Copenhagen Walking Guide: 3 Days, 2 Nights Itinerary 🇩🇰✨

#springitinerary Copenhagen City Walk Guide | 3 Days, 2 Nights Travel Itinerary Ah, Copenhagen’s beauty lies in the colorful houses reflected on shimmering waters, in the freedom of riding a bicycle over cobblestone streets. In these three days, every step feels like walking along the tip of Hans Christian Andersen’s pen. 🧚♂️📖 Day 1 | Strolling the Old Town: Step Into a Fairytale 📍First Stop: Nyhavn Navigate to the Nyhavn Canal — aim to arrive before 9:00 AM to beat the crowds. The iconic blue-and-yellow wooden houses are stacked like toy blocks, and the riverside cafés offer the perfect view. Grab a Danish pastry and a latte by the window and watch boats glide under the 17th-century arch bridge. Photo Tip: Stand on the east side of the canal to frame the colorful houses and sailboat masts in one perfect shot. 📸 📍Second Stop: Amalienborg Palace Just a 15-minute walk from Nyhavn brings you to the royal palace square. Be there at 12:00 sharp to catch the Changing of the Guard — soldiers in bearskin hats marching with precision against the golden-domed Rococo palace backdrop. It feels like stepping into Frozen! ❄️👑 Don’t miss the Royal Guard Museum in the corner of the square. Entry is 45 DKK and it’s full of 300 years of royal secrets. 📍Third Stop: Frederik's Church (The Marble Church) Just 200 meters from the palace, this stunning domed church is free to enter. Look up at the largest dome mural in Scandinavia, and when the sun streams through the oculus, it turns your breath into something sacred. 🌞⛪ #naturalwonders
