Nyhavn, Denmark is a landmark attraction in Copenhagen. It is an artificial canal built between 1669 and 1673. The canal is lined with colorful townhouses from the 17th and 18th centuries, which are rich in color and form a unique landscape. Andersen once lived here and created many classic fairy tales, adding cultural heritage to it. You can stroll and take a boat tour here to experience the rich Nordic style and cozy atmosphere.

On the way to see the Little Mermaid, I happened to catch the changing of guards at the gate of Amalienborg. Since we couldn't enter, we just watched the changing of guards for a while. The soldiers marched in unison, and the unique ceremony looked quite interesting, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.

The Organ Church is reached by taking two buses from the city center. It got this nickname because a group of decorations inside the church look like an organ. The church is not big, but it has a unique facade, high ceilings and symmetrical design. It is also very spectacular. It is a must-see attraction when visiting Copenhagen.

The park is the best part of the castle. It’s stunning with lots of trees and flowers. To enter the castle, you need to buy a ticket stick to time. So it’s best to book online first. It takes about 1h to see inside of the castle.

The Glyptoteket in Copenhagen is a renowned museum that showcases an impressive collection of classical and modern art. Established in the 19th century by the Danish industrialist and philanthropist Carl Jacobsen, it houses over 10,000 works, with a focus on sculptures from Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, as well as art from the 19th and early 20th centuries.One of the museum’s highlights is its remarkable collection of Greek and Roman sculptures, including pieces of incredible artists.

I visited the Little Mermaid statue in Denmark on a solo trip during winter. The cold breeze from the sea and the quiet atmosphere made the experience feel even more magical. The statue itself is smaller than I expected, but its delicate expression and connection to Andersen’s fairytale give it a unique charm. Since it was off-season, there weren’t many tourists, which allowed me to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It’s a simple yet iconic landmark worth seeing at least once.

An amazing collection of artifacts from all over the world! The Viking section was the best, including the remains of the world’s longest Viking ship, an extremely well-done video of the Viking quest to reach Rome, and several rune stones.

We went on a special trip to see pandas. We first experienced problems with our tickets due to a problem on our end, a staff member was kind enough to share her hotspot to help us get the tickets. We then got to go into the park and were lucky enough to be the first people at the panda enclosure, making it a very personal experience. We then went to the cafe next to the enclosure and were able to sit right in front of the panda, making it an extremely memorable experience. If you are travelling to see the pandas, I would definitely recommend Copenhagen zoo.

Frederick's Church, also known as the Marble Church, is very close to Amalienborg Church. The appearance of this green-roofed church is still very beautiful. You can visit it for free. Tourists entering the church consciously kept quiet. We also followed the local customs and quietly found a seat to sit down and quietly appreciate the church. Note that the church is open from 10:00 to 17:00 every day and 12:30 to 17:00 on Sundays.
