Good shopping place. It has several brands outlet, most of them had atleast 20% discount going on. Adidas and some other sports brands had few other offers. Huge parking space and easy to reach by bus. Wish to see more food options.
Lalit Choudhary — Google review
It was such a fun place to visit. It reminds me of olden days having carnival. But you can find all the brands available in the market out there. Must visit.

Found some nice clothes and cutlery. Nice experience in general though Espresso house was not very well kept, tables were not cleaned and litter on the ground.
Staffan — Google review
It’s one of Very few fashion outlets there in Sweden, but it’s good with lots of options(brands) We can spend a whole day shopping, eating and walking here also kids have lot of space to play around.. good place to have a busy day
Tea captures — Google review
We had as usual a lovely time. As a tourist do remember to ask for the day VIP pass . Gives you an additional 10% on all shops even those shops that aren’t part of the Hede club .
Tough to use the cash back up l find, rubbish expresso house isn’t part nor gives any discounts.
Tax free only available in some shops but early pay out can be given at info centre albeit receipt needs to be stamped and sent in via envelope given for the cash not to be taken back.
Prices are ,when special deals on, good but no great bargains in general to be found if no deals on.
Jessica Males — Google review
A shopping center with just way too many stores, I haven't even had time to see them all.
Unfortunately the prices has risen since it changed name from "Freeport" (the name I also preferred), but it doesn't change the fact that you will have a marvelous selection of stores to look around in.
And once you get hungry from all the shopping, run over to 'Dine' for the best burgers in Västra Götaland! (I'm not an affiliate with them, just love their mouth watering burgers 🤤)
Philip von Bahr — Google review
Don't be fooled, it's definitely not an "outlet". All the prices are just as high (often higher) than regular prices anywhere else. Presumably they've just raised the "regular" prices so much that a 30% discount seems like a good deal.
It's a very nice atmosphere though, the walking around between small shops in an enclosed area that's kinda also outdoors.
Just don't go there hoping to make good deals. Cannot recommend 👎

Ultimate destination for clothing. There are shops for multiple brands. Most of the shops are not outlets hence it’s expensive. But you can pretty much find all the clothes and apparels here. Also they announce discounts and sale weeks quite often.

It was our first visit to Hede and the outlet was having a Black Friday sale. Had a great time shopping. The place was a bit small compared to other outlets that I have visited before but it was fun. It has a Halal restaurant too.

Nice place overall. It is outlet, open shopping center with most of nice brands. I like the environment.
Well-known superstore selling diverse goods on an expansive property with a campground & hotel.
Amazing place. A must visit every time I visit Sweden.
Now even bigger with a large bbq and outdoor furniture section

A huuuge shopping center 🏬 might say it’s almost a signature of Sweden, have never met any Swede who never heard about it... yet 😅 It has kind of everything you might look for… and at least doubled you never thought of… or didn’t even know existed 🥴
I will praise you if you can visit and exit empty handed 😉
Today I was mostly looking for motorhome stuff 🚐… and some yummies 😋 and the pics I took are only a small selection of all they sell. I love this store!
It’s easy to visit by motorhome and caravan as well, there’s a special parking, spacious enough to park easy and convenient 🅿️😊👍

This is a huge store which stocks probably everything a person needs. I was expecting much more though, after listening to the hype my colleagues had created. Good to pay a visit once.
Rupesh Gujrathi — Google review
Love this place!!! Pretty much has everything. Could easily spend a couple of hours shopping in here. Loads of places to eat and be merry. The television show is great too!
Real World Photographs. — Google review
Where to start?? I will cover what I haven't seen in other reviews
1. Be there early. Preferably on a week day where hopefully the crowd will be less. We visited on a Tuesday from 3pm to 6pm and it was still crowded
2. Have a Swedish coin with you for the trolley. You can't do without a trolley.
3. Prepare to spend about 6 hours if that is your first time.
4. There was dinning inside, we ate at an buffet restaurant beside the Gekas, but we suspect the food would have been cheaper inside the Gekas. Like ikea dinning
5. There are other shops, outside and around Gekas. I.e outlet stores apart from Gekas. I visited only Panduro because I like arts and craft pieces. Prices were cheap but not a lot of options like a real panduro. Those stores might be worth visiting, which means an additional time apart from the 6hrs inside Gekas
6. There Is a hotel about 200metres from Gekas. Might be worth looking into spending the night as opposed to making it a day trip. One day just doenst seem enough to come all the way especially if it is your first time.

This is a Swedish institution! It is very big and it takes many hours to walk around here and look at goods!
Found asome cheap offersbut also many more expensive ones! Everything you can think of is here! People travel from far away to shop here! I dont understand that equation! Some things are cheap, but I don't see a cost saving to drive 30-40 miles, which in itself costs a lot too!
Lots of people and sometimes chaotic when you have to keep track of the shopping cart and your company and cruise around between hundreds of other shopping carts!
Efficient checkout lines! lots of places to eat, both inside the department store itself, and outside in connection to the building!
Rob — Google review
A lot of space, nice stuff to buy, and the sports- cafe! Good salads and amazing cupcakes! No ps5 for sale, but other than that, a cool place to visit for sure. There’s a camping parking spot and big lots. No worries

So many items to shop, Mind will be bombarded for first timers, Need to plan and lost down items and go to that section and buy, thats it. I felt Many items are less price compare to other place .

Namasee Ganguly — Google review
This time around it was great. Not a lot of people, space to move around, got some great deals. Parking close by.
The food could have been better though.
Usually it is extremely crowded and people are just everywhere.
Remember to wear good walking shoes and ALWAYS take a picture of your shopping carts number in the front.
Placing shopping baskets under and in your cart is the best way to make your shopping experience 100%...

We were first time here. This was an experience for us we were from Stockholm bit far for us. Really big store you need to plan to spend a full day here. We were there for 5 hours we were really tired. It’s bit difficult find a staff and staff was not great helpful but worked.
Jose Maxwell — Google review
Very crowded place could move a meter without stopping and trying to get a bite yo eat is a struggle inside. Other than that it's a great place to save tons of money. Specially shopping for the holidays. There's everything you need or want.
Chrisss — Google review
One big store where you can get almost everything. From food, toys, makeup, clothes and even plants. So if you like shopping and a lot of people in one place, this is perfect for you. Low prices. You can shop all day and get food inside the store while your cart is placed outside the cafe (inside the store). The store is in the midle of nowhere, so it's a long drive... But the sorrounding town of Ullared has hotels and restaurants. Unike shopping experience...
Cecilie Moland Kristiansen — Google review
IF you get there e a r l y the check-out area can look like this!
But, it's more common to be in the line for about 1 hour...unless it's pay weekend, Christmas time and weekend!..then you should bring drinks and snacks!
It's a huge store. Huge. The hour will fly while you walk around department after department. A lot of useful things and good prices but also loads of less needed stuff! Dun, but less necessary. Stick to your list!
Just saw a battery driven Advent light w a remote control...Now THAT is taking everything sacred about Xmas to another level?
OK food and good prices.
Karin — Google review
After many years, I finally went to Ullared and i could say that it was hard. It's huge and really easy to get lost so make sure that at the entrance you take a map so you don't waste your time. This is not a place where i would go often, I don't like that much of a crowded place. Make sure you need to put a list and then go shopping, lots of things have got discounted prices from clothes to normal everyday stuff.
edina hotic — Google review
What a store, unbelievable experience!! Never thought such a store exists in Sweden. Never have I been to such a large store with so much different things! They literally have everything, outdoor furniture, shampoo, breads and soo much more! As a tourist you have to visit this place.

Tjolöholm Castle
Castle

English-style castle in early 20th-century decor, with landscaped park & gardens, plus guestrooms.
I loved visiting this place. It's a lot to it. You have second had, coffee/lunch place, a restaurant, beautiful garden, castle tour, coastal walk, old village and they even do plays there as well.
Worth a visit for sure! Very picturesque.

Good castle but you cannot go inside the castle, but just roam around the castle
The area around is too good and scenic and its nice for a day family trip
Vineeth Kuttippala — Google review
Beautiful place. It is a jewel. It doesn't matter if the sun is shining or the snow is falling it always feels like something magical.
It has a downside tho, I would advise checking the weather beforehand if you are to visit their Christmas market, I went on a rainy day and it was a bit painful because the market was in the open air.

It is a must for everyone passing by or coming close. You experience the past life, community ideas for perfect society and creative power of constructed castle and life given to perfect gardens. Ocean is calling you.
Vedran Salihodzic — Google review
If you’re within a couple hours from the location and like castles you won’t regret making time for this lovely spot . Ocean views , gardens that delight and so much more . The church and small homes on the property are also worth a short walk from the castle . One of them is decorated and open to the public . There’s a lovely church on the grounds as well . Coffee and fika available and a fantastic second hand shop too . It’s just fantastic !!
Happyshopper — Google review
Amazing place for a walk (dogs included). Friendly people. I loved the fact that the steeping stones on almost every incline was uneven and using normal stones. Gives the impression they were layed there by the castles original inhabitants. As a medieval Fan, its a must if your in the area!
Danyas Franken — Google review
We got the guided tour this time. It was presented as a story of the first owner who built the castle between 1898 and 1904. Sadly the first owners passed before they could use the castle much. It's Sweden's 2nd youngest castle. Great place to visit with little hiking paths in the forest area near the castle. Beautiful after a rainy summer.

Tjolöholm Castle is a charming blend of history and natural beauty. The castle’s intricate architecture and well-preserved interiors offer a glimpse into the past, while its stunning gardens provide a tranquil escape. Perfect for a leisurely stroll or attending cultural events hosted on the estate, Tjolöholm is a gem for those seeking a serene retreat with a touch of history.

On a bike packing trip through Sweden along Kattegattleden, we stopped in to admire the mansion (easy to miss on the bike trail with little signage, but easy to find with Google maps of course). The grounds themselves are lovely with placards posted around to provide information about the history. We opted for a self-guided tour of the mansion interior. The host inside who greeted us was friendly and knowledgeable and provided booklets that contained a good amount of information and points of interest for each room. Overall, I found the history mildly interesting, and it was a digestible amount of information that left me feeling satisfied with the stop.
Ryan — Google review
This castle would be a great place to spend a day exploring the history and architecture, while also enjoying the outdoors. The grounds are perfect for a leisurely stroll or a game of catch, and the forest is a great place to hike or have a picnic. This castle would be a fun and educational experience for the whole family.
Human remains from the Middle Ages & local history exhibits displayed in an ancient seaside fort.
Great experience, it has information in English and Swedish. It shows a lot of history about Varberg and Halland County. It was worth it buying the ticket and helpful staff who provided us with a discount for students.

