Suzanne Kenzer - Freelance Travel JournalistReady to swap your Paris-London loop for a city that blends fairy-tale grandeur with everyday ease? We head to Copenhagen with travel journalist Suzanne Kenzer to unpack a long-weekend plan that hits royal palaces, storied museums, waterfront strolls, and a dining scene that’s as welcoming as it is ambitious. Think crown jewels at Rosenborg, the lifeguard change at Amalienborg, and a canal cruise past Nyhavn’s candy-colored facades—all within walking distance and perfect for first-timers.Food lovers get the inside track on smørrebrød done right, why reservations matter even for casual spots, and how Copenhagen’s 26 Michelin stars reflect a city obsessed with quality without the fuss. We wander Tivoli Gardens for vintage thrills, nighttime lights, and weekend fireworks, then step into day trips that elevate your itinerary: Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, Shakespeare’s Elsinore, and Roskilde’s duo of the Viking Ship Museum and the royal tomb-filled cathedral.We also tackle the practicals that make or break a short stay: the best shoulder-season windows, how layers beat forecasts, when to walk versus ride, and why the Copenhagen Card streamlines transit and admissions. Learn how to handle Danish kroner in a mostly cashless culture, what tipping really looks like, and which souvenirs travel well—Royal Copenhagen porcelain, Georg Jensen design, licorice, butter cookies, and Lego for the win. If you’ve been craving a European city that feels both grand and grounded, this guide gives you everything you need to plan with confidence.If this helped map your next trip, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more travelers find the show and fuels future guides.0:20     Welcome And Guest Intro1:47      First Impressions Of Copenhagen3:11      Royal Palaces And Crown Jewels6:48     Museums And Nyhavn By Water9:18      When To Go And What To Wear10:26    What Copenhagen Tastes Like12:13     Dining Culture And Reservations13:36    How To Get Around The City15:05    Tivoli Gardens And Lego Roots18:06    Why It Belongs On Your List18:46    Day Trips To Kronborg And Roskilde23:19    Hans Christian Andersen And The Mermaid24:26    Where To Stay And Neighborhoods27:20    Biking Culture, Clean Harbors, Parking30:45    Shoulder Seasons And Tivoli Tips32:06    Copenhagen Card And Money Basics34:11     What To Buy And Where To Shop36:23    Resources, Articles, And What’s Next35:40    Gratitude And Ways To ConnectFor more information:visitcopenhagen.com*Articles coming this fall on familytravelck.com & roundtripcolleenkelly.com**Disclaimer: King Christian visited Amsterdam.
