre dating back to 1874, and brand new thrilling rides such as The Deamon a three-loop roller coaster, The Golden Tower with a fabulous view and a very fast drop! The Monsoon - may the G-force be with you! and many more.

Rock concerts on open air stage

Old and young alike will find entertainment - rock concerts every Friday on the open air stage and classical music, ballet and international performances at the Tivoli Concert Hall with a gigantic aquarium forming the back wall of the foyer. Tivoli is unique, old, traidtional as well as new and innovative.

Tivoli still offers everything a tourist may desire from a fairytale garden: 32 restaurants, 26 amusements, 400.000 flowers, 110.000 lamps, 150 concerts, artiste shows, Tivoli Boys Guard and international stars.

Viking Ship Museum

The Viking Ship Museum is located at the foot of Roskilde Fjord beside the Roskilde harbour, approximately 30 kilometres from Copenhagen. In 1962, five Viking ships were rescued and resurrected from the harbour.

The Museum was built to house and reconstruct these vessels. All five ships are vastly different. They were built for different purposes, different waters and by different Viking builders - and they all highlight the scope of Viking shipbuilding.

The museum has outgrown its initial role, and there are now other Nordic boats housed here. There is an artificial island next to the museum which houses archaeological workshops and educational institutions.
