We do not provide information about each of the up to 70 museums, attractions and tourist offers, but present the most important sights that are visited by many tourists.
Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli Gardens is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and offers a mixture of nostalgic carousels, modern rollercoasters and idyllic gardens.

Boat trip from Nyhavn
A boat trip through the picturesque Nyhavn harbour is the perfect way to discover Copenhagen's architecture. The historic harbour, known for its colourfully painted houses and old sailing ships, offers an insight into life in the 17th century. The boat trips offer a fascinating view of the city from a unique perspective and take you past other sights such as the famous Little Mermaid and the modern opera house.
Amalienborg Palace
Amalienborg Palace is the residence of the Danish royal family and an outstanding example of 18th century European palace architecture. The palace complex consists of four identical buildings arranged around an octagonal square. Visitors can attend the daily changing of the guard or visit the Amalienborg Museum, which offers an in-depth insight into the life and traditions of the Danish monarchy.
Glyptoteket
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen is a museum that delights art lovers and history buffs alike. Founded in 1888 by the beer brewer and patron of the arts Carl Jacobsen, the museum houses an impressive collection of ancient sculptures from Egypt, Greece and Rome as well as important works of Danish and French art from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Visitors can embark on a journey through art history, from Egyptian mummies to masterpieces by Impressionists such as Monet and Cézanne. A particular highlight is the magnificent conservatory with its glass dome and historic palm trees.
Church of the Redeemer
The Church of the Saviour in Copenhagen is an example of Baroque architecture and one of the Danish capital's most popular sights. It was built between 1682 and 1696 and is particularly impressive due to its unique 90 metre high tower with a spiral external staircase added in 1752.
Visitors can climb the 400 steps, the last 150 of which go around the outside of the tower and offer a breathtaking panoramic view of Copenhagen.
There is an entrance fee to the tower, but the church itself is free to visit. Inside, visitors can expect a magnificent baroque interior, including an imposing organ from 1698, which rests on two elephants - an allusion to the Danish Order of the Elephant.
