Why you should visit Copenhagen
There are so many reasons why Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world, not only is it exceptionally beautiful with a rich cultural heritage, but it’s also renowned for its impeccable approach to design.
If you are planning a trip to Copenhagen, you won’t leave disappointed and whether you love design, food, architecture or shopping, you will find it in Denmark's most famous city.
From exploring the colourful and historic houses of Nyhavn and taking a tour of Frederiksberg Gardens to strolling around Rosenborg Gardens and embracing all things hygge, let’s explore the unforgettable city of Copenhagen!
The beautiful city of Copenhagen has no shortage of iconic attractions and experiences to add to your travel itinerary, but one of the most popular attractions (and the most fun!) has to be the Tivoli Gardens.
We aren’t alone in being huge fans as over 4 million visit the park every year and it is not surprising considering how much Tivoli has to offer.
Not interested in rollercoasters and rides, no worries! Tivoli Gardens really has something for everyone. You can admire the beautiful scenery which includes lush gardens, intriguing architecture, historic buildings and more that make for a stunning landscape.
Of course, it's synonymous with being the world's third-oldest amusement park which is said to have inspired both Hans Christian Andersen and Walt Disney. Thrill seekers will want to take a ride on the Demon rollercoaster with its three upside-down loop.
