The beauty of Papirøen is in the small boutiques of food, boiled wine, or handmade things. The combination of details, diversity of people, and a sunny day best show the culture of this place. Having a positive attitude will help your eye understand what details you should capture to document this type of socialising.

The water buses allow people to travel easily from one canal to another. They will help you see beautiful sights like the Copenhagen Opera House or the Royal Library at a very good price.

Built as a country summer house in 1606 by Christian IV, Rosenborg Castle has an interior design that sends visitors 400 years back in time. The gardens of the castle are now public parks for Copenhageners and are free for everyone.

From Nyhavn you can take a five-minute walk to the Amalienborg Palace, home of the Danish royal family. Here you can access Amalienborg square and photograph the change of Danish royal guards. You can visit the Amalienborg Museum and have a look inside Danish royal family life.

With a history of more than 250 years, the Nyhavn canal has many historic wooden ships and is lined with brightly colored town houses, bars, cafés, and restaurants. The harbour is a strong symbol of Denmark and has a metropolitan lifestyle which is very alive in the summertime, the perfect season for photographing it. A sunny day will help you to capture not only the beautiful colours and tones of the buildings but also the social life and atmosphere around the place.

Graffiti is the predominant type of art around the city and illustrates not only the Danish and Copenhagen culture, but also cartoons and political figures. The Nørrebro neighbourhood is one of the richest places for this type of art.

Christiania, a self-proclaimed autonomous neighborhood of about a thousand residents, is a place of color, hippy art, freedom, and relaxation. Take a walk around the lake near the neighborhood and observe the culture. Colourful houses, statues, and different kinds of art are all around. You are not allowed to take photographs on Pusher Street, the place where the cannabis shops are. (Note: Marijuana is not legal in Copenhagen.)

The national library of Denmark and the university library of the University of Copenhagen, the Royal Library, is the largest library in the Nordic countries.

After you capture Amagertorv and its fountain, you can visit Christiansborg Palace, the seat of the Danish Parliament. Even if you have cloudy and windy weather, be like a Dane and don’t worry about it. Go to a very windy place, the tower of the palace. Everyone has free access to the court of the Parliament and to the tower.

From Rådhuspladsen you can head to Strøget Street, one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in Europe, with a wealth of shops from budget-friendly chains to some of the world's most expensive brands. Along the way you will visit Nytorv square, where you will see the neoclassical facade of the Copenhagen courthouse, which from 1815 to 1905 also served as the city hall. After that, Amagertorv square will be your next location for photography from Strøget Street. The best way to capture the architecture of Amagertorv is from windows in the first or second floor of any shop around the square.
