An overlooked romantic fairy tale kingdom | Copenhagen, a spur-of-the-moment trip
In July 2022, a spontaneous trip to Copenhagen.
As we all know, the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, which accompanied us through childhood, originated here.
In a moment of impulsiveness, I bought a ticket for the next day. I departed from Hamburg, Germany, not far from Denmark. Since I couldn't get a train ticket at such short notice, I bought a Flixbus ticket instead, which took about 5.5 hours.
The fantasy begins here...
Got on the bus, after two and a half hours of driving suddenly entered a pitch-black environment, and we all got off the bus. After getting off the bus with a bewildered look, I found myself on a huge ship ⛴️... with duty-free shops, dining, and more. Opening Google maps, I realized that I was floating on the sea. So, blowing in the sea breeze, I began to make a travel plan...
🌟Highlight features:
1. Mermaid 🧜♀️
A bronze sculpture based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid".
Every tourist will go to the place to take photos. I think passing by, the surrounding lake and greenery are very beautiful.
Address: Langelinie, 2100 København Ø, Denmark
2. Xingang
Copenhagen is a place of charm, with many beer houses and restaurants.
3. Organ Church 💒
Suitable for taking photos, a bit far from the city center, about half an hour by bus.
Address: På Bjerget 14B, 2400 København NV, Denmark
Monday closed
4. Qu Fu Li Park 🎠
Disney's predecessor, it is recommended to spend at least half a day here. There are fireworks before closing at night. The fireworks are beautiful, but the music doesn't quite match.
The park has a separate app that can be downloaded in advance.
Location: Vesterbrogade 3, 1630 København V, Denmark
5. Changing of the guard ceremony of the Royal Danish Guard.
Wearing a furry hat in the middle of summer is a bit ridiculous but interesting. The exchange ceremony in Sweden was simple and elegant. However, the grandiose parade with a marching band lasted for a couple of hours.
At 12:00 noon every day, it is recommended to write early so that you can squeeze to the front of the crowd.
Address: Amalienborg Palace (Danish Palace)
6. ❤️ My top recommended destination:
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Suitable for art and leisure companions. This is a place where art and nature blend together. It is also a must-visit spot for me on this trip. Two years ago, I saw an exhibition of Louisiana in Shanghai and have been thinking about it ever since. After visiting, it exceeded my already high expectations. It is located by the sea, and the art gallery leads directly to the ocean. After a tiring stroll, you can sit by the sea.
Distance: Far from the city center, about one hour by Re train or 40 minutes by car. Located in the coastal area of northern Copenhagen.
Duration: Suitable for a day of leisure, at least half a day. It is also very suitable for staying there for a weekend.
Location: Gl Strandvej 13, 3050 Humlebæk, Denmark
🌟Restaurant:
1. Captain H Chinese BBQ & Korean Bistro
Chinese barbecue! I was so moved because there is no barbecue in the city where I live.
The price is on the high side.
2. The Olive
Local internet-famous restaurant, it's best to make a reservation on their official website in advance. I made a reservation in advance, but because I met a friend from Denmark and decided to eat together at the last minute, there was no available seat to add. However, after negotiating and waiting, we finally got to eat.
🔒Tip:
1. After 10pm, all restaurants are closed!!! The open bars only serve drinks, there is no food available. ⁉️‼️‼️
This is an absolute trap. It took me five or six hours to get here on the first day, and the several restaurants I planned to go to were closed. When I started to settle for less, I found that all the restaurants were closed!! I walked for an hour or two and almost covered the entire city on the first night.
2. If traveling independently, all train tickets can be purchased on the Omio app. Subway and bus tickets can be purchased at subway or bus stations.
3. Many restaurants are closed on Sundays. Denmark has many Michelin restaurants with good value for money.

A Royal Visit to the Danish Royal House
From across the harbour and the Nyhavn neighborhood, the towering Marble Dome dominates landscape. A closer walk to the open square of the cobbled stone covered square, the Equestrian Statue of King Friedrick welcomes the visitors to the grandiose of the Amalienborg Palace, the seat of one of the world's oldest Monarchy.
Originally built to house Danish Aristocrats with it four palaces adorned with the most intricate interior fit for nobility, the complex now offers visitors the opportunity to have a glimpse of the Palace's history as you take a guided the tour to the museum.
After indulging in the many stories and trivial facts from the museum tour, try to make it to the Palace square to witness the ceremonial changing of the guards at the Palace ground.

#bucketlistreboot
Not far from Rosenborg is Amalienborg, the home of the Danish royal family. This is where you will see the Changing of the Guard ceremony. The Danish Royal Guard march from Rosenborg Castle to Amalienborg Palace where the ceremony takes place, so be sure to be there around 11:30am – 12noon so you don’t miss this out.
If you are into art, then you should visit Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), this is the Danish national gallery. The museum handles Danish and foreign art dating from the 14th century. The gallery is very close to Rosenborg and our hotel was nearby, so we had to pay a visit.

NordVoyage
At the Amalienborg Palace, you can see the Royal Guard responsible for protecting the safety of the Danish Queen. The Guards are made up of the most elite soldiers in Denmark. Their station is a red pencil with a large red rain cloak. They are not divided into tall, thin and thin races. Every day except for duty patrols, it is sure that the most arduous is to respond to tourists from all over the world. Ask questions and silently take pictures from various angles.
