Just booked a little city break to Copenhagen 😍 end of Feb half term (teacher husband...)

Who's been? Any tips?

Comments

Agree, the Little Mermaid is barely worth it.
As time is short would recommend the boat tour.
It’s a great city for wandering so you’ll have a super time without the need to over plan.

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Amazing thank you! Love a good wander round a city we've not been to before 🥰

positivelad.me•45 days ago

Check out the white hot chocolate. 🤤

matthewhodson.bsky.social•45 days ago

@deborahgold.bsky.social would call you out on this! 😂

deborahgold.bsky.social•43 days ago

Ha! So right. White hot chocolate (or white chocolate of any temperature) is a travesty to all that is good and right in the world!

matthewhodson.bsky.social•43 days ago

😂

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh interesting, not generally a white chocolate person but I'll give it a go!

weavinweave.bsky.social•45 days ago

Loved it!

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Great! Now the tips 😂

lknguy76.bsky.social•45 days ago

Love Copenhagen! Will be back later in the year.
Definitely have dinner and drinks at Llama. 😋Everything is wonderful.
Also, be sure to take a boat cruise through the canals.

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fab! Thank you!

lknguy76.bsky.social•45 days ago

You’re welcome! Llama has a delicious Smoked Peach Margarita. Highly recommend.

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Ooft

cowboycartash.bsky.social•44 days ago

Omg love! Top tip don’t go to Wagamama there it’s very expensive hahah

malgm.bsky.social•45 days ago

Take lots of money. It’s expensive! 😅

Also, get the train to Malmö in Sweden if you can. It’s only 30 mins away.

ads302.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh yes! Definitely do this! There's loads of trains and the bridge is really cool!

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Malmö is on the list for another trip!

And yes I've made my peace with the costs 😂

malgm.bsky.social•45 days ago

Tivoli Gardens is great if you like theme parks. We spent the whole day there and you can come in and out.

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Ah interesting, will give it a look

malgm.bsky.social•45 days ago

Also, Christiana is interesting to have a walk around.

lknguy76.bsky.social•45 days ago

Very interesting… haha!

slhutch1980.bsky.social•45 days ago

Been a while since I've been there but for bars:
Oscars was good for food and cocktails to start the night
Jailhouse is there version of eagle
Nevermind is your dance club opening at midnight to 6am

slhutch1980.bsky.social•45 days ago

Just had to Google cause couldn't remember the name but centre stage was a blast, very speakeasy set with cocktails and cool vide . We had loads of fun there

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fab tips thank you!

slhutch1980.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fyi Copenhagen also has Sunday trading laws so loads of shops and museums are closed, so take that into account when planning

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh good tip. We're there most of the day on Sunday so v worth knowing

goldengaytime.bsky.social•45 days ago

Might of might not be worth it. We found it nice in the sense that some of the stuff we never would’ve thought of turned out to be amazing and that when something was… not so great… you didn’t feel like you wasted money.

The Copenhagen card does transport too so that's a plus. The all electric yellow river bus is a handy link. Was lovely by the water when we went but maybe not in Feb. We went to Lund rather than Malmö on the train as it's more of a historic town. Only 1 more stop. Have fun

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yes think it'll be cold...!

nickrh14.bsky.social•45 days ago

We enjoyed our visits. Did it all on the plastic too, no need for local currency. Lots of itineraries online for specific numbers of days and plenty of museums/towers to climb for views. The orange hire bikes were a good find but there are a lot of cyclists so you need to know where you are going

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yes bikes in cities scare me...!

nickrh14.bsky.social•45 days ago

You'll love to see the cargo bikes with people sitting in the front. Lots of cycle lanes esp across the bridges

goldengaytime.bsky.social•45 days ago

If you’re not vegetarian, check out MAX BURGARE in either CPH or Malmö, skip The Little Mermaid unless „time permits“ enjoy an evening at Jailhouse. Walk around, a lot and of course even if you don’t go to Malmö take the metro to the aquarium so you can see *THE* BRIDGE if you’re into scandi noir.

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fab thank you! (Definitely not a vegetarian)

ads302.bsky.social•45 days ago

The changing of the guard was really cool to see at the amalienborg palace too! And if it's a lovely day there's nice view from the spire at St Saviours Church., tho this was years ago admittedly!!

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Ah I've marked both those already 🙂🙂

ads302.bsky.social•45 days ago

Beautiful friendly city!! Just don't bother with the Little Mermaid😂😂😂

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Noted! Any other tips gratefully received 🙂

alex4nd3r.bsky.social•45 days ago

Tivoli Theme Park and Fireworks.
Reffen for food and drink.
Nyhavn standard tourist hotspot.
Christiana strange and wonderful.
Definitely hire a bike.
City tours are pretty awesome.
Little mermaid is a bit underwhelming, but I'd still visit.

One of my favourite cities ❤️

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Super helpful! Thank you! Bikes...are they scary like London and Amsterdam? 😂

alex4nd3r.bsky.social•45 days ago

They're powered so it's easy to fly around.. But the roads are built for them. Felt totally safe 😁.

lumberbadger.bsky.social•45 days ago

Take a trip out of the city to visit Frederiksborg castle - was by far my favourite day there - like a quieter Versailles.

Don't go to MEN Bar you'll lose your passport and wallet 😭.

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh blimey sounds like there's a story there...?!

lumberbadger.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh it was an ordeal 😭😭

jackspilo.bsky.social•45 days ago

The hot dog stands are top tier x

shiresrich.bsky.social•45 days ago

Ooft I love a good hot dog
