Nyhavn, Copenhagen

 100 Reviews  Nyhavn is one of the liveliest places in Copenhagen, even in winter, and should not be missed.

Riz Raz

Riz Raz, Copenhagen

 19 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...

Tivoli

Tivoli, Copenhagen

 13 Reviews  Tivoli at night is a chance to see everything in one place: restaurants, bars, live music, fair amusements, etc. It's not cheap though, and not very advisable if you like to go out to quiet places. But it shows some impressive views and neon's. totally casual 

Transportation

The train station and ticket sale are located at terminal 3 in Copenhagen Airport, and terminal 3 is the terminal where you arrive after you have passed customs control. To get from the airport to the... 

Public transport - general

Public transport - general, Copenhagen

Lifestyle & Habits

Lifestyle & Habits, Copenhagen

 21 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 and Dangers  

Cyclists & bicycle paths

Cyclists & bicycle paths, Copenhagen

 15 Reviews  Many residents of Copenhagen have chosen the bicycle as their preferred mode of transport. The city has a significant network of cycle paths and most roads have a cycle lane. This can be challenging for pedestrians who do not look carefully when crossing the road as these silent modes of transport... 

Pickpockets

Pickpockets, Copenhagen

Tourist Traps  

Little Mermaid

Little Mermaid, Copenhagen

 31 Reviews  Take public transport as close as you can. Yes, the statue is small and unremarkable; however, the walk back toward the city is wonderful: the Anglican church, old fort, sailors' housing, etc. Stay just a minute or two, take some pics, and then enjoy the walk back toward the city. 

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 The other three posting may be out of date (2004~2006) and therefore valid at the time, but as of my visit, I found it an exceptional deal and very...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  

Dragør

Dragør, Copenhagen

 7 Reviews  Dragør is a small village about 15 kilometers from Copenhagen, very near the airport. It's a very idyllic place with old houses and a nice bach. The harbour is the place to hang out in my opinion and it still has a few fishermen bringing in the catch and you can buy fish directly from them. It´s a... 

Parks & Outdoor areas

Parks & Outdoor areas, Copenhagen

 16 Reviews   I used to work in the northern part of Copenhagen, and on my way to and from work I passed through the beautiful Mølleådalen (translated: Valley of a small river with many watermills)...
