New Harbor
New Harbor is a 17th-century canal district that retains its historic charm to this day. Colorful old townhouses and historic mansions line both sides of the canal, their vibrant facades reflecting on the water, creating a striking contrast in architectural styles. The north side is bustling with numerous bars and restaurants, making it perfect for casual gatherings, while the south side is relatively quiet. Both sides offer unique charm for photography. Several historic wooden ships are moored in the canal year-round and can be viewed up close. The fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen once lived here, and a commemorative plaque in the district records this history. Taking a canal cruise from here is a classic way to experience the charm of the city's waterways. You can explore by walking along the canal or by taking a boat to admire the architecture from the water.Denmark · Copenhagen

Amalienborg Palace
Amalienborg is where the Danish royal family lives. During the reign of Christian VII in 1794, a fire broke out in Christiansborg, forcing the royal family to relocate to Amalienborg for refuge. Later, Frederick V decided to build it into a Rococo style building, so Amalienborg, which was originally four aristocratic mansions, became a magnificent palace. In honor of the king, an equestrian statue of Frederick V was built, which stands in the center of the Octagon at the Royal Palace. The four old buildings are the Palace of Christian VII built in 1754, which is now the reception hall of the royal family, the Palace of Christian VIII, the Palace of Christian IX completed in 1758, and the Philippine residence where Queen Ingrid lived. The Palace of Theresa VIII. Christian VIII's palace was officially opened in 1994, displaying objects used by the royal family until 1947. When the Queen of Denmark is in the palace, the national flag will be raised on the roof. At that time, you can know whether the Queen is in the palace in front of you. Maybe, she is quietly looking at the square with a telescope. Oh crowd. The Royal Band will depart from the palace at 11:30 in the morning and return to the palace after detouring around the old city, and will perform the changing of the guard ceremony on the square at 12:00. Don't miss out on such a special program.Denmark · Copenhagen
Rosenborg Castle
The Rosenborg Castle is a fairytale palace and one of Copenhagen's landmarks. It was purposely built in 1634 as the summer residence of Christian IV. It was designed in the Dutch Renaissance style, with bronze eaves and red brick walls being the main features. Before King Frederick IV completed Frederick Castle, three previous kings lived here. After 1883, it became the treasure house of successive kings, displaying many cultural relics such as decorations, gorgeous costumes, paintings and pottery. Here, you'll find opulent marble ceilings, priceless Dutch tapestries, lion statues cast in sterling silver, and utensils made of sterling gold. In addition, the Danish crown is also stored in the basement of the palace.Denmark · Copenhagen
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is located in Langelinie Park in the northeast of downtown Copenhagen, Denmark. It was cast by a Danish sculptor based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid." The bronze statue was unveiled in Langelinie Park in 1913. With over a century of history, it is a world-famous bronze statue and a symbol of Copenhagen, attracting countless tourists. The Little Mermaid is only 1.5m tall, about the height of a teenager. From a distance, this human-bodied, fish-tailed The Little Mermaid sits on a huge rock, looking quiet, elegant, and leisurely. If you look closer, however, The Little Mermaid appears to be a sad young girl. Visitors here can observe the facial features of The Little Mermaid in detail. This beautiful statue has had its head cut off by thieves multiple times, so the head of The Little Mermaid you see now was replaced later and is not the original. Concerned that too many tourists might damage the bronze statue, the local government relocated The Little Mermaid further out into the sea in March 2006. Today, when you come to Langelinie Park, you can only view The Little Mermaid in the water from outside the fence along the shore and take photos with it from across the fence. Please note that there are many tourists outside the fence, so please be careful when taking photos.Denmark · Copenhagen
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
In 1888, Carlsberg, the founder of Carlsberg beer, and his wife, Odilia, donated their life-long collection of artworks to establish this museum. The whole building was completed in 1897, and the appearance of the museum is gorgeous and exquisite. In order to attract the public to visit, the space and lighting here have also been specially designed, creating a quiet visiting environment. The museum mainly displays sculptures or sarcophagi of ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Etruria, Rome and Greece.Denmark · Copenhagen
LEGOLAND® Billund Resort
The world-famous Legoland LEGO is located in Billund, a small town on the east coast of Jutland, Denmark. Since its opening in 1968, millions of tourists have come to visit every year. Walking into Legoland is like walking into a mini fairy tale world. Oncoming is a fairy tale atmosphere like spring, with laughter in your ears and colorful colors in your eyes.

Each piece of art is made of plastic building blocks in a ratio of 1:20 to the real object.Denmark · Billund
National Museum of Denmark

In 1807, it officially became the National Museum. It houses the collections of the palace treasury since 1650 and historical materials related to Danish culture, and is also the largest museum in Denmark. The 3-story high building displays many antiquities of Danish prehistoric culture, the Viking Age, the Middle Ages, and the daily necessities and precious cultural relics of the Eskimos living in Greenland.

Among them, the bronze "Dorrent's Sun Carriage" from 1400 BC is a very valuable cultural relic here. It was discovered in 1902 and has precious research value.Denmark · Copenhagen
Grundtvig’s Church
Grundtvig’s Church is one of the few Expressionist-style churches in the world. Its signature feature is the west facade: the nearly 50m-high bell tower overlaps with layered, stepped gables, its silhouette resembling a giant pipe organ pointing toward the sky. Except for the baptismal font and the roof, the entire building is constructed almost entirely of millions of handmade yellow bricks, which have a warm tone and blend seamlessly with the surrounding yellow-brick residential complex built during the same period. Stepping inside, rows of yellow brick columns rise toward the pointed arches and ribbed vaults. With almost no ornamentation, the space is simple and ethereal, looking especially moving when daylight pours down from the high windows.Denmark · Copenhagen
H. C. Andersens House
The Andersen House Museum is located in the ancient city of Odense. It was originally the birthplace and childhood residence of the world-famous fairy tale master Andersen.

The museum was originally built in Andersen's former residence, but with the expansion of Andersen's reputation and the influence of his works, the number of tourists here continued to increase. The original museum could no longer meet the needs of tourists, so it was expanded twice: once in 1930. , for the 125th anniversary of Andersen's birth; another in 1975, for the 100th anniversary of Andersen's death.Denmark · Odense

On the way to see the Little Mermaid, I happened to catch the changing of guards at the gate of Amalienborg. Since we couldn't enter, we just watched the changing of guards for a while. The soldiers marched in unison, and the unique ceremony looked quite interesting, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.

The park is the best part of the castle. It’s stunning with lots of trees and flowers. To enter the castle, you need to buy a ticket stick to time. So it’s best to book online first. It takes about 1h to see inside of the castle.

I visited the Little Mermaid statue in Denmark on a solo trip during winter. The cold breeze from the sea and the quiet atmosphere made the experience feel even more magical. The statue itself is smaller than I expected, but its delicate expression and connection to Andersen’s fairytale give it a unique charm. Since it was off-season, there weren’t many tourists, which allowed me to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It’s a simple yet iconic landmark worth seeing at least once.

It's suitable for young children to play. My favorite part is the microscopic world, which is very shocking! The most amazing thing is that I actually saw the BYD booth. Big manufacturers are really generous.

An amazing collection of artifacts from all over the world! The Viking section was the best, including the remains of the world’s longest Viking ship, an extremely well-done video of the Viking quest to reach Rome, and several rune stones.

The Organ Church is reached by taking two buses from the city center. It got this nickname because a group of decorations inside the church look like an organ. The church is not big, but it has a unique facade, high ceilings and symmetrical design. It is also very spectacular. It is a must-see attraction when visiting Copenhagen.
