Things to Do  

Tivoli

Tivoli, Copenhagen

 175 Reviews  I didn't enter the Tivoli gardens. After reading review after review saying that it wasn't worth the money, I turned back after seeing the prices. Because not only do you have to pay almost 13 euros per adult to enter. You then have to pay over 3 euros for each ride. Well 3 euros for each ride... 

Christiania

Christiania, Copenhagen

 66 Reviews  The autonomous district of Christiania is just the kind of place I would have wanted to live as an idealistic teenager. It's entirely self-run and self-regulated. Much to the annoyance of the Danish government. This unusual state of affairs leads Christiania to be one hell of an unusual place. The... 

Hotels  

Hilton Copenhagen Airport

 10 Reviews and 779 Opinions  Wannabe location..close to airport and steps to subway train..this property is only for business... 

Marriott Copenhagen

 5 Reviews and 1096 Opinions  As we were a group of seven, we got a great deal from the Marriott (two nights only 75e per person)... 

Restaurants  

Riz Raz

Riz Raz, Copenhagen

 21 Reviews  It's not completely vegetarian but it's strong middle eastern bent means Riz Raz is a haven for vegetarians in this meat friendly city. It's also very good value, with an all you can eat buffet to tuck into. It's clean and bright with friendly staff and the food is decent as well. Sure I've eaten... 

Nyhavn

Nyhavn, Copenhagen

 12 Reviews  As in every European city of this size everybody can easily find the suitable restaurant for his/her preferences and taste. And the genuine Danish food must not be missed!! What is less easy in Copenhagen to find the ones fitting to the wallets of a big part of its visitors - Copenhagen is an... 

Nightlife  

Vega.

Vega., Copenhagen

 10 Reviews  Vega is both a club and a live venue. It's probaply the most popular place with young danes at the moment. It has several gigs a week with both danish and international bands. It also has a nice bar next door called ideal bar. This is a little off the tourist track and a good place to go if you want... 

Rosie McGee's

Rosie McGee's, Copenhagen

 9 Reviews  Awesome, 2-story club with a retractable roof. # bars, a shot bar, great dancing until 5 in the morning...see my profile for more:) Dress is from sneakers (with nice jeans and a club top) to mostly button up shirts with dress shoes, up to suits and ties...all modern Scandivian style. 

Transportation  

Train

Train, Copenhagen

 52 Reviews  Easy way of traveling inside and outside Denmark.You can travel on a relation Malme - Copenhagen by train.It's so easy,fast and practical,specially for those who live in Sweden and work in Denmark or opposite. 

Public transport - general

Public transport - general, Copenhagen

 23 Reviews  There is an excellent public transport system in Copenhagen. We took the train from the airport to the main station and also hopped on a few buses. The fun thing about buses is that unlike metro lines where you know where you are going to get off, buses can take you in the completely the wrong... 

Shopping  

Strøget

Strøget, Copenhagen

 24 Reviews  The Stroget is the longest pedestrianised street in the World,the street is bound to the west by Radhus Plasden square and to the east by the Kings New Square(Kongens).Many of the city's most famous and expensive stores are here such as IIIums Boligus,Magasin Du Nord and Royal Copenhagen Porcelain... 

Souvenirs

Souvenirs, Copenhagen

 4 Reviews  A typical Souvenir shop located in the Stroget shopping district selling anything from fridge magnets,mugs,tea towels,flags,badges,caps and jewellery.Reasonable prices(depending on what the item is)nice displays and friendly staff. Souvenirs depends on item but reasonably cheap 

Local Customs  

Lifestyle & Habits

Lifestyle & Habits, Copenhagen

 25 Reviews  On the Hop on Hop off bus tour we learned about the garden allotments. In Danish culture the allotment garden has become a symbol of blue-collar culture - with all the positives and negatives associated with that. In Copenhagen an association named "Arbejdernes Værn" (lit. "The Worker's... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Cyclists & bicycle paths

Cyclists & bicycle paths, Copenhagen

 14 Reviews  Only a very few cyclists in Copenhagen wear bicycle helmets, but I did manage to find a dozen of them for these four photo collages. OK, the guy on the right in the first photo isn't riding a bicycle, but he is wearing a helmet, so I decided to include him just to make it an even dozen. If he... 

Public transport & tickets

Public transport & tickets, Copenhagen

 3 Reviews  I am very sorry that after a wonderful weekend in Copenhagen the very first tip I am writing is a very negative one. However, I am still so frigging angry about how I was treated I simply have to write it off my mind. Here goes: If you are a wheelchair user trying to use Copenhagen's HUR bus... 

Tourist Traps  

Little Mermaid

Little Mermaid, Copenhagen

 31 Reviews  Who would think to check if an icon of the city was still there? 45 min walk to find a rock with a hole in it and a video screen (which is useless when the sun is on it). I didn't care about it but my wife wanted to see it, left a bitter taste in our mouths, especially after wasting our time... 

Copenhagen Card

Copenhagen Card, Copenhagen

 4 Reviews  I want to put it down in writing to possibly dispel the negative posts on here that claim the Copenhagen card is a tourist trap. I completely disagree. The other three posting may be out of date (2004~2006) and therefore valid at the time, but as of my visit, I found it an exceptional deal and very... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Christiania

Christiania, Copenhagen

 14 Reviews  Years ago when WWII soldiers abandoned there "houses" near the river some hippies went to live there. And other hippies came and it is now a big hippy comuna just in the city. I have never seen something similar ... Take care and do not take pictures (hippies do not like). You can walk, take a cup... 

Architecture

Architecture, Copenhagen

 24 Reviews  I don't know if there is something alike in all the world. For me, it was the first (and last) time that I crossed a strange men's work that starts being a bridge and, suddenly dives into the sea to become a tunnel. Expensive, of course, but a clever solution and a different experience, putting... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Parken

Parken, Copenhagen

 21 Reviews  if you are in copenhagen and want to wantch the national football team or fc.copenhagen then you should go to the national arena called "parken". it's the home of fc.copenhagen and the national team and is a very nice and modern football stadium. fc.copenhagen is at the moment the leading danish... 

Favorites  

Squares & Statues

Squares & Statues, Copenhagen

 27 Reviews  When we were trying to find the HOHO (hop on hop off) bus, we came to this square. I thought the memorial was a War Memorial. Actually it is the Liberty Memorial which is kind of the opposite. It celebrates the end of adscription. Adscription is another name for serfdom. That's what the... 

Canals and harbour

Canals and harbour, Copenhagen

 33 Reviews  I am always interested in ATONs (Aids To Navigation) and a friend said they envisioned me going around with my camera and photographing lighthouses everywhere. And that's not far from the truth, although I do photograph things other than lighthouses. In any case, when we sailed out of Copenhagen, I...
