Copenhagen City Guide

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, has a myriad of attractions to suit all ages and tastes. The city can boast the longest pedestrian shopping avenue in Europe, Strøget. A shopper’s paradise, it is packed with designer boutiques and trendy eateries. After some retail therapy, pay a visit to Tivoli Gardens, the inner-city pleasure park that offers one of the oldest wooden roller-coasters in existence, aswell as the tallest carousel in the world. The harbour area of the city is great for a morning stroll after partying the night away in the various pubs and clubs.

  “ I spent 11 winter weeks here and wanted to leave after 11 days. The Danes are rude and cold, the prices are outrageous (unless you live here and benefit from the welfare state), and businesses continually tried to rip me off. I will NEVER return to this provincial, over inflated,… more nationalistic city again. Anything worthwhile seeing can be covered in 48 hours. Spend your travel bucks elsewhere.close

  “ A lovely city - ideal for a weekend break. Quite pricey (similar to Dublin), and will be interesting to see how the Danish Kroner fares given the current global economic issues. The Kongen Nyrtov square was impressive, especially the lighting and ice-rink. The Stroget shopping street really… more makes the city for a tourist as it allows you to ramble down to the Radhus square. The canals & waterfront also allow for plenty of picturesque photos. Best way to view the city may be on bicycle, and a boat trip could be worthwhile in the summertime too.close

  “ I really enjoyed my few days in Copenhagen. Sure, it's a little expensive but it's a Scandinavian country so I was expecting things to cost that bit extra. It's still possible to keep the cost down, which I tried to do by looking out for free days at the attractions and buffet offers at some… more of the restaurants. There are lots of things to see, from the almost obligatory Little Mermaid statue to the Christiania commune to the Carlsberg Brewery in the Vesterbro area of the city. There are a lot of places to shop around the city and the nightlife is pretty varied too. Autumn was a pretty good time to go I thought, as the place wasn't teeming with people but the weather was still really nice. Altogether, it was well worth the trip.close
