The last of the inner city stations (meaning all but one of the S-trains stop here, this goes for…read moreany station between Svanemøllen in the north to Dybbølsbro in the south), the platform area has a sort of old school feel to them, you can sort of sense the original architecture of the 1930s when the S-trains were first constructed. The station building itself is fairly nondescript and somewhat worn down. Loads of bicycle parking outside, which is a plus for commuters, what is less great is that the parking area is apparently a smorgasbord for bike thieves, know a lot of people who have lost bikes or parts of bikes from here. There's quite a cute little coffee stand outside, so you're not forced to get the 7Eleven coffee inside if you want a coffee for your train ride. Navigation is pretty easy, there's one platform for southbound trains (going towards Copenhagen and beyond) and one for northbound trains. Pick the right one and you can't go wrong, especially if going to Nørreport or København H, as all southbound trains stop at these two stations. Very easy to explain to any you out-of-town visitors.

For some reason in Copenhagen, suspicious people like to hang out at this train station and I saw…read moreat least one pick pocket in action on the Metro platform. You can tell the suspicious people they are the ones that are just "hanging out" looking like they have no where to go, or just walking un circles looking at you and everyone else and are not self directed toward their transportation or just following other people until they are noticed and they break off. I had to use this confusing station to get back to my hotel a few times but until I was on the train my anxiety level was up. Once on the train there were numerous security agents. Wish they had a law in Copenhagen that you can not loiter at or near train stations, you must always be directing yourself toward your transportation would make it a safer place. What is it about train stations in Europe that attracts suspicious people? PS. If you are from the US with a US credit card the ticket machines only take debit and coins for tickets. US credit cards require a signature and ID check and machines reject them.

I love the metro in København and Nørreport is one reason why. The station is super easy to…read morenavigate. It is completely handicapped accessible. There is very good signage in both English and Danish. And because it's in "downtown" København, the trains run often. Nørreport is not just S-train, but also serves the metro and main lines. It is actually the busiest railway station in all of Denmark. Even more so than the Central station. From here, you can catch the M1 and M2 of the metro, most of the S trains and even regional trains to Zealand and Sweden. There is a ton of bicycle parking at street level and yes, bicycles are allowed on the trains here (just not during rush hours). Nørreport is between Vesterport and Østerport stations. It is in Fare zone 1. There are bus connections at street level, too.

Took DFDS Seaways (I think they are called Go Nordic Cruise line, now) for our transit to Oslo, and…read moreit was a lot more fun than expected. The ferry felt more like a mini cruise, with bars, restaurants, a duty-free shop, and even live music onboard. We grabbed a drink and hung out on deck, and it made the trip feel like part of the vacation. Cabins are basic but clean. Don't expect luxury, but it's comfortable enough for a night's rest. The boarding and check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly throughout. If you're traveling between Norway and Denmark, this is a scenic, relaxed alternative to flying. Bonus points for the Fjord views and the relaxed onboard vibe.

DFDS offers modest rooms and standard food service. Boarding was relatively simple, even for…read moreforeign passport holders, and the ride was smoother than expected. Not a luxury service in any way, and the cabins could use some maintenance (even a staff member could barely open the door to ours and had to call for assistance), but it's a decent way to move from Copenhagen to Oslo.

Amazing hotel! Phenomenal history. Excellent food! Bjarne is awesome! He greeted us. Took care of…read moreour luggage and got us into our room very early! We had come straight from cruise ship expecting to just store luggage till room ready. Our room was open and he out us right in. What a treat. Can see the baltic sea from our room. Nice large room. Very comfortable. Food was outstanding! Beautiful history and well taken care of. Thank you Lena and her sister in law! I forgot her name. So sorry! Maddie marie and Amelia are awesome as well! Attentive and responsive. We rented bikes and had lunch at the fort! Rode through a beautiful park and also on the beach. Highly recommend a stop here. It was a quick train ride to Nyhavn and Tivoli! Beautiful seaside hotel!

This is what the annual dining week tradition - 200 DKK for a three-course meal - in Copenhagen…read moreshould be about. The meals weren't huge, but they were great and gave a good insight into what else you can expect to be served at the restaurant outside of dining week. Cozy place, very friendly and professional staff and good food.

The Canal Tours trip was better. But they ARE different and both are included on the Copenhagen…read moreCard! I had a full week in Copenhagen. The city is full of canals. I like being on the water. Put me on a boat so I can explore the city while also sitting for an hour or so and I am happy gal. So on my next-to-last day in the city, needing to kill a little time before a museum opened up, and wanting to rest my feet for a spell...I hopped on a Netto boat tour. Also...because I had already done the other boat tour included with the Copenhagen Card. The boats are a little dingier and dirtier than some other tour companies. And they pack the boats full. You may not have much personal space on a busy day. But you get a full circle tour of the city from the water and you get to be on a boat for an hour. So...*shrug* So I stand by the Canal Tours being much better. But I think as long as you get to do a boat tour during your time in town, any one will do.

"Look ma, I'm on a boat!"…read more No, it's not that kinda boat, but it serves its purpose and floating along Copenhagen's canals on a clear, crisp day is really romantic. SIGH. It's so romantic, we decided to kiss every time the boat goes under the bridge. And people! there are MANY bridges on this tour, over 20 in fact, but who's counting? If you're not a romantic, the practical purpose of this tour is to catch your bearings. Whenever I'm somewhere new, I always opt for the best mode of transportation to see the city. And here, it's best seen on the water. You'll pass the famous Little Mermaid, the impressive Opera House, the upscale Christianshavn neighborhood, Vor Freslers Kirke, etc. The tour lasts about 60 minutes and costs 60 Dkk (that's only $10!) and it's the best tour given in Danish and English. Don't go to the DFS company, they charge twice as much for the same exact tour.

The cabins are very cute!! They are complete with 2 bedrooms, a couch, dining table, kitchen, private bathroom, and patio!! There are lots of windows so it's very light inside. The front desk staff are very helpful and there is lots of tourist information at the office. Wifi is not free, but the signal is good just about anywhere on the property. Should my travels take me to Copenhagen again, I would definitely stay here again.
