Practical Information

Plan on arriving at London Heathrow at least 3 hours before your flight to Copenhagen leaves. That way, you'll have enough time to move through security and find your gate in this massive airport. Canadians can travel to Denmark for up to 90 days without a visa, as long as your passport is valid for at least 3 months from your date of departure. Denmark is part of the Schengen area, which allows border-free travel between all Schengen countries, but your 90 day limit still applies within all of them.

What to Expect in Copenhagen

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, has a reputation of being one of the happiest cities in the world, and with good reason! Its bike-friendly cobblestone streets and laid-back, cozy atmosphere are extremely inviting. Take a tour of Rosenborg Castle, or walk through the stables of Christiansborg Palace for old-world opulence and a taste of medieval life in Denmark. Copenhagen is known for its world-class fine dining, but you won't want to miss grabbing a bite of street food at the market on Paper Island, either!
