There’s so much for you to do here, from Statens Museum for Kunst to a visit to Tivoli Gardens, you won’t have to worry about getting bored!

Venice
Perhaps not the best city to visit if you have a fear of water, as the famous canal system means that Venice is best navigated by boat.
Be sure to have your visit coincide with the carnival and marvel at the incredible intricacy of the range of Venetian masks on display… you won’t get a more unique souvenir anywhere else!
Amsterdam
Incredibly, Amsterdam has managed to walk the line between vibrant city and quaint town.