If you like mud you can by it in the museum's store. The store people can tell whatever you want to here about the purpose of this mud. Just tell them what you want to use it for, they'll repeat it then. Have fun and mud on!

Interesting and interactive museum which offers a lot to see. Temporary exhibitions, impressionist artwork, the history of Halland and the Bocksten Man are just a few of the things you can see here. This makes the entrance fee quite worthwhile.
Halmstad Adventure Land is a small but enjoyable amusement park suitable for families with kids and individuals with special needs. The park features water slides, rides, and themed areas for pirates and dinosaurs. It offers surprise skits and circus acts that are worth watching. Despite its smaller size, visitors can still have a great time without getting tired or losing group members. Additionally, the free train to the city center is an added attraction.
We have been here with our kids, 3 and 2, they just loved it. Of course, we went there on one of the hottest days ever in Sweden, but that doesn’t take away anything from the amusement park, there was a lot of negative reviews about the place when we checked, and we were in two minds to go or not, but it was money and time totally worth spent. The staff is friendly, and the rides don’t have crazy queues, and there is quite a lot of them for the younger lots, both water based and otherwise.
Anoop k mathew — Google review
Much smaller yet equally entertaining park for the whole family. Lesser chance of getting tired or loosing a group member due to smaller size . The surprise skits and circus are worth a visit. The free train to city centre is enjoyable as well. Very good adventure park for families with kids and people with special needs.
Food not upto the mark !
No place to do your own grill !
Start an early day and take a train to city centre to get lunch or walk across the road to eat at burger king (which has an exceptionally good service )

If the quality is imortant for you don't go there! Poor quality of food, poor quality of instrument. They sell ticket unlimited so too many people so you will not enjoy in the water becuase you can not move!
As a result of having too many people in the pool water is not clean. Staff are not perfotional they can not even speak Swdish. Awfull experience don't be decived by pictures on their website.
Farideh Nazanin — Google review
Spent 1700kr for our visit with our 4 children and was slightly disappointed. Social distancing none existent in the park nor was it enforced. I noticed in the hut there was a shelf full of facemasks and not one staff member using them even when in close contact with so many people. We prebooked thinking that's what you had to do to secure entrance into there but they were just letting everyone in who hadn't prebooked. The park was over filled the overflow carpark was in full use. No one was obeying the rules either and no one was enforcing them, so the swimming area was chaotic! Also the changing room was too small and not enough showers. The bins were overflowing by 11am and toilets were dirty. Overall the park is pretty run down and needs fixing up with better hygiene facilities in place and perhaps some sort of security. Definitely not worth over 2000kr we spent on food and entrance.
Lee “Leeshylou” Lou — Google review
Really affordable price but after a few minutes you understand why. Paint work is overdue, carousels are sounding like they haven't been oiled in a few years and apparently they haven't got time to attach the toilets to the floor.
If you ignore this and focus on the fairly new water attractions then it's very affordable and could give you a pleasant day.
Tomas Gustavsson — Google review
Horrible experience! When we got to the line, 40 min before opening, there were 12 people in line. As time went by, more and more joined these people. We realized it’s a whole big family and their friends are joining by cutting in line the last 10 min before opening. Finally, we tell them because as they are increasing, we won’t get in even though we’ve been waiting for so long, but they don’t care and we don’t want to argue with our kids there. So we tell the staff (we counted and they were 49 - so from 12 to 49...). The staff were completely ignorant of this and neglected us and just said “well some families are big.” We left with very disappointed children, because we wouldve never gotten in. Avoid!
Tylösand is a stunning 7 kilometer-long sandy beach that is popular among sunbathers and swimmers, with its borders lined with dunes. The beach boasts great sand quality and ample parking space. Visitors can enjoy watching lifeguards train on the beach, making it a lively place to be. While the weather may impact the experience, Tylösand's natural beauty makes it worth visiting even during colder months.
Extremely beautiful beach great sand great parking was down there when the lifeguards were training and practising extremely good to watch them do their thing happy that they’re there The beach looks like it must be better on a sunny day but still cloudy Swedish weather day it is a very nice beach I would actually rated and compare it to an Australian beach it is a really really nice beach
Drew — Google review
Heerlijk strand met zacht zand, mooi uitzicht en genoeg plek zelfs als het druk is. Er zijn hier en daar wat strandtentjes en er zijn zelfs wc's en douches aanwezig.
(Volgens de locals is het zand van betere kwaliteit als dat van het strand van hawaii).
Aan het begin van het strand kan je heerlijk op de rotsen zitten en verderop kan je zeer fijn volleyballen of voetballen met de geplaatste netten en goals.
Het enigste nadeel is dat er later op de dag vaak veel kwallen aanspoelen, maar als je hier voor uitkijkt dan is het een heerlijk strand!
(Translated by Google)
Lovely beach with soft sand, beautiful view and enough space even when it is busy. There are some beach bars here and there and there are even toilets and showers.
(According to the locals, the sand is of better quality than that of Hawaii beach).
At the beginning of the beach you can sit on the rocks and further on you can play volleyball or football with the placed nets and goals.
The only drawback is that many jellyfish wash up later in the day, but if you watch out for this, it is a wonderful beach!

Nice beach in Halmstad. The water is very quiet and clean. It is a four-kilometre-long beach. It has been named Sweden’s best beach time and time again. You can even enjoy a walk and find Tjuvahålan and Svärjarehålan. The two bays have a small beach, rocks and a jetty – perfect for a nice walk with friends and family.

This beach was unexpectedly great! Best time to visit is on Midsummer.
The weather was nice and the sunset was around 9pm-10pm. You must not miss the beautiful horizon!
The water was quite cold at first but then very refreshing. We met lots of jellyfish (not dangerous) and shell near the shore. The beach got a little crowded around 4pm-5pm (after work). These caused long queue to the only snackbar/kiosk nearby.

We came here a day when the forecast promised rain but the sun was shining so we were pretty much alone. Amazingly wide sand beach with a lot of space for many guests. Pretty shallow water, great for the kids. Some kiosks around for Icecream and snacks.

Coastal area of rocky cliffs & rugged shoreline, offering walking trails & wild blackberry bushes.
Fantastic trails with amazing vistas. We came here on our first day in Sweden and were completely blown away. You can find all different kinds of berries along the way.

A picturesque nature reserve with nice hiking trails and a rocky beaches. Some amazing views from the many cliffs. The place has been used in many movies and hence marked as a 'Treasure of European Film Culture' ...The Hova Hallar Restaurant and Hotel is just by the main entrance of this reserve and serves a good staying and eating option!
This place is must visit!

This was the first thing I see when I entered Sweden and I can say the place is really beautiful to see and explore. It is an easy walk. So, you don’t need a lot of equipment to walk it. Also, there is a parking near.

Very very beautiful place. However certainly not really accessible with trolleys and kids if you want to go all the way down to the ocean. But anyway worth a visit. Good parking possibilities (free of charge), even possible to charge EV and PHEV vehicles. No idea about cost though.

Magnificent coast to explore. Lots of jumping from rock to rock so not for small children and very old people. There is a very nice restaurant to complete the rocky adventure.

We parked in the big parking lot towards the sea. There is also a toilet and water source, so great pit stop. There is a road going down towards the sea and from there you can explore the rocks. It can be tricky on the rocks, take care.

We stopped here so our kids could play in the amazing park. We all thought it was superb. Furthermore the public loos that are on site here were the best I have seen (even in Sweden). The petting zoo was great fun for all of us as well and gave us a chance to really talk about different animals.

There's also a place that has a ropes course high up in the trees.

Fantastic park for families. Petting zoo, great playgrounds, some museums, and a lovely ice cream shop. Also a train that goes into the city for the kiddos to ride. Plus entrance to the park is FREE!

The playground is fun for the little ones, but perhaps less so for bigger kids. Lots of farm animals, and a large herd of tame deer. Didn't try the zip-lines but the large course through the tree tops looks like it would be fantastic. Pricey though, at almost 400kr.

This is beautiful place for leisure and so much fun for children. This zoo have variety of animals and birds. Also it organise some adventure games for kids during summer.
Fantastic national park to visit and go for hike. Hike I would rate easy. Went there in autumn it was gorgeous with golden red leaves. There is couple picnic spots. Very nice view on valley when you get up the hill.
Martins Freidenfelds — Google review
Nice park, but a 900kr FINE for parking!! It is quite complicated to arrive there by bus. Most visitors drive their own cars having difficulties to find parking spots and risking to get a fine. Indeed, during my last visit, at the end of October, I counted more than 60 cars with a 900kr fine due to forbidden parking. I notice that parking signs/rules are not quite visible and clear for visitors which has a negative impact on the visitors' general experience.
Ruth B. L?pez — Google review
Perfect time to visit there now if you want to see the colour of autumn. Very nice for a little hiking too with kids. So many leaves and so many colours. Really beautiful day. We enjoyed our time there! This is the place you must visit every season for the year, because it’s so different.

Needs a place to grab a bite otherwise it's a spectacular display of Skånes nature. Plenty of parking space, accessible with wheel chair (around the lake), stroller and if you are in no mood to hike you can drive up to see view of the canyon.

Another adventurous day in the nature, in the scenic national park Söderåsens we took the route called Kopparhatten, which is one of the flat routes though I think it was a bit hard and steep. if you love nature then this park is great for enjoyment. besides that you can also bring your food for picnic and use the barbecue area. there is a playground for the small and childlike souls.
There is a small cafe car were you can buy coffee and cakes. In the main building here you can fine information about nature and walks.
The staffs are very friendly and helpful too.
Some routes are wheelchair accessible

One of my favourite national parks in Skåne. Just after parking your car you are rewarded with breathtaking views and the hikes are absolutely amazing. Ranging from easy to moderate there are countless options for everyone to choose from. More of these types of parks are needed to conserve the beautiful nature for future generations.

This is a must visit place I would say to enjoy hiking. There are 5-6 trails. My friend and I started from the red trail then connected to blue, yellow and orange 😁 we were so obsessed with the forest.
Kullen Lighthouse is a historic site located on the Kullaberg Peninsula, boasting a dramatic clifftop location that offers stunning views. The lighthouse, which has been in operation for over 1000 years, serves as an important navigational aid for heavily trafficked waters with its powerful 1000-watt beam that can be seen up to 27 nautical miles away.
A breathtaking natural panorama unfolds before you, offering both a serene seascape and the enchanting presence of a historic lighthouse. This destination is a perfect choice for a relaxing weekend retreat, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of nature while also reflecting on the historical significance of the area.

