    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.

    many many reason to love Cph!

    I'm italian but I live in Nordasjælland since august 2012 and I don't have any plans to go back to Italy! I love to visit Cph very often, it's simply great! It would be easy to complain about the costliness but don't forget that this is Scandinavia! Cph is for sure a not cheap destination!

    Insider Tip:Christiania is not just pusher street ;) Have a walk in it's little streets!

    Lovely City

    I love Copenhagen. One thing I didn't expect was how expensive it was although I would probably come back there again. I almost got robbed near the Royal Palace going to the harbor (en route to the Little Mermaid) by Arabian speaking guys. Maybe that calls for a patrol in that area.

    I traveled to Copenhagen for Sensation White. Copenhagen was a very interesting city. VERY expensive unfortunately.

    Insider Tip:Bring stacks.
