What to do in Copenhagen?
Copenhagen has many attractions and places of interest to visit. One of the city's main attractions and a symbol of the city is the Little Mermaid, who gazes at the sea with a nostalgic air, as if to say she misses her home. It was built by the sculptor Erinksen, after a patron was greatly impressed by the love story told by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen in the fairy tale The Little Mermaid in 1837, to embellish the city's harbour. Another place that draws attention is the Royal Palace of Amalienborg, a famous spot from where the royal family greets people in the street. Although frequented by the royal couple, the palace can be visited. In fact, you can visit some of the sumptuous rooms that are not usually used by the royal tenants. The place is easily accessible by car, in fact with the Parkimeter app you can conveniently park at Q-Park Adelgade (https://parkimeter.com/it/parcheggi-a-copenhagen/parcheggio-adelgade-park), which is just a 5-minute walk from the residence. Copenhagen is also about parks, the oldest and most worth visiting being the Tivoli Park where the city's history is intertwined with tradition. It is a famous city meeting point. Here you can smell the scent of flowers, hear the music of street performers, ride the Deamon roller coaster or take a relaxing ride in the small boats. If you want to delve into the history of the Danish kingdom, visit the National Museum in Copenhagen to quench your thirst for curiosity. Through vivid representations of historical events throughout the country's history, you can learn more about the roots of this place. But that's not all, because here you can also find temporary exhibitions on the history of exotic places like Greenland and Latin America.
