The iconic statue of the Little Mermaid is one of Copenhagen’s most photographed attractions, but many travelers agree it’s pretty disappointing. Luckily, the capital of Denmark is home to many more picture-perfect spots—including these three.
Nyhavn
A walk down Nyhavn is the quintessential Copenhagen experience. This historic waterfront, canal, and entertainment district is definitely the city’s most Instagram-friendly spot, and its brightly colored 17th and 18th-century townhouses have to be seen at least once in a lifetime. If you want to make your visit even more memorable, take a boat ride along the harbor and adjoining canals.
Superkilen
Located in the Nørrebro district, this breathtaking urban park is really worth the trip. In addition to offering a wide range of fun activities to locals, Superkilen became a popular tourist attraction thanks to its modern design elements from all around the world, including the picture-perfect curvy lines.
Botanical Garden
Beautiful botanical gardens are scattered all around the world, but none of them compares to the one in Copenhagen. It covers an area of 10 hectares and has an extensive complex of historical glasshouses that look equally impressive inside and out.
