This itinerary covers the main sights of Copenhagen in three days. It starts at the harbor and royal areas, moves to museums and gardens, then finishes in the historic center. The order groups nearby sites each day to limit walking between locations.
Three days covers the main central sights if you move efficiently each day. Buy a 72-hour city pass for transport and skip lines at paid museums.
Tickets are available at the gate but online purchase avoids queues on busy evenings. Current adult entry costs around 150 DKK.
No advance booking is required for standard entry. Arrive before 11 a.m. to avoid school groups and pay the 120 DKK fee on site.
Rent a bike at the central stations for 75 DKK per day or use the metro and buses with a Rejsekort. Most sights in the old city are within walking distance.
