I don't claim this the most beautiful place in the city, but it's nice to pass through.

I intentionally planned my 2 days in Denmark around this area, with my hotel and the sites I wanted to visit within walking distance. The current station building opened in 1911, with a major overhaul in 1980 including elevators, escalators and a new station concourse. It has 7 platforms and 13 tracks, making it the largest train station in Denmark. With 100,000 travelers per day, it is the second busiest in the country. Getting to it from the airport required taking the M2 line, transferring at Kongens Nytorv to the either the M3 or M4 line to get here. The journey took a little over 30 minutes, and the trains were relatively crowded on both the inbound and outbound. The cost was (30,00 DKK - $4.69 USD converted) for the one way. There are no gates of any sort, and I didn't see any security doing ticket checks. Read on-line that fines could be substantial. Since the trains to the airport run so frequently, didn't have a chance to admire/partake of the station. On my next longer visit, will linger a bit more.

This mainline and S-train station is located north of the main København city core. I was here…read morebecause it was the closest station to the famed Mermaid statue though I still ended up walking a good bit. I really should have just rented one of those dockless bikes, but that's neither here nor there. The station has decent signage and with the Google Maps app, I was able to work out how to get to where I needed to go. The return back to downtown and the Central station was easy enough, though this is a decently large station with 5 separate platforms and 8 tracks. It is handicapped accessible. There are ticketing kiosks and plenty of places to wave your contactless card in order to check-in and check-out. On the S-train lines, this station is between Nørreport and Nordhavn.

I'm going to post this review under Østerport Station because it exemplifies the problems we had…read morewith DOT -- the Danish Public Transport System. First let me say that between trains, commuter trains (S-tog), Metro and buses, Copenhagen has a system that would be the envy of any city in the US. My complaint is the lack of information about which train to take from which track. We -- and a bunch of other tourists trying to get Humlebæk to visit the Louisiana Museum of Art -- must have spent 30 minutes at Østerport trying to figure out which s-tog to take to Hellerup to get the "train-bus" to Humlebæk. Real people with real information were few and far between. We had the DOT app, but as for which train on which track, forget it. We looked for someone at Østerport Station who might be an employee of DOT, but to no avail. I finally called the help number, went through the option tree and got a real person who told me which train to catch. Now I contrast this with Stockholm where the train stations had young people wearing yellow vests directing people from train to subway to the correct transport on the correct track. Dear DOT, I'm sure that people who use the system daily know how to get around the system. But visitors like me were simply confounded.

My wife and I took the 60 minute harbor tour on what turned out to be a National Holiday. There was…read morequite a line to board the 245pm tour on this Thursday but the boat swallowed us all up with room to spare. I think they said it can hold 120. There are several tour options here but reviews being good plus the best price we could find made it an easy choice. The tour was pleasant and our guide competently spoke in three different languages describing the sights. First stop was the little mermaid statue that we got to see from the back side. Then we wound through some narrow passages and low bridges before ending up down by the Christiansborg Palace and then back to the start. The boat rides close to the water (to get under those low bridges) and some folks got a little wet sitting by the edge. If it's a sunny day, the boat provides no shade so bring a hat or at least a refreshing beverage. Round trip was right at 60 minutes and worth it.

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.

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.

The Clarion Hotel Malmö Live is a modern, high-rise hotel that opened in 2015 as part of the Malmö…read moreLive complex, which also includes a concert hall (home to the Malmö Symphony Orchestra) and a conference center. Its central location places you within easy walking distance of Malmö's city center, the historic castle, and even Ribersborg Beach (about 20 minutes away). The hotel's spacious rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows with impressive city views, comfortable beds, a safe, a mini-fridge, and excellent air conditioning. However, the large glass surfaces mean the curtains provide only limited blackout. As a large hotel, expect longer walking distances between rooms and amenities, and occasional elevator wait times during peak hours. The gym is well-equipped with cardio machines and free weights, though it lacks traditional resistance equipment. The breakfast is extensive and high-quality, with a barista and omelet station--though both can have wait times during busy periods. Hot beverages may also experience delays if machines need refilling or cleaning. As a couple on a city trip, we found the hotel to offer good value for money--not cheap, but well worth the price for the quality and location. We can highly recommend it for travelers looking for a comfortable, central base in Malmö.

They are located on the 25th floor with separated bar and restaurant. We ordered some beer (Eriksberg Karaktar) and Mock cocktails which were enjoyed by all. Limited draft beer options with a few more bottle options but they make up for it with cocktails. As expected, given the amazing views of Malmo, prices are steep and to be expected. I was pleasantly surprised they weren't crowded given the sunny day. Service was friendly and had the usual Bartender drink creation theatrics. There is a second Sky Bar (which I would recommend) in Hyllie also with a view but, after today, this is the one for the best Malmo sunset views.

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.
