Hans Christian Andersen Hus
A museum attraction where fairy tales, architecture and immersive experiences come together.
It’s a beautifully designed, immersive experience that invites you to step inside the creative mind of Denmark’s most famous writer. Here, storytelling isn’t something you just read – it’s something you feel.
Designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the museum blends architecture, nature and narrative into a cohesive journey guiding you through rooms filled with light, sound, and stunning visual installations.

Viking Ship Museum
"1000 years ago, the Vikings sailed along the shores of Europe, up rivers and across the open sea throughout the North Atlantic area.
Ships are the essence of the Viking Age. With them, the Scandinavian countries were founded.
The Viking Ship Museum is built around the five original Viking ships from Skuldelev. They are part of a global story about ships, people and things on voyages.
The museum tells the story of how the Vikings changed the World with their ships."

Roskilde Cathedral
The cathedral is one of the most important churches in Denmark, and the official royal burial church of the Danish monarchs. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 12th century, all but one monarch has been buried here for over 900 years, including Viking kings. This was Scandinavia's first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick and it encouraged the spread of this style throughout northern Europe.
Saint Lucia Kayak Parade
The Lucia parades are a Danish Christmas tradition held on December 13th to celebrate Saint Lucia. Participants, often dressed in white with candles, sing traditional songs while processing, symbolising light during the dark winter. This alternative Lucia parade has taken place annually since 2006, when only twelve kayaks participated, and has now grown to more than 500 sparkling, decorated kayaks with singing paddlers. The parade is led along the route by a canal tour boat, where the live choir Tritonus joins in on the communal singing.
Christmas Markets
Beautifully decorated pine trees, glittering lights, wooden cottages, pixie elves, reindeer and Santa himself. All that you'll find at the Christmas market at Højbro Square located right in the most buzzing part of Copenhagen's shopping mecca and Europe's longest pedestrian street Strøget, close to the hotel.
This is one of five markets that we will have the opportunity to explore!
