Copenhagen

Pros: Very cosmopolitan, Denmark's capital is also its cultural center. Diverse and interesting architecture!
Cons: A little too much concrete. Very expensive!

Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, is about as diverse as it gets and offers the visitor a curious mix of modern architecture, stately Renaissance castles, and old medieval houses dating back to the city's mid-12th century origin. Add to that some colorful ...

Pros: a fascinating, alternative community
Cons: will be too off cuff for some

If you ever get a chance to go to Copenhagen, it might be an interesting side trip to pay a visit to Christiana. This little section of Copenhagen is pure culture shock for most Americans. Christiana is a section of abandoned warehouses and...

Pros: Great people, great beer, great nightlife.
Cons: Scandinavian expense, forgettable food

Flew into København on Maersk Air who were quite a tolerable airline. Copenhagen has a wonderful train link that gets you right into the heart of the city. We stayed at the Hotel Kong Arthur which is a lovely 4* establishment. The rooms were spacious, ...

Pros: Beautiful scenery and wonderful people!
Cons: The weather can be a bit windy and wet, but by no means unbearable.

For almost 2 years, I had the pleasure of working with Danes via email and telephone. Finally, my work sent me to København for 2 weeks, on 2 separate occasions.

While in the military, I had lived in Germany for 2 years, traveled through some...

Pros: delightful Danes; unique restaurants and bars; the right hotel provides lots to do within walking distance
Cons: may bankrupt you

I first went to Copenhagen on a business trip in 1989. At the end of that visit, I remarked to a colleague, “I could live here.” In the years since, I have spent about a fifth of my time on the road, including a dozen more short visits to Copenhagen....

Pros: beautiful, easy to get around, lots to do
Cons: none

Copenhagen is both the largest city and capital of Denmark, a small country of 5.2 million people in Scandinavia. Greater Copenhagen has a population of about 1.5 million people. The city is located on the Danish island of Sealand (Zeeland) just across...

Pros: people
Cons: language

The capital of Denmark and a nice city to visit.
I went there a few years ago – and didn’t have the opportunity to take the car over the new bridge from Sweden to Denmark.
I don’t complain about it - I took the ferry and that was nice too.
...

Pros: Friendly.. awesome sights
Cons: amount of people

Back in 1983 our family in the USA had a foreign exchange student from Denmark. His name was Peter Jensen and he stayed with us for a year. I have to admit it wasn't always nice to have a stranger in our mist and we had to adjust to him and him to us....

Pros: Friendly City, Wonderful Museums, Architecture
Cons: None

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

The last time we were in Wonderful Copenhagen, we enjoyed the food, people, and the arts.

The following are some of Copenhagen's most interesting museums: In 1838 the Danish...

Pros: One of a kind experience, friendly, interesting
Cons: Never can stay long enough

Copenhagen has always been one of my favorite cities. It is the main city of Denmark and anchored between Germany and Scandinavia it has inherited parts of both cultures, or rather you can see the transition between the cultures there.

...

Pros: great sights and attractions, great shopping and great atmosphere
Cons: A bit expensive

I grew up in Denmark and I have therefore been to Copenhagen on numerous occasion, of which the last time was in July of 2005 when I spent a week in Copenhagen together with my husband and my three-year-old son. Copenhagen is a magical city that has ...

Pros: Copenhagen is ideal for walking and bike riding; a modern city of old world sights
Cons: Food is amazingly expensive (as in all of Scandinavia). Pickpockets abound.

Let me start by saying: I adore Copenhagen. In my youth my best friend was Danish and her mom taught me the joy of aebleskivers (a pancake type food shaped like a tennis ball). When I first visited Copenhagen I was on an aebleskiver quest -- and I was ...

Pros: A relaxed atmosphere, easy day trip to Sweden
Cons: Generally cloudy

I visited Copenhagen during my last Spring Break because a friend was studying abroad there, meaning I'd have a free place to stay. Not knowing what to expect of Scandanavia, I came away pleasantly surprised by what the city had to offer.

...

Pros: Little big city. Copenhagen has a long history, and much of it is well-preserved. English is spoken everywhere, and Americans/British are welcomed and emulated. The dollar goes a long way.
Cons: My visit was too short to find any negatives, although I saw some hard-core drug abusers hanging around. Car rental was problematic, but calling ahead would probably save you that trouble.

I drove across Denmark to spend an evening in Copenhagen, and the trip was well worth it. Renting a car on short notice in Denmark was tricky, though. The only place we could find was based in a gas station (that sold everything from groceries to...

Pros: Beautiful, unique art; large collection
Cons: A little off the beaten path, no English signage

Scandinavia doesn't get much column space in the standard art history books. Unfortunately, art historians share the bias of historians in general who act as if nothing of value ever happened in Scandinavia. Through my study of Swedish and Danish,...
