PRO TIPS:

  1. We bought the Copenhagen Card and it covered all of our transportation and attractions. Made the the super easy!
  2. An unlimited ride pass is worth it at Tivoli Gardens – The Rollercoaster is a must ride, and during the summer they do fireworks every Saturday night.
  3. Juno the Bakery will have a line but it’s SO worth it.
  4. The water taxi is a fun way to get around the city, and the easiest way to get to Reffen.
  5. There is a changing of the guard ceremony at noon at Amalienborg Palace, be sure to arrive early otherwise it’s difficult to see anything.
  6. A few attractions have capacity limits so getting there early is helpful.
