A city trip to Copenhagen by train is special because of the world's largest car-free shopping area Strøget, the exquisite eateries, the Little Mermaid, Christianborg, the colored houses of Nyhavn or Tivoli, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. Copenhagen is a vibrant city and life is buzzing from early morning till late evening.

Sightseeing - City Trip Copenhagen

Free Town Christiana

Freetown Christiana is a self-proclaimed semi-independent enclave in Copenhagen. Christiania was founded in 1970, when a group of hippies squatted the abandoned military barracks Bådsmandsstrædes Kaserne in the Copenhagen district of Christianshavn.

The Little Mermaid

Symbol of Copenhagen, made by Edward Eriksen, after the fairytale of Hans Christian Andersen.

Amalienborg

The Royal Palace of the Danish royal family, guarded by soldiers in traditional uniform. A small part is open to the public and thus very much worth a visit.

Christiansborg

The parliament building of Denmark from where, among other things, the office of the "Minister of State" is housed. 

Public transport - City trip Copenhagen

Public transport in Cologne is excellent. All corners of the city, including the city center, are easily accessible by bus or subway. From Copenhagen's main train station the center is within walking distance.