Wonderful peninsula for hiking - no difficulties. The round tour (marked orange) is recommended. Pack a bathing suit and plenty of time, it's worth it. The visit to the centre at the top (halfway point) is also worthwhile. Especially noteworthy, outside, the litter educational trail with the final post with plastic bags to help keep nature clean.

Amazing view! There are lots of small walkpaths everywhere. So Nice. There are up and thetre are lots of downs! Wear nice, comfortable shoes!
NO HIGH HEELS! NO Birkenstocks or School sandals. You need to be able to walk without falling!! Lots of People are falling on the rocks that are everywhere. And also the paths are very steep! Nobody can help you if you fall down. It is too steep, to narrow, to high! In the nearby area, by The caves. Do NOT try to walk beside The walkpaths. It is only stupid! It's so idiotic to do! It is not cool! A couple of weekend ago a 11 yrs old boy fall badly... So parent. Watch your own legs and take care of your children! Overall. It is beautiful to visit The lighthouse and The area. Bring water. You can by food, icecream and drink in nearby cafe'. Visit restroom/toilet before you come to lighthouse!Good luck! Relaxa. Enjoy!

Incredible views! Easy walk that is dog friendly. There a bunch of trails to choose from but it’s a relatively short walk from the parking lot to the light house. There is a visitors center at the top with whale watching views. There is a replica of the old light house that was basically a flaming torch next to the newer more modern lighthouse. We did not find any mushrooms on our walk but we were looking.

Great spot to spend quality time with friends and family. Plenty of parking spaces available. There is a fee of 30kr to go on top of the lighthouse. You will get a binocular to look around. There are at least 5 hiking trails around this place with easy to hard difficulty levels. Be prepared for strong winds.

It was a very beautiful scenic view from the top, towards the waters. The place was not crowded much. The sunset view, was a treat to the eyes! Lovely colors of sky, nice place to visit.
We also walked down the path, Mountain path near the Lighthouse which lead us near the rocks towards the water. The path was not very hard to walk down, it also had trails to balance. The small rocks might be bit slippery if it is raining. Nice place to spend around!

Kronborg Slot, a 16th-century castle that served as the model for Elsinore in Shakespeare's Hamlet, is an impressive Renaissance structure declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its baroque green-copper spires crown a vast complex surrounded by moats and fortifications with Vaubanesque star bastions. Visitors can explore the inner palace's rooms adorned with tapestries and ceiling paintings, and marvel at the viewpoints it offers.
The castle is very interesting and filled with history.
I really am thankful for the amazing staff there. They are very good with speaking English and are very welcoming to everyone.
Me and my group had a tour guide and he was incredibly funny and interesting. He told us a lot of things I didn’t know about the castles history.

A good museum but it felt like it could be great.
The phone-based tour seemed incomplete and didn't flow well; also three of the four "tracks" were only in Danish (perhaps it's very new?).
The live action guides were okay but also could have been more engaging with adults.
The "cafe" was disappointing.

Kronborg Castle is a treasure, transporting visitors back in time with its rich history and breathtaking architecture. Don't miss the chance to see the famous "Hamlet's Castle" where Shakespeare's iconic tragedy was set – it's truly magical. Besides the captivating history, the castle is surrounded by well-maintained gardens, providing a peaceful spot to relax and take in the panoramic views.

The castle is worth visiting even without paying to go inside (the ticket is kinda pricey, 14€ per person). The place looks wonderful, and while resting on the beach we even sighted a wild seal and a harbour porpoise!
Around the castle there are lots of workshop and art galleries which is nice as it feels like local artists really have a way to express themselves and get the possibility to expose their work.
The little gift shop is also a bit pricey but it has funny little Hamlet-themed quirks.
Too bad they didn't write "to be or not to baby" on the baby onesie 😆

Kronborg Castle is an absolute treasure that deserves every one of its 5 stars. Steeped in history and famously known as the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet, this castle is a must-visit destination.
Walking through the halls and chambers of Kronborg Castle feels like stepping back in time. The rich tapestry of Danish history comes alive as you explore this magnificent fortress. From the imposing battlements to the intricate details of the interior, every corner tells a story.
The connection to Shakespeare's Hamlet adds an extra layer of intrigue and fascination to the visit. It's as if you've stepped onto the stage of one of the most iconic plays in literary history.
Kronborg Castle's location at the edge of the sea adds to its allure, offering stunning views of the surrounding waters. Whether you're a history buff, a literature enthusiast, or simply looking to immerse yourself in the beauty of Danish architecture, this castle has it all.
Kronborg Castle is a historical and cultural marvel that should be on everyone's bucket list. It's a place where the past comes alive, and every moment feels like a journey through time.

There are plenty of things to do and see at the castle, if you are with private tour then you will get more time to explore. View from the top of tower is magnificent, steps aren’t that tough. Each room explains its history. Exploring the case mates below the ground was fun. Some areas are totally dark. I loved the countryside drive. Its worth to visit👍

Beautiful place, absolutely recommended. The castle is really well preserved, the whole surrounding area kept in excellent condition gives the place the right lift. It's nice to visit these places without excessive crowds, immersing yourself a little in the "part". In the facing area you can organize a nice picnic or visit Helsingborg, a characteristic town is pleasant. A word of advice, Go into the alleys the urban architecture is a fantastic surprise.

Fun castle to visit. Courtyard has lots of activities, like stilt walking and how medieval workmen used pulley systems to lift stones. Jesters, and Courtisan actors around the castle to provide interactive fun.
Castle rooms interesting with lots of well written information. And encouraged to sit / touch / play act in parts... even a Hamlet set.

This is the famous castle mentioned in Shakespeare's Hamlet, Kronborg. It's only an hour train ride north from Copenhagen. If you have purchased the Copenhagen city pass, your castle entrance is FREE. The souvenir shop inside the castle has a lot of stuff on Shakespeare.
Come visit just to see the history, the beautiful scenery and ocean view.
If you have the time, the ferry is a short distance from the castle and a 20-minute ride to Sweden. The Swedish people are NICE and friendly!!!!!

This is a castle and stronghold. It is also famous world over as the setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet. The castle is open to visitors including the royal chambers, the ballroom, the chapel and various other sections. The staff provides a quick introduction after which one is free to explore the castle on their own. There was a lot to learn about the Danish history and specially about Kind Frederick II and his queen who was quite astute with managing the finances after the King. The castle is walking distance away from the Helsingör central station which is also where the ferry from Sweden disembarks. There are washrooms available in the castle premises.

One of the most important sights in Denmark that you must not miss. The museum in the castle takes you far back in the Danish history. Just opposite the castle there is a new Library which is also worth visiting. Helsingør itself is also a nice town worth seeing.
The M/S Maritime Museum is a distinctive and contemporary underground museum located in a dry dock near Kronborg Slot. The museum showcases Denmark's seafaring history and culture through interactive multimedia galleries, as well as exhibits on sea charts, nautical instruments, wartime objects, and modern shipping containers. Additionally, the exhibitions explore topics such as sailors in popular culture, exploitation in overseas colonies, and global voyages of shipping containers.
Unique, interesting and informative! M/S is a great museum for all ages and tastes. Lots of good maritime information as well as explorations of culture, fashion and fun. The location is truly unique in an old drydock. Good view of this from the Cafe.

This place has lots to offer and there is a lovely section for children. One can learn about a variety of things such as the role women played, tattoos and instruments to facilitate navigation.
Another important aspect of this Museum to appreciate is the architecture. For example, as one ascends the staircase from the cafe, the views are alluring and I tried to capture the unique way in which this place is built in some of my photographs.
Before one gets to the exit, there are some wonderful model ships to see.

I found this museum to be very interesting, especially the first half, where they tell you about the sailors life. I must say, however, that this museum is oriented mostly to people that doesn't sail or that is not that familiar with sailing/maritime life.

Amazing architecture and reuse of the old shipyard! We spent a bit over an hour and a half here.
135kr is the ticket price. We thought it was free as we went in via the Cafe and never saw a ticket counter until leaving through the amazing gift shop.
We saw collections of Danish shop models and in particular a lot of fabulous interactive displays covering globalization, wartime and the best kids area i may have ever seen!
On display currently is the pearl divers from South Korea. Amazing cultural pearl (pun intended 😎)

They have a good collection. If you are really interested in maritime things then you can easily spent 1 day. If not and if you don't have the copenhagen card don't bother buying the tickets. I would recommend spending more time at the Kronborg Castle and then if you still have time take a walk round the castle, have a nice lunch take a stroll round the old city.

I absolutely LOVED this place and the funny thing is that I didn't know what to expect.
I knew Denmark was a country with maritine history but it's so rich and detailed that it makes for a very interesting museum.
Ships and the maritine life are both fascinating. Although I know it's not for everyone, if you have the time while in Helsingør I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what this place has to offer

Purva Merchant — Google review
A fun museum with a jumble of exhibits, all loosely focused on the sea. For example, there are lots of exhibits with model ships and explaining shipping, then there's exhibits about sailors in pop culture, and you can give yourself your own (non-permanent) sailor tattoo. There's an indoor play area that slants so that you feel like you're at sea, and they have sea chanty karaoke, including "what do you do with a drunken sailor." Then there's rotating exhibits, like one about Korean women free-divers who harvest food from the ocean floor. It's all iver the place! But it's fun, and it's a cool building built into an old dry dock. It's a good place to visit with kids, but stick together! It's easy to go in circles in there, looking for each other.

Today I went on a walk around Lund, Sweden, to discover what was intriguing. The Botanical Garden was one of the places I visited. This Botanical Garden is located in the middle of Lund and is a popular place for people to walk, exercise, and play. Despite the fact that it was winter at the time of my visit and the trees were not in bloom, it was a stunning sight to behold. Lund's architecture is reminiscent of castles and forts from the Middle Ages, when people lived and fought in castles and forts. Since this was my first vacation to Sweden, this garden provided me with such a magnificent experience. I'd want to visit in the summer. Any visitor in Lund, should visit this place.

The fact that you don’t need to pay to enter to the botanical garden makes this place even better. The park has a lot of different species and every one is tagged with the scientific name and the Swedish name! There is also cozy and nice cafe and of course a greenhouse. You can also bring your picnic blanket and enjoy the nature. I highly recommend this place and it’s definitely a must to visit place in Lund.

Lund Cathedral, an iconic Lutheran church constructed in the 1100s, boasts a unique astronomical clock and weekend organ concerts. The Romanesque cathedral is known for its twin towers and impressive wooden figures that come to life during the striking of In Dulci Jubilo. Finn, a mythological giant who helped with construction, can be found within the crypt along with a comically carved 16th-century well.
A little Swedish wonder. I enjoyed everything in this cathedral: the historical context for its building (the artificial creation of several bishops to gain the autonomy against the archbishop of the Hanseatic league), the sculptures on the stalls, the crypt and its couple of evil giants turned into stones, the permanent clock, etc.

