How we choose

Every place in our lists has been checked against its own website or an official source such as VisitCopenhagen, the Royal Danish Collection, the Agency for Palaces and Cultural Properties, the Capital Region of Denmark, Metroselskabet, DSB, Tivoli or The MICHELIN Guide. MICHELIN stars are quoted only from the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. We use no ratings, and we leave out anything we can’t confirm.

Before you go

Opening hours and seasons change often. Please check directly with each place, and with official sources, before you travel. Prices are in Danish kroner (DKK).
