Days to Explore Denmark! (Detailed Version)

This guide features plenty of citywalks with a high "special forces travel" vibe—proceed with caution if you’re carrying lots of luggage! The loop route can start from any point, and it’s especially convenient for travelers coming from Sweden! There are direct trains from Stockholm to Gothenburg/Helsingborg/Malmö 🚄 Day 1: Helsingborg → Helsingør → Copenhagen Arrive in Helsingborg early in the morning. The train station connects directly to the ferry terminal—take a ferry (departing every 20 minutes) across the Øresund Strait to Helsingør ⚓ Walk from Helsingør Ferry Terminal to Kronborg Castle (Hamlet’s Castle) to catch its 10 AM opening 🕙. (Though it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s quite bare inside—thanks to its history as a military fortress, fires, and looting! 😅) Head to Copenhagen at noon. Østerport Station is right near the Little Mermaid, where your citywalk begins 🧜🏻‍♀️ Walking south, you’ll reach Frederik’s Church (Churches in Protestant countries are usually plain—for opulence, head to Frederiksborg Castle 🏰), Amalienborg Palace (the square is the main highlight; the museum is optional 🎟️), and Nyhavn (the colorful harbor is perfect for photos 📸). In the evening, visit the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (only open until 9 PM on Thursdays, with lots of events! We stumbled upon an impromptu classical music performance 🎻). The private collection of beer magnate Carlsberg is huge and diverse—featuring sculptures (Rodin, Degas, etc. 🗿), ancient artifacts (from Greece, Rome, Egypt, the Middle East 🏛️), and paintings (Gauguin, Monet, Van Gogh 🎨). The museum building itself is stunning too! Day 2: Copenhagen → Roskilde → Odense → Aarhus Early morning, take a 20-minute train to Roskilde Cathedral ⏳—another UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Danish royalty is buried (with ornate coffins fit for kings 👑). Take a train to Odense, but watch carefully—trains split en route to different destinations! Follow the signs closely 🚦 In Odense, don’t miss: The Hans Christian Andersen Museum (amazing interactive exhibits! 📖), Andersen’s childhood home (very tiny 🏡), and a quick peek at the church along the way. Recommend the Asian restaurant District 13 (a bit pricey but delicious 🍜). Stay in Aarhus overnight 🌙 Day 3: Aarhus → Aalborg Staying near Aarhus’ waterfront is highly recommended! After the busy days prior, relax all morning by the Glacier-inspired waterfront buildings—gorgeous for photos on a sunny day 🌞 Pass by the cathedral on your way to ARoS Aarhus Art Museum (fascinating exhibitions, and the 360° rainbow walkway on the top floor offers panoramic city views—super Instagram-worthy 🌈). Stay in Aalborg overnight 🌃 Day 4: Aalborg → Frederikshavn → Gothenburg Jørn Utzon, designer of the Sydney Opera House, was born in Aalborg—check out the architectural museum/workshop he designed here, right by the sea with lovely views 🏗️ Then it’s time to head back: the train from Aalborg to Frederikshavn takes 1 hour 🕒. For the Frederikshavn → Gothenburg ferry: Book in advance and arrive at least 30 minutes early! No joke—they won’t wait if you’re late ⚠️ About Gothenburg Home to the headquarters of Hasselblad and Volvo! Volvo World opens in April 2025 (replacing the old Volvo Museum 🚗), and the Hasselblad Center is inside the art museum 📷. If you visit in summer, don’t miss Gothenburg Botanical Garden—the largest in Northern Europe 🌺 #Denmark #TravelTheWorld #TravelGuide ✈️
