Best Copenhagen Photo Locations - 2025 Visual Guide


As a Copenhagen photographer, I'm thrilled to share with you some of the most captivating spots in this beautiful city for lifestyle, weddings, couples or proposal photoshoots. Copenhagen, with its picturesque streets, historic landmarks, and charming waterfront, offers an abundance of stunning locations that are perfect for capturing your special moments. ✨

Nyhavn - meaning "New Harbor," is perhaps one of the most iconic and recognizable spots in Copenhagen. This vibrant waterfront district boasts colorful 17th-century townhouses, lively cafes, and historic ships lining the canal. The picturesque scenery, with its charming cobblestone streets and bustling atmosphere, provides the perfect backdrop for romantic photoshoots. Capture the magic of Nyhavn as you stroll along the canal or pose by the waterfront with the iconic wooden boats in the background. Address: Nyhavn 1F, 1051 København Tip: Remember that Nyhavn is the most iconic place in Copenhagen, and if you want to have a photo session without a big crowd, it's better to do the session as early as possible. 😊

Kastellet - a well-preserved fortress and one of the best-preserved star fortresses in Northern Europe, offers a unique setting for photoshoots. The star-shaped fortress is surrounded by lush green ramparts, creating a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. You can explore the scenic grounds, which include a picturesque windmill, military barracks, and a beautiful church. The expansive views of the city skyline and the surrounding moat add to the charm of Kastellet, making it a favorite spot for any kind of photoshoot. Address: Gl.

Christianshavn Neighborhood - Christianshavn is one of my top favorite spots for couple photoshoots especially. This charming neighborhood is known for its canals, colorful houses, and artistic vibe. As a photographer, I love exploring its narrow cobblestone streets and quaint alleyways, discovering hidden courtyards and historic landmarks along the way. Whether it's posing by the waterfront with the picturesque canals in the background or capturing intimate moments against the backdrop of the iconic Church of Our Savior, Christianshavn offers a romantic atmosphere and unique charm that are perfect for photoshoots.



 

Marble Church (Frederik's Church) - The Marble Church, also known as Frederik's Church, is a stunning example of Rococo architecture and a popular destination for photoshoots in Copenhagen. Admire the majestic dome, constructed of Norwegian marble, and pose on the steps of the church or inside its grand interior. The elegant surroundings and intricate details make the Marble Church an ideal location for capturing timeless images that you'll cherish forever. Address: Frederiksgade 4, 1265 København

Whether it's exploring cozy cafes or quaint shops, Magstræde offers an old-world charm and romantic atmosphere that are perfect for intimate and heartfelt photoshoots. It's a truly magical place that never fails to capture the essence of love and romance.Addres: Magstræde 17, 1204 København K, D


 

Christiansborg Palace - Located on Slotsholmen, Christiansborg Palace is an iconic landmark in Copenhagen with a rich history and stunning architecture. The palace, which houses the Danish Parliament, Supreme Court, and Prime Minister's Office, offers grand backdrops for photoshoots.

Garden of the Royal Library - This charming garden behind the Black Diamond library is a hidden gem in Copenhagen, open from 6 am to 10 pm.
