What people say

"The Gefion Fountain is a truly impressive sight in Copenhagen. This colossal sculpture depicts the Norse goddess Gefion and her four oxen, plowing the land to create the island of Zealand. Its location in Langelinie Park, coupled with its monumental size, makes it a standout landmark. It's fascinating to think about the Norse legend brought to life in such a grand scale. The fountain's history, including its extensive renovation, adds another layer of interest to this already captivating piece."
"This Fountain resembles the Norse goddess, Gefion who transformed her four sons into oxen and had them plough so deeply in the ground that they raised the land and pulled it into the sea. This is how the island of Zealand was created in norse mythology. The fountain is stunning and is used as a wishing well. "

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.

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.
