1. We start the journey from ridiculously popular (because I never get why exactly is it is so attractive) sculpture – The Little Mermaid. Everybody who visits Copenhagen wants to see this girl of metal that is sitting on a stone. The sculpture is dedicated to the well-known fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen entitled “Little Mermaid”. By the way, Hans is Danish and had spent some of his most productive years in Copenhagen.
    Start walking from the Mermaid along the waterline in the direction of the city center and soon you will reach a cute park, on the edge of which you can find extraordinary piece of street art: a man on a key.

  2. The next in line is a historical and military complex, Kastellet. If you could observe it from the air – you would be amazed by the beauty of former military fortification which has a shape of a star. Actually, this place is one of the best preserved fortifications in the Northern Europe. You can freely access the hills and yard with the military area which is still active and belongs to the Danish Defence Ministry[1].
    I have heard already from a lot of locals that they enjoy jogging here. Some even come to fish in the pond in the hills. Can you imagine jogging around Pentagon in the USA?

  3. Following my route, you will come across one of many royal residences – Amalienborg. The square is surrounded by 4 twin-buildings, in which royal family spends its winters. Royal Life Guards dressed not unlike British Royal guards perform spectacular services and are usually followed by a bunch of curious tourists. In the center of the square Frederick V is sitting on his horse and looking at a Marble church, which is where we go next.

  4. Marble church is recognized from a great distance for its green copper dome. It is a popular place among locals to marry, and among tourists to visit. Chic and luxurious rococo interior hypnotizes and you can stand still for few minutes without noticing the flow of the time.

  5. Visit card of Copenhagen – Nyhavn. This harbor with its colourful houses is on every postcard and people buzz around here all day long. As you are allowed to drink alcohol on the streets in Denmark, a lot of people come here with their own beverages and sit along the edge of the sidewalk, enjoying the sunset in the heart of the city.

  6. If you walk following the presented route, next place where you get is Kogens Have or Rosenborg Castle Gardens. A charming park, designed in the Middle Ages to hold another royal residence – Rosenborg Castle. Treasures of the Royal Family are exhibited inside the castle. This is a nice place to make a stop and have a picnic on one of the lawns or in a cozy rose garden just in front of the Castle.

  7. Alter you had some rest we continue en route to the next point which is The National Gallery of Denmark. Admission there is free. Gallery comprises of two parts, and the architecture of each corresponds to the styles of art exhibited inside those parts. Old part of the building hosts European art dating back as far as the 13th century, and the new glass structure exhibits modern artists.
