    Gorgeous!

    Beautiful city, a must-see. Expensive but totally worth it for a short trip (I went for 2 days, 3 nights)

    Copenhagen is a very nice city, but felt a bit unsafe at night with all the police siren in the background. The shopping street was one of the most diverse and longest shopping street I've seen in the whole of Europe, and enjoyed shopping there as well. Visited many palaces and the River Cruise is a must as well!

    Insider Tip:Take the River Cruise to explore the city! Because the Cruise allows you to alight at various stops along the route, and board the next one that comes along, this lets us alight and walk around various sections of the city.

    Such a good place to stay!

    Wintertime, very cold and windy but so sunny, we really enjoyed the city and surroundings, local food brunches and ... amazing landscapes thanks or due to the frozen canals and snow... an amazing and very living city

    Insider Tip:Go to the post office, join the 5th floor, and have a brunch with the view over the whole city ... just perfect... and not so expensive... good value

    Copenhagen, the beatiful capital of Denmark!

    Copenhagen is a wonderful city with over 6000 years of history. Stop by the Black Diamond which houses some of the oldest books ever written in Danish, or visit Tivoli, the second oldest theme park ever built, or relax and take a good in the concepts of Danish Huga. If your looking for some very unique, perhaps take a stroll to and through Christiania, a 30-acre large anarchist colony (ironically one of the safest places in town).

    Insider Tip:As with all capital cities, know that this city is particularly expensive. The average sausage from one of the stands costs about 28 DKK and a 0.5L soda 20-30 DKK. Meaning a snack size lunch will cost you around $10-$12. The best Restaurants expect to pay in excess of 200 DKK or about $40 for your plate only. As of 20 Feb, 2012 the city is still under major construction to repair damages from a massive deluge of rain that occurred during the summer. This has caused some disruption in inner-city travel lines

    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!
