half day trip copenhagen

Just morning in Copenhagen and need to catch a flight by noon,i want to focus on nearby attractions that are easy to access, so can make the most of limited time without stressing about getting to the airport. Here's a condensed itinerary of morning: ### 1. **Nyhavn (7:30 AM - 8:00 AM)** - Start your day early at **Nyhavn**, the picturesque canal lined with colorful buildings and boats. It's a great spot for a quick walk and some photos. You can grab a coffee or breakfast at one of the cafes along the water. ### 2. **Amalienborg Palace (8:10 AM - 8:30 AM)** - From Nyhavn, it’s a short walk to **Amalienborg Palace**, the royal residence. If you're there early enough, you may catch the **changing of the guard** ceremony (usually at noon, but worth checking the schedule). You can also admire the palace and its square from the outside. ### 3. **The Little Mermaid Statue (8:40 AM - 9:00 AM)** - After Amalienborg, walk towards **Langelinie Park** to see the famous **Little Mermaid** statue. It’s a quick visit but worth it to see one of Copenhagen's most iconic landmarks. ### 4. **Rosenborg Castle (9:15 AM - 9:45 AM)** - Take a short taxi or walk to **Rosenborg Castle**, where you can explore the exterior and the beautiful gardens. If you have time, you can quickly pop inside to see the crown jewels, but if you’re on a tight schedule, the gardens and the castle’s surroundings will still be a lovely experience. ### 5. **Return to Airport (10:00 AM - 10:30 AM)** - Leave around 10:00 AM to ensure you have plenty of time to get to **Copenhagen Airport (CPH)**, which is about 20-30 minutes from central Copenhagen by taxi or public transport. This quick itinerary will allow you to experience a few of Copenhagen's must-see landmarks in the morning before catching my #Copenhagen flight!