Lund Cathedral is a stunning masterpiece of architecture and history. Stepping inside, you're instantly transported through centuries of Swedish heritage and religious significance.

I've heard good things about the Lund Cathedral, unfortunately when I went, there was a service and guest couldn't go in. The exterior was also under renovation, along with the building next to it. I would not recommend to come during April due to all the events, and also not on a Sunday. The exterior though looked OK, hopefully I can come back in the future when everything's completed.

It was a great experience to see one of the oldest buildings still in use in Sweden and is home to several historic furnishings and works of art! It is in the centre of the city, close to many restaurants and cafés. There is no entrance fee to enter the Cathedral, but you could buy brochures or guided tours!
Don't miss the astronomical clock that dates from around 1425. It displays signs of the zodiac and the phases of the moon!

We were lucky enough to be there when it rang, and the mechanical workings were incredible to see and hear. It was by far my favorite church that we stopped at in the southern part of Sweden (admittedly, we didn't go to every single one). The lady at the front desk was extremely helpful as well and answered all of our various questions very kindly.

This is a grand cathedral. I was surprised to see its size and age. It's nearly a thousand years old. Entry is free. Its very beautiful from inside.

900 year old cathedral 1123-2023 carries a lot of history. The astronomical clock runs at 12:00 and 15:00. It is particularly interesting with a carousel of figures coming out of the clock.

During our visit to Lund Cathedral, we were treated to a truly remarkable experience. Consecrated in 1145, the cathedral holds significant historical importance and houses numerous renowned artifacts. The medieval clock and 11th-century crypt are just a couple of the fascinating features within. It comes as no surprise that the cathedral attracts over 700,000 visitors annually. With three stars in the Guide Michelin's Green guide, it stands as a prominent example of Roman architecture. The best part was that entrance to the cathedral was free, and nearby parking spaces were readily available. The friendly church staff added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, our visit to Lund Cathedral was a treat for the eyes and a captivating journey through history.
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark showcases an impressive collection of international contemporary and modern art dating back to 1945. The museum also features temporary exhibitions and is suitable for all ages. Visitors can bring their own food and drinks or dine at the cafeteria/restaurant. The facility is easily accessible with baby strollers and boasts creative spaces for children to play and create.
I love this place & have a membership! I have been there almost half a dozen times. Love the exhibitions, the painting & drawing area for kids (I have done it too), sitting in the garden outside or in the restaurant overlooking the sea, getting the sun, enjoying sumptuous meal with your loved ones! It’s a whole experience. Must visit if you are coming to Copenhagen. I live here but I love it so much I have a membership 🙂

I won't necessarily define it a "must-see", but if you've spent enough time in Copenhagen and you're running out of ideas for where to spend one afternoon, you should consider coming here. But only if weather is decent enough! You don't want to miss out on the sculpture garden, which also accounts for enriching your experience at the museum. It is simply way better if you can walk outdoors and enjoy admiring the sculptures and the surroundings when brightened by the sunlight. Speaking of the exhibitions, it's all about modern art, and a few creations really got my attention. I visited during the Peter Cook exhibit, which was really a "Wow!". Of course, even if you're not an art expert, you need to show up with the mindset to embody yourself in the artist and really try to understand the background behind certain masterpieces, otherwise your reaction to most of the exhibits is going to be like "What the heck is this?". You can easily spend 2-3 hours here if you're an average person like me (not really into art, but curious enough to learn something new), otherwise if art is your thing, consider taking the whole afternoon. Easily accessible by car, there's plenty of parking outside. Overall, an enjoyable experience for a fair price.

Nestled into a beautiful seaside beach with impressive landscape where architecture meets Nature.
Louisiana museum has the World class collection of Modern & Contemporary art, which draws visitors from all over the World. It is a fine museum worth visiting. Especially during Summer days.
The most memorable feature of this museum is the connection -between Inside and Outside- is carefully choreographed to maximize the sense of place and reduce the museum fatigue often occurs in a claustrophobic space in large museums.
The collection and exhibition -A. Giacometti, Modern paintings and well curated Temporary exhibitions are superb examples that make this institution impressive. Access from Copenhagen via simple train ride is clear and convenient. Two thumbs up!

My favorite museum!!! Went there several times during my stay in Copenhagen. After my first visit I loved it so much that I cancelled all my sightseeing in the following days and went to Louisiana. So many good things about this place. First and the most obvious one is the design of the whole place is stunning, including the architecture and interior design and that nice park behind the building. Everywhere is so pretty! You can also enjoy a nice sunset by the sea after your visit. Second is the exhibitions. I met my favorite exhibition by far, epic waste of love and understanding by Ragnar Kjartansson, every work of him is worth appreciated, I actually stayed in the room of “a lot of sorrow” for more than six hours to watch this six-hour-long video non-stop. I really grow on modern art here. Also, the opening hour there is very friendly, they are open until 10pm on weekdays. Love this place so much, really looking forward to going back!!!

The museum and its setting, sans the art, is an experience in itself - a beautiful small complex of interconnected buildings set upon a hill facing the sea (ok it’s probably a strait but it’s sea if you don’t look at the map). Make sure you descend down to the sea and touch it and smell it and sit upon the little pier. Perhaps even swim in it as we saw some brave locals do! Brave because the water was already cold at the end of September. But seriously bring a bathing suit in the summer!
I don’t love Giacometti, which the museum has a lot of, but did find other sculpture to love and admire there. This is largely a sculpture museum.
It is outside of (or on the edge of?) the city but very easy to get to and very worth it! In my opinion, this the most unique of Copenhagen’s museums.
My first time here I also had a great sandwich from the more casual cafe, but it appeared to be closed when I came at the end of September this time. There is a more formal sit down cafe that overlooks the sea also.

Louisiana is one of the best museums in Europe if not the world.
The whole experience you get from the moment you enter, to exhibitions and even the cafe are more than satisfying. You will see everything here from modern contemporary to classics to sculptures the museum has it all.
In order to get here from Copenhagen you must do it either by car or train. Train was very easy to get and takes around 45 minutes from Copenhagen to Luisiana.
Make sure to arrive early in the morning to avoid the queues, this place gets packed during the weekends. Allow anyway around 3-5 hrs to have a relaxed but full experience

Even though I'm not particularly interested in art museums, I was captivated by the beauty of this one. It's about an hour's train ride from downtown Copenhagen, but I think it's well worth the visit. The excellent layout, atmosphere, and the way artworks are integrated with the natural surroundings are very impressive. I highly recommend visiting it.

What a beautiful museum! I went there during my stay in Copenhagen and loved every moment I stayed there. The selection of artists and works is great and everything is so beautifully displayed in this amazing building where you can navigate between inside expositions and outside to either watch a piece of art, have a coffee or a snack or bask in the sun. I may dare to say, one of the most beautiful museums I’ve visited.

Lovely seaside gallery about 40 minutes outside the city; one of the most enjoyable day trips I've had in a while. If you're in Copenhagen, you want to make time in your schedule for a visit.
Super interesting and diverse exhibits, plus the outdoor sculpture garden is quite mesmerizing.

The most beautiful museum I’ve ever visited!
This museum blew my mind. All the exhibitions were incredible, well thought, beautiful and touching. I especially enjoyed Ragnar Kjartansson’s exhibition, it was absolutely brilliant. The museum itself has beautiful gardens, it’s in a forest on the beach so it has amazing views.
Definitely don’t miss it!! Worth the 30 minutes train ride and the entering fee.

An absolutely stunning experience! Though it’s a bit of a journey, about 50 minutes from Copenhagen, visiting the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is immensely worth it. Each moment spent here is filled with awe and appreciation for the modern art collections and the unique ambiance of the museum. The trip itself was super cheap price for the rich cultural and artistic experience that awaits. Highly recommended for art lovers and explorers alike!

No words needed really. World renowned art museum. Go early in the morning via train, buy your tickets in line, explore for a few hours, stay for lunch at the cafe - it’s worth it. We were blessed enough to have a cool sunny day, don’t miss the sculpture outside.

The majority of photos were from the warm days so I wasn't sure what to expect during my visit in February. But it was perfect. Actually, that's the best thing I've experienced while visiting Copenhagen.
Beautiful park, cool architecture, nice sculptures. Very easy to get there by train (I purchased train tickets online via the Dot phone app, highly recommend).

Wonderful experience, in beautiful grounds.
Obviously the art exhibits inside change regularly so the experience will always change.
We spent a whole Sunday here, arriving around lunchtime, finishing the day with a meal in the restaurant, which was delicious.
As a coeliac there were lots of gluten free options in the restaurant.
As an art lover, there was a good mix of the classic early 1900s and modern art through the visual of video and interactive art installations.
As a lover of scenery, you would be hard pushed to enjoy more beautiful grounds at any art gallery.

What a lovely place! Great architecture, wonderful outdoors, good food and of course incredible art. We spent here two hours since we were on a timetable, but we will reserve more time for our next visit. You can easily get there from Copenhagen by train. The walk from the train station is less than 1 km. If you come by car and the museum's parking lot is full, you can leave the car next to the train station and walk.

Didn’t have too much time in Copenhagen but so glad I made the time to visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Made my way there for the Pussy Riot exhibition - one of the best I have seen. The building and surroundings themselves are reason enough to visit. Located on the coast and with beautiful greener surrounding this wonderful architectural feat I would highly recommend this as a much visit destination for lovers of the arts.

This museum is situated at a unique location facing the ocean. Ajoined by basement compartments, the 3 separated houses of the museum are bigger than what u see on the surface. Furthermore, the space for the outdoor sculpture garden was spacious with the ocean as the background. You have to give yourself a good 3 hours to view the exhibitions inside out. Really like the overall setting & currations. Definitely worth the 50min train ride from Copenhagen Central Station + a 15min walk to the Muse if u could spare your time for a visit🤩.

