7 Day DENMARK Itinerary

By Author Katie

Posted on Last updated: February 13, 2024

7 Day DENMARK Itinerary

This Denmark itinerary covers the best places to visit in Denmark in just a week, Perfect for those planning a trip to Denmark.

Denmark is known for its rich history and picturesque landscapes, making it a popular place for visitors to explore. From the iconic little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen to the fairy-tale-like castles found all over the country, there is plenty to sweep you away whilst in the country.

Marjut from The Smooth Escape  shares a Denmark Itinerary – perfect for a week in Copenhagen and beyond.

Why Denmark?

Denmark, the smallest of the Scandinavian countries and one of the happiest nations in the world will charm you with its medieval towns, beautiful castles, and scenic countryside.

Based on my experience with living in Denmark for almost a decade, I’ve put together a 7-day Denmark itinerary that includes both must-see attractions as well as lesser-known treasures in this amazing country. 

One week is just enough to explore the main sights of Denmark’s vibrant capital city Copenhagen and take a few day trips to smaller towns such as Helsingør and Dragør which are packed with culture and history; this is how we recommend you spend time in Copenhagen .

To ensure that you’ll have enough time to thoroughly enjoy your trip without having to rush from one place to another, this Denmark itinerary is limited to the eastern part of Denmark (Zealand) only, which in my opinion is the most enchanting region in the whole country.

Without further ado, let’s have a look at some of the most beautiful places to explore during a weeklong stay in Denmark!

7 days Denmark Itinerary

The Little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen for your Denmark Itinerary

Denmark itinerary – Day 1: Copenhagen 

Start your Denmark itinerary by visiting some of Copenhagen’s most iconic sights and landmarks; we recommend spending at least 3 days in Copenhagen. This is one of the most romantic destinations in Europe , making it the perfect place for couples.

Begin your Denmark itinerary by heading to the gloriously photogenic Nyhavn which is a port lined with colorful quaint houses and old sailing boats.

Whether you choose to just snap photos of the buildings, grab a bite in one of the many quayside restaurants, or stroll along the port, Nyhavn is an absolute must when you’re in Copenhagen.

Next, visit Amalienborg Palace, the residence of the Danish royal family. The palace consists of four identical buildings with a large courtyard in the middle. To experience the changing of The Royal Guard, make sure to be at the central courtyard at noon.

If you’d like to see the rococo-style interior of the palace, visit the Amalienborg Museum. If you are visiting on a budget, make sure to get the Copenhagen City Pass to save money or get an attraction and transport card .

Copenhagen Walking Tour

After that, head to Frederik’s Church, also known as the Marble Church sitting right next to Amalienborg Palace.

With its massive green dome, this beautiful church stands out from the Copenhagen skyline and can be spotted in many parts of the city. As it’s free to enter the church, I recommend taking a quick look to admire its interior.

From there, walk to the Gefion Fountain, a large and impressive monument built in 1908. Topped by a statue of the Norse goddess Gefion, the fountain depicts a mythical story about the creation of the island of Zealand on which Copenhagen lies.

Just a short stroll from the fountain sits The Little Mermaid – a bronze statue created based on the world-famous fairy tale by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen.

Once you see the iconic statue, you might find it a tad underwhelming since it’s smaller than what most tourists expect. Nevertheless, you should pay a visit to The Little Mermaid as it’s one of Copenhagen’s most famous attractions and is often seen as the symbol of the country.

Plus, the waterfront promenade leading to the statue is a lovely place to walk and offers some great views over the canal.

Head to the Copenhagen Christmas markets during the Winter and check out Copenhagen’s hidden gems and unusual things to do once you have seen all the sights.

Explore Copenhagen in your Denmark Itinerary

Day 2: Copenhagen

Kick off the second day with a walk in Copenhagen’s oldest park, the King’s Garden . The park contains vast lawns, flower beds, and a rose garden, making it an attractive place to visit during the spring or summer months. This makes for a peaceful, calmer beginning to your Denmark itinerary.

King’s Garden is also home to Rosenborg Castle where you can see the crown jewels of Danish royalty.

Next, head to Torvehallerne, which is a buzzing food market consisting of two modern glass halls with countless stands serving high-quality fresh produce, pastries, chocolates, liquor, fish, nuts, cheeses, and lots of other delicacies.

Besides the market stands, there are also many restaurants and cafeterias serving everything from tapas to porridge, from sushi to pizza, and the typical Danish open sandwiches called smørrebrød . If you’re a foodie, this place is your paradise.

Once you’ve eaten your way through Torvehallerne, take a walk on the bustling pedestrian streets in the heart of Copenhagen.

The longest and most well-known of them is Strøget but you should also check out Købmagergade and Fiolstræde. These streets are lined with an abundance of cafeterias, bars, and shops selling both international and local brands.

Make sure to stop at Amagertorv Square which is an excellent place to people-watch and enjoy the performances of street musicians.

Copenhagen is easy to get around and you can see all the sights on a walking tour .

Tivoli Garden for your Denmark Itinerary

Finish your day with a trip to the world’s second-oldest amusement park and one of the most fascinating attractions in Copenhagen – the Tivoli Gardens . Even if riding roller coasters is not your cup of tea, you should still experience this magical place as it has so much more to offer.

Full of stunning architecture, Tivoli Gardens becomes especially impressive at night when the buildings and rides are illuminated with thousands of colorful lights. This is a must-do during your Denmark itinerary.

Its idyllic lake, romantic pathways, and enchanting decorations create a surreal fairytale ambiance, which you just shouldn’t miss!

The park is also home to quaint souvenir shops, concert venues, and a variety of restaurants with options ranging from fine dining to budget-friendly street food.

Gorgeous Copenhagen waterfront

Day 3: Copenhagen

On Day 3 of your Denmark itinerary, go to Ved Stranden (a waterfront street in the heart of the city) to join a guided canal tour and experience Copenhagen from a completely different angle.

Sit back and relax as you cruise past some of the most famous buildings in the city while your tour guide tells you all about the history of these spots. As the boats are partially covered by a glass roof, you can still enjoy the tour even if it rains.

Next, head to the Christianshavn neighborhood to visit the Church of Our Saviour. The beautifully twisted spire of this church can be spotted from far away and the best part is that you can go all the way up to the tip of the spire!

There are 400 steps to climb but once you make your way to the top, you’ll be rewarded with incredible 360-degree views of Copenhagen. As the spire might be closed in case of bad weather, call the church ahead of your visit.

After that, wander the streets of the adjacent Freetown Christiania. Located on the site of an abandoned military base, Christiania is a self-governing hippie neighborhood with its laws, car-free streets, and quirky cafeterias. This is one of the more unique, offbeat places in Europe to visit.

Full of vibrant street art, eccentric architecture, and interesting characters, it’s a unique place that will make you want to reach for your camera. However, please note that photography is not allowed on the main street of Christiania known as Pusher Street.

Copenhagen at night

Round off your day with a visit to Reffen, the largest street food market in the Nordics. With 41 food stalls serving cuisine from every corner of the world, you can be sure to find a meal to your liking.

Since sustainability is of high importance at Reffen, the stalls sort their waste, use compostable plates and cutlery, make efforts to reduce food waste, and use organic ingredients as much as possible.

While Reffen’s main focus is on serving food, there’s also a handful of shops selling artisan products and vintage clothing. Bear in mind that Reffen is closed during the winter months.

Day 4: Louisiana Museum & Helsingør 

As you’ve now seen a fair bit of Copenhagen during your Denmark itinerary, I recommend taking a trip outside of the city and heading north.

Spend the first half of the day exploring the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art which is located in Humlebæk, 35 kilometers from Copenhagen, and can easily be reached by train.

As its name suggests, the museum houses a collection of contemporary art, including works by Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso.

Sitting right on the coast, Louisiana and its intriguing sculpture garden offer beautiful vistas of the Øresund strait and a must-visit place durign your Denmark itinerary.

On top of that, the museum has a really interesting layout as it’s built around an old villa with glass corridors connecting the different wings of the building.

Helsingor on your Denmark Itinerary

Next on your Denmark itinerary, take the train further north to the coastal town of Helsingør , also known as Elsinore. The center of the town has a notable medieval character, and its small cobblestone streets and colorful houses make it a truly picturesque place to walk around.

Explore the bustling shopping streets, sit down with a beer in one of the cozy restaurants, or roam around the modern harbor area.

If you liked the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, try to locate the glistening steel sculpture called Han in the harbor of Helsingør. Han translates into ‘He’ and is the male version of the Little Mermaid.

The main attraction in Helsingør though is the Kronborg Castle , a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Wandering around outside of the castle is free of charge. However, if you choose to pay for the entrance, you’ll get to admire the palace’s Renaissance interior and exquisite tapestries, walk through the maze of underground dungeon passages, and enjoy the views from the castle tower.

After exploring Kronborg, I’d recommend spending the night in Helsingør during your Denmark itinerary. If your budget allows it, stay at the Marienlyst Beach Hotel which features an amazing spa with outdoor jacuzzis.

If you’d rather return to Copenhagen for the night, you can easily do that as it’s just a 40-minute train ride.

Day 5: Frederiksborg Castle

After checking out of the hotel, head to the train station and get ready to say goodbye to Helsingør. From there, catch a train to Hillerød, a small town 30 minutes away.

Note: If you choose to return to Copenhagen the night before, you can still get to Hillerød by taking an S-train (train network serving the metropolitan area of Copenhagen) from one of the stations in the center of the city.

Frederiksborg Castle on your Denmark Itinerary

Hillerød is home to Frederiksborg Castle , one of the most spectacular cultural treasures of Denmark and a must during your 7-day Denmark itinerary.

Located on three islands in Castle Lake, Frederiksborg is the largest Renaissance complex in Scandinavia and is often referred to as the “Versailles of Denmark”.

Built in the 17th century, the castle used to be a royal residence but was later converted into a Museum of Danish National History. Nowadays, the museum displays a large collection of portraits, furniture, and art encompassing 500 years of Denmark’s history.

You can enjoy Frederiksborg’s terraced garden with perfectly trimmed hedges, fountains, and water canals free of charge. Seeing the interior of the castle, however, requires purchasing a ticket, which I highly recommend that you do.

The extravagant Renaissance decorations and the grandeur of the halls will blow your mind! To properly explore the castle and its gardens, expect to spend a minimum of two hours.

When you’re done wandering around Frederiksborg, take the train back to Copenhagen and spend the night there.

The island of Haven in Denmark Itinerary

Day 6: The island of Hven

Next on your Denmark itinerary, it’s time for another trip outside of Copenhagen! Head to Havnegade Street near the harbor of Nyhavn to catch a ferry to the tiny island of Hven. It would be a good idea to book tickets online to be sure that you get a spot on the ferry.

This idyllic island lies in the Øresund Strait between Denmark and Sweden, just one and a half hours from Copenhagen.

Being only 7 square kilometers in size, the island is the perfect destination for a day trip.

As soon as you reach the island, you’ll be charmed by the scenic countryside and the laid-back vibes of this place.

The best way to explore Hven is to rent a bike and cycle along its picturesque coastal trails. This is the most common method for visitors to get around the island and there’s a massive bike rental point near the harbor which is impossible to miss.

Beautiful daffodil fields in Denmark

As you cycle through the island, you’ll come across adorable cottages, secluded beaches, rustic cafeterias, and artisanal shops. If you’re lucky, you might even see some alpacas pasturing on the fields on the eastern coast.

Also, make sure to stop at Kyrkbacken Harbor to buy some unbelievably delicious freshly smoked fish from the small smokehouses.

If you happen to visit Hven in May, you’re likely to see the island covered with a gorgeous yellow carpet of flowers since that’s when the canola fields are in bloom.

Besides the beautiful nature, one of the main attractions of Hven is the Tycho Brahe Museum named after a Danish astronomer who lived on the island and made many groundbreaking discoveries in science.

Another point of interest at Hven is the island’s very own whiskey distillery Spirit of Hven. Here you can get a tour to learn about the different stages of the production process and of course, sample their gins and whiskies.

Hven should also be on your Denmark Itinerary

After touring the island, return your bike and head back to the harbor. As there’s only one ferry sailing back to Copenhagen each day, make sure you don’t miss it!

Note: Hven is a destination that I only recommend visiting from May to the end of September due to the weather. If you’re traveling to Denmark outside of this period, you might want to consider heading to Roskilde or Odense instead. Both of these are charming medieval towns that can be visited in a day.

Day 7: Dragør

Start the last day of your holiday in Denmark with a trip to Dragør. Located 12 kilometers south of Copenhagen, Dragør can be reached either by bus from Copenhagen Central Station or if you’re feeling active, by bicycle.

This sleepy fishing village is the perfect place to escape the stress of the city and spend a few relaxed hours by the sea. Dragør’s tiny quaint cottages, charming gardens, and maze of cobblestone alleys will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a different century.

Take a stroll along the picturesque marina and sit down in one of the waterfront restaurants. Or buy some Danish pastries, find a bench with a sea view, and simply enjoy the peace.

Dragør is also home to the Pilot Museum of Denmark and the Amager Museum, where you can learn about the special history of the village.

Dragor on your Denmark Itinerary

Next, if you still have any energy left and if the weather allows it, stop at Amager Beach on your way back from Dragør.

This beach is located on a narrow artificial island right next to the coast, where on one side you’ll find a lagoon great for kite surfing, and on the other side a long sandy beach with dunes.

On sunny summer days, this place is bustling with both locals and tourists sunbathing, having picnics, or doing sports. Despite the chilly waters, Amager Beach is a popular place for swimming, and you can even see winter bathers here during the colder months.

In case you’re visiting Denmark outside of the summer season, Amager Beach is still a nice place to stroll and enjoy the views of the sea, the Øresund Bridge, and the Middelgrunden wind farm.

The Old and the New – Charming Denmark is known for its innovative design, interesting architecture, historical attractions, Viking towns, towns along the coast and cultural institutions and modern museums. As well you have some of the world’s most popular and well-known amusement parks and attractions and of course famous traditional Nordic and New Nordic cuisine.

Smile – you’re in Denmark! According to the World Happiness Report (2022) Denmark is the 2nd happiest country in the world ( Finland is #1). “Hygge“ is the Danish way to live well – it means to live with a feeling of comfort and well-being. As we said before, Copenhagen the delightful capital city of Denmark, is on the western side of the island of Sjaelland and on the coast of the Strait of Oresun and you can actually cross the Oresun Bridge to the city Malmo in Sweden . Roskilde , Denmark’s historic capital is West of Copenhagen and is well known not only for its summer rock festivals, but also for the impressive Gothic Cathedral and the Viking Ship Museum which is located at the tip of the fjord. Helsingor , in the northern region of Schilland, is home to the Renaissance Kronburg Castle, the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Another “must” visit is to the National Maritime Museum, originally located in the Kronborg Castle and now in a fascinating underground building designed around a former dry dock, where you will see amongst many exhibits a collection that covers shipping and trade from the 15th century to date.

The third largest island in Denmark is Funen and it is between southern Jutland and Zealand. Except for the city of Odense all other towns are situated along the coast, creating an atmosphere of calm and peace. Odense was named for the Nordic God Odin, it is however, best known as the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen and his home was made into a museum. The Jutland peninsula contains the mainland regions of Denmark and borders with Germany to the south. The city of Aarhus, on the western side, dates back to the Viking period and is the second largest city in Denmark and the largest city in Jutland. It is a popular city with museums and entertainment venues and a full cultural life. A definite landmark the unique “The Iceberg” is a residential building in the harbor front, the Aarhus Docklands and close to the city center. The ”old” Aarhus dates back to at least the late 8th century and is among the oldest cities in Denmark. The first Christian church was built here around the year 900 and in the Viking Age they guarded the town with protective barriers.

What word is almost synonymous with Denmark? Lego, of course! Legoland is a major attraction and brings tourists to the town of Billund, the original Legoland amusement park constructed entirely from Lego pieces. One can visit and spend all day building in this “playground” that is 12,000m large and filled with 25 million Lego bricks.

On the other-hand if you’d like to take a trip back in time do not miss a visit to Ribe , the oldest city in Denmark. The old part of the town has cobbled streets and wooden houses and to this day, a night watchman walks about the city at night, singing his songs and telling stories of the 1300-year-old city.

At the northern end of Jutland, a visit to the charming “golden” town of Skagen will leave you almost blinded, with its golden-painted houses reflecting at sunset. West of Skagen you will see the tower of the Old St. Laurentius Church. In the dunes west of Skagen stands the tower of the old “Sanded Church”, a moniker for St. Laurentius Church, which for about 400 years served the congregation in the area. However, over the years, drifting sand blocked the road and cemetery and by 1795 you could not reach the church and so it closed down.

And at the end of the sandy headland of Skagen is the charming town of Grenen . It is here that you can experience a unique natural phenomenon where the Baltic and the North seas meet (the Kattegat, the strait between Denmark and Sweden) where the waters of the North Sea meet the quieter waters of the Baltic Sea). Therefore, you can stand with one foot in the Baltic Sea and the other foot in the North Sea!

🛈 This itinerary perfectly fits families and couples who love road-tripping. Having said that, you ideally should rent a car in order to explore Denmark. It’s easy getting from one city to another and taking day trips if you have the freedom of your own vehicle. We love Discover Cars  when it comes to renting a car anywhere in the world.

Things to Know Before You Plan a Trip to Denmark

Best time to visit denmark.

The best time to visit Denmark is during the summer months of June, July, and August. It’s when the days are long and the weather is perfect.

The temperatures range between 15°C and 20°C making it an ideal time to get outdoors for tourists and locals (July is the vacation month for Danes) alike.

The coast and the countryside in Denmark get super busy during summer. The downside is high prices and insane tourist crowds.

Autumn (September, October, and November) is also a great time to visit Denmark. The air gets cool and crisp but the weather is mild enough to enjoy the outdoors.

Also, it’s when you can see the country bathed in a golden glow of falling leaves. The downside is that most of the sights and attractions work on reduced hours.

Winter (December, January, and February) has its own perks. The weather is extremely cold (temperatures go as low as -2°C) and the days are dark but the coziness of the world-famous Danish hygge lifestyle makes up for everything.

The winter month of December is a perfect time for those who want to celebrate Christmas in Denmark.

Tivoli Christmas Market is one of the best Christmas markets in Europe . The catch here is that many of the attractions remain closed.

tivoli during christmas

As Spring (March, April, and May) hits the country, the days start getting warmer (from 5°C in March to 15°C in May) and longer. Plus, the bright pink burst of cherry blossom during spring fills the senses.

The shoulder season (late spring and early autumn) remains the best season for those who look for quiet and peaceful exploration (low tourist crowds) and low prices (budget travelers) while having the benefit of mild weather.

How Many Days Should You Spend in Denmark

It solely depends on your travel style and your expectations from the destination.

You might just want to take a quick weekend escape to Copenhagen or choose to spend as long as two weeks exploring the country at a slower pace.

Anyhow, 7 days in Denmark gives you just enough time to explore the highlights of the country.

With seven days you can base yourself in Copenhagen and take 2 or 3 day trips without making it a rushed trip.

10 days is a good amount of time to throw in some of the offbeat and unique attractions and explore the country at a comfortable pace.

How Much Does it Cost for a Trip to Denmark?

Denmark is one of the topmost expensive countries to live in meaning traveling to Denmark can be quite heavy on your pocket. There’s no way of getting around it. There are a few ways you can save some dollars.

The budget varies depending on the hotel you choose to stay or amount of sightseeing you plan to do or restaurants you decide to dine in or the transport options you pick out.

If you travel on a low budget , expect to spend a minimum of $75 to $100 per day if you choose to stay in a hostel, move around using public transport, visit cheap and free attractions, join free walking tours, and eat at hawker stalls and food markets.

We traveled on a medium budget where we spent about $150 to $200 per day . We stayed in an Airbnb, purchased all-inclusive city cards to save on sightseeing, opted for public transport while exploring the cities, shopped at grocery stores, and cooked our own food whenever we got a chance though we also enjoyed eating out at some of the good restaurants in Denmark (key is to maintain a balance to limit the splurges).

We rented a car to get from one city to another which saved a lot of time and money.

How? A train ticket from Copenhagen to Aarhus costs about $57 per person so if you’re a family of 3 like us, you’ll spend $171 for a one-way train journey.

On the other hand, if you rent a car then you’ll pay just about $45 (economy) for a day. The freedom and peace of mind you get with having your own vehicle are a bonus! So, renting a car is the way to go.

We, as a family of 3, spent approximately $4200 for a 10 day trip to Denmark.

For all those travelers who have a thing for luxury and have money to splurge then there’s no limit.

Book your stay in a high-end hotel and upscale Airbnb rental, eat out at Michelin-star restaurants, and join guided tours – in short, enjoy and spend your heart out 🙂

How to Get to Denmark

The travelers mostly arrive in the Danish capital city of Copenhagen. Most of them fly into Copenhagen (Kastrup Airport) which is in fact a good place to start your Denmark itinerary.

Some (coming from neighboring European cities) arrive at Copenhagen Central Station by train or bus (coach), drive into the city, or travel via ferry.

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), Norwegian Airlines, and Finnish Airlines are the major carriers that connect Copenhagen Airport  (CPH) aka Kastrup to other major international destinations.

There are direct flights from the USA, the UK, and almost all European countries.

Located in the heart of the city, Copenhagen Central Station is the hub for all public transportation (regional trains, local S-trains, buses, and taxis ) in and out and around Copenhagen.

It’s managed by Danish State Railways (DSB) and is well-connected to other European cities. If you are planning to travel Europe extensively by train, consider buying InterRail or Eurailpass .

The major coach operators include Eurolines , InfoBus , FlixBus , Vy Bus4You , and Swebus .

There are direct trains from Hamburg (Germany) and Stockholm (Sweden) and direct buses from Berlin and Hamburg (Germany), Oslo (Norway), Prague (Czech Republic), and Amsterdam (Netherlands).

The efficient road network in Denmark makes it super easy to reach the country from the neighboring ones.

Renting a car and driving by yourself is a great option as it gives you a chance to experience the breathtaking countryside in Europe.

We drove across Øresund Bridge from Sweden to Denmark and let me tell you, the experience is something that can’t be expressed in words.

There are regular ferry services to Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands.   DFDS Seaways , Color Line , Fjord Line , Scandlines , and Stena Lines are the major ferry and cruise operators.

We use and recommend Eurail and RailEurope , Omio , and Flixbus to book trains and buses in Europe.

How to Get Around Denmark

Getting around Denmark is effortless. The country boasts a well-placed public transportation system that involves travel via land, air, and sea.

The most beautiful way to get around Denmark is by rental car. No two ways about it.

While driving around the country, you are sure to feel the feeling when the journey seems more beautiful than the destination.

The excellent buttery road network makes it all super easy, comfortable, and fast. Our guide to renting a car in Europe will clear up the car rental confusion you might have as a first-timer. I recommend using Discover Cars for car rental.

Traveling by bus or coach is also a great option as Denmark offers extensive short and long-distance bus connections between Danish cities and towns.

The fastest way to get around Denmark is by air. There are tons of daily domestic flights to all the major cities around Denmark.

The country’s railway network also comes in handy: There are regular trains from Copenhagen to Aarhus, Aalborg, and Odense.

The unique and traditional way to get around Denmark is by boats and ferries. You can’t just not use boat and ferry services in a country that’s made up of a good number of islands.

Get ready to explore the Danish capital of København or Copenhagen. Have your breakfast at your hotel or Airbnb or head to Bowl Market Copenhagen  in Vesterbro. They serve the healthiest and tastiest breakfast in the city.

Head off to Nyhavn to enjoy the Copenhagen Canal Tour – a classic way to explore the most famous attractions of Copenhagen is through its waters.

Yes! Your Copenhagen itinerary is incomplete without it. This one-hour tour lets you have a glimpse of The Copenhagen Opera House, Amalienborg Palace, Christiansborg Palace,  Black Diamond Library,  and the  Little Mermaid .

Next, walk to the Marble Church aka Frederik’s Kirke . The church with its impressive verdigris green dome looks awe-inspiring. And the views over the city from its top are definitely one of the best views in Copenhagen.

Just across the street from the church stands Amalienborg Palace , home to the royal family of Denmark.

A visit to the palace puts across Danish royal history. The palace complex consists of four exactly the same palace façades out of which two are occupied by the royal family and two are converted into a museum.

You can visit the museum. You can witness the changing of the Royal Guard (Den Kongelige Livgarde) Ceremony if you reach the palace around 12:00.

Make a mandatory stop at Hansen’s Is & Ice Cream Copenhagen .

After fueling up, it’s time for another must-do in Copenhagen, Rosenborg Castle, and Gardens . A Renaissance castle built by Christian IV, Rosenborg is imposing.

Admire the castle from the outside and take a stroll in the beautiful Rosenborg Castle Gardens (King’s Garden), then take a walk through its stately rooms and halls and admire the Danish Crown Jewels and other symbols of power.

Continue on foot for a few more steps (190m) to reach Statens Naturhistoriske Museum (Museum of Natural History).

The museum also houses the Botanical Garden and the Palm House and the Zoological Museum . You can experience it all with just one ticket.

There are quite a few amazing eateries in this part of the city; I recommend having lunch at Torvehallerne Street Food Market , a famous covered marketplace with stalls that sell local produce, gourmet foods, beverages & desserts.

Try traditional Smørrebrød at Hallernes and Oat Porridge  at  Grød .

How can you not stop for a coffee when you’re in a country that’s one of the top 10 coffee-drinking nations?

On average, every Dane consumes 1.46 cups of coffee per day. No better place to experience the Danish coffee culture than Coffee Collective .

Post lunch, visit the oldest functioning observatory in Europe, Round Tower ( Rundetaarn ).

Take the spiral walkway all the way up. The  view from the top of the tower  is just breathtaking. You can see all of central Copenhagen stretched out before you. As you head back down, make a stop at Trinitatis Church .

Walk through Indre By (Downtown Copenhagen) to Strøget Street ( the oldest and longest pedestrian street in the world).

Along the way, you’ll pass by several important landmarks – including  Copenhagen’s City Hall, Jens Olsen’s World Clock, Dragon Fountain, the statue of Hans Christian Andersen, Vesterport   (the West Gate) ,  Stork Fountain (Storkespringvandet) , the Church of the holy spirit (Helligåndskirken) , and King’s New Square (Kongens Nytorv) .

Now comes the last but not the least stop of the day, Christiansborg Palace .

One of the most important buildings (the center of power of Denmark) in Copenhagen, the palace is the seat of the Danish Parliament, the Danish Prime Minister’s Office, and the Supreme Court of Denmark. You can choose to visit the palace on your own or join a guided tour.

Riz Raz is a good option for dinner. It’s a charming Mediterranean restaurant not very far from Christianborg Palace. For those traveling with young kids, their children’s buffet is highly recommended.

Day 3: Day trip to Dragør via Øresund Bridge | Tivoli Gardens

After an exciting day in Copenhagen, it’s time to head out of the city. From impressive historic castles, charming coastal towns, and unique landscapes to iconic cities – you are really spoiled for choice when it comes to day trips from Copenhagen .

A day trip to the tiny fishing town of Dragør from Copenhagen comes highly recommended.

It’s one of those places that made me think that dreams can be real. A beautiful drive from Copenhagen to Dragør via Öresund adds to the entire experience.

PS: On the way, you can make a pit stop at the National Aquarium of Denmark ( Den Blå Planet ), Northern Europe’s largest aquarium, especially if you are traveling with young kids.

A stone’s throw away (13 km) from the Danish capital, Dragør looks so ethereal and otherworldly that one may feel like they’ve jumped into the pages of a fairy tale.

Apart from immense beauty, the town holds rich cultural and historical value. It played an important role in the Holocaust during World War II.

The locals did everything they possibly could to rescue Danish Jews from the Nazis.

If you are all in for a destination that’s utterly charming yet remains offbeat, Dragør is for you. The town rightfully makes a place in a list of the hidden gems in Europe .

Spend some time strolling the cobbled streets and stopping by in-between to admire the quintessential canary-colored low thatched roof houses that date back to the 1700s.

The way the houses are adorned with exquisite lilac and lavender florals is praise-worthy. Browse some of the cute boutiques and art galleries around the town, sit with a cup of coffee at one of the cute sidewalk cafes, and soak up the old-world charm of the place.

It only takes two or three hours to explore this eeny-weeny Danish town.

dragor denmark day trip from copenhagen

Come back to Copenhagen by early evening so you can visit the city’s iconic amusement park, Tivoli Gardens .

With so many amazing rides for kids of all ages, this second-oldest amusement park in the world is a must-visit for families traveling with kids. In fact, Tivoli lets adults unleash their inner child.

The Golden Tower, The Demon, The Lighthouse, and The Star Flyer are some of our favorite rides. For the best view over Copenhagen, don’t miss riding the Ferris Wheel.

PS: If you happen to visit Tivoli on any Saturday from May to September, stay late to enjoy the Fireworks Show that takes place at 23:45.

End your day with dinner at Tivoli Food Hall.

Grab a quick English breakfast at your accommodation as you have a long day today. You’ll be driving to the second largest city of Denmark, Aarhus while making a pit stop at the historic city of Roskilde.

A 40-minute drive away from Copenhagen, the fjord town of Roskilde is famous for its Viking history and heritage.

The two most important sights or high points of the town are Roskilde Cathedral and the Viking Ship Museum.

Once you’ve explored the cathedral and museum, head to Mumm for an authentic Danish lunch. Try their Free Fall Menu where you just sit back and let the chef decide for you.

If you are a vegetarian like us, I’d suggest you pre-order so they can prepare a vegetarian alternative to the Free Fall Menus.

roskilde denmark itinerary

After a hearty lunch, drive to Aarhus. It takes a little less than 3 hours from Roskilde and the route includes a ferry.

You are supposed to reach Aarhus by late evening. You can visit La Cabra Coffee for a mandatory dose of caffeine or can check in to your hotel and enjoy a cup of coffee in your room before you head out for dinner.

We recommend Restaurant Frederikshoj for the most impressive and lavish fine dining experience ever. This Two MICHELIN Stars restaurant is sure to become the highlight of your trip to Aarhus. Promise.

Where to stay in Aarhus?

If you are traveling on a budget (yes, it’s possible to travel on a budget in one of the most expensive nations in the world), I’d recommend staying at a beautiful boutique hotel set in a 1930s building, Milling Hotel Ritz Aarhus City .

Just about 50m from the center, pretty much everything is within walking distance from this property. The hotel is family-friendly, rooms are comfy and clean, and on-site parking is available. The breakfast buffet is the cherry on the cake.

For those who love all things luxurious, Hotel Royal is a perfect choice. Set in a Neoclassical building dating back to1838, it’s ranked highly for its beautiful interiors, excellent location, and kid-friendly atmosphere.

As you only have a day to explore the charming city of Aarhus, it’s vital to have an itinerary in place to make the most of your time in the City of Smiles (Smilets By).

It’s best to start with an early breakfast at Cross Cafe. After breakfast, take on the charming streets of Aarhus.

The city is small enough to get around on foot. You can take a self-guided walk or may choose to join a guided walking tour to learn the history and facts about the city.

As you stroll the streets of Aarhus, make sure to stop by the prettiest cobbled street in the town – Møllestien !

Lined with a row of pastel-colored half-timber houses dating back to the 18th century adorned with colorful flowers, vines, cute paned windows, and traditional picket fences, Møllestien is utterly beautiful.

Make your way towards the city center and walk around the main shopping street, Strøget . There are a good number of famous restaurants, cafes, small and big shops, museums, and architectural marvels along this pedestrianized high street.

You might want to check the tallest and longest church in Denmark, Aarhus Cathedral . The interiors are as impressive as the exteriors.

Take a break and grab something nice to eat at Aarhus Street Food . With good music, a nice ambiance, and varied food choices from all over the world at reasonable prices, it’s a cool place to enjoy a great meal.

Post lunch, take a refreshing walk along the harbor. If you have a thing for books, you should take some time to visit Dokk1 . It’s the biggest and the most beautiful library in Scandinavia.

Now it’s time to visit the most beloved attraction in Aarhus – ARoS Aarhus Art Museum .

The second-oldest public art museum in Aarhus and one of the largest art museums in Northern Europe, ARoS is worth visiting even if you aren’t an ardent art connoisseur because it showcases a unique rainbow panorama.

Yes. A halolike rainbow walkway, Your Rainbow Panorama by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson is a centerpiece of the museum.

It’s just beautiful walking the 150-meter-long, circular panoramic path that offers sweeping views of the city. A visit during sunset time adds to the entire experience.

aarhus denmark itinerary

You can’t just visit Aarhus and not visit Den Gamle By , an open-air museum that recreates the Aarhus of the 1700s. It’s a beautiful walk through time.

End your time in Aarhus with an exceptional culinary experience at Domestic .

PS: If you are traveling to Aarhus from May until October, you must drop around The Infinite Bridge . It’s a circular bridge created by architect Niels Povlsgaard and Johan Gjødes that the city sets up by Varna Beach/Ballehage Beach every year between May and October.

Today’s going to be an exciting day, especially for kids as you’ll be visiting Legoland in Billund. You’ll also spend some time exploring Odense on the way from Aarhus to Copenhagen.

A short (1 hour 15 minutes) drive from Aarhus takes you to Billund. It’s where the world’s most favorite toy LEGO was born! Ole Kirk Christiansen , a Danish carpenter from Billund invented Lego blocks around 1930.

I think this is one toy that prepares kids for life and caters to all age groups. Mini-me has been playing with Lego since she was 2 years old and loves it even as a teenager.

Legoland Billund Resort is a theme park that’s entirely built of Lego. Isn’t it exciting?

It’s fun looking at the mini models of famous buildings and sites from around the world. Lego House is another attraction that thrills Lego lovers of all age groups.

legoland billund denmark itinerary

If you are done with the theme park (oh I know you never will but the clock is ticking) then drive another 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the fairytale town of Odense.

The most famous fairytale writer in the world, Hans Christian Andersen called it home.

You must have your lunch before you start exploring Odense. Head to Storms Pakhus (Odense Street Food) for a unique food experience.

A restored industrial warehouse houses about 24 food stalls, 12 creative workshops, and 6 bars. It’s a perfect place to grab a meal that offers taste, value, and satisfaction. The vibe is amazing too.

Now that you’re full it’s time to start the Odense sightseeing tour! Like any other Danish town, Odense is full of character.

Start with the Old Town and get charmed by the rustic cobbled streets speckled with colorful half-timbered houses.

This painstakingly preserved part of Odense exudes history. Take a stroll down Nedergade and Overgade , the two main streets in the Old Town.

You can join a guided tour of Odense.

As you stroll the streets of Odense, you must stop by one of the finest gothic buildings in Denmark, St. Canute’s Cathedral aka Odense Cathedral .

You are sure to be fascinated by its interior and exterior architectural details.

Next up is the Hans Christian Andersen Museum , a set of museums showcasing the life and times of the Danish master of the literary fairy tale, Hans Christian Andersen.

The buildings comprise – H. C. Andersen’s House, H. C. Andersen’s Childhood Home,  H. C. Andersen Museum, and Møntergården.

odense denmark itinerary

Stop for a cup of coffee and snack at Nelle’s Overgade . Located at a junction where the two of the prettiest streets of Odense – Overgade, and Nedergate meet, all hearts to this cozy little cafe <3

Bid adieu to Odense (until next time) and begin your journey (2 hours) to Copenhagen.

You are expected to reach Copenhagen by late evening. Check in to your hotel and enjoy dinner at your hotel’s restaurant or maybe opt for in-room dining as you must be tired to go out for dinner.

Suggested Reading: 7 Days in Norway Itinerary 2 Weeks in Norway Itinerary

For the remaining 3 days in Denmark, you’ll base yourself in Copenhagen and explore the places around the Danish capital.

Another wonderful day in Denmark! Day 7 lets you discover a famous international art museum, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and the largest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia, Frederiksborg Castle.

What about a traditional Danish breakfast at the oldest bakery in Copenhagen, Sankt Peders Bageri before heading out of the city?

Their authentic melt-in-your-mouth pastries and cinnamon rolls take you to the world of sweet goodness from where you wouldn’t want to return 🙂 You’ll be lost in the aroma and flavor for days.

Well, if you manage to return to the real world 😉 it’s time you get going to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art .

With a perfect setting by the Öresund coast surrounded by beautiful grounds, the museum apart from its intriguing art collection offers great outdoor opportunities.

You can enjoy panoramic views of the sea and Sweden across from its terrace. Sit back and relax at Louisiana Café while savoring the cakes and a cup of hot coffee.

Your next destination, Frederiksborg Castle , is only 30 minutes away from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.

Set on three islands encircled by a lake and extensive gardens, the castle looks simply stunning. It was built in the early 1700s by King Christian IV.

The palatial complex houses the Museum of National History . A tour through the museum narrates 500 years of the history of Denmark.

Frederiksborg Castle Chapel  is not to be missed. It’s the only part of the complex that survived the fire of 1859 and still flaunts the original decoration dating from the time of King Christian IV.

You must take the little ferry ride around the castle lake.

If you have time, include a walk through the little town of Hillerød.

Hungry? Head to Cafe Havehuset , a little cute baroque garden house café with an absolutely gorgeous setting.

Grab a seat on their lovely outdoor terrace and enjoy a simple yet tasty menu. Pizza lovers can go to Montalbano for authentic Italian pizza.

End your day trip with yummy gelato at Giovanni’s .

louisiana museum of modern art humlebaek

A short 35-minute drive from Hillerød brings you back to Copenhagen. It’s time to retire to your hotel room, lounge on the comfy bed, and enjoy the room service while watching your favorite series on Netflix .

After a healthy breakfast at Cafe Feel Good or Mad & Kaffe , kick off your day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kronborg Slot in Helsingør that’s about an hour’s drive away from Copenhagen.

Your trip to Denmark is incomplete without visiting the famous Kronborg Castle a famous castle immortalized by Shakespeare in the 16th century! Yes, here’s where Shakespeare’s classic Hamlet was set. Thus, it’s fondly named Hamlet’s Castle.

Shakespeare named the castle Elsinore in Hamlet and since then it has become the English name for Helsingør.

Owing to its strategic position at the head of Øresund Sound, Helsingør was considered one of the most important towns in Europe and this majestic castle would collect sound dues or tolls from all ships passing into the Baltic Sea.

You can explore the castle on one of the three guided tours of different lengths. While making your way through the creepy crypts and catacombs of Kronborg, you are sure to bump into the stone statue of Holger the Dane (Holger Danske) who’s cited as a legendary figure in Danish culture.

Legend has it that he’ll wake from his rock throne to defend Helsingør if ever he senses trouble.

Bardolaters are recommended to plan a trip around August because that’s the month when Hamlet’s Castle hosts the Shakespeare Festival .

As you know the narrow Øresund strait in Helsingør separates Denmark from Sweden, and it’s easy to see Sweden from the city’s waterfront.

The best way to enjoy the views of Sweden is by climbing to the top of Kronborg Castle. What you see in the distance is the city of Helsingborg in Sweden.

kronborg castle helsingør

Once you are done exploring the castle, visit Værftets Food Market for a mouth-watering variety of street food from different corners of the world.

Located in an old shipyard, the food market with its overwhelming diversity of food is a delight to visit.

After you’ve eaten your fill of amazing street food, spend some time checking out the Øresund Aquarium and the M/S Maritime Museum .

They are located close to Kronborg Castle and are great kid-friendly attractions.

Before you head back to Copenhagen, the last but not the least recommended thing is to take in the vibe of Hamlet’s Town.

Stroll the quaint narrow alleyways of Helsingør speckled with well-preserved half-timbered houses that not only exude charm but unfold the historic character of this little town.

Next, head off straight to Nørrebro in Copenhagen. Stop in a small café in Arrebro to fuel up for the rest of your day!

Walk about 200 meters from the cafe to reach a unique urban park, Superkilen. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, Superflex, and Topotek1, it’s a beautiful public space showcasing the diversity in the neighborhood of Nørrebro aiming to bring people of different ethnicities together.

The park features interesting articles from around the world like fountains from Morocco, benches from Brazil, swings from Iraq, and a black octopus slide from Japan.

I was quite impressed to see how uniquely and thoughtfully a public space is created that’s not just an escape from city life but is a one-of-a-kind attraction in itself.

For an amazing food experience, eat at Bistro Lupa and give a perfect ending to the day!

Ø12 is one of the best spots in Copenhagen that offers a great breakfast menu to get you going. Serving up hearty breakfast dishes and hot coffee, it’s a small local gem!

Today, you’re going to witness two of the best natural wonders in Denmark – Møns Klint and Stevns Klint.

About an hour’s drive from south of Copenhagen lies the cliffs of Stevns, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It’s the finest place in the world to witness traces of the asteroid that hit the Earth 66 million years ago.

A little further (around 1 hour 30 minutes) from Stevns stretches over the 70 million-year-old chalk cliffs of Møn.

There are many fun ways to experience Møns Klint. Kids will love to discover ancient fossils with folks at GeoCenter Møns Klint .

Mons Klint is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Also, it’s the first Dark Sky Park in Scandinavia along with Nyord which makes it one of the best places to experience the star-studded night sky.

If you are visiting Denmark between September and March, you can book a family cabin at Camp Møns Klint or sleep under the stars in a Dark Sky Camp .

Take a guided tour where you have a chance to witness the Milky Way, star clusters, planets, nebulae, galaxies, and even meteor showers or aurora borealis.

Located on top of the cliff, Café Møns Klint is a charming spot to enjoy lunch with family. You can choose to sit inside or outside on a panorama terrace.

ND122 is another nice restaurant close to Mons Klint.

mons klint denmark

Make your way back into the city. Decide if you want to relax for a bit at your hotel before you go out for dinner or want to have a cozy dinner in your hotel room – it’s your call.

If you plan to dine out, I’d recommend the gem of a place named Alchemist , a Michelin-starred restaurant for an immersive culinary experience.

If you want a go for quick bites, for a change (because you’ve had a lot of beautifully plated fine dining encounters), head to Hija de Sanchez for the best tacos in Copenhagen.

It’s your last day in Denmark so make the most of it.

It’s yours to spend however you want to. Aimlessly stroll the streets and enjoy the chance encounters or relish Danish-style authentic hot dogs at John’s Hotdog Deli or shop for souvenirs to bring back home a piece of Denmark or what about a last cup of coffee at The Coffee Collective ?

And yes, make it a point to reach the airport on time considering you’ve to drop your rental car at the airport depot before beginning your journey back home.

4 thoughts on “Denmark Itinerary: How to Spend 10 Days in Denmark”

Hi, thanks for sharing your 10 day itinerary. I think most of this can work for my wife and I when we go in late April. Did you basically stay 4 nights in Copenhagen, 2 nights in Aarhus, and another 4 nights in Copenhagen?

All the best.

Hi Sherwood,

I’m glad you found our itinerary for Denmark useful. Yes, we stayed in Copenhagen for most of our trip and took day trips. We were able to touch all the regions of Denmark except the northern region.

Thank you for sharing this 10 day itinerary. We are considering a vacation in early June. My question is about the car rental – which location did you rent from? Did you need to park the car in Copenhagen, any advice on that? Thank you.

I’m glad you found the 10-day itinerary helpful for your upcoming vacation in June! Regarding the car rental, we picked up our car directly from Copenhagen Airport. It was quite convenient to start our journey from there.

As for parking in Copenhagen, we mostly left our car at the Airbnb where we stayed, as it offered free parking. My advice would be to avoid using the car for city exploration in Copenhagen because like most European cities, parking can be quite a challenge – it’s either hard to find or pretty expensive. Plus, most parking spots have time limits, so you need to be mindful of that. For getting around the city, public transport or even biking is a more hassle-free option. Hope this helps, and have a great trip!

Off-line would be helpful

I like the functionality very much. It gives me options I would not even think of. But as a frequent visitor of Copenhagen, I would welcome if it kept my trip available off line, as the data roaming is too expensive for me to use. Now whenever I disconnect from the internet, the found schedule disappears.

Always helpful until recently

Have spent years finding it essential for life in Denmark if you have no car. But lately it won’t register where I want to go, or where I want to go, if it’s not exactly where the gps thinks I am. Meaning it literally will only show me routes from my current location to my current location. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times now, and it seems to do the trick for awhile, but I can’t say it isn’t frustrating. But I feel bad complaining, because I have been a happy customer for as long as I’ve had a phone that could install the app. All in all it’s a great app, but it would be so much better if they’d fix this one thing.

All major cities should have a similar app

Denmark is a very popular tourist destination, and the perfect visit to this stunning Nordic nation wouldn’t be complete without a proper Denmark itinerary. If you’re planning on spending 5 to 7 days in Denmark, then read on! This trip outline covers the country’s highlights, as well as some lesser-known attractions that are well worth a visit in their own right. 

Table of Contents

How Many Days in Denmark?

A key part of planning any holiday is figuring out how many days to spend at your destination. If you’re putting together an itinerary for a trip to Denmark, you’re probably wondering what the minimum length of time you’ll want to spend there to get a feel for the place is. 

Naturally, this varies somewhat from person to person, and will largely depend on what you like to do on your holidays, as well as what appeals to you about visiting Denmark in the first place.

With that in mind, trying to spend at least 5 days in Denmark is advisable, as it will allow you to visit a few of the country’s major cities and ensure that you don’t feel rushed in going from point A to point B. 

Bear in mind that both Denmark and its cities are remarkably compact, so getting around is generally quick and straightforward. In fact, you can see a great deal of the country in just five days as a result 

Having said that, you’re hardly going to run out of things to do if you end up spending one week in Denmark, instead.

Having an extra couple of days in the Nordic nation means you can visit some of the countryside, for example, or explore some of its nature reserves or even head to places like Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød or Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, several of which are fairly easy to access from the cities.

On the other hand, if you only have 3 days in Denmark or less, then plan on spending that in Copenhagen and maybe heading out on a day trip from the capital rather than planning to explore Denmark in its entirety. 

Streets of Aalborg

Getting To & Around Denmark 

One of the best things about visiting Denmark is how easy it is to get around once you’ve arrived in the country. Let’s be honest – Denmark is definitely on the smaller size, especially compared to other Nordic and Scandinavian countries like Norway , Sweden and Finland .

Combine this with the comprehensive and reliable Danish train network, which will take you to just about any town or city with ease (and often in a fairly short span of time, too), and Denmark is pretty much the ideal destination if you’re planning on travelling without a car. 

In fact, Denmark is perhaps one of the few countries in Europe where hiring a car has arguably next to no benefit beyond the flexibility that it offers.

Rail services in Denmark will get you pretty much anywhere a car can in the same amount of time, and, naturally, if you end up hiring a car for your trip, you’ll need to worry about parking, paying for petrol, and so on. 

Buses represent another great alternative to travelling by car in Denmark. Much of the country is well-serviced by buses, tickets for which tend to be on the more affordable side, compared to equivalent train services. You can view train & bus schedules here.

As far as airports are concerned, flying into Copenhagen’s Kastrup Airport, which is Denmark’s largest, will give you access to the greatest range of airlines and flight routes.

Conveniently, you can take the local metro service directly from the airport into downtown Copenhagen and Copenhagen Central Station, which usually only takes around 15-20 minutes.

The country’s other major airports are near the cities of Aarhus, Aalborg, Billund, and Odense.

5 to 7-Day Denmark Itinerary 

This itinerary will see you arriving in Copenhagen, the country’s cosy capital. After spending a few days there, you’ll be moving onto Aarhus, where you’ll spend a couple of days; this is where the five-day version of the itinerary ends.

If you decide to stay for 7 days in Denmark, then you’ll be heading to Aalborg for days 6 and 7 of the trip. 

Day 1 – Copenhagen 

For day 1 of your trip, you’ll be arriving in Copenhagen ! A city with seemingly endless charm and charisma, Copenhagen is the historic and unique capital of Denmark and is home to beautiful architecture, quaint canals, and plenty to do and see. 

Why not start your holiday off with a bang and visit some of the city’s royal palaces? The castles of Rosenborg, Amalienborg, and Christiansborg are all well worth checking out, featuring some stunning and fairly distinct architecture.

Make sure to purchase a Copenhagen Card if you plan on visiting a lot of attractions. You can also take a bike tour if you want to explore some of the sights with a tour guide.

For unforgettable views of Copenhagen, you can climb to the top of the city’s Round Tower – just try not to get dizzy! 

Finally, you can finish the day off with a walk around the city’s iconic Nyhavn district and wandering around the cobblestone streets in the centre of the city. Known worldwide for its charming, colourful townhouses, cafes, and bars, Nyhavn is pretty busy in the warmer months, but its atmosphere simply has to be experienced firsthand. 

If you’re hungry, head to one of Copenhagen’s many fantastic food markets such as TorvehallerneKBH or Reffen. For those looking for something a bit more high-end, there are also countless fine dining establishments that call the Danish capital home. You can also take a food tour to try some of the nation’s iconic dishes.

It’s also recommended that you spend tonight, as well as nights 2 and 3 of your trip, in Copenhagen. 

Christiansborg Palace

Where to Stay in Copenhagen

Ascot Hotel – This luxury hotel is in the centre of Copenhagen close to most major attractions. They offer a large range of rooms as well as breakfast daily and a gym onsite.

The Square   – This 4-star hotel is right across from Tivoli Gardens and has rooms suitable for singles, couples and larger families. There’s also a bar and common lounge for guests to enjoy.

Copenhagen Downtown Hostel – If you’re travelling solo or visiting Denmark on a budget, then this hostel has dorm and private rooms, excellent common areas, 24-hour reception, and a bar on site!

Day 2 – Copenhagen 

On the second day of this Denmark itinerary, you’ll be visiting some of Copenhagen’s cultural highlights, including its world-famous Tivoli Gardens. The second-oldest amusement park in the world, Tivoli is, naturally, pretty old-school, but it’s still worth checking out for its historical value and unique atmosphere. You can pre-buy tickets here.

Afterwards, you can head to the National Museum of Denmark, which is home to a number of vital artefacts from the Viking era. The impressive Gundestrup Cauldron, thought to have been created sometime in the Iron Age, is a particular standout. 

The second day is also the perfect opportunity to try some delicious baked goods, which are something that Denmark is actually pretty famous for. We recommend the chain Meyers Bageri; with several locations across the city, their cinnamon rolls are not only traditional but absolutely delicious!

What’s more, at the end of each day, they donate any unsold bread and cakes to charities across Copenhagen that work to support the homeless, so your money will be going to a good cause. 

The world-famous Tivoli Gardens

Day 3 – Humlebæk & North Zealand Day Trip 

For the third day of your holiday, we recommend taking a day trip from Copenhagen to North Zealand, described by many as the ‘Danish Riviera.’

It’s a popular holiday destination among Copenhageners, and Humlebæk, one of the region’s more significant towns, is just over 30 km away from Copenhagen itself and easily accessible via train. 

Humlebæk is home to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, which actually happens to be one of the most famous modern art museums in the world. So, if you’re a fan of the arts, then you’ll definitely want to head to Humlebæk and get to know some of the finest contemporary artworks in the world. 

Afterwards, you can either explore more of Humlebæk and the charming nearby beach of Nivå or head further afield and discover more of the North Zealand region.

If you’re not keen to head to North Zealand, consider heading out on a day trip to nearby Malmo, Sweden . Or, if you’re interested in Viking history, head to Roskilde which is also within easy reach of the Danish capital and won’t take long to get back to Copenhagen. Its main cathedral is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Do keep in mind that the next day of your trip will see you travelling from Copenhagen to Aarhus, so you might want to make sure not to overdo it! 

Malmo Old Town

Day 4 – Aarhus 

On day 4, you’ll be making the trip from Copenhagen to Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city. If travelling by train, you can expect the journey to take a little over three hours. 

Once you’ve arrived, we suggest acquainting yourself with the city by going on a walking tour of its downtown area. The food market Aarhus Street Food is the perfect place to grab some authentic and delicious local fare; located just off the wharves in the Kødbyen district, this is a fantastic option if you’re keen for a more relaxed, affordable location for a bite to eat. 

Then, you can pay a visit to the open-air museum Den Gamle By, which features reconstructions of a variety of historic buildings and feels like something of a time capsule! 

Note that you should plan to spend tonight and tomorrow night in Aarhus. 

Where to Stay in Aarhus

Hotel Oasia – This 3-star hotel is an excellent choice for those looking for a hip place to stay in the centre of Aarhus. They have a great, central location, plenty of plush rooms on offer and a lovely breakfast buffet available in the morning.

Villa Provence – Those looking for a bit of luxury will love this plush hotel in the Aarhus canal area. Located within easy reach of the train station and close to the top attractions, they have a range of lovely rooms to choose from.

BOOK1 Design Hostel – Budget and solo travellers will love this highly-rated hostel in the centre of Aarhus. They have a range of dorms and private rooms available along with good self-catering facilities for guests to use.

Colorful houses in Den Gamle By

Day 5 – Aarhus 

We recommend that you use day 5 of your trip to visit some of Aarhus’ excellent cultural attractions, starting off with the tranquil Botanical Garden (the greenhouses are especially impressive!). 

Then, you can head to the ARoS Art Museum and Moesgaard Museum; ARoS is one of Scandinavia’s most significant art museums, while the Moesgaard Museum features a number of fascinating exhibits related to archaeology and anthropology. 

If you’re planning on seeing Denmark in 5 days only, then this will be the last day of your trip. So, if you’re flying home from Copenhagen, make sure to factor that into your plan for the day; note that the time it takes to reach Copenhagen from Aarhus via train is usually around 4 hours. 

Aarhus Botanical Garden

Day 6 – Aalborg

Seeing Denmark in 7 days? Then, for day 6 of your trip, you’ll want to head north from Aarhus to Aalborg; travelling between the two cities usually takes a little over an hour by train. 

Once you’ve arrived in Aalborg, we suggest heading to the Maritime Experience Centre at Springeren, which is a must-see for enthusiasts of maritime history. 

Or, if Vikings are more your thing, you can head to the Viking Museum at Lindholm Høje, which is just north of Aalborg city. Home to museums and a burial ground, the Viking Museum is absolutely fascinating, even if you don’t have much existing knowledge of the Vikings or their culture. 

Afterwards, you might like to climb the observation tower, Aalborgtårnet, for a view over the city. You can easily combine this with a walk into downtown Aalborg, which makes for a fantastic way to get your bearings here. 

If you’re keen on sampling the local Danish fare during your trip, then you may want to consider heading to Mortens Kro for dinner tonight. Regarded by many as one of the best restaurants in the city, Mortens Kro specialises in serving up fairly typical Danish cuisine, as well as a number of vegetarian options. Both a la carte and tasting menus are available, and booking in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment. 

We suggest that you spend the night in Aalborg, keeping in mind that tomorrow may be the last day of your trip, and, as such, you’ll need to make arrangements to return to Copenhagen then, if that’s where you’re flying home from. 

Exploring Aalborg

Where to Stay in Aalborg

Zleep Hotel Aalborg – Those looking for a hip, mid-range place to stay in Aalborg will love this 3-star hotel. They have chic rooms on offer, an on-site bar to lounge in and a great breakfast available for guests each morning.

KOMPAS Hotel – If you’re after a bit more luxury in Aalborg, then this hotel is an excellent choice. Located in the heart of the city close to all of the best attractions, there are lovely rooms to choose from, a great breakfast on offer and plenty of other amenities for guests to enjoy.

Not quite what you’re looking for? Click here to browse more Aalborg hotels!

Day 7 – Aalborg 

For the last day of your trip to Denmark, we recommend taking a day trip from Aalborg to Rebild National Park ( Rebild Bakker in Danish). Buses departing from central Aalborg will take you to and from the national park, with a journey time of a little under an hour. 

The area comprises some lovely hilly heathland and is the perfect place for a hiking trip or picnic. Don’t expect much elevation gain, of course, but the park is truly tranquil, making for a nice change after nearly a week spent exploring Denmark’s incredible cities. 

