Suggestions for Exploring Copenhagen on Your Own: A walking tour along Strøget in the city center is interesting, with many architectural sites and numerous shops. Be sure to take a short walk to see the historic buildings of the University of Copenhagen and Vor Frue Kirke (Church of Our Lady). The university dates back to 1419.

Kødbyen, the old meatpacking district, was originally Copenhagen's meat market and packaging area. Now, it’s a very popular spot for nightlife and enjoying a nice dinner or drink at one of the small venues.

The Botanical Garden is a very peaceful place in the heart of Copenhagen, perfect for a little break in beautiful surroundings.

The lakes in Copenhagen are another excellent option for relaxation. If you head to Dronning Louises Bro (Queen Louise's Bridge), there are several cozy cafés, such as KAFFESALONEN. Check out Jægersborggade for an exciting modern street filled with specialty shops, located right across from the cemetery where Søren Kierkegaard, Hans Christian Andersen, and Niels Bohr are buried.
