Copenhagen City Guide

overall city rating 69%

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. Here resides the statue of the Little Mermaid, inspired by famous children’s author and Denmark native Hans Christian Anderson. Her iconic form and ambiguous gaze draw almost 1 million visitors every year. Copenhagen has is it all; it is a city steeped in culture and tradition, yet has a fresh, contemporary vibe.

    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

    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.
