Hello Friends! Having already explored Christiania in the previous video, today's focus is going to be on other sightseeing spots in Copenhagen.

I say it with love that Copenhagen is a surprising city! It’s one of those cities with a small town like feel in its appearance but at the same time the buzz and vibrancy that matches any major capital city across Europe!

As far as practical, I prefer to explore a place on foot to get a lay of the land & have an overview of the city.

Public transportation is easy, clean, and accessible.

I always thought that the Danes and the Swedes have a bitter sweet rivalry, but little did I know that the two countries were actually fierce rivals in the past and the canal was actually dug by Swedish prisoners of war from the Danish-Swedish War in the 16th century.

We now emerge at Amaliehaven (i.e. the Amalie Garden). It's a small park located between Amalienborg Palace and the waterfront in the Frederiksstaden neighbourhood of central Copenhagen.

Right next to this is Amalienborg. It is a HUGE octagonal shaped area which consists of four identical classical palaces. It is the home of the Danish royal family.

The palace with 5 chimineys on the left is where the Queen resides.

Right at center of Amalienborg square is a statue of King Frederick. As you would have already guessed, Amalienborg is guarded day and night by Royal Life Guards.

Just two mins away from this location comes the Frederik's Church popularly known as The Marble Church for its rococo architecture.

Speaking of the Opera house, it's a 10 minute walk across the bridge from Amaliehaven. As you would have realized by now, Central Copenhagen is fairly compact so it’s easy to walk around. The Copenhagen Opera house is notably one of most expensive opera houses ever built with construction costs well over $500 million! For culture on a budget, you get a standing ticket here for 100 DKK and you can sometimes bag a seat if one’s free after the first act.

The sun kept playing hide and seek all day, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the view along with way nonetheless.

Christiania is one of the most interesting parts of Copenhagen. I have made a separate video to cover Christiania. Check top of the description box.

One of the best ways to see Copenhagen is from the water. You get a free boat trip if you have a Copenhagen Card.

Walking further along the water front, you'll cross the Long Line garden. The area is a popular destination for excursions and strolls in Copenhagen and most arriving cruise ships berth here too. Also, this location is home to the most photographed Danish citizen, The Little Mermaid! Besides being an iconic symbol of the city, the bronze statue, depecting a mermaid becoming human, is a favourite photo point amongst tourists who visit here. Expect a lot of crowd when you're at this spot, but it can also be slightly frustrating.
Listen in:

The Citadel is one of the best preserved fortresses in Northern Europe. It is constructed in the form of a pentagon with bastions at its corners. A number of buildings are located within the grounds of The Citadel, including the "Citadel Church" as well as a windmill. The windmill here is the last of the 16 which is still working.

Copenhagen by the night is an amazing experience in itself.

It's impossible to cover everything but I am happy with time spent here. Overall, I think Copenhagen is a fantastic city with a lovely balance between old and modern architecture. The city is really well set up for bicycles and the locals are really friendly. Speaking of locals, I ran into a group which was trying to spread awareness about Diabetes. Despite being a new YouTuber with little reach, I promised them to add their message in my Copenhagen video. Please support them, here they are:
