Before you travel to Copenhagen by train - good to know!

Copenhagen is on the coast, which means that the visitor can enjoy seeing the city from water. Many boat trips begin at Nyhavn and sail the visitor past the statue of the Little Mermaid and the Christiansborg Palace. Canal trips are also available. Another joy is open-air dining in one of Copenhagen’s many food markets, such as Torvehallerne. And for sheer fun, you cannot beat the extraordinary and surreal Tivoli Gardens near the city centre. Frederiksstaden is Copenhagen’s historical district. In addition to the Amalienborg Palace and the Royal Danish Playhouse, visitors delight in seeing the Odd Fellows Mansion. Built in the late eighteenth century, this Rococo house is open to the public and includes a concert hall.
