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.

Honestly, this place is really quite & there is nothing much going around. There is a small 7…read moreEleven at the station & there is a computer city & a super market right opposite to the station. With above there are a kiosk available as well, but it seems like a small & deserted station. There is quite a bit of construction work ongoing in & around, so in assuming there might be some improvements, but will need to update my review when it is completed

I am always impressed with the Metro in Europe. In fact, I believe when I visited Amsterdam many…read moreyears ago, they had plasma screens announcing track and time info. The Metros run smarter, efficient and the subways are spotless! The majority of stations I visited all had elevator access and escalators. ( New York, are you there?) Here are some highlights: 1. Easy to use, 4 lines M1.M2.M3.M4 2. Inspectors/DSB on train asking you for your ticket to prevent fare invasion 3. Public restrooms clean and maintained. Some are free, some you pay which makes sense. Citizens who want a restroom, imo, contribute to keep it sparkling 4. Rules: Copenhagen is a bike city, thus, there are train rules; no bikes on train between 7am-9am. If you ride with bike there are bike cars and you buy a bike metro ticket ( New York, still there) 5. Ticket machines where you can buy different fare options and kiosks to check in 6. Korbenhaven H or aka Central station; so commuter friendly! All I can say is tak ( thank you) to Copenhagen for making my trip so easy to get around!

Very impressed with this Metro system and daresay it might be one of the best in the world. I've…read morealso used public transit in Tokyo, Taipei, Berlin & Brussels and those were great too. The British Tube, NYC subways and BART/MUNI have a lot to aspire to when it comes to Metro systems. The Danes know how to get it done right. The Metro here runs on time, and no drivers for the trains, which is pretty neat. Every station has digitized schedules so you know when the trains are running. And they are on time. You can either buy one trip tickets or look at options for 12 hours or longer. And you can also get a City Pass which gives you access to the metro and buses up to 120 hours. Just check on the DSB website for your needs and the system is self explanatory. What I love about Denmark is that while everyone usually speaks Danish, there is always an English option. Every single website I went to related to my Denmark travels had an English option. That's pretty amazing. The one important thing to note is that while you can't really scan your passes to get into the metro, don't be fooled to think that DSB authorities are not checking fares. I traveled to the airport a few times and a few times, attendants were strictly checking fare. In fact, my train ride for the last time to CPH airport, my fare was checked twice. I read some other reviews written here and if you don't have proper fare, you will get a fine for hundreds in DKKs, so totally not worth taking a risk at all. The trains are very clean, well run, stations also clean and signage/schedule are all easily understandable. This is the gold standard when it comes to Metro systems.

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.

Christianborg Palace is unique in that actually houses rooms that are used by the monarchy, the…read moreSupreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Parliament. For the purposes of tourists, only the royal section related to the monarchy is open for exploration. The ticket that you purchase depends on how many parts of the royal section you wish to visit: 1) Reception room - where the Queens holds meetings 2) Royal Stables - where the horses and carriages are held 3) Royal Kitchen - where the meals are prepared 4) Ruins - the ruins underneath the castle If you have more time, you can see all of them. For me, the best part was easily the Reception area, where you will see many rooms constructed with very colorful and exquisite architecture and filled with luxurious paintings, furniture, and tapestries. This area is so fancy they actually make all visitors wear blue shoe covers to protect the floors. It is also worth it to go up the tower (free entry) where you get amazing views of the city.

Christiansborg Palace is actually pretty wild -- it's the only place in the world where the government, the prime minister, and the Supreme Court all work in the same building. And under it, there are literal castle ruins from like the 1100s that you can walk through. Plus, the Danish royal family still uses parts of it for fancy events, so it's kind of like government offices + ancient history + royalty all stacked in one spot. Funny story. There's this extremely long dining table (see pics). You're not supposed to sit there but the tour guide said a family sat there to eat lunch one time.