Absolute must-see on a calm weekend day ! The train ride from Copenhagen to the small town is quick and the museum is reached fast. There was no waiting line and a friendly staff welcoming us. The exhibitions were well curated and multifaced. Calm, interesting and interactive to a certain degree. The sculpture garden is worth a visit itself ! Many paths lead you around the buildings and there are many pieces to discover. When the weather is clear you can see sweden just on the other side of the water. The restaurant has a great choice of dishes, the shop is quite big and we were able to find a nice poster in a huge collection they offer. Extra plus point that they give you a protective cardboard roll for the purchase.
It was one of the best museum visits I had so far and would recommend everyone who is even just slightly interested in contemporary art :)

Besides the exhibition, there is a beautiful garden which connects with the sea 💚

If you go there when nature is green or the weather is not so windy, you will have a wonderful experience 😊

Must visit museum in København/ Copenhagen city!
Located quite Far from the city center, at Humblebaek area and you should also walk about 800m- 1 km to get to the museum.
I visited just last Wednesday and arrive before 11 am and it’s already very packed with people, crowded queue and wow most of them are elders. Very impressive.
The contemporary artworks collection are insanely rare and authentic. Details and caption explaining very well, the interior and exterior really pops up your mind when pay attention to the details.
Don’t forget to walking around at the backyard park which is amazingly beautiful landscape scenery that you ever seen, with the flowing river underneath where you can enjoy the view while sitting down with your meal and gazing to the art statues etc.
Definitely a gem and will be back!
And also there is kids section for those of you who visit with kiddos don’t worry.

If you are in Copenhagen and thinking is it worth an hour's journey, it totally does. Do it!

Easily a day trip! Wow!
Frederiksborg Castle is an impressive 17th-century fortress-palace situated on the banks of Slotso lake in Hillerod, Denmark. The palace boasts stunning Dutch Renaissance architecture and features Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. It now houses a museum of Danish and royal history showcasing over 80 rooms filled with beautiful furniture, tapestries, historical paintings and art pieces. The central courtyards are accessible for free along with the beautifully manicured baroque gardens.
A little bit off the beaten path, but easy to get to by train, especially with the Copenhagen Card. There’s a nice walk through the park to get there from the train station, and a gorgeous lake and gardens, too. The castle itself is impressive! Definitely worth the trip, especially if you have the city card.

Spectacular castle experience. The audio tour was informative and not too long. Bags are not allowed inside, but they have lockers available. The building is cold and quite dark, so keep your coat on. Staff was friendly. Organ concert was at 13:30 and quite cool to see. We spent 3.5 hours there. We recommend that you get there right at opening, because you can definitely use all 4 hours they were open. (Limited hours in January). Take a spare battery to be sure your phone stays charged for photos and audio tour. Keep your coat on, because the castle is relatively cold. The museum offered flashlights which came in handy. The castle store was pretty good. After we were kicked out at closing time, we enjoyed walking down the town’s walking street and getting something to eat, on our way back to the train station.

You can take the train line A from Copenhagen central station for 38 minutes with around 10€ and you will then walk around 17 minutes to reach the castle. The scenery from the lake is breathtaking.
I definitely recommend visiting it as it’s a must see while you are visiting the Denmark.

The place is amazing, magnificent, with a nice, peaceful walk around the castle and the gardens. But there is a bug negative for us. Even though they have an audio guide and an app, there is so little history told in these guides. All they talk about are various personalities from Denmark and their paintings, whereas they should talk more about the great history of Denmark and of the castle. The rooms are a bit empty, filled with paintings mostly. Feels a bit like gallery.

I would like to say, this castle is one of the beautiful castles in the world, Situated on 3 Islands and surrounded by a lake and beautiful gardens, it's simply spectacular and breathtaking. Unlike other other famous great castles I have visited in Europe, we were able to get as close as to the display, artworks, furniture etc...free to roam and explore at our own pleasure. This castle is absolutely worth a visit or must visit while in Copenhagen, it's really something!

The Little Mermaid statue is one of the most iconic and recognizable statues in Copenhagen, Denmark. The statue, created by Danish artist Edvard Eriksen, is of a character from H.C. Andersen's fairytale.
Went to see the mermaid because it is a must when visiting the city.
Some people say it is not worth visiting because of how small it is, and because it’s only a statue.
However, I think it is worth visiting, although the statue is just what you can see in the picture, the place where it is is very beautiful, you do need to walk 15-20 minutes, but with such gorgeous views it isn’t a problem.

The little mermaid is one of the iconic sites of Copenhagen. The mermaid is located on the Kastellet (the citadel) area of the city, which is Europe's oldest in use barracks.
The area provides ample opportunities to take photos and I highly recommend walking the grounds to get the best perspectives.
The mermaid itself can get very busy with tourists, however there are plenty of angles to capture shots whilst avoiding photo bombers.

The most notable landmark of the city. It is situated in a nice park next to the sea so we had such a nice walk to reach it that day. I was not surprised by the size but quite the opposite I thought it was going to be super small while it is like human size. It was crowded but still easily approachable. I was also surprised that tourists can reach and touch the statue itself.

I came here because 'you have to' and after traveling to multiple countries, I guess I'm used to see landmarks that are not spectacular per se. The story behind the mermaid was what initially attracted me. The statue is very simple and even discrete, at night there's not even a light to highlighted it. The area around is gorgeous and it makes the visit worth it.

It’s a very unique place and lot of tourists reach this place to see the beauty of this statue. More children are exited to visit. To have a visit we can take the public transport, can walk or can have a ride in a boat with all the information guides. I went by walking and I recommend to walk from the center so you can find everyplace while you reaching this destination. It was a small statue. Near you can find some ice cream tracks and some other food tracks also. If you have time can visit to this place or you can skip also while you planning your travels. There are some many people so if we need to take a picture with the mermaid we need to wait little longer. It’s free. No need of a ticket

I found the statue to be quite charming and the area to be lovely for walking. The statue isn't huge, but the draw isn't the size but instead the story. Work with angles and camera zoom and some nice shots can be taken, too. I'd recommend a visit and also encourage others to explore the area around the statue.

Based on the 1837 fairy tale of the same name by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, the small and unimposing statue is a Copenhagen icon and has been a major tourist attraction since its unveiling in 1913. In recent decades it has become a popular target for defacement by vandals and political activists.
Mermaid is among iconic statues that symbolize cities.
You can sit on bench and enjoy the view.

Not much to look at, except a little statue sitting atop a rock, in some water. But I hear its a must visit landmark when in Copenhagen, so I guess it means a lot to a lot of people.
Expect large crowds at most times of the day, tons of people fighting for the perfect selfie spot for the memories. Not much else, I have to say. And, oh, mind the rocks when finding your selfie spot.

It is a lovely statue but oh my, so so many people taking pictures! I couldn't get close to it at all to see the Little Mermaid properly. The rocks are slippery when wet and I saw quite a few people slip. If you have time in the city, go a little later on or early, to avoid crowds.

If there is a lack of signs on the many sculptures, Google will help you to tell the story.

Well worth the walk especially since the excellent Kastellet is right next to it. The mermaid is right by the shoreline, so easy to see and photograph. Fun, free, recommended.

Some say the statue is a disappointment due to being so small. I didn't fund it a disappointment at all and think it's a must-see in Copenhagen. Interesting history of the statue and nostalgic for anyone who grew up with Hans Christian Andersen’s original story.

Beautiful, elegiac, and poignant. Take a moment and soak in the surroundings - you won’t be disappointed. Statue is a mixture of sadness, freedom, and a sense of being trapped in motion. Brilliant.

Loved the view of people crawling around the little statue to take pictures. The mainly empty parking revealed that it was extremely quiet. I cannot imagine visiting the statue in high season. It must be chaotic.
The statue itself is lovely, but since the city is full of - in my opinion - more impressive statues, I would always choose to avoid it in high season.
The surroundings on the other hand is making strolling around definetely worth it. We sat down by the waterfront and watched boats, swans and blossoming trees.

This is a wonderful statue and very popular. There are areas to walk or cycle and the tour buses stop here.

A tourist attraction of Copenhagen. It's in a park and you can have a good view of the sea. There's a field of windmills on the opposite side. You can get a hot drink (e.g. coffee, tea, chocolate) from the coffee car that park next to the status.

Copenhagen landmark with an interesting history. We went early to avoid the worst of the crowds and combined the visit with a lovely walk around the area. There is a large park, an old fort and a long seafront to explore.
Amalienborg Palace is a royal palace located in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It was originally built in 1754 as a residence for the Danish King Frederick V and has since been used by the Danish royal family, including as their primary residence from 1814 to 1972. The palace has been the venue for many important events in Danish history, including coronations of kings and queens, state funerals, and foreign visits by heads of state.
Residence od the Danish Royal Family. Worth to visit, especially the queen's jewellery gallery. Personally I am imoressed how Queen Margrett and rest of the Royal Family are opened to the ordinary people - much more than British Royal Family. Sunday guard change is also worth to See.

Really nice area and a stunning castle. You have to see the changing of the guards. It’s at 12 every day and get packed but u can get a good view. Flags mean the family is home which we learned that today. Explore the area. You will enjoy it.

The Amalienborg Palace is currently under construction, but you can still visit. If you have the Copenhagen City pass on your phone, your entry is FREE. Just remember to reserve your spot to visit on their website.
This palace reminded me of the other European Palaces, like they wanted the same kind of vibe. It's similar but not the same on a much smaller scale. They also have guards. I think the Danish Queen actually lives on this property. There was a large photograph of her, and I recall seeing her highness on Netflix.

A nice tourist attraction in the heart of Copenhagen is the changing of the guards at the royal castle. But be aware that if the king isn’t at the castle (no Danish flag is flying on the castle roof) it will be the “smaller” version of changing of the guards. This means no orchestra accompanying the change. Nonetheless a nice experience. And a beautiful castle of course.

I ended up staying in Copenhagen for a night before travelling onwards. Decided to walk to Amalienborg and its always a pleasure visiting. Such an impressive setting and something calming about the way the guards 💂♂️ walk around like clockwork. Great setting to with the water next door and the famous Nyhavn only a short walk away

If you happen to visit at noon, you can experience the changing of the guards. They March everyday from their barracks near Rosenborg Castle through the streets of Copenhagen and end up at this location. While only a small portion of the palace is open to the public, it features a well organized exhibition that offers a fair overview of royal life in the recent past and palace interiors. The first floor has mostly reproduced studies of the various monarchs while the upper floor is meant to demonstrate the contemporary interiors of the palace...

Great architecture, interesting displays. Neat to see where formal events were held, and living quarters of previous royals. Saw the changing of the guards at noon too! This was a nice and relaxed visit!

Didn’t actually have time to go inside as there is just so much to see and do in Copenhagen. I did however manage to catch an afternoon Changing of the Guard, which was impressive. Note main Change of the Guard is at Midday so plan accordingly.

