Good to know

Where can you swim in Copenhagen?

Amager Strandpark, reached on the fourth evening; it is a long sand beach on the Øresund with calm water and open sky, an easy end to the day.

Is Tivoli worth seeing alongside the palaces?

This itinerary pairs Tivoli Gardens with Frederiksberg Palace in one morning; the pleasure gardens are a paid site and, seen before the crowds, round out the old royal Copenhagen.

When does the guard change at Amalienborg?

Around midday the guard marches through the city to the palace square; timing the morning to reach the square by then is the way to see it.

Can tourists visit mosques in Copenhagen?

The two mosques on this route are working congregations; modest dress, shoes off and a quiet visit outside prayer times are the courteous norm, and both are easy stops on a walking day.

Should we get the Copenhagen Card for these 3 days?

All three days cluster paid sights in one area, so a pass can smooth the busiest mornings. Check which of the stops on this route it covers before buying, since entry fees for two people add up.

How far apart are Christiansborg, Amalienborg and the Opera House?

Christiansborg stands on the old town side of the harbour, Amalienborg and Frederik's Church share one square, and the Opera House sits across the water. A short walk and one harbour crossing link them.
