The city is filled with exciting things to see and do, and in our comprehensive guide, we cover both indoor and outdoor activities to inspire your Copenhagen adventure.
Beneath the majestic Christiansborg Palace, you can explore a fascinating piece of Danish history dating back years. At that time, this area of Copenhagen was considered an island outside the main city. The bishop built the wall to defend against the Wendish pirates, who were active along the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. The Blue Tower held high-profile prisoners, including political captives. How did she end up a prisoner? Her husband, Corfitz Ulfeldt, was accused of treason and conspiring with Sweden.
Ulfeldt fled the country, and his wife was imprisoned in his place. After exploring the city beneath the surface, why not discover it from high above the chimney tops?

Denmark and beer go hand in hand, with a long tradition of both drinking and brewing. In the early days, the water in Copenhagen was contaminated, so families were given a daily ration of beer, meaning that everyone โ including children โ drank beer regularly!
To learn more about Danish beer and brewing history, we recommend a visit to Home of Carlsberg. Carlsberg Beer was founded in by J. Jacobsen, later joined by his son Carl, and you can explore the rich history and heritage of their brewing legacy. Carlsberg has grown into the third-largest brewery in the world, so be sure to taste some beer before you leave.