The Official Residence of the Danish King is definitely worth a visit. The changing of the Guards was enjoyable to watch. The exhibit on King Frederik X was very well done and even made me a bit emotional (even though I have no link to Danish culture). By complete chance I happened to see the Dowager Queen being driven into the Palace.
Christopher Lucki — Google review
Amalienborg was a fun place to visit. We enjoyed reading about the more recent royals and going through the rooms. I gave this a 4 just because I feel the other palaces in Denmark have much more history and more rooms to go through as well as beautiful grounds. If you do have time it's definitely worth a visit and if you plan it correctly you can also see the changing of the guards at noon. You will want to purchase your tickets before hand as only a certain amount if visitors are allowed in at a time. It's currently only open on Saturdays and Sundays.
Amber Webb — Google review
It was a interesting palace. You just walked in to a kind of court and around you there are different buildings. Apparently at every building around lives a part of the royal family and there are underground tunnels so they can visit eachother.
We were there when there were guards walking around so that was nice to see.
It’s something nice to have visited if you are in the area.

There’s palaces that belong to different kings in Denmark history here. And in the middle there’s a Frederik V statue. Definitely a visit point when you are in Copenhagen. But to be honest I don’t find it really spectacular. There are always tourist groups around but the place is quite big so you don’t really feel overwhelmed by the crowd

One of the best palaces along with a church in Denmark. The royal palace is maintained in good shape and restoration work is under process.
Nikhil Khot — Google review
If you like finding out the history of the modern Danish monarchy, you will find it interesting. Otherwise, it is a collection of rooms "held" in time. The outside of these buildings is quite impressive. There were a number of interesting tidbits of history for a non-Dane, and of course, some lovely jewelry and furnishings.
Linda McLoon — Google review
Built in the 1750’s Amalienborg’s four palaces, surrounding a formal square and a statue of Frederick V, are typical of the period. Rococo interiors with furnishings from the early 1900’s displayed in the museum. Changing of the guard is at 12 noon daily. There is currently an exhibition describing Denmark’s king and his family. There is a shop but no cafe.
A I — Google review
The symmetry of the palaces, the changing of the guard, and the historical significance make it a captivating place to visit. It's a must-see for those interested in Danish monarchy and architectural splendor. With that being said, it kinda looks unimpressive with all the picturesque places around.
Jakub Brzeski — Google review
What a beautiful place to visit. The change of guard and the official band put an excellent performance for the audience. Quality, pride, tradition, and military values all meet at noon at the main palace square. It's worth the visit. This is my 4th time, and I can't wait to go see it again.
Carla Klein — Google review
Not the grandest palace but very proportionate and balanced. Sheer good taste. Even the ceremonial change of the guard looks more human than in similar venues. Most if not all the soldiers were female on the time of my visit.
Jorge Bernardo — Google review
The exhibit for the king was excellent. And staying to watch the changing of the guards definitely made the experience worthwhile, but it’s not necessarily part of the admissions ticket for the museum.

Nice place to make a quick stop. Be careful not to cross the chain around the main statue because the guards will get angry.

Copenhagen’s Nyhavn is a beautiful harbor lined with restaurants and bars. It was originally a working-class area filled mostly with sailors and fishermen, but Baroque Architecture still pops up in many of the buildings. The harbor is one of the most popular areas in the city and its a great place to start exploring Copenhagen!
This was a beautiful place with loads of tourists as well as loads of Christmas vibes were coming from that... As there was a Christmas market as well as there was harbour to have a boat ride... With so colourful buildings.... It was a great spot to enjoy with friends and family. There were so many restaurants available over there and lots of cafes to have some snacks

Beautiful area, which is the postcard place of Copenhagen. Definitely a must visit if you are in Copenhagen. There are a lot many street food items, lots of restaurants. You can walk on the road with your dear ones and the vibe is extremely nice. You might have to go there during the evening to enjoy the vibe the most.

A must for Copenhagen! The place has an unique charm due to the colorful old houses. Some of them are about 400 years old and in several once H. C. Andersen has resided! Various restaurants are absolutely great, however, proces are above the average for the city. One should visit the place at sunset.

Cool place with lots of colourful buildings - but as with all popular places there are a lot of tourists. You can see the buildings and then just go somewhere else to eat where it’s quieter if you’re not wanting to see hoards of tourists.

A picturesque spot with brightly coloured buildings along a waterfront.
This is a beautiful spot, with the bright buildings and boats along the wharves making it feel very bucolic. However, while it is very lovely to see, many of the places along here are quite expensive, even by Copenhagen standards.

Freetown Christiania, also known as Christiania, is a community and commune located in Christianshavn, Copenhagen. It was established by squatters in 1971 and is now home to around 850 to 1,000 residents covering an area of 7.7 hectares. The community offers an alternative lifestyle with communal living and collective business ventures.
The Church of Our Saviour is a stunning 17th-century Baroque place of worship in Copenhagen. It offers an exhilarating excursion as visitors can climb the narrow winding stairs to reach the top of the church tower, providing breathtaking views across the city. The church is a notable landmark on tours of Copenhagen, along with other attractions like the old Stock Exchange and the Little Mermaid.
Breathtaking view of the city from the top. It requires climbing which can be a bit challenging since there are 400 steps but it’s definitely worth it. You can climb the stairs all the way to the top. It can be very windy up there but the view is incredible. Best view of the city!
T?mea Moln?rov? — Google review
A must visit while in Copenhagen. The best 360 degree views of the entire city from the outdoor staircase. If you're afraid of heights the outside top section of the staircase may be a challenge but you can always stop at the viewing deck for some good views without climbing all the way to the top. The inside stair climb gets decently narrow at the top but is such a cool experience seeing the history and architecture up close. I was inside the tower when the bells went off and it was such a cool experience! The entry fee is super cheap and they accept major credit cards. Highly recommend you add it to your must-do list on your visit!

The Church of Our Saviour in Copenhagen is an architectural masterpiece that offers a truly unique and exhilarating experience for visitors. Its iconic steeple climb is an opportunity to conquer fears and witness breathtaking views of the city.
The church itself is a stunning example of Danish Baroque architecture, with its intricate details and beautiful interior. However, it's the steeple climb that sets this place apart. If you can muster up the courage to ascend its winding, narrow staircase, you're in for a treat.
As you climb higher, the anticipation builds, and when you finally reach the outdoor spiral staircase, the adrenaline rush is undeniable. The panoramic views of Copenhagen from the top are nothing short of awe-inspiring. The city sprawls out beneath you, revealing its charm and beauty in every direction.
While the ascent can be challenging, the feeling of accomplishment upon reaching the top is unmatched. It's a journey that not only offers breathtaking vistas but also a sense of personal triumph over fear. The Church of Our Saviour's steeple climb is a must for those seeking a memorable adventure and a new perspective on Copenhagen.
Andrew luciano — Google review
What can I say about something that everyone is highly speaking? I found the church closed, although I had an appointment to climb into the tower. Inside, the stairs are easy to climb, at the beginning, then they become steeper and steeper, reaching to vertical in last part. Then, you reach a platform from where you have a wonderful see sight of the city. The outer stairs are becoming narrower as you climb, in order to reach nowhere as they never have a real end ( and you hit your head into something hard). If it’s crowded, then there is an issue as there is not enough space. As a summary, you go up in order to have from where to come down. The main piece is the platform as it’s the place where you fill your heart with beauty. Let’s say it was worth it.

Really nice view! Maybe the best in town. Buy your tickets in advance, we tried to go on Thursday and were sold out even online. So, we get the tickets next day but when we bought it (maybe 5:00 pm) it just left tickets to 7:00 & 7:30 (the last schedules).
Monse Garza — Google review
The external spiral winding is really nice to climb up. It costs around 60dkk per person for entry. The church bell looks really old but built really strong. The inner wooden staircase looks really old but nostalgic. The view from up top the church is magical. It's more beautiful if you can time it at the end of hour so that you can hear all the church bells ringing and echoing.
fayyaz pocker — Google review
This Church has a lot of history in Denmark is a place you should definitely see when visiting Copenhagen. If you are afraid of heights I still recommend taking a look at the chapel as it is very ornate. For the adventurous type climbing the tower is a must! The price for adults is only 65 DKK and students get a discount as well. The views are breathtaking. The stairs do get narrow so I would recommend being in some physical shape and not being afraid of heights. Seriously one of my favorite places to visit.
Matthew Heslop — Google review
Worth a visit! Great views from the top. Very windy so wrap up warm! The cost of the entry ticket 🎟️ is reasonable too.
There is a short video explaining the story of the church; this runs in Danish and English- stick around to watch it in the language you understand-it’s very nice.

I was supposed to climb the tower, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the bad weather conditions.
I had booked the ticket in advance online, and was really impressed by how quickly they refunded the money back to my account.
I only received the cancellation email once I’d arrived at the church, so thought I might as well have a look inside whilst I was there.
The interior of the church is actually really beautiful, and definitely worth visiting.

Baroque Copenhagen church built in 1695 with a 70 metre spire constructed more than 50 years later. Climbing the spire is a great experience with fantastic views over the city. It is 400 steps to the top with the final 150 steps on the outside. If you plan a visit make sure to buy timed tickets for entry to the spire in advance.
Our Savior's Church tower contains six large bells and a fantastic carillon. With as many as 48 bells, the carillon plays its delicate melodies over the neighbourhood daily

Amazing view from the top. A lot of stairs to climb, but I would not call it a struggle. Anyway, would not recommend for elderly or really small children. Stairs are wooden, dark, so kind of spooky, but definitly worth of the view.
Visnja Markovic — Google review
My highlight of the trip! The ticket was worth the price. The view is amazing from the tower. Can be a bit scary or uncomfortable going up though. I would suggest getting a time slot in advance. There were many people and we had to wait for 40 minutes before getting in.

