A Guide to 48 (ish) Hours in Copenhagen

A Guide to 48 (ish) Hours in Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen was a city which promised much, but failed to deliver on a number of accounts. HOWEVER. Many other people have been to the city and had a fab time, so just because we didn鈥檛 love it doesn鈥檛 mean you can鈥檛 visit and form your own opinions. Here鈥檚 how to get the most out of 48(ish) hours in this Scandinavian capital city.

One of the best ways to see Copenhagen is from the water. Jump on one of the tours from Nyhavn or Holmenskirke, and spend an hour floating through the waterways, hopefully picking up lots of interesting tidbits about the history and layout of the city as you go. We used Netto-B氓dene; their partially covered, glass-topped boats take you past some of Copenhagen鈥檚 most famous sights, including the Opera House, Little Mermaid (or at least, the back of the Little Mermaid), Amalienborg Palace, the 鈥淏lack Diamond鈥� and various church spires

I鈥檓 a big fan of a city walking tour, even more so when it鈥檚 free. And in a city as pricey as Copenhagen, free counts. A lot. Departing daily at 11am and 2pm from outside City Hall, this three-hour tour takes in many of Copenhagen鈥檚 famous landmarks. The tours vary according to your guide, who are a diverse mix of Scandinavians and ex-pats. We follow our English guide and her yellow umbrella from City Hall to Christiansborg Slot to Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn, to the waterfront before finishing off at Amalienborg Palace. Wear comfy shoes and wrap up warm! Oh, and please do tip if you enjoy the tour 鈥� it鈥檚 not compulsory but it鈥檚 definitely nice to reward the person that鈥檚 just spent three hours trying to keep an unruly crowd of multi-national tourists engaged. ......
