Full review

I first travelled to Copenhagen in June of 2001. I think I have been Back 20 times since. It is 1 hour and 40 minutes from manchester, 1 hour 50 minutes from Birmingham. Flights are regular, 4 times a day minimum.

The Airport at copenhagen is very good, with facilities for everything. Just watch out for the scooters and the golf buggies.

A 20 minute bus ride (250 S) takes you to the centre of copenhagen (station, radhusplasen (sp is wrong i think) and Tivoli. Hotels can be booked on the the net.

Crime is very low, I think that it is officially the safest city in Europe..

beer is expensive.

the people are very friendly and more than 80% speak english.

Sights to see:

the old harbour (H C Anderson's house)
the boat tour from the old harbour (summer months only)
the round tower and cathedral
the walking street Lois Vuitton is next to Accessorize (very good shops)
Tivoli - small version of alton towers in the centre of town.
Christiania - a 1960's hippy commune, that is the centre of copenhagens new wave culture. Very interesting, but cameras are banned!
the mermaid - as it says on the tin..
Statens Museum for Kunst (state art gallery)

Tastes to try

Breakfast Bread
Smorbrod (sp)
Carlsberg (very different from what we get over here)
Tuborg

Just go. it is one of those place you have to try. words could not describe it this christmas, it was so beautiful.