Such a cool spire and lookout point—best view of the city! I can’t find any proof that they’re related, but it makes me think of King Trident’s castle from Disney’s The Little Mermaid (and Walt did love to steal designs from Europe). This spire had an amazing 360° views and some interesting artifacts inside, but definitely not a good trip for those with a fear of heights.
Via D'Agostino — Google review
Our Saviour's is one of Denmark's most famous churches. The spire is an icon in the city, I signed up the climbing tour and waited for about 40 minutes. It was really worth the effort climbing the 400 steps to the top. The views of the entire Copenhagen was magnificent, and you appreciated the wooden stairways have been there for centuries for the worshipers. A must-see for the city! Cheers!
Qihua M — Google review
We weren’t sure whether to climb it as we were exhausted from the previous days but we did it and we don’t regret it. Whether because of the adrenalin or the views, the 400 steps weren’t as many as it sounds and it was a 30-40 minutes experience all in all(including going down). It was great even if one’s not very confident with heights.
iliyana Stoycheva — Google review
Pros: Very fun. Went on a sunset tour during summer, stayed at top for about half an our. Incredible views of the city. Would recommend going towards the end of a trip so you can find all the places you have visited. If you book sunset tickets you will have water and snacks at the top.
Cons: It is very VERY high up. Would not recommend if you have a fear of heights. If you are scared of heights, a great alternative would be the round tower. There are a lot of very scary stairs and if you choose to go to the very top it gets really scary climbing the spiral staircase outside the tower.
Gregory Ipeirotis — Google review
Amazing view of the city from top, but needs you to climb about 15 floors through difficult stairs. Also by the time you reach the top, it feels quite high and windy (a bit scary as well, even though the stairs have a solid railing to prevent any disaster).
The view of the city from top is unmatched. Also the large bells and their synchronous music is amazing to imagine while climbing the tower.
We couldn't enter first time we visited due to a long wait, and next time we booked tickets in advance - would strongly recommend doing that.
Purav Gandhi — Google review
What an amazing church. It not only looks like a wine diamond and is eye-catching, but you can also climb from the bottom to the top. The wooden ladder is very thrilling, but when you get to the top, you can see the entire Copenhagen scenery. Really impressive ~
Momo — Google review
One of the highlights of our trip to Copenhagen. We had to book a ticket online because it was already sold out when we first arrived there. But the wait was worth it. The first 250 steps up were very easy, after that it got steeper and you really had to watch where you are going. The views at the top were amazing! There is a limit of people per times timeslot so it wasn't that crowded on top of the church. We really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
Notes: If you have kids or elderly people with you, you should reconsider going up the tower due to the difficult climb up. And obviously it isn't made for people afraid of heights.
Stefan Schneider — Google review
Book a time slot well in advance to avoid disappointment. Amazing bells on view on the way up the wooden stairs. Fantastic panoramic views from the top viewing platform and a further brass spiral staircase takes you even higher! Don't miss the amazing organ in the church below. Nearby Christiana worth a stroll.

We only got to the tower since the church was close to the time we visited. Great monument, have to climb some steep stairs to get to the top where the view over Copenhagen is outstanding. Totally worth the leg exercise!

Gorgeous and unique looking church. The main church itself was closed due to a funeral service but the tower above was open as normal. If you’re scared of heights, give it a miss! We naively went up on a very windy day and as someone that’s not even remotely scared of heights, it was scary!!
I can imagine it being scary on a calm day too, low railings, steps leaning on an angle, etc… the steps just get smaller and smaller until they just disappear and you can’t walk any further.
Worth it for the fantastic views from the top though!

The 360 degrees views from the viewing platform are not to be missed …and even more spectacular if you dare to continue upwards along the outside spiral metal staircase. Not for the faint hearted though … As it’s the same steep 400 steps up that you climb inside the tower and the same steps down … but so worth the exercise you give your lungs and legs.
The National Aquarium Denmark is a large, sleek aquarium with fresh and sea water wildlife. It is home to the brown-banded bamboo shark, the Atlantic goliath grouper and the redbelly yellowtail fusilier, among others. The aquarium also features educational displays about the ocean.
We go there usually quite often, started since our baby was just 3 months old. He loved all the fishes esp in the bigger aquarium 😍
It’s for everybody! The outside atmosphere is amazing in summers.
At this time, there are no seagulls and we got a bit sad.
The best way is to buy a yearly pass if you’re gonna visit at least twice in a year…

If you are a tourist, there are so many other beautiful things to see in Copenhagen. However, if you have kids and are looking for something easy to do on your last day near the airport, this is a nice activity. Good sized place with enough to keep your little one entertained for a few hours. A few hands on activities. Nice outdoor play area/relaxing area as well. Food options a little lacking so it is recommended to time your visit in between meals. Bought tickets online, scanned them from phone on entry, easy process.

Wow, what an experience. Well priced for the visit (remember this one not part of the Copenhagen Card discounts). All the exhibits were well thought of and the tanks very well looked after. The tropical walkthrough was amazing, the best I've ever been to by a long shot.
Even the cafe was great, being able to sit out next to the ocean and even got to see a few planes land!

A very interesting aquarium for both adults and children. From outside it is looking a bit abandoned, outdoors needs a bit of care.
Many different fishes in different aquariums, some aquariums are open and you can touch the fishes, your stars. There is one large room with a "jungle", where fish, birds, sloths, turtles and frogs live from warm countries.
Visiting the aquarium didn't take as long as I expected. However, when visiting in the warm season, I think there would be more activities.
There is a cafe, a souvenir shop.
The price is a bit too high in my opinion, 28-29 eur for an adult.

We loved it here, especially our kid. It is very kid-friendly and has many nice sea animals that make you wow. When we were there, there was the dinosaur exhibition so it was really worth a visit. The only star being deducted is the entry price but sure, like in many other places, it makes more sense for the locals with an annual ticket rather than single entry for the tourist.

If you go here with kids it's great! They have a relatively large amount of interactive "attractions" and you are allowed to pet rays, crabs and the like.
However, I wouldn't expect to be here for much more that an hour or an hour and a half, for which the ticket prices are quite expensive, hence the lower rating.

The place is very big, with 3 main sections and even a tropical forest part with birds, reptiles and even bats. There are also some areas to touch the animals directly and they have several events throughout the day
Personally I would have loved to see more jellyfish as they're my favorite animals, but the selection here is great regardless. Special mention to the otters; they're just adorable.
10/10 for both casuals and aquarium lovers

An ideal place for children and adults. The building itself looks modernist and different from the outside. Inside you can find a lot of interesting and colorful fish and more. Some fish can be touched. Particular attention can be paid to the aquarium where tropical fish are found. In this part there is a room in which there is a rainforest and animals can be said to be free. There are turtles, parrots, a sloth and fish. The biggest attraction, however, is the huge aquarium located in the ocean part. The aquarium contains huge sharks, turtles, rays and much more. Passing through, you can enter the tunnel which is all glass and you can see fish everywhere. An unforgettable experience.

It presents a lot of amazing different forms of sea life. All of the displays have detailed information on the different species that they contain in Danish, Swedish and English. The Aquarium also has some presentations/events where they showcase their animals and present their unique or even bizarre abilities. All in all I can highly recommend and I am sure that I will return in the future.

This is a beautiful aquarium set right on the water. It is about a 10 min walk from the metro. We always try to go to aquariums when traveling and this is one of the better ones. It's laid out beautifully, and written in both English and Danish. They have a lot of interactive stations to actually pet sea creatures which is cool for the more adventurous kids or adults. They have a jungle section to walk through and it was done really well. It's overgrown and lush. We had fun trying to spot all of the insects, frogs, butterflies, and birds. It's very immersive . They have a place to order food and can be pricey for a family, but you have the opportunity to eat outside right on the water.

We had a blast looking at the fishes and loved the bird section with the butterflies and the frogs. That was a real surprise! But we were a bit let down by the underwater tunnel that was supposed to be the main attraction. We expected it to be deeper, but we could almost 'touch' the surface of the water above it, because it's pretty shallow. The otters were also a nice attraction and the information given at all the locations is very informative 🤭

Very exciting and educational for both children and adults. Loads of fun, they have aquatic "petting zoo" areas where you can gently touch fish, starfish and so om...

Lot's of fun info :)
There's an app where you can preview some of the things in the aquarium. ALSO app has a schedule of the "events".
I got to see squid dissections, various feedings, very cool stuff :)
Something happening nigh all the time when I was there.

Nice museum for family visit. Bilingual talk is friendly to audience. Many varieties of marine species in clean fish tank with beautiful lighting.

Unfortunately, I could only visit here in the evening - at sunset. The aquarium amazes with its modern minimalist design, made of glass and metal, which blend into elegant shapes, creating a sense of freedom and spaciousness. Its exterior impresses visitors with its harmony with the surrounding nature and gives the impression that they are underwater, enveloped in the magic of the ocean.

A great opportunity to learn something new, meet lots of aquatic animals. A short walk from the airport. Newly maintained. Every hour a lecture or feeding of specific tanks. Also worth mentioning their bistro, excellent food, beautiful sea view. Designed even for the smallest children:-) feeding the fish of the largest aquarium was an experience. You can also touch some animals under the water

Visited the Danish Aquarium multiple times – once before kids and now with my little one. It's consistently awesome! 🐠 A perfect escape from rainy, windy weather. ☔ Highly recommend for a family-friendly experience. 👨👩👧👦

Nice experience especially because you can touch some crabs, cat sea, you can walk through the rain forest with birds. We were personally afraid of these, but we appreciated the possibility.
There is also a nice place where you are surrounded by aquarium glass and you can see the fishes around yourself without getting wet.
The place is not very well organized as the numbers from the main "rooms" (1, 2, 3) are kind of mixed up and not counting in a certain order or at least we didn't find it.

There are many varieties of animals. Location is accessible with public transportation. Close to the Copenhagen airport as well. There are luggage storage available in the aquarium, so it would be much easier to visit the airport before getting to the airport. There are play areas for animals and feeding sessions could be watched from time to time. Would highly recommend this place. We booked through the website and it was very convenient.

I quite like it there. Although I expected a much bigger building, there is enough room to ger you satisfied. There is a restaurant called "Plankton", from which I expected more and the food options aren't that great. There are so many fish and, even sharks. Remember that this is only my opinion and that you maybe like it more or not. For now, its kinda great!
Aleksa Jeftić — Google review
The architecture of this building is one of the best. Located near the airport it makes sense to come here on the last day. Overall a really nice aquarium, you could even interact with the fishes and sting ray. This being said, the price is abit overpriced in my opinion, but is definitely worth it for those who love animals and marine life!

100% recommend stopping by the aquarium! Lots of touch tanks with sea urchins, crabs, flatfish, rays, nibble fish. Feeding times are quite often too and it was great to sit and watch. There is alot to see in the aquarium and as DINK it was nice to go later at night as Mondays it's open until 9pm. It was very quiet and we had a great time.

This is a brilliant aquarium and so much more. They have touch tables where you can hold starfish, crabs, stroke fish etc. they have sea otters outside. They have huge tanks of rays you can stroke. They have a tropical rainforest area with dart frogs, exotic birds, lizards and a sloth. This is a great place to visit and I would highly recommend it.

Nice place to visit, especially if it's a rainy day outside. You can easily spend 5 hours here just staring at the fish. Make sure to buy your tickets online first as there may be an hour plus wait to get in at the door.

The exposition are very nice. I recommend getting the mobile app in order to see if there are any kind of special events happened while you are visiting (by the time we were visiting they were feeding the stingrays).
We went after 7PM when it was dark outside which made the rain forest a bit hard to see and also we had no view on the terrace outside.

