Copenhagen City Walk Guide: All You Need to Know!

While on a business trip to Hamburg, I hopped on a FLIXBUS to Copenhagen for the weekend (check my previous post for bus details). Here’s your full guide to transport, accommodation, food, and shopping! 🏨 Accommodation I booked Wake Up Hotel (a budget chain similar to Home Inn in China) via Fliggy. It’s located in the city center—great for walking to attractions and shops. However, it’s right above a bar street 🍻, so it can get noisy at night. Solo travelers might feel a bit uneasy. 🚇 Transport Highly recommend the City Pass! 🎫 It’s convenient and time-saving. You can buy it at metro station kiosks—I got the 24-hour pass for 100 DKK. Other durations are available too. I tried apps recommended by others but couldn’t bind my card. 🍽️ Food Lots of restaurants near Nyhavn! We chose the famous Havfruen—spent 1,283 DKK including tip. 🍌 Street banana pancakes are pricey but tasty—loaded with chocolate sauce 🍫. Perfect for sweet lovers! 🍦 Don’t miss the delicious and affordable gelato! 🚶 Attractions Except for Grundtvig’s Church (a bit far, didn’t have time), everything else is walkable. With the City Pass, you can also use metros and buses 🚌 to save energy. 📍 Must-Do Route: City Hall → Andersen Statue → Nyhavn → Amalienborg Palace → The Little Mermaid 1️⃣ City Hall & Andersen Statue The statue is right next to City Hall—quite small, so don’t miss it! 2️⃣ Nyhavn 🌈 A must-visit! Go before sunset—the lights reflecting on the water are magical. We even saw a rainbow! 😍 3️⃣ Amalienborg Palace Catch the changing of the guards! ⚔️ We passed by at 6 PM and still saw it—probably even grander at noon. 4️⃣ The Little Mermaid 🧜♀️A 10-min walk from Nyhavn. Very crowded but worth it! Along the way, you’ll see castles, parks, and fountains—great for photos. There’s even a glass wall that acts as a natural filter—loved it! 5️⃣ Museums 🖼️ If you have time and love art, many museums are nearby and worth exploring. #Travel #LifeInEurope #Copenhagen #CityWalk #BudgetTravel #NordicAdventure
