Adventure Tips
Dress in layers
Copenhagen’s weather shifts quickly; bring a lightweight waterproof jacket over a warm layer to stay comfortable while walking between stops.
Comfortable shoes
Cobblestones and short walks between attractions mean flat, supportive shoes will keep you moving without fatigue.
Timing for Changing of the Guard
The Changing of the Guard at Amalienborg usually occurs around midday—confirm with your guide if that stop is important to you.
Bring a small umbrella or cover
Even in summer a sudden shower can appear; a compact umbrella keeps your camera and notes dry during outdoor views.
