Places To Go
Looking for an adventure you can do on your own? This is your list. Here are my best recommendations for places to go, without a guide to celebrate the scary holidays.
This old amusement park in the middle of Copenhagen is a must-see if you're visitng for Halloween. They make incredible decorations and host TWO haunted houses. Going to Tivoli for the holidays have always been a tradition in my family.
Tivoli Gardens - Halloween decorations
The original LEGO themepark, always impresses with amazing halloween LEGO-decoration. A great day for both adults and kids. We used to stay at the LEGO-hotel as kids, and it was so much fun with the building-contests.
LEGOLAND Billund
A fun way to experience Copenhagen while adding to the holiday-feel. And the best part? You can do it at your own pace. I think it's great because you can do it with family, or friends, or even af combination!
Copenhagen Self-Guided Murder Mystery Tour by the Round Tower.
Should be done after dark to get the most chills! Definitely one for the thrill-seekers, wanting to learn some out-of-the-ordinary facts about Copenhagen.
GhostWalk Copenhagen: Self-Guided Audio Experience
A fun outdoor escape game, which also can be done at your own pace. To increase the scariness, I would recommend starting after dark.
Copenhagen: Escape Game Outdoor Theme Magic Team
Matches really well with doing the guided ruins tour, I am mentioning in the next section! A fun way to add a scary element when visiting Copenhagen.
The Murder by Christiansborg Palace: Interactive Mystery Hunt
A lot of crazy things happening at Ripley's. Definitely worth a shot to experience something out of the ordinary.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! Copenhagen
Believe it or not, the castles of Denmark often have a dark side to them. Visiting a castle or two and listening to the stories from the guides is always a learningful experience.
Kronborg Slot - Castle of Denmark
My most memorable Halloween tradition is the pumpkin carving! And at this place you can go out and choose your own pumpkin. They also do a lot of other activities, especially for kids which is super nice. But I like that you get a chance to get out i...

Discovering the ruins of Christiansborg are an amazing experience. Not only is it super interesting, but it might get a little scary too!
Ruins under Christiansborg Palace
It is fun to experience the nightlife during holidayseason. A lot of bars offer special drinks, and do special decor during Halloween, and with a pubcrawl you will get to see a bit of everything!
Party Pub Crawl Copenhagen
One of the best Escape Rooms in Copenhagen. Will be perfect for Halloween. They have different rooms, at some where you work together, and some where you work against each other. We were a bigger group and decided to compete agains each other. It was...

A different kind of scary! Go to GoMonkey, and experience a different kind of scared. I loved the heights, and definitely felt the adrenaline.
