My favorite things to do in Copenhagen

Planning a trip to Denmark and wondering what are the best things to do in Copenhagen? Here are four city attractions not to be missed:

• The Winter Garden at Glyptoteket

The Winter Garden at Glyptoteket houses one of the most stunning collections of sculptures of Danish, French and ancient artwork. The word, “Glyptotek”, literally means collection of sculptures. Carl Jacobsen founded Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The name Glyptotek is said to be a name chosen from his brewery named Ny Carlsberg, with the addition of “Glyptotek.” Danish architect Henning Larsen for the French paintings draws the beautiful Winter Garden. This gardens is one of Copenhagen’s’ most popular gardens to explore for its setting and tremendous art experience.

• Tivoli Gardens

Magical Tivoli Gardens located in the heart of Copenhagen, is an adventure park with roller coasters, restaurants, shops and music. This adventure location spot also feature some of the most breathtaking aspects of the gardens to explore too. The beautiful gardens are complete with a lake, a fountain and numerous flowers in all the colors in the world to make for the perfect day out spot for a picnic and day of leisure enjoyment. Take long walks through the gardens just as the sun is setting for the ultimate evening experience. Also, for an even more eventful experience catch the magical fireworks on display just as the gardens prepared to close for the night.

• Copenhagen sea forts

Copenhagen has three spectacular sea forts at the entrance to the harbour in the middle of Øresund. The famous three sea forts are named Middelgrundsfortet, Flakfortet and Trekroner. Copenhagen has the largest sea forts of its kind in the world. It is also noted as one of the best-preserved sea fort of the three. Tour guides of the forts are an experience that will take you back in time and to the history of the Danish defense system that was responsible for protecting Copenhagen from threat of attack from the sea. Tours are available on a daily basis for your convenience. Another must experience for your day out observation of sea forts will be the pleasure of dining out at the sea fort. Boats can escort you through Øresund out to the islands. Other transportation alternatives include renting your own boat or being flown by helicopter to view the war landmarks sea forts by air.
