Copenhagen Corner, Copenhagen

Advantages: Relaxed and lovely
Disadvantages: Expensive and not a huge amount to do

...on SAS. Flight times are a little under two hours so budget airlines are clearly an option. There is a regular train running from the airport to Copenhagen's Central Station, leaving every 15 minutes. The journey time is just over ten minutes and costs 30DK per person. The trains are predictably clean and punctual; they are also spacious so you'll have plenty of room for your baggage. This is a ridiculously easy transfer and you'd want a very good reason to take a taxi instead. Getting around ~ The centre of Copenhagen is relatively small and easy to navigate.

...Last New Year my partner and I fancied getting away and decided to book ourselves a last minute short City break over the New Year period. As we booked last minute there wasn't an excess of choice and that is how we ended up choosing Copenhagen as our eventual destination. FIRST A BIT OF BACKGROUND. *********************************** Copenhagen began as a small fishing village and rose to become the Capital City of Denmark, in Northern Europe. It is the largest City in Scandinavia with a population of about 1.7 million and is situated on the island of Zealand. The main language spoken is Danish although most of the Danes speak English.
