    Booking tickets on Trip.com was very convenient. Once we arrived at the Amarin Palace, we used a QR code to enter. The palace, which retains royal artifacts, is truly magnificent and well worth the price of admission.

    I visited the Little Mermaid statue in Denmark on a solo trip during winter. The cold breeze from the sea and the quiet atmosphere made the experience feel even more magical. The statue itself is smaller than I expected, but its delicate expression and connection to Andersen’s fairytale give it a unique charm. Since it was off-season, there weren’t many tourists, which allowed me to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It’s a simple yet iconic landmark worth seeing at least once.

    the Harbor in Copenhagen is the highlight of the city. The classic buildings and boats are worth the sight. Food is a little bit expensive in the area, but it’s worth catching a beer if you’re into that.

    The park is the best part of the castle. It’s stunning with lots of trees and flowers. To enter the castle, you need to buy a ticket stick to time. So it’s best to book online first. It takes about 1h to see inside of the castle.

    The Organ Church is reached by taking two buses from the city center. It got this nickname because a group of decorations inside the church look like an organ. The church is not big, but it has a unique facade, high ceilings and symmetrical design. It is also very spectacular. It is a must-see attraction when visiting Copenhagen.
