Our two-day adventure in Copenhagen began at Hotel Scandi, conveniently situated in City Hall Square near Tivoli Gardens.

The next morning commenced with a delicious hotel breakfast, we then set off by exploring Christianshavn, climbing the exterior staircase of Vor Freslsers Kirke for stunning city views. Afterward, we wandered through the historic Helligands district before heading to Kongens Have (The Kings Garden).

Danish pastries were a must for lunch, so we stopped at Buka in one of Kongensgade’s stunning streets.
We were then ready for the afternoon as we leisurely strolled along the colourful canal-side buildings of Nyhavn, then onto Amalienborg, the Danish royal family residence, which consists of four identical palaces surrounding n octagonal courtyard.

To end the day, we enjoyed a relaxing canal boat excursion, along the picturesque waterways through the city, then passing by iconic landmarks like the Little Mermaid and the Opera House.
