Copenhagen is a modern city that hasn't lost its charm of a fairy tale, with colorful houses and medieval stone bridges over its canals. The capital of Denmark is also the largest city in Scandinavia. The boat ride through the canals continues to be a must visit attraction, as well as The Little Mermaid, Amalienborg Palace, where the royal guard is always present, and Tivoli Park. Tivoli is an amusement park in the center of the city that was built about a century ago. It is especially famous for its elaborate gardens and light exposure.
No doubt Coppenhagen is the most inexpensive capital of Scandinavia and one of the most friendly cities in Europe. It was the first city that decided to close streets to traffic in favor of pedestrians, and the compact center does mostly belong to footers.
The historic center of Copenhagen, called the City, includes most of the attractions. We can say that the City is the area from the Central Station on the west to the Little Mermaid and Kastellet on the east, and from the Lake Zone in the north to the district of Christianshavn in the south.
Cruise ships dock at two different ports, one is closer and one farther away, so make it clear in your company where do you land to better plan the shore tour. If you dock in Langelinie it is within half an hour walk from the center of the city and on your walk you meet The Little Mermaid and other important sites. If you get to Freeport, it can take almost an hour to go downtown.

Take a trip to Hillerød and Helsingør, which lie to the north of Copenhagen. First you will visit the Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, which is one of the largest in Scandinavia. Built on three small islands and completely surrounded by a moat, this Danish Renaissance Castle has three separate wings and an elevated front entrance and is topped with multiple gables, spires and turrets. Today the castle is home to the National History Museum which boasts priceless paintings, silverware and porcelain, furniture and tapestries. We will then continue to Fredensborg Castle, which is where the Queen of Denmark resides in the spring and autumn. There will be a brief stop to take photos. In the north-eastern part of Zealand Island stands Helsingør Kronborg Castle. William Shakespeare based Hamlet on the character of Amleth from Danish mythology, and despite never seeing the castle, set the play in it. Return to Copenhagen. Frederiksborg Castle: 12 EUR Per Person The castle was built in the 17th century by King Christian IV. In 1839 it was destroyed by a fire, but was rebuilt and the museum was established in 1878.

The Viking tour takes you towards the west of Copenhagen, through the fields and small villages, some of which were founded by Vikings over a thousand years ago. On arrival in Roskilde - the capital of Denmark until 1417 - you will visit the Viking ship museum. The museum contains the remains of five Viking ships that were recovered from the Roskilde Fjord, where they were sunk over a thousand years ago to prevent invaders from gaining access to the villages using the sea. After visiting the museum, you will go on a short tour of the town square, during which you will be able to visit the Cathedral. The construction of the Cathedral began in the 12th century and over the years various additions have been made in different architectural styles. The Cathedral is the traditional resting place of Danish Royalty and contains more than forty Royal tombs. Museum entrance fees are not included and you will be required to pay. Roskilde Viking Ship Museum: 19 EUR Per Person The Viking Ship Museum was specifically built in 1969 to house the five ships that were deliberately sunk at the turn of the 11th century to block an important route into the city and protect the Capital of Denmark (which was Roskilde at the time). Roskilde Cathedral: 9 Euros Per Person Work on the Cathedral began in 1170, by order of Bishop Absalon, but was not completed until the start of the 15th century. The Cathedral still functions as a parish church today, which sometimes prohibits public entry. The Cathedral is considered a World Heritage Site. ...read more
