Copenhagen Card Attractions

The Copenhagen Card is the official City Card of the Danish capital. This card gives you free entry to many sights and museums as well as several boat trips. The Copenhagen Card is a real all-inclusive package!

Note, however, that there are two variants of the City Card, which differ from each other. The Discover Card includes approx. 80 attractions, the Hop Card approx. 40 attractions.

On this page we present the seven most important sights and tourist attractions that are included in the Copenhagen Card.

Tivoli Gardens

Tivoli Gardens is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and offers a mixture of nostalgic carousels, modern rollercoasters and idyllic gardens. Since its opening in 1843, Tivoli has attracted visitors with its picturesque backdrop, evening light shows and regular live music events. The park is not only popular with children, but also offers numerous restaurants and cafés, ranging from traditional Danish to international cuisine.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace is now a museum open to the public that brings the history of the Danish kings to life. Visitors can stroll through the magnificent rooms, where impressive collections of royal artefacts, including the Danish crown jewels and ornate tapestries, are on display. The surrounding Rosenborg Slotshave, one of the oldest royal gardens, offers a peaceful oasis in the centre of the city.

Boat trip from Nyhavn

A boat trip through the picturesque Nyhavn harbour is the perfect way to discover Copenhagen's architecture. The historic harbour, known for its colourfully painted houses and old sailing ships, offers an insight into life in the 17th century. The boat trips offer a fascinating view of the city from a unique perspective and take you past other sights such as the famous Little Mermaid and the modern opera house.

Amalienborg Palace

Amalienborg Palace is the residence of the Danish royal family and an outstanding example of 18th century European palace architecture. The palace complex consists of four identical buildings arranged around an octagonal square. Visitors can attend the daily changing of the guard or visit the Amalienborg Museum, which offers an in-depth insight into the life and traditions of the Danish monarchy.

Round tower

The Round Tower is a unique architectural marvel and offers one of the best views over the rooftops of Copenhagen from its viewing platform. The tower originally served as an observatory and is known for its spiral ramp that allows visitors to easily walk to the top. Inside the tower there are exhibition rooms where changing art and cultural exhibitions are shown.

Hop-on/hop-off bus

A city tour by hop-on hop-off bus is a flexible way to explore Copenhagen. These tours offer access to all of the city's main attractions, including Rosenborg Castle, Tivoli and Copenhagen Zoo. The double-decker buses are equipped with informative audio commentaries in several languages, making them ideal for first-time visitors who want to get a comprehensive overview of the city.

The hop-on/hop-off bus is only included in the Hop Card (not in the Discover Card).

Copenhagen Zoo

Copenhagen Zoo, one of the oldest zoos in Europe, is home to a diverse animal world with over 3,000 animals from all over the world. The highlight of the zoo is the impressive elephant house, which was designed by Danish star architect Norman Foster. The zoo is a must, especially for families with children, as it offers a variety of educational and entertainment programmes, including guided tours and special animal feedings.
