Find the perfect vacation home in Copenhagen

I had a wonderful time in Copenhagen. The highlight for me was Rosenborg Palace, a beautiful building with a lot of character. I was also able to admire a great exhibition at the Design Museum. In general, I can say that Copenhagen has many beautiful sights and some inviting restaurants. I can recommend a stay or vacation.

Rosenborg Castle is an impressive building.

Visiting the Design Museum was a fantastic experience.

Many possibilities

Overall a solid travel experience. Bike friendly, very well connected with public transportation, diverse selection of restaurants and cafes. Lots of free WLAN. The supermarkets discount almost everything from 8pm. So you can also save a few euros. I would avoid the expensive tourist places.

I was in Sydhavn, a super hip district with lots of small cafés. We also went to Tivoli and Nørrebro. Very chic, but both crowded and quite overpriced. Before the airport, the penultimate stop on the metro is a beautiful beach with a view of Malmö (Sweden)

The beach, Amager Strand. Beautiful view of Sweden and the Øresund Bridge. Sydhavn with its lovely little cafés.

For a relaxed city trip, ideally in summer - explore by bike.

Copenhagen is an architecturally exciting city. There are modern districts like Sydhavn, but they also feature old bridges and buildings that reminded me of Amsterdam. The old town is known for its colorful houses on the harbor promenade, which remind me more of Norway. And the free city of Christiana is as alternative as Berlin-Kreuzberg! At the same time, there are plenty of opportunities to get into the water, be it on the beach by the sea or in the urban bathing bays by the canal. We also visited many gardens and green spaces. There are so many facets to Copenhagen! The best way to get around is by bike, which you can hire from dedicated bike rental companies at a reasonably fair price. This is the quickest way to get around the city and also to get to the sea. The prices for food are exorbitant. That's why we made use of the breakfast in our hostel and the small kitchen on offer for our evening meal - we bought food in supermarkets. This kept our vacation affordable. Next time, we would research in advance when the changing of the guard at the palace takes place, as we only happened to see the end of it.

If the water temperatures allow, it is worth swimming in the canal. There are several swimming areas for this. The beach on the Öresund is also worth a visit. An absolute must is a visit to the old town with its colorful houses and a detour to the Little Mermaid. The free city of Christiana, which is very alternative, is also interesting.

The best way to get around Copenhagen is by bike. Rental is usually quite expensive, but there are dedicated bike rental shops at attractive prices. The City Hall Tower can be visited free of charge, highly recommended!

Copenhagen is an architecturally exciting city that offers many water areas and diverse neighborhoods to linger in.

I was in Copenhagen with my girlfriend in June. The city offers something for everyone (culture, parks, urban lifestyle, cycling). The train transfer from the airport to the city is inexpensive. Once we were there, we got around on foot or with a rental bike to test out the constantly praised cycling infrastructure. The burger chain "Max" offers a large vegetarian selection. It's also easy to find other places to eat!

The highlight for me was simply strolling around the city. The old town with Christiansborg (where the political series Borgen is set) offers a lot to discover. You can also take a lovely stroll along the canals. And last but not least, the city offers many vegetarian culinary highlights!

Check in advance on which days museums offer free admission (e.g. city museum). You can save a lot this way!

Copenhagen offers an ideal introduction to the Scandinavian way of life.
