7 days in Copenhagen Itinerary

Founded in the 10th century as a Viking fishing village, Copenhagen has morphed into the cultural, political, and economic powerhouse of the country.

Take a break from the city and head to Stevns Klint and Eskebjerg Vesterlyng. Relax by the water at Gudmindrup Beach and Bellevue Beach. Change things up with these side-trips from Copenhagen: Dragsholm Castle (in Hoerve), Holtug Kridtbrud (in Store Heddinge) and Roskilde Domkirke (in Roskilde). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at National Gallery of Denmark, identify plant and animal life at Jaegerborg Dyrehave, explore the different monuments and memorials at Assistens Cemetery, and enjoy the sand and surf at Bureso.
