An up-and-coming developing city within Copenhagen that's situated halfway between the airport and city center. It's fascinating to see the futuristic buildings by architectural greats like 3xn, Bjarke Ingels, and Julien De Smedt in a condensed area.

Located 30 minutes outside the city in Humlebaek and considered to be one of the most beautiful museums in the world. The collection includes works by Picasso, Warhol, Giacometti, and Henry Moore.

Chinese-style Pantomime theater and Victorian signage make you feel as though you have jumped back in time. Enjoy an afternoon stroll through the gardens or take a spin on Rutschebanen, one of the oldest wooden roller coasters still operating. Food options are plentiful, but Brdr. Price is an excellent selection for traditional Danish fare.

Beautiful cemetery where notable residents like Hans Christian Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard are buried. Locals use it as a park, so it's not uncommon to see children playing tag and families having leisurely picnics.