Although this is a smaller aquarium than I am used to, it certainly didn't disappoint.
There are so many varieties of animals here. The rainforest section is awesome with free fly birds and a sloth! 🦥
The touch pool is pretty fun too.
It looks like everyone had fun and all the locals I spoke to enjoy it too.

Den Blå Planet in Copenhagen is Northern Europe's largest aquarium, opened in 2013. Its striking architecture resembles a whirlpool. The exhibits showcase diverse marine life, including sharks and rays. The Ocean Tank offers a panoramic view of underwater wonders. With a focus on education and conservation, it provides interactive displays and programs.
A must-visit for those fascinated by marine ecosystems.

Some really nice aquariums to explore. It has a cafeteria so you can stay a while (it is a self-service cafeteria, not a fancy restaurant). Good number of benches for sitting down to enjoy the 🐠🐟. Great for that last day in Copenhagen considering how close is is to the airport.
Animal park with big cats, camels & monkeys, plus a sprawling playground, motorized train & cafe.
Nice place to interact with lots of different animals. The animals are well taken cared off and the space given them is nice.
My son enjoyed it there..

What a delightful zoo! It's perfect for families - big playground in the middle and it's possible to see all of the animals in one visit without feeling like you're hiking. There's a super collection of animals and the zoo grounds and enclosures are beautifully designed and well-kept. It's a bit pricey but not over-priced. The staff were always friendly. We've visited twice now and will happily return. Can only recommend it.

It is a nice place to come for walking and being in nature and with animals. To some animals, it is permitted to come inside of their places so you can feed and touch them and in this way to communicate. It has also a nice kids park and activities for kids.
Anna Cevrim — Google review
From the beginning;
Easy to find and nice parking.
Quite reasonable pricing
Easy to get around and with most of the animals you would expect - But missed Elephants, Zebra and Tiger - maybe also some snakes / reptiles.
The goats where the highlight for our daughter (2 year) -- since you get to go inside the fence and touch / feed the animals.
But talking about feeding - some ignorant visitors feed all animals with the animal food sold at the entrance - and they even feed the paper bags to the animals... Thank good it's not plastic bags !! - But not nice.
Small restaurant with OK menu of fast food - unfortunately there was nothing fast about the serving - 30 minutes for a basic meal is way too long !!
The absolute worst part of the entire park was the toilet facilities at the restaurant - Very small and very very dirty, to the point of too disgusting and hold your breath until the next toilet at the entrance.

Overall a neat spot to bring your kids especially on mediocre day at the coast. It's about a 40 min drive from Lübeck and even closer from other popular areas in the Lübecker Bucht. Food options are very limited, but enough to get a quick bit or the obligatory ice cream. Better restaurants relatively close, though. Prices are fair.
Travemünde is a tranquil coastal destination and a key port for Scandinavian ferries. Along the Trave River and Strandpromenade, patrons can savor seafood fare at various eateries while enjoying scenic views of Travemünde Beach and the Bay of Lübeck. Fish sandwiches are available for purchase at the Fishermen's harbor stalls.

Lübecker Altstadt
Sights & Landmarks
Neighborhoods
Lively Innenstadt is Lübeck’s medieval old town, known for its courtyards, alleys, and squares lined with ornate gabled buildings. Among its many landmarks are the 1400s Holstentor gate, home to a city history museum, Gothic churches like the towering Marienkirche, and the 1286 Heiligen-Geist-Hospital. The Museum Harbor has historic sailing ships, while small specialist shops and German restaurants dot the area.
Lubeck's most important church, Marienkirche, is a beautiful Gothic structure that was rebuilt after almost being destroyed by the RAF during WWII. The intricate details of the brick-vaulted roof are what fascinate people, rather than the sheer size and height of the building.
Amazing interior. So high are the towers that they can almost touch the sky.
Munteanu Catalin — Google review
Amazing monumental church with a lot of other interesting things to see inside. I think it worth the price of admission (4 euro). It's a must see if you visit Lübeck and you are interested in history and architecture.
Alex Spa — Google review
A monumental church with a few curiosities including a spectacular wall clock and a bell that’s fallen from the tower, crashed into the floor and left there for everyone to see. The height of the ceiling absolutely defies belief and gravity. Stunning setting during Christmas as the markets surround the church

Magnificently proportioned architecture with well-crafted brickwork.

Marienkirche is the third-largest church in Germany, and one of the five large Gothic brick churches in Lübeck. The interior is stunning and learning the history of it was so interesting. During an air raid, a lot of the church was destroyed but it's been beautifully restored. During my time at the church, they were restoring another facade as well. There is a reconstruction of the Danse Macabre, and also some beautiful reliefs of the Last Supper and some statues of Mary, Gabriel, etc. I'm a huge fan of Bach and I was delighted to read that Bach may have come to Marienkirche to play the now-destroyed Totentanzorgel (Danse Macabre organ). I believe they also have services in Marienkirche, although I went on a weekday so I'm not 100% positive. Based on signage, I would say so. I recommend stopping in to learn about the history of Lübeck and the church, or even to sit in on a service! I'm going to come back perhaps to see the other four churches.

Gothic evangelical church. Outside quite impressive but inside quite poor compared to Italian churches. Anyway a must see in in Lübek. Don't forget to give a look to the brass devil just outside the church and read his history.

St. Mary's Church which was built between 1250 and 1350 is the third largest church in Germany. It and has always been a symbol of the power and prosperity of the old Hanseatic city. Entrance is ticketed, 4 eur per person but it is without doubt worth to enter and see its magnitude from every corner inside.
Paweł — Google review
Out of 7 spires that dominate Lubeck skyline, two of them belong to St. Mary's Church.
The Church was built in a time frame of 100 years between 1260 and 1350, replacing the 1200's smaller Chapel.
Lubeck's St. Mary's is considered a cornerstone of German Gothic brick Churches.
It was built according to French Gothic Churches with outer supporting arches but with use of bricks instead of stone. Likewise, the interiors feature the world's tallest brick vaults.
St. Mary's suffered a total destruction in WWII, but was rebuilt shortly after the war.
Two huge bells which fell from the Tower during the bombing are kept in one of the Chapels inside.
TIP: You wont notice the St. Mary's sheer size from the ground as it's packed in downtown area. To appreciate it's size observe it from St. Peters tower which has the best city views.
The only reason I deduct one star is paying entrance fee of 4 Euros

The organ is pretty, but the astronomical clock is truly amazing.
Stained glasses are worth checking out, and the ‘Totentanz’
István Nagy — Google review
This is a huge church but it's crammed into the streets nearby so it's difficult to get an idea of the scale. Inside the church is vast - apparently the largest brick built vault in the world. The interior is whitewashed and then decorated but in a very understated way. There are a few small chapels to the side, an interesting altarpiece (I think), a recreated astronomical clock and World War 1 memorial. Definitely worth a visit to see the wealth of the Hanseatic merchants.
The Holstentor Museum in Lubeck is a historic gate which stands proud as a relic of the city's mercantile days. It is a popular tourist destination and houses displays about Lubecks medieval past. The gate is well-maintained and has an impressive effect, making it one of the highlights of any visit to Lubeck.
Beautiful town with beautiful people. A real pleasure to walk this streets of history, to eat at the riverside, to visit the museums and churches and take the lift up in the highest tower.

Small but truly historical. This structure was completed in the 1400 and it's just amazing to be able to go inside and get a feel of how life was back then. It felt like being inside an old castle.
Somethings you only see in the movies. It was a great learning experience going here.

Imposing structure that you cannot miss walking into Lubeck's central square from the train station. Definitely built to denote strength and power and while it's sagging into its centre, looks like it'll still.be around 500 years from now. It's a paid museum now but just walking through the square and through its gate is an awesome experience.

Holstentor is the western gate of the fortified medieval city which was the capital of entire Hansaetic League of Baltic cities for centuries.
Dating back to 1464, it is considered one of the most beautiful medieval gates in all Germany, and for that reason was even on the back side of the old 50 DM banknote.
The gate is really stunning - fairy tale like and little bit leaned.
Inside is a small historic museum with models and history explanation and great gift shop. The outer face has gun openings for city protection, while the inner face is richly decorated. Perfect photo op both, day and night
Dejan Braki — Google review
I didn't go in to the building - not sure it was even open to be honest as both times I walked through there were no obvious signs. The building is one of the old city gates and the emblem of modern Lubeck. It is a very impressive, brick built fifteenth century fortification but now stands in isolation, the city walls having been removed in the nineteenth century.
There is an interesting contrast between the inside and outside walls of the building. The walls facing the city have lots of windows and are very ornate, the exterior walls have far fewer openings other than those for guns. There are also doubts over the accuracy of the early twentieth century restorations.

Another great historical site, the old gatehouse to Lübeck. A museum on site to visit here as well.
A really nice little “mall town”.
It feels very much like a nice little village, if every building was a designer clothes store. It really uses the Disneyland trick to kinda close off the outside world to make you relaxed and feel encapsulated in the shopping feel, of course on a much smaller scale but still.
There’s even a very impressive playground, to entertain the children while the parents shop.
Also nice food options there where nice pizzas in the back of the compound, and a Five Guys burger joint whose burgers I can really recommend.

Great selection of brands. Selection in stores good also. Best of all was the way they set up the outlet. I expected storage buildings but it’s more like a small town where you walk outdoors between shops. There’s an opportunity to buy hamburgers, pizza and crepes but we found no real good. Prices are decent.

Such a nice village
Get lost around the shops
Get hungry and get some loaded fries or waffles
I do agree with some others that the parking is over priced and should actually be free if you have shopped in the village, they should validate your ticket, if you haven't bought anything then it's fine pay the fine 😊
Doany brands to choose from
Here is definitely something for everyone
Nice enough as well that they have toilets located everywhere and unlikely in Germany they are free.

We came here early around 1030am and all the outdoor parking is already full so we had to park in the carpark building on the opposite side of the Outlet. Do expect traffic jam as this is super auto centric area. There is women exclusive parking spot on the groundfloor of the carpark but somehow a lot of men park there. Free umbrella provided on a bad weather. By the time we exit at 1400 the carpark building was so full, that there is a queue to enter.
Unfortunately, i didnt snap any pic here as it was constantly raining.
On the price tag, there will be 2 prices attached. One is standard retail price and another is outlet price which is normally 10% cheaper. If you are lucky, there are also a third price tag,sales price,where the price would be up to 70% off. No discount on food, standard price for 5guys and Starbucks. Is it worth travelling here? Yes, if you want or need to shop a lot of new clothe, shoe or kitchenware. Do come in a group so it makes the travelling worthwhile.
