The Nordic countries have always attracted me but I hadn't been there yet because of the cold. If you are like me, you should go there in May to take advantage of a more pleasant weather and to discover the city on foot.
Copenhagen is a very cute city that can be visited in at least 3 days.
I strongly advise you to take a walk in the streets of the historical center, to go to the Nyhavn Harbour at different times of the day as I did, at sunrise, during the day and at sunset. Moreover it is very pleasant to go there to have a drink or eat a waffle because it is very lively.
If you go there in April/May and want to see cherry blossoms, go to St Alban's Church and also to Rosenborg Castle Park. At the end of the day the light is beautiful.
There are two things not to be missed: the free district of Christiana which does not depend on the city, the inhabitants live in total autonomy, it is quite surprising. The other thing to do if you have a little more time is to visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. You will have to take the train to get there and expect a good half day.
I also really liked the Royal Library, whose facade is really splendid, especially in the spring. #awesomepic #couplestrip #instagramworthydestinations #springholiday

Copenhagen has my heart. I absolutely LOVED this beautiful city. The famous Nyhavn is the perfect place to people watch. Could have spent all day there!
