Vor frue Kirke
This is a church with a grand golden spear. It is super cool and full of history and often open to visitors. It is possible to go all the way to the top of the spear, where you will have an amazing view of all of Copenhagen! There are alot of steep stairs that are somewhat hard to climb though.

Christiansborg slot is a palace and government building. It is the seat of the Danish Parliament (Folketinget), the Danish Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court of Denmark. I think you can get tours of the place which should be pretty cool. There are some really old ruins from the 12th century that I think you can see.

The royal stables. This is where the queen has her horses. I used to come here all the time as a child to look at the horses and old carriages. I don’t know if they are still open to visitors but if they are I can definitely recommend this! This could also be fun for kids to see.

Rosenborg Castle is a renaissance castle. The castle was originally built as a country summerhouse in 1606 and is an example of Christian IV's many architectural projects. Sometimes you can go into the castle, which is now a museum, and it looks like it did when Christian IV lived there

Rundetårn is a round tower built by Christian IV. It is very tall and you can go to the top of the tower where you get an amazing view of all of Copenhagen. It has no stairs, instead it has a “snail passage” that can fit a horse carriage, so that Christian IV didn’t have to walk to the top.

The freedom museum. This is a pretty new museum and I haven’t been here myself yet, but I know a lot of people that have and they all say that it is a really great museum. The museum is about the Danish freedom fighters from WWII, the occupation and the resistance struggle in Denmark in the years 1940-1945.

Tivoli is by far denmark's best amusement park! I came here many times as a kid, and it is such a fun experience. Tivoli was founded by Georg Carstensen in 1843, making it the world’s second oldest amusement park. The last couple years a lot of new rides have been built making it a little less pretty than it used to be, but nonetheless it is still a very pretty park. It is quite expensive, but it is a super fun place to go, I still love going there! On Friday nights they play live music. During this time there are not a lot of people on the rides, so there are almost no lines. If you wish to go somewhere less expensive try “Bakken (Dyrehavevej 62, 2930 Klampenborg)” it is a little further away.
