A 5-Day Journey from Germany to Denmark (and beyond!)

This summer adventure took me from Germany 🚄 up through Hamburg 🌆, across the Danish countryside 🌾, and into the heart of Copenhagen 🇩🇰 — a city full of history, canals, cozy cafés, and a relaxed summer vibe. Here’s how the trip unfolded, day by day.

📅 Day 1 – August 17: Germany → Hamburg

The trip started bright and early 🌅 with the S9 train from Karlsruhe (6:26am) to the main station, where I caught the ICE to Hamburg (6:51am). The five-hour ride was smooth, with plenty of time for reading, podcasts, and gazing out at the rolling German countryside 🌳🚂.

By the time I reached Hamburg in the afternoon, there was just enough energy left for a simple dinner 🍝 and a walk around the neighborhood before heading to bed 🛏️. Tomorrow, the real journey north would begin!

📅 Day 2 – August 18: Hamburg → Copenhagen

After a quick breakfast ☕ and some time at a local playground 🛝 (perfect for stretching legs before another long train ride), it was time to board the train to Copenhagen at 10:53am.

The ride took about five hours 🚆 — passing through fields, lakes, and the pretty Danish countryside. Arriving in Copenhagen felt exciting: new energy, new streets, and bikes everywhere 🚲.

I checked into Urban House Copenhagen by Meininger 🏨, a lively hostel with a social vibe. After unpacking, I took a short evening walk 🚶‍♂️ around the city to get a feel for it. Tivoli Gardens glowed in the background with twinkling lights ✨, but instead of heading inside, I grabbed a quick dinner at McDonald’s 🍔 at the train station. Simple, but comforting after a long travel day.

📅 Day 3 – August 19: Classic Copenhagen

This was the first full day of sightseeing — and Copenhagen delivered.

⛵ Canal Tour – The best way to start!

I was lucky enough to see the changing of the guards 🚶‍♂️. ☕ Café stop – Copenhagen is full of cozy cafés, perfect for a break between sightseeing. 🎡 Tivoli Gardens – The evening highlight! Opened in 1843, Tivoli is one of the world’s oldest amusement parks. I strolled through gardens, watched the lights come on, and soaked in the magic ✨.

Dinner was casual: sandwiches 🥪 from a local shop — a quick and tasty way to wrap up the day.

📅 Day 4 – August 20: Islands, Art & Street Food

This day was all about exploring beyond the obvious sights.

⛴️ Morning Ferry – A short boat ride to a nearby island, perfect for sea views and fresh air. 🪖 Kastellet Fortress – A star-shaped 17th-century fortress surrounded by grassy paths and historic buildings. Great for a calm walk. 🧜‍♀️ The Little Mermaid – Probably Copenhagen’s most famous statue. Small, but iconic — and definitely worth a photo stop. 🍴 Lunch at Reffen – A buzzing street food market by the water with stalls from all over the world 🌮🍜🍹. Great atmosphere and flavors! 🎨 Copenhagen Contemporary – A modern art center inside an old industrial building, with large-scale installations and unique exhibitions. 🚲 Bike ride – A quick spin around the city — Copenhagen is built for cycling 🚴. 🍗 Dinner at Chicky Grill – A casual, satisfying meal before winding down.

The day ended with a sunset walk 🌅 along the waterfront — the perfect way to see the city glow.

📅 Day 5 – August 21: Farewell Copenhagen

The last morning was about soaking in a few final sights before leaving Denmark.

Five days was just enough to see the highlights — but I could’ve easily stayed longer. Whether you’re into history, food, or just soaking in a relaxed summer vibe, Copenhagen has a little bit of everything 🌞.
