The colourful houses of Nyhavn are a must-see for everyone in the city, it's so pretty and fun!
Not only does Copenhagen lie on a harbour, it also has a few canals, and a boat trip drifting through them is a pretty good way to see a lot of the city.
I mean really, European architecture is stunning! Rosenborg Castle and the Marble Church both lie in the heart of the city, surrounded by even more beautiful buildings.
While most of the city's architecture is in older, classic styles, there are a few more modern additions, such as the opera house, made more impressive by its situation on the water.
I always love little quirky things when I'm travelling, like this box of biscuits, free to anyone passing by. And doesn't this bakery look simply marvellous?
Copenhagen by night is just as fun as by day, with the lights and music of many restaurants, bars, and clubs, open until the wee hours. Some places look more magical by night too.
Christiania is quirky, eclectic, and just a little weird - it's entirely different to the rest of Copenhagen, yet somehow fits right in! I loved seeing the bizarre artwork around the area.
A short train ride up the coast to Helsingor - is this the little mermaid's prince perhaps? And there are lovely coastal views here, with Sweden in the distance.
How can one place have so many castles? Aside from the three in Copenhagen itself, Kronborg Castle is just up the coast, another marvellous piece of architecture, and home to the story of Hamlet.
