9 Vegan-Friendly Activities in Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a city that offers something for everyone. With its stunning scenery, delicious food and rich history, this vibrant city has plenty to explore. So whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or an action-packed adventure, Copenhagen is the perfect destination for you.

Take a Sunrise Walk Down Nyhavn Harbour

Nyhavn is the best place to take a walk in Copenhagen. The cobbled streets are lined with beautiful colored buildings and boats, making it a great place to explore. It's also very easy to get around on foot – an extensive public transportation network right outside the harbour makes getting around by bus or metro very straightforward. 

There's no better way to start your day than doing something active! I recommend having a walk around this area first thing in the morning before it gets too busy; this gives a fantastic opportunity for photography without the crowds!

Visit The Royal Palace Amalienborg Castle

One of the most important things to see in Copenhagen is The Royal Palace Amalienborg Castle. Not only is this one of the best places to visit with your family, but it's also a great place for taking pictures with plenty of beautiful architecture.

Climb up the Church of our Saviour Tower

The Church of our Saviour is a beautiful building in Copenhagen's heart that was built in the 15th century. If you love architecture, this place is overflowing with it, and there is literally no better way to experience the city's history than by climbing its tower. You can get great views from up here and see the whole city if you are willing to put in some effort.

Walk the Streets of Freetown Christiania

Christiania was founded in 1971 as a hippie commune and has grown into a bustling neighbourhood with some of the best vegan food options in town. 

This is the place to go for the hippies and street art lovers who are on the hunt for something a little different. The buildings have been painted by some of the most famous artists and have been featured in many Danish and international films. The streets are lined with funky shops, low-key cafes, food vendors and restaurants that serve up vegan dishes from pizza to curries.

Relax in Nature at the Copenhagen Botanical Garden

The Copenhagen Botanical Garden has been in existence since 1859 and is a great place to take a break from the city. Not only is it a beautiful garden, but it also features a stunning butterfly house and tropical greenhouses. 

Visit the Copenhagen Planetarium

A hidden gem in Copenhagen is the Copenhagen Planetarium. The planetarium has been around for over 60 years and offers a unique experience for visitors. Once inside, you'll discover the solar system, constellations, and all sorts of information about how humans impact the universe. 

Admire the Famous Little Mermaid Statue

The Little Mermaid statue is iconic, and it's hard to think of Copenhagen without it. Not only is the sculpture a popular tourist attraction, but it's also a great place to start your exploration of the city. 

If you enjoy photography and want to spend some time photographing this iconic monument without the tourists, I advise visiting first thing in the morning as the site gets busy!

Have Fun in the Copenhagen Guinness World Records Museum

A museum doesn't have to be boring. Copenhagen is full of museums, but the Guinness World Records Museum is definitely worth checking out. One of the biggest collections in Europe, it will surely leave you amazed with all the records and facts they have on display. 

Discover More About History in the Copenhagen War Museum

Copenhagen's history has been wrought with conflict and strife. The war museum is a great way to explore a city's past and really get immersed in what the city was like historically. 

Of course, there are a number of other awesome activities you can do in Copenhagen as a vegan but I hope this list covers some of the best!
