The port area features music, cafes and restaurants, as well as an annual Christmas Market. Take a boat tour on the canal \u2013 or rent a kayak or a canoe and go at your own pace! In Christianshavn, you can see houses built on reclaimed swampy land and houseboats floating on the canal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-4e4b4f13-3b61-4dbf-b9dc-7bd83ef8a9cb\"><p><b>One of the World\u2019s Oldest Amusement Parks: Tivoli Gardens<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-bf67dc00-f0a0-4be9-b46d-e0f1e6ba5d0c\">Whatever your age, the Tivoli Gardens are utterly delightful. Set in the heart of Copenhagen, this amusement park, opened in the mid- 1800s, offers lush greenery, historic buildings, and both modern and nostalgic rides. At night, the park is illuminated by thousands of tiny colored lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-f1f84bc9-0a27-4076-a74b-6b968bd288f5\"><p><b>A Michelin Paradise Without Salmon<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-04bc68a3-cf2b-4bcc-a018-23bc33571b2d\">While touring Copenhagen, our guide Anne surprised us by saying that the salmon we love was found only in average restaurants in Denmark. She told us that salmon is preferred by the locals so it is not a fancy choice especially in luxury restaurants. In any case, Denmark does have a robust fishing industry, and wild salmon were, at one point, quite plentiful. Meanwhile, in addition to numerous cafes and coffee shops, the city also hosts the most Michelin-starred restaurants of any Nordic city \u2013 fourteen. It\u2019s worth making a reservation to sample seasonal Scandinavian ingredients and avant-garde tasting menus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\" id=\"block-b0cd9781-c64c-4e55-a035-99f24d36bb1a\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-53dc5847-9319-4c98-b193-86d7db5d3f4a\"><p><b>Where to Go in Copenhagen: Day Two<\/b><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"block-1d9f7b2b-c3f5-4f62-a479-e7a11e0c5f9a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kopenhagta-nereye-gidilir.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset over the Oresundsbron, Oresund Bridge\"\/><figcaption>If time permits, ride the train from central Copenhagen to the small Swedish city of Malm\u00f6 \u2013 the trip takes about 40 minutes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-85a2fc6a-b18f-44fb-b977-f220c22fdc60\"><p><b>Roskilde and the Viking Ship Museum<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-6e55b8a9-7403-48fd-a144-09c208c7f019\">Roskilde is home to the world-famous Roskilde Festival. Established in 1971, this lively music festival lasts an average of eight days. It is around a 45-minute drive from the center of the city, but worth a visit, particularly to see the spectacular Viking Ship Museum. In addition to exhibits on regional seafaring and boatbuilding culture in ancient and medieval times, the Viking Ship Hall features five preserved Viking ships, found in Roskilde Fjord. On display since 1969, the five ships include large and smaller longships, a fishing vessel, and a cargo ship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-03bdfa69-bf78-4d49-af76-82f9b88dc9f3\"><p><b>An Iconic Bridge: The Oresund<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-98c71d41-b033-4b2a-b65d-b390c45d9898\">The 7,845-metre Oresund Bridge \u2013 also featured in the \u2018Nordic Noir\u2019 Bron\/Broen television series \u2013 connects Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malm\u00f6.
