City Guide Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a beautiful modern city with friendly people and a lot to see and do. The first thing that we noticed there is how healthy everyone looks! It was strange to see everyone cycling and jogging everywhere to then find out that SO many people smoke! The city itself feels very fresh and interesting but sadly we felt it didn't have much character. We felt like we could have been anywhere.

Insider Tip:Don't bother to to see the mermaid statue - it is extremely average and completely out of the way. Boat tours are great for copenhagen and not too pricey!

Brand New

Good location, building is brand new. The common space was great, and the terrace was a nice touch (though no wifi outside). Breakfast was definitely not worth it. Security was a bit of a problem - there were only 2 lockers in the 4 bedroom dorm I was staying in, and both were already taken when I got there. The baggage storage area was really just a closet that almost anyone could walk into and there was no staff checking bags or anything. I had to pay for a locker to put valuables.

Beautiful and you're paying for it

A beautiful city with nice canal trips, castles near by, easy to navigate and use public transit, but my goodness, so freakin expensive. And there is no cheap option. Best bet for meals is to buy from the grocery store and cook in.

Beer on the water.

Copenhagen has beautiful scenery with so many canals and a fair amount of green space. The city has a great mixture of old and modern architecture. Great city to sit on the water's edge and drink a cold beer. The public transit system is pretty complicated but runs very frequently.

Insider Tip:Carlsberg brewery tour includes 2 free drinks.

Copenhagen is very very expensive !

1,5 Liter Coke in a supermarket (if you found one) nearly 3,60 € Same price like a package of cigarettes !!!
