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 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

It\'s location actually is good, but difficult to find as it it seems that is unfinished, there is just an A4 paper showing the hostel name at the entrance, and when I asked for the kitchen, they just direct to an micro-wave oven......One of the toilet also under construction....However, I...more It\'s location actually is good, but difficult to find as it it seems that is unfinished, there is just an A4 paper showing the hostel name at the entrance, and when I asked for the kitchen, they just direct to an micro-wave oven......One of the toilet also under construction....However, I think It will be good when it is finished. Location is excellent, just 15 minutes walk to Nyhavn.close

A very expensive city, with drinks going at around £5 a pint. The sights aren\'t amazing, possibly even disappointing. The metro service doesn\'t have as frequent stops as most other cities, meaning there is more walking to be done. The nightlife is very fun, full of Irisih Pubs...more A very expensive city, with drinks going at around £5 a pint. The sights aren\'t amazing, possibly even disappointing. The metro service doesn\'t have as frequent stops as most other cities, meaning there is more walking to be done. The nightlife is very fun, full of Irisih Pubs with lots of character and interesting people. Not the cleanest of cities...close

Take a good pair of walking shoes to Copenhagen and you can see all the major sites very easily and it doesnt cost a cent! Dont forget a trip to Christina - the social experiment from the hippy area still going strong today with houses build from recycled material - just be wary walking down...more Take a good pair of walking shoes to Copenhagen and you can see all the major sites very easily and it doesnt cost a cent!

There are some great jazz clubs in Copenhagen, and you can easily pass the night listening to smoky music. However, there is a drawback to Copenhagen, and that is the rampant smoking. Beer is plentiful, and its easy to rent a bicycle to get around the city. The Little Mermaid is a sight to see,...more There are some great jazz clubs in Copenhagen, and you can easily pass the night listening to smoky music. However, there is a drawback to Copenhagen, and that is the rampant smoking. Beer is plentiful, and its easy to rent a bicycle to get around the city. The Little Mermaid is a sight to see, but a word of warning, don't go there on a bitter cold winter day. The wind from the harbour will cut through you.close

Excellent city, very clean, safe, historical, friendly, educational. It is the perfect place to spend a long weekend or easily a week as there are too much things to see and do. People are really friendly and helpful. You can get the train from Copenhagen Central Station and visit Malmo (Sweden)...more Excellent city, very clean, safe, historical, friendly, educational.

However the huge issue with it is that it is one of the most expensive cities in the world, and in my opinion more so then London. Food is hard to get for cheap, alcohol is also expensive and as for sightseeing, there is only so much and it all again adds up. I do reccommend going and doing a day trip especially to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art however budget a good amount of money.close

This city has some of the most friendliest people i have meet. But overall I felt this town was very simillar to amsterdam but on a much smaller scale. We found it very difcult to get vaule for money, transport cost more than we thought and the same with food. Tickets for musuem were resonable...more This city has some of the most friendliest people i have meet. But overall I felt this town was very simillar to amsterdam but on a much smaller scale.
