Guidebook for Frederiksberg and Copenhagen
Sightseeing, culture and art
Take a tour of the canals of Copenhagen. We usually use Nettobådene, which offer a glorious trip with young, nice and knowledgable guides at a very decent price. Find them half way through Nyhavn and then perhaps afterwards cross the new bike/pedestrian bridge to Broens Madkøkken at the and of Nyhavn for a meal and a cocktail from the trucks.

Goes without saying if you’re travelling to Copenhagen, with or without kids, Tivoli is always a good idea.
During the spring, summer and fall, every Friday there are concerts at the main green area in Tivoli, free of charge once you’ve paid your entry.

One of my favourite places. It takes about an hour from Copenhagen Central (Copenhagen H) with the train and app 1 km walk to the museum. They are excellent curators, there is always something amazing to see, as well as their permanent collections, the impressive gift shop and the cafe. The gardens and the beach are also accessible and I would recommend setting aside at least half a day for this activity, if not more. Check out their website for evening talks, concerts or poetry readings and extend your day to include dinner and a cultural event. You won’t regret it.

Parks & Nature
Stunning (!) park 15 min walk from our house where you can go sailing, chill in the grass and visit the elephant area of the Copenhagen Zoo for free. There are playgrounds, very clean restrooms and a little kiosk where you can buy e.g. snacks, coffee and ice cream. Recommend for a nice afternoon for a sunny picnic.
