You first need to find a place to stay where you’ll be able to warm yourself up after an exciting day of exploring. The accommodation in Copenhagen boasts three HI hostels. You can stay at the Amager hostel, the City hostel or the Bellahøj hostel. Each one is unique in its own right and each one will help you experience the capital in a distinctive way.
When you find a comfortable bed to settle in, it’s time to make an almost obligatory stop at the mermaid statue. With a memorable selfie, or without it, you’ll be standing next to a 106-year-old monument that’s definitely one of the most recognisable spots in the city. The statue awaits at the Langelinie pier. When a rush of homesickness for your national capital gets a hold on you, you can visit the Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park that offers a piece of fantasy tailored to each visitor.
Is your passion for architecture still suppressed? Then visiting the castles and palaces that are abundant in Denmark is a must. Castles, such as Kronborg, Rosenborg and Frederiksborg, and palaces, such as Christiansborg, Amalienborg and others, are all waiting to be explored. And when you’ve received your fill of “borgs”, tap into your own artistic talent and visit the former home of Hans Christian Andersen in the harbour, right next to the Nyhavn canal.
Those bold enough can follow the advice on Copenhagen’s official tourist website and explore the city’s dark side in the alternative district of Christiania. Already raring to go? We’ve no doubt. You can get more juicy details about Copenhagen in the volunteer Nika’s travelogue. She says the city offers plenty of opportunities for cultural and sports enthusiasts and foodies. Happy exploring!
