London to Copenhagen Round Trip | Comprehensive Guide for Solo Travelers in Fall 2025

Just finished a 3-day solo trip to Copenhagen by myself! I had a blast! Here's a practical guide – just copy it and you'll have a blast taking photos, eating, and exploring! ✈️ London ↔ Copenhagen Round Trip Transportation Guide ▫️Outbound: Choose Ryanair (London Stand Airport → Copenhagen Airport). Booking 4 weeks in advance is super cost-effective, starting from £28 one way. Around 8 am is ideal. ▫️Return: A 7 pm flight is more relaxed! Depart from the city center at 5 pm, and you can spend an hour browsing the airport duty-free shops. 🌞 Day 1️⃣ Fairytale Landmark Route ▫️Nyhall: Colorful canal houses + wooden boats. Bought some cinnamon rolls from Juno Bakery along the way, sat in the open-air seating area to soak up the sun, and experienced the slow pace of Scandinavia. Go early to avoid crowds and take more photos. ▫️Amalienborg Palace: Watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony promptly at 12:00 PM. The guards' bearskin hats look exactly like emojis—super cute!💂🏻‍♀️ ▫️Friedrich's Church: The largest domed church in Northern Europe. The pure white interior and the interplay of light and shadow create stunning photos. Free and no reservation required! ▫️City Hall Square: Check out the Hans Christian Andersen statue. Street performers play Nordic folk songs in the square. 🎨 Day 2️⃣Art Experiences ▫️New Carlsberg Museum: Student ticket 108 DKK. The tropical garden in the atrium and the rooftop terrace are must-sees. Don't miss the replica of Rodin's "The Thinker" in their collection. ▫️Tivoli Gardens: 89 DKK admission. The vintage carousel and Ferris wheel are incredibly romantic🎠 and perfect for taking photos. ▫️Torvehallerne Market: A must-visit for foodies! Tryed the Danish open-faced sandwich, the smoked salmon flavor was amazing! Also bought a roasted pork roll, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We ate until we were stuffed for 50 DKK per person. 🚲 Day 3 Lesser-known attractions ▫️ Organ Church: Free! The minimalist design and the interplay of light and shadow are stunning! ▫️ Church of the Saviour: Free admission, student ticket to the top is 53 DKK. The spiral tower is incredibly stylish, and climbing it offers panoramic views of the city. ▫️ Tivoli LEGO Flagship Store: A must-visit in LEGO's home turf! Entry: 89 DKK. Custom-engraved LEGO minifigures are available on-site (free name engraving). ▫️Return Trip: Bought two chicken skewers at 7-Eleven on the way back for only 39 DKK – super cheap! The teriyaki flavor was amazing. A lifesaver for budget-conscious travelers, ending a perfect Copenhagen trip! 💡 Liuzi's Exclusive Tips 1. Transportation: Buy a 24-hour City Pass Small (100 DKK). Unlimited metro and bus fares, half the price of a single ticket. Zones 1-4 are sufficient for visiting the Organ Church. 2. Money-saving tip: Use Too Good To Go to grab bread blind boxes. 50 DKK can buy 3 croissants + 2 loaves of bread. Credit card payments are accepted throughout, as street vendors don't accept cash. 3. Clothing: Copenhagen has large temperature differences between day and night. Bring a windproof jacket in spring and autumn, short sleeves and a light shirt in summer, and a thick down jacket and snow boots in winter. Brightly colored clothes look better in photos.