Once you’re back, we suggest (unless you’re vegetarian/vegan) sampling the local seafood, which makes up a massive part of the local cuisine. One of the best places for it is the restaurant Fisk & Skaldyr, which specialises in serving seafood of the highest standard to diners. 

With oysters, salmon, mussels, prawns, eel, lobster, and halibut on the menu, seafood lovers are truly in for a treat here. The desserts are also to die for!

Note that there aren’t any vegetarian/vegan mains on the menu, so plant-based diners will likely want to contact the restaurant ahead of time to see if they’re able to accommodate dietary requirements. 

Rebild National Park

Have More Time? 

If you’d like to spend more than 7 days in Denmark, then you may want to head to Odense from Aalborg; the 3rd-largest city in Denmark, Odense is the hometown of Hans Christian Andersen and has its own unique character and plenty to see and do! Billund is home to the original LEGOLAND , too, which is great fun for children and adults alike. 

Or, if you want to see Denmark at its ‘peak,’ you can visit Himmelbjerget; it’s one of the highest points of the Danish landscape with an elevation of a whopping 147 metres! Its name even translates to ‘sky mountain,’ in reference to its height (which is impressive by Danish standards, in any case). 

Denmark is an incredible country, and both its cities and its countryside have so much to offer visitors. We hope that this itinerary helps you craft the perfect plan for your trip to Denmark and that you have an amazing time there!

  • Denmark by train

Welcome to the guide on how to save money and time and avoid confusion when travelling in and from/to Denmark by train.

Taking the train is an ideal way to explore Denmark as the longest possible direct journeys take no more than five hours and its main islands are now connected by railway bridges and tunnels.

Express trains operate at least hourly on the routes they take, but if you want to travel by them AND save money, then it pays to plan your journeys in advance. There are also a few things worth knowing before setting off to the station; particularly if you want to travel for the cheapest possible price!

The beautiful roof over the platforms/spor at København H station

Good to know about the trains:

Eight things which are good to know about Danish trains:

1 . DSB is Denmark’s national rail operator, but it doesn’t quite operate all of the trains in Denmark, including some the branch lines in Jutland.

2 . The four main train SERVICES operated by DSB are:

  • S-tog trains: the commuter train network in Copenhagen/København.
  • Regiontog: regional train services that link towns, some of these services used double-decked trains
  • Intercity (IC): long distance express train services
  • Intercitylyn ( LYN ): the fastest express train service on the København – Odense – Aarhus – Aarlborg route

Note that 'Lyn' refers to the service and not the trains. Lyn services call at fewer stations than IC trains, particularly between Copenhagen and Odense. The same trains tend to be used for both Lyn and the (slower) IC services.

3 . The majority of long distance train services operate at hourly intervals daily.

Routes with an hourly service in the normal timetable pattern are:

  • Copehhagen/Kobenhavn – Odense – Frederica – Arhus – Aarlborg *– by Lynn trains
  • Copehhagen/Kobenhavn – Roskilde - Odense – Frederica – Arhus – Aarlborg by IC trains
  • Copehhagen/Kobenhavn – Roskilde - Odense – Frederica – Arhus – Esbjerg by IC train
  • Copehhagen/Kobenhavn – Nykobing has 2 x trains per hour on Mon-Sat and at least hourly trains on Sundays

*These train services used to continue beyond Aarlborg to and from Frederikshavn, but connections are now required in Aalborg.

4 . Billund - the location of Legoland and the Lego House is currently is not served by trains, a new rail link is due to open in 2023.

5 . Øresundståg trains operate every 20 mins on the Niva - Kobenhavn - Kobenhavn Aiport - Malmo - Lund route. 1 x train per hour is extended beyond Lund to/from each of these three destinations in southern Sweden; Göteborg, Kalmar and Karlskrona.

6 . Swedish Snabbtåg trains provide multiple services per day on the Copenhagen – Stockholm route .

7 . Daytime EC trains operate between BOTH Copenhagen/København and Arhus and Hamburg. A change of train is required in Hamburg when travelling during the day to any other destination in Germany; and beyond.

8 . There are no sleeper trains on routes within Denmark and the only international sleeper trains are the Swedish Snalltaget services between Sweden and Berlin (summer) or Austrian ski resorts (winter), which during their journeys call at Hoje Taastrup station in the suburbs of Kobenhavn.

The national rail operator in Denmark is DSB and you can take folding bikes on any of its trains as hand-luggage, as long as when folded the bike measures no more than115x60x30 cm and you leave it on the floor of the train.

For non-folding bikes the ‘rules’ differ according to the type of train service you will be taking. For journeys by the IC (InterCity) and Lyn express train services you need to purchase a ticket for your bike prior to boarding and these cost a flat rate of DKK 30 (approximately €4). You cannot book these tickets online, so you’ll need to use a ticket counter or machine, but the bike ticket doesn’t guarantee that space will be available on the train – also bikes cannot be taken on board at all on some (the busiest) departures.

Booking a bike space on an IC or Lyn service is mandatory between May 1st and August 31st, but for peace of mind, ShowMeTheJourney’s recommendation is to book a bike space on these trains regardless of your travel dates, particularly as you will only pay the standard bike ticket price

ShowMeTheJourney's guide to booking these bike tickets is available here .

If you be will be travelling by Regional-tog services operated by DSB, or on local trains outside of Copenhagen also operated by DSB, you need to buy a ticket for you bike, but the price depends on the distance you will be travelling – they tend to be around 25% of the price of an adult ticket.

The journey guides include access to booking links and information about the trains, tickets and destination stations. Plus for the scenic routes there are insights on how to make the most of the rides on the trains.

Train ticket summary:

DSB is Denmark’s national rail operator, but comparatively few pages on its otherwise highly efficient website appear on the English language version .

However, the ticket booking pages ARE on the English language version. This is useful as it’s definitely worth making the effort to book tickets for express trains before you arrive in Denmark.

Aside from the core ticket booking pages, virtually all of the pages with useful travel information on the DSB website are only available on the site's Danish language version;that includes all off the pages linked to above. But use Google Translate and you shouldn't run into problems, as the pages themselves tend to be easy to use.

I.D. is required for Danish train tickets to be valid; so if when making a booking you select 'passport', you will need to have it with you when making non-international train journeys.

DSB offers limited numbers of DISCOUNTED ‘Orange’ tickets on the routes taken by its long distance train services; IC and Lyn AND Regional trains

These 'Orange' tickets can save more than 60% off the standard ticket price – so it’s worth tracking them down, though inevitably they can sell out quickly on the most popular trains.

Book discounted adult 'Orange' or non-discounted Standard' tickets on the DSB website for long-distance journeys which include travel over the Great Belt Bridge, and up to two children under 12 years of age, can travel with each adult ticket holder free of charge. Seat reservations are optional if you will be travelling by Lyn or Intercity services, so make sure you add them to the booking, if you want to be sure of sitting together.

Though the rules around travelling with children vary according to region, but in general they equate to free travel for those aged 11 and under /under 12 and at around 50% of the adult rate for children aged 12 to 15.

(1) Book tickets for the EC trains to/from Germany with DSB (these journeys are no longer sold by the German national ticket booking service, DB Bahn) - be sure to add reservations to the booking to be sure of sitting together (though seats are assigned when booking for summer journeys) Children and grandchildren aged 14 and under travel for free when accompanied by a parent or grandparent.

(2 Tickets for the Snabbtag trains to/from Sweden can be booked on SJ - the Swedish national rail operator's ticket booking service - seats will be assigned when booking An adult ticket booking on SJ on these trains enables up to two children, aged 15 and under, to travel for around 15% of the adult fare.

(3) On the Oresundtag trains to/from Sweden, up to two children under 12 years of age can travel free of charge with each adult ticket holder - reservations are not available on these trains.

Another plus of booking tickets online is that the majority of stations in Denmark don’t have ticket offices, in many location tickets can be purchased only from ticket machines or at adjacent 7-11 stores. So booking in advance online gives peace of mind that you won’t have encounter problems when trying to buy train tickets when you arrive in Denmark.

Reservations are available, but optional on IC and Lyn services.
