For a unique experience while in Copenhagen, book the Cisternerne exhibit boat tour. Here's why:…read more 1) History; First of all, the Cisternerne has an interesting history. Built in the middle of the 19th century, this underground reservoir once supplied the entire city with drinking water. Once abandoned, the space is now an exhibition space. 2) Art: My friend and I went when Tomás Saraceno did his "Event Horizon" exhibit. Rowing a little boat through the exhibit, you're asked to remain silent and be present as you go through the water. You'll pass art that creates light and sound adding to the space's darkness. It's so unique! 3) Location: It's right next to the Frederiksberg Palace, a yellow 1735 palace with gardens that are popular with walkers and runners. Take time before or after the Cisternerne to explore the area. If you go, note that rowing is at your own pace. They recommend 40 minutes, but once you reach the end, you're done! My friend and I felt like we were rowing slowly, but it only took us 20 minutes. We felt like we didn't get the full experience. We wished we had stopped at more spots to sit and enjoy the exhibit.

There are no words to truly put this exhibit into perspective. The current exhibit is truly…read moresurreal, and honestly, quite humbling. We went in with a level of excitement but as soon as we made it underground, and away from the light of the entrance, the mood changed and we were completely immersed within another time and dimension. While the architecture and history alone make the space worth visiting, the current exhibit pulls out from within you, emotions and awareness you may not have ever harnessed. It is truly, truly, something you must see! I had researched the Cisternerne for quite some time prior to our trip, and it lined up perfectly with our morning at the zoo, as it was right across the street. The park above the exhibit is absolutely beautiful, and lends no insight to what lies below it.

De gange jeg har været der har personalet været søde og professionelle. Sidst jeg var der havde de et event ifbm. filmen HYGGE. Der var et interview/oplæg på ca. et kvarter fra en kvinde som har specialiseret sig i at lave samtalekort som kan bruges til at få dybere og bedre emner på bordet når vi hygger derhjemme eller med venner. Ikke bare var filmen fantastisk og fik mig til at grine igen og igen. Vi fik også allesammen en gave med hjem hvilket var ret flot. Tak for en skøn aften. Vi kommer gerne igen.

So they basically sold twice the amount of seats available in a room. With my friends we realized we were double booked. Anyway they handled the situation in a remarkable way ! They opened a second room so we could all see the movie and knit, they offered us free a free drink or popcorn...and they waited for everyone to be in the room to start the movie. Because of that double booking it took quite some time to solve the problem and they waited for us. What kind of cinema waits for its customers to start a movie. This was an example of customer service.

We went to Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek a few weeks ago during our three-day trip to Copenhagen, largely…read morebecause it was free and directly across the street from our hotel. I'm glad this museum was so easy to visit, because it was tremendously lovely and we might not have bothered if it were at all out of our way. Tuesdays are free days at Ny Carlsberg, so we dropped in at 11:30 and went through in about an hour and a half. We could've stayed longer--and might have, if we were paying--but this was enough time for us to loop through and see everything. The museum is built on the personal collection of Carl Jacobsen, whose father founded the Carlsberg Breweries. (Jacobsen died over a century ago, so I imagine the collection has changed somewhat since then.) I guess the dude had a lot of antiquities and sculptures, because that's what makes up the majority of the collection. There were whole rooms full of ancient naked people, sculpted from bronze and marble. (One thing I learned--almost all of the men lose their dicks over the years, even if they hold onto everything else.) There were several incredible Rodins, as well as a special exhibit of Degas figures, and a ton of Greek and Roman sculpture. On the lowest level, in what felt like a cool, dark crypt, were several Egyptian mummies, along with their various mummy things, like their tomb bits and creepy-ass painted masks. The museum had some impressive paintings, too--I enjoyed the robust collection of work from the Danish Golden Age. I also just loved the building, a beautiful place, with the wings of the museum built around a gorgeous garden, rich with greenery and sculpture. If we'd had more time, it would have been nice to sit there a while and enjoy lunch in the café. I'd highly recommend a visit to Ny Carlsberg, especially if you happen to be in Copenhagen on a Tuesday. It's a remarkable museum with a splendid collection and lovely grounds. Well worth a couple hours of your time.

In the interior of the castle, visitors may see Christian IV's bedchamber and other rooms, the Treasury with the Danish crown jewels, etcetera. I unfortunately did not have tickets to tour the inside of the castle, but based on online photos, I really wish that I had bought tickets so I could see the historic, fancy rooms. I did, however, spend much time walking around the exterior of the castle. The architecture looked gorgeous. Then I walked through the garden, for which I wrote a separate Yelp review, and then I saw the moat with fish and the drawbridge leading to the castle. I recommend that tourists visit this castle.

