First thing: Yes, the prices are a bit hefty. But on the other hand you'll get a super-modern and…read moresafe parking lot right in the middle of all the action in Copenhagen. Driving through town to get here was easier than expected and there was plenty of room left (around 10am). The parking system takes a pic of your car and its licence plate. You have to confirm your car on the parking machine inside (an "English" option IS available). Then just stay as long as you want. Fees were about 8-10 Euros an hour. Just do not forget to "sign out" your car before leaving and paying the fee (if not there's a hefty fine waiting). Since we knew the hourly fees before we arrived, we weren't shocked about the prices and were happy with our choice. Location is perfect and the safety is as well (there were many Porsches, Maseratis etc. parked here). A great place if you wanna safe some time and drive right into the center of Copenhagen.

Great place to visit in Copenhagen, even if you don't do a boat tour. The vibrant color of the…read morehouses looks like something out of a fairytale. We decided to do a boat tour, which was very nice. Not only do y out get to see the sights of Copenhagen from the water, the guides will teach you the history of their city. Cool visit, would recommend doing a boat tour as well!

Nyhavn is a waterfront district that was built in the late 1600s. In the 1800s the author Hans…read moreChristian Andersen lived here. Today Nyhavn is a major tourist destination for its colorful houses, boat tours along the canal, historic ships, and dining in restaurants. My husband and I briefly visited Nyhavn when we were on vacation. I enjoyed seeing the historic houses and boats along the water. If I had had more time, I bet that a boat ride and a restaurant meal would have been lovely.

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.

This is a truly strange tourist attraction. And, I use that term,"Tourist Attraction," lightly…read more It is said that this place is the home to many of those who live an alternative lifestyle in Copenhagen. They claim that this area is completely beyond the rules and the laws of Copenhagen. In some ways, that is pretty easy to see as the main street is lined with people selling weed and hash, which is still illegal in Denmark. Copenhagen is not Amsterdam. Though a bit sketchy, this city within a city is very well maintained. I am sure there is some other story going on here. ...One that we will never know. This being said, what you will find here is some of the best street art and graffiti that you will witness anywhere across Copenhagen. Of course, it is clearly stated all over the place, "No Photos." But, I'm guess that is more to keep the people dealing drugs safe and off the radar than anything else. One of the funny/interesting things I find about this location is that tour buses actually pull up to it. I don't know, maybe it's just me me, but if you are truly embracing an alternative lifestyle that all seems rather intrusive. Nonetheless, this is an interesting place. Even if all you do is look at the great street art, it is worth the visit.

And the walk along the charming Larsens Plads is quite a good one. Along the waterfront with nice schooners and other boats and ships. Have a quick stop at the picturesque Amaliehaven Garden before passing the famous Kastellet with its nice park area. It's a good walk and also easy accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. A great way to get to the Kastellet and the Little Mermaid.

In the middle of the square you find the ruins of a old watch towers. It's one of the only remaining elements of the medieval Copenhagen. The town was a part of the fortification of Copenhagen, and was built in the 1500s. The square have more parking places for cars than bicycles. I don't know about an other square in Copenhagen, where the municipality of Copenhagen take cars more into account than bikes. The square have a lot of heavy traffic because of two traffic intersection. Skaters use a part of the spuare. On a sunny day you often can watch them doing their tricks. It's not the most welcoming place in Copenhagen, you have go and have a look at the ruins.

You just can't leave Copenhagen without seeing her. Some may find the size of it disappointing. It's only 4 feet tall. The rock it sits on makes it appear a little bit taller. What's cool is that there is a small stairway off to the side so that you can get up close to it. There were kids climbing up on the rocks to take a picture with the mermaid. We walked over to it from Amalienborg Castle where our walking tour ended. It was an easy walk. Just take the pathway over the bridge past the Gefion Fountain. It will lead you to the statue with beautiful views of the Copenhagen Harbour. It's totally worth the walk. It's a symbol of Denmark that shouldn't be missed.

At this statue, a tour bus dropped off and picked up my husband and me. We spent just about one minute taking photos of it. Other tourists were walking up to it and posing. The sculpture looks nice, but it is small/life-sized and quick to look at.

Wow!!! Rundetaarn is on the Top Ten must see list when in Copenhagen. What makes " Round Tower" so…read morespecial and intriguing? I'm glad you asked... With its distinctive spiral ramp, the Round Tower has become a Danish landmark. Here are some notable facts and points of interest: 1.The Hollow Core: the shape of the tower was Denmark's geographical zero point. 2. There is an Observatory which houses a telescope built in 1929. 3. The Library Hall is used for changing exhibits, cultural events and concerts 4. The Spiral Ramp will get you to 10,000 steps easily; it is the only way to the top of the tower and spins 7 1/2 times around the Tower's hollow core. Believe me, you feel those twists as you climb. 5. The Bell Loft is situated above the Library Hall and two floors above the Trinity Church where the bells have rung for hundreds of years. 6. The Platform: once you climb the narrow stairs you are atop and can see all of Copenhagen's charms and Sweden. During the summer there is a kiosk that sells sweet treats 7.
