Danish Kroner - not Euro
by Gillybob
Denmark is a member of the European Union, however, this does not automatically mean that its currency is the Euro.
In fact, the European Union and the Euro Zone have differenct memberships. Countries within the European Union that are NOT members of the Euro Zone include :
Denmark
Sweden
United Kingdom
Some shops, restaurants, museums, hotels and other establishments will accept the Euro but given you change in Kroner. Unfortunately, this is the most costly way to operate in Copenhagen as the exchange rate offered for Euro will be lower than the norm if changed anywhere other than Foreign Exchange Bureaux or banks.
"FREE Museum Day"
by aaaarrgh
Yes, yet another chance to have something for FREE in Denmark!!
Wednesday is Free Museum Day which means, obviously, you can enter all Copenhagen's museums and galleries for no charge.
There are human limits to how many museums you can take in a whole day, but certainly 2 or 3 would be a respectable goal :-) Considering most of the city's museums and galleries only charge 20-30kr, you could 'save' up enough for a meal at the end of the day ;-)
I noticed that schools and parents take the opportunity to have mass outings on Wednesdays to the city's museums. In my view, it made the day all the more pleasant - children and young adults studying, drawing, following routes with excitement.
Take a walk down pusher street...
by kinky9kev
Take a walk down pusher street in Christiana. Feel the vibe of alternative living and think to yourself, this is how life should be lived way from the conventions and restrictions of conservatism. Purchase some 'magic mushrooms' and try to come up on them in the Tivoli pleasure gardens. Tripping on the mushrooms whilst in the midst of the stunning kaleidoscope of the flower gardens is just sheer bliss and everything appears so gentle and serene.
It was like reaching a higher level of Nirvana but only because the backdrop was Tivoli. Tivoli Gardens is a magical place where dreams can come true. The carousing, dancing and making merry in the bars and clubs of Copenhagen. The people that you meet in the bars and have fascinating, interesting conversations with strangers who end up being good friends. Basically I love meeting people, especially strangers and it's always good to make a connection with people, especially the Scandanavians.
Visitors Centre
by SandiMandi
When you arrive in Copenhagen, you should visit the official tourist information centre, located just a few minutes' walk from the central station, opposite the main entrance to Tivoli.
The service is very good and there are lots of brochures available about everything in and around Copenhagen. You'll also get your free citymap here.
The address: Vesterbrogade 4A.
