ROYAL SPLENDOUR AND A FAMOUS MERMAID
Nestled in eastern Copenhagen, Østerport offers regal history, scenic harbours, and a touch of Danish quirk. From fairytale castles to a famous mermaid stealing the show, it’s the perfect blend of city buzz and green-space calm.
Start your day with a stroll through Kastellet, home to one of Europe’s best-preserved ‘star fortresses’ – a military marvel with star-shaped walls designed to outlast cannon fire. Don’t let its defensive history fool you – today, it’s a peaceful retreat with swans gliding gracefully across the moat, lush green ramparts perfect for a leisurely walk, and a charming windmill that feels plucked from the pages of a book of fairytales. And just a 10-minute walk away, you’ll find Copenhagen’s leading lady – the iconic Little Mermaid statue. Perched on her rock, she enchants visitors from around the world. Yes, she’s smaller than you might expect, but she certainly does make waves on Instagram!
When it’s time to eat, let your taste buds take a tour of Denmark’s finest flavours. Østerport is brimming with cosy cafes and top-notch restaurants serving up everything from flaky, buttery pastries that melt in your mouth to gourmet smørrebrød (open sandwiches piled high with fresh, delicious toppings). For the true taste of Denmark, wash it all down with an ice-cold Carlsberg or a bold, aromatic cup of Danish coffee.
Then take a 15-minute stroll to the stately Amalienborg Palace, the Queen’s official residence, where you can marvel at its grandeur and even catch the changing of the guard. Just a 10-minute stroll away, you’ll find Rosenborg Castle, a Renaissance masterpiece that houses the dazzling Danish crown jewels and exudes centuries of regal charm.
If modern art is more your thing, the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) is just a 10-minute walk from Østerport Station, offering an inspiring blend of classic masterpieces and contemporary creativity.
As the day winds down, Østerport offers a peaceful retreat away from the city’s buzz. Take a sunset stroll along the waterfront at Langelinie Promenade, where ships drift lazily by and the golden light shimmers across the water. But if you’re up for a livelier evening, Østerport is perfectly positioned near some of Copenhagen’s most vibrant nightlife spots.
A 10-minute cab ride will take you to Nyhavn, where colourful harbourfront bars serve up cold beers and live jazz. For a more contemporary vibe, get a 15-minute cab ride to the Kødbyen district, where chic clubs, craft cocktail bars, and late-night bites keep the energy alive long after the sun has set.
Whether you’re looking for chill or thrill, Østerport has you covered.
