Historic and beautiful, Copenhagen’s reputation varies from person to person. If you’re young then it’s a literal playground, with the world’s oldest amusement parks and some of the trendiest shopping and nightspots anywhere. For culture, there are historic palaces and museums in which Viking and Bronze Age treasures are on display.

Welcome to ThingsToDo Channel, today we are going to list ten things to do in Copenhagen.

See the Little Mermaid Statue.

This instantly recognizable statue sitting on a rock next to the Langelinie promenade is surely the most famous landmark in the city. The sculptor Edvard Eriksen created the mermaid in 1913 as a tribute to the author Hans Christian Andersen, and it’s inspired by Andersen’s eponymous fairytale.

Discover the History of Denmark.

Copenhagen’s National Museum is the sort of attraction in which you could lose hours without realizing. There’s a remarkable wealth of artifacts here, from all eras of Denmark’s past. If you see nothing else take a look at the Trundholm Sun Chariot. It’s a Bronze Age item, dating to 1400BC, with a bronze statue of a horse pulling a gold disc representing the sun.

Ride a bike around town.

Copenhagen has to be one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world.vAlmost everyone who lives here rides regularly, and it’s so safe that you’ll see many people on bikes without helmets. The city is flat of course, which helps, but the cycle lanes are very broad and since it helps keep pollution down, people are encouraged to cycle whenever they have to make a trip.

Walk around the Botanical Garden.

Occupying 10 hectares right in the middle of Copenhagen, these gardens are valued as much for their botanical wealth as the majestic iron and glass structures that house them.

Explore Christiana.

They do things differently in Christiania, on the site of old military land in Christianshavn. It’s a commune that was established back in 1971 on the back of the counterculture movement. Nearly half a century later it continues to thrive, although things have been bumpy along the way as the people who live and work here wrangle with the Danish government for more autonomy.

Visit Rosenborg Castle.

This palace was built by Christian IV at the start of the 1600s. His long reign and engagement in the Thirty Years’ War that swept across mainland Europe made him one of the best-known Scandinavian Kings.

Get a thrilling dose of adrenaline at Bakken Amusement Park.

An earthy alternative to Tivoli Gardens, Bakken is an amusement park that has been located right here since 1583. As you might guess, this makes it the oldest operating amusement park in the world. Bakken sits hidden in beech woodland a few kilometers up from Copenhagen and after Tivoli Gardens it’s the most popular tourist attraction in Denmark.

Go on a Copenhagen Pub Crawl.

A fine starting point for a night out in Copenhagen is on one of the many side streets that branch off Strøget. Here you can drink with locals and prices are a little lower than the picturesque but touristy Nyhavn. On weekends this can be your launchpad for a fun night out in a city where clubs are cool and unpretentious, and live music is a way of life. Younger visitors can party all night at clubs in Nørrebro that stay open ’til five in the morning and represent all sorts of scenes.

Try Danish Cuisine.

When most people picture Danish cuisine they think of Smørrebrød, which actually means “butter and bread”. The reality is a lot more exciting and entails anything from cheese, cold-cuts, egg, fish and seafood, topped off with seasoning and garnishes. For the uninitiated the experience is akin to Spanish pinchos. Copenhagen is also ground zero for the new Nordic cuisine, where geniuses work wonders with molecular processes and emphasize the quality of regional ingredients. Noma on Strandgade is of course at the forefront, with two Michelin stars and rapturous international acclaim for more than a decade.

Tivoli Gardens.

Such is this theme park’s fame that some people come to Copenhagen just t visit Tivoli Gardens. And even if you’re not in the mood to get on a rollercoaster or carousel it’s an unforgettable place for an amble thanks to its romantic 19th-century representations of the Orient. After Bakken, also in Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens is the world’s oldest theme park, and if you do have kids with you they will have the time of their lives on some of these rides. Worth special mention is the Star Flyer, a carousel that hikes riders up 80 meters above the ground.