I love the focus on local artists and the large selection of styles. I like that it's has both relatively affordable items (A4 poster prints are 90kr) and expensive originals. The shop assistants are super friendly and helpful, and will find specific posters or different sizes for you. If you're in the shop, it's easiest to browse the two little "file boxes" of A4 posters. Many of the posters come in larger than A4 sizes, but it's just easiest to browse through the A4 size. Price for posters is by size, and you can also frames at the shop. Their website is great, and probably the easiest way to view their selection.

Empire is a favourite among lot's of movie fans in Copenhagen. The vipe of the theater is very laid back, and beside the normal candy, pop corn and soda, you can buy beer, and bubbles for your movie. The seats are nice, soft, and comfortable. The rear row are double seats, so you can site VERY close to your date (blink blink). Sound and screens are great. They feature main stream movies here. Remember we don't normal dub movies in Denmark, so tourists, and expats can catch a movie in the original language. I nearly gave Empire 3 stars, because of the cleaning standard at the toilets. It looks like, they have forgotten to vipe of the toilet bowl, and sinks for months.

Perhaps I don't frequent movie…read moretheaters enough to experience their evolution, but this is the only theater I've been to where you can order coffee and beer. Seats are comfortable, both theaters I've been in were really clean (none of the quintessential shoe-sticking that happens in other theaters), and a large amount of room in the aisles (good if you're a bit personal bubbly like me). Two quirks, at least coming from my experience in American theaters and in the two theaters I've been in at this place: 1) There is only one set of stairs in the theater, meaning you're better off choosing seats closer to the one set of stairs, unless you really like getting to movies early or climbing over everyone to get to your seats at the very end of the row. 2) The projector is situated so that if people in the back row are standing up, they can completely block the projected image. It hasn't been an issue in the films I've been to, but nothing can take you out of a movie like a shadow of a fellow movie goer.

Copenhagen City Hall is conveniently located in the Town Square. In and around the centrally…read moreappointed building, you'll find many activities and sights. Many tour groups meet just outside the steps of City Hall and to the right of the building sits the picturesque Hans Christian Andersen statue. The main hall is beautifully decorated with Denmark's flags. Sometimes you'll catch recently married bride and grooms snapping shots around the halls. When visiting Copenhagen, be sure not to miss the City Hall Tower. Climb 300 steps above the sidewalk to get a magnificent view of the mostly flat city. From the tower you'll be able to see the port, twirling Tivoli rides and the far reaches of the surrounding suburbs. On windy days, be sure to check if the tower is open. Strong winds and gusts can close down this popular sightseeing spot like it did for two consecutive days before our visit. Tours to the tower are given Monday to Friday at 11:00 and 14:00 and Saturdays at 12:00. You can grab a ticket for 20 DKK from the office to the left of the main entrance. You'll need this ticket before you start the climb. There's no elevator and this is not disability friendly, so be ready to walk up all the stairs to the tower and wear appropriate shoes.

Our tour guide suggested that we have a look inside while we wait. It ended up being a nice cultural experience. It's open to the public in the daytime. On a Saturday morning, we saw a bride in her wedding gown having photos taken for her big day in the grand public courtyard. The sunlight was shining through the vaulted skylight ceiling above us. It's a warm & welcoming place for all to see. There are danish flags surrounding the hall as well as one from Greenland and another from the Faroe Islands. You'll see the other flags directly across from the entrance. There are a lot of artful details such as patterns & colors in the marble flooring and the mosaics of Nordic birds lining the inside of the arches. The soapstone lion basins provide relaxing sounds of flowing water while walking through the hall. There's a lot of cool things to see such as the clock tower and Jen Olsen's World Clock if you have more time. It's a 300 step climb up to the tower where you can get views of the city and Tivoli Gardens. It may be worth the small fee to book the tower as well as a tour of City Hall. We didn't get to see it all. There are a few things that I saw worth mentioning. The stained glass Coat of Arms, the Art Nouveau stone mural above the city council's chamber door, and the gold gilded statue of Bishop Absalon (the Founder of Copenhagen) tell you right away that this building was built with the Nordic culture and its people in mind. The phrase "Saa er by som borger" is there for all to see. It's what Martin Nyrop envisioned it to be in his architecture. It's totally worth a visit for the architecture alone. I'd love to go back to see the inner courtyard garden one day. Also, make sure you look up closely at the top of the building while you're walking around Rådhuspladsen. There are some unique sculptures that will draw you in.

It's like they asked the interior decorator not to include atmosphere of any kind. And when the decorator went downstairs, they were very adamant on keeping the extremely depressing basement. As if they thought it's better to have suicidal thoughts when partying (the parties are always down here) than to enjoy the DJ playing old Depeche Mode.
