"You cannot leave the country without seeing the capital of Oslo. It's a beautiful city, full of attractive buildings and vibrant culture. I recommend walking along Karl Johans Gate, the Main Street. And explore a bit around. Of course, you should see the Opera, too, located in the harbor. The metro to the airport is just in front of the Opera. "

Mentioned in these guides

Welcome to my city! I created the ultimate guide with more than 200 selected things to do, see and taste as a result of more than 21 years living in this city. When people think of Denmark, they often picture the statue of the little mermaid, Tivoli amusement park and lots of bikes. And while Copenhagen is all of that, there’s also much more to the city. Included are the best places to see between: - Castles - Churches - Parks - Hidden gems - Museums & Galleries - Panoramic points - Best restaurants, unique cafes, street food, brunch - Suggested itineraries & more Here you'll also find general information of the city, how to get around, what not to do and frequently asked questions, as well as suggested itineraries. Do you have any question? Send me a DM on Instagram @worldofsofiab or an email to world.of.sofiab@gmail.com Happy exploring! *** Disclosure: For attractions, I provide GetYourGuide and Booking.com links where possible. I myself love the vendors as you can keep all your tickets/stays in one place (even better with the Copenhagen card), you also get instant confirmation and can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your planned activity/stay - this is a major benefit in a city like Copenhagen where the weather can dictate your itinerary. Using the links provided also help me as a small business, as I make a small commission with no additional charge to you!
