    Copenhagen!

    It was a very clean and seemingly very organized city. It was a little bit expensive for me but the people were very happy and nice. i liked strolling through the different neighborhoods.

    Insider Tip:Go to nearby Sweden...it's right there! Also catch a ferry to Bornholm. It's awesome. There are a lot of options for public transport out of the city and the public transport into the city was quick and organized.

    Great Bike Friendly City

    This city was very nice but a little spread out. It was not real easily walkable. Tivoli was really cool to see and the city also had many more little surprises to reveal.

    Insider Tip:I would suggest renting bikes. It is not real expensive and the city is so bike friendly. There are even bike parking lots because there are so many bikes.

    Go to Copenhagen!

    Copenhagen was great! I loved this city so much. It was so pretty and felt very safe. I could've spent many more days there. It was easy for us to get around and people were pretty friendly and helpful. The canal tour was really cool to see too. I highly recommend going to Copenhagen!

    Copenhagen is awesome

    I really loved the city, which is not as big as I expected. You can do everything on foot, so you don't need the metro or other public transport.

    Insider Tip:Do a boat trip through the city! and if you have plenty of time go to the Experimentarium. They recommend about 4-5 hours for that, it took us 8 as there are so many interessting things to do and see.
