Tivoli Gardens is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, having opened in 1843. Not only does Tivoli provide fun amusement rides, but also beautiful gardens, restaurants, daily live music performances and weekend fireworks. Be sure to visit in spring or summer as Tivoli is closed during the winter months, bar Halloween and Christmas.

Visit this indoor market to discover new culinary delicacies and delicious fresh produce. With over 60 stands selling everything from fresh fish to meat, as well as lots of small places where you can get food to takeaway including sushi, tapas and a delightful cake store called Granny’s House, there is something for everyone.

Perfect for a rainy day, pay a visit to the Danish Design Museum in the very centre of Copenhagen. Recommended for anyone with an interest in design, architecture and arts, the museum exhibits the development of Danish design throughout the 20th Century. Avoid the crowds and visit during their late-night opening hours.

The nicest and most memorable way to explore Copenhagen is undoubtedly on a canal tour. Visit in the summer to explore the city by kayak, available as a single or double. Alternatively, hire a self-drive Go Boat where you can kick back with a beer and snacks and drift around Copenhagen harbour at your own pace.

Although less renowned than the likes of the Design Museum Danmark and Statens Museum for Kunst, this small museum is a Copenhagen insider’s favourite, featuring more than six modern art exhibitions a year as well as films. In the past, the gallery has showcased the work of fashion heavyweights such as Mario Testino, while the ground-level gift shop sells design posters and many art and design tomes.

The Tage Andersen Gallery in Copenhagen sits just outside the city centre, old wired birdcages, exotic birds and rotting fruit sculptures fill the windows and spill out of the doors onto the pavement. Electing everyday objects and scenes, Tage reimagines the ordinary and succeeds in creating emotive pieces reflective of both the season and time. Far from being displays of superfluous vanity, his bouquets combine and contrast aspects of old with new to create a sensory fairy tale that does nothing short of feed the soul. 50 successful years in the industry — and numerous awards to show for it — are a testament to the success of his unique and progressive vision. A exciting and otherworldly place, The Tage Andersen Gallery is one not to miss.
