4 days in Copenhagen Itinerary

Founded in the 10th century as a Viking fishing village, Copenhagen has morphed into the cultural, political, and economic powerhouse of the country.

Visit St. Alban's Church and Roskilde Domkirke for their historical value. You'll explore and learn at Davids Samling (The David Collection) and National Gallery of Denmark. Venture out of the city with trips to Stevns Klint (in Store Heddinge), Fanefjord Church (in Askeby) and Eskebjerg Vesterlyng (in Eskebjerg). There's still lots to do: explore the galleries of Thorvaldsens Museum, stroll the grounds of Assistens Cemetery, stroll around Frederiksberg Have, and pause for some serene contemplation at Bjernede Rundkirke.
