Hotels in Copenhagen

I love Copenhagen and I visit almost every year. I have relatives there and visit them every time, but this time I had to get a hotel room which was nice. I like the museums and shopping. In the summer it is nice to take boat trips in the canals and travel around in the country. I also love to eat out and just relax and enjoy myself. Copenhagen is easy to travel around by bus and metro or rent a bike and join the hundreds who bike around the city. Just love Copenhagen :) The parks are lovely and the people are wonderful.

Wheather was so beautiful Althought we were ROBBED in Hotel KONG ARTHUR FOR 2 pounds of gold"King George" we knew it after leaving the Kong Arthur Hotel we did not have time to return & claim for it.Also I forgot to put it in the safe of the room.It was always there in my suit case easily to be opened where I was 8 hours every day out of my room attending the International Ophthalmology conference.

very expensive in terms of food and drinks and also high cost of travelling, fantastic ambiance and feel. For cutting down cost its better to book an apartment hotel rather than a hotel room as one can cut down cost by some self cooking some meals. The cost of tickets to main attractions is very high so do some planning. All major attractions are in zone 2 and 3. Stay clear of hop on and off bus its too overpriced for what it delivers. The free walking tour in English conducted by danish Daniel is the best deal in town so dont miss it.

We were there five days, after spending 12 days in the Baltic on a cruise. Unfortunately, we both caught colds and out of the five days we were only able to sightsee about two days. We plan on returning sometime to see what we missed. Otherwise, what we did see was from the Hop-On/Hop-Off bus and canal tour and it was easy and inexpensive to use. This is high season though, and the crowds were huge. We enjoyed spending what time we weren't in the room coughing and blowing our noses in Tivoli Gardens. Our hotel was directly across the street and the gardens offer many varied restaurants, and lots of benches to sit and watch the people. It's an amazing place and if you miss it you will miss a beautiful part of Copenhagen.

Our favourite spots were Nyhavn, a waterfront entertainment district lined with fine restaurants and bars, Amalienborg Palace, the home of the Danish royal family, and Tivoli Gardens, an enchanting amusement park in the centre of the city. There is no shortage of great restaurants in Copenhagen and we booked dinner one night at a lovely restaurant called Peder Oxe just off Stroget, the main shopping street. Found on a few lists of Copenhagen's best restaurants, Peder Oxe is an elegant and refined space, the staff is well trained (our waitress spoke impeccable English and chatted with us about her trips to Canada) and the food is excellent. My husband had their gourmet hamburger and I enjoyed a delcious steak dinner. From there we went to Montmartre Jazzhus, Copenhagen's legendary jazz house, and closed out our evening with some great jazz. At Nyhavn, we had lunch at the Cap Horn restaurant also considered one of Copenhagen's best restaurants where I tried smorrebrod, the open face sandwiches for which Denmark is well known. Because Copenhagen isn't a large city, we found it easy to get around by walking to all of the major sites. We also found it convenient to be able to take a train from the airport to a stop near our hotel. We enjoyed our visit to Tivoli Gardens during the day and our only disappointment was that we didn't have an opportunity to see it at night when it's lit up with thousands of lights. Our self guided tour of Amalienborg Palace was very interesting and we were fascinated to learn that some of the rooms we were allowed to walk through were still being used by Denmark's Royal Family for state visits. The Palace staff were very friendly and answered all of our questions about the Palace and life in Denmark.

We lived near Copenhagen in Lyngby for 1 1/2 years from 1991-1992. This was our 8th return trip to see close friends who are Danish. Several of our most favorite spots to visit: 1) Tivoli Gardens - any time; famous gardens, multiple choices of restaurants; Sunday afternoon programs of Mimes, ballet, with several Jazz bandstands with live music. A MUST SEE! 2) Lyngby - Great shopping selections (especially Magasin) on Main Street and little shops along walking street to the train station and buses; Lyngby Storecentre (one-of-a-kind shopping center when first built in the early '90s - every kind of store imaginable, with food court and movie theatre, and adjoining hotel). 3) Lyngby - The Deer Park - multiple paths and trails for hiking, jogging, biking or horseback riding - through centuries-old forests, meadows, deer feeding openly at dusk and dawn. HOTEL FORTUNEN and Restaurant, adjoins the main entry of the Deer Park, with extraordinary foods, choice of lovely outdoor terrace eating or the quaint indoor dining room, surrounded by walls of beautifully painted hunting murals. 4) Bagsvaerd Kirk (Church) - close to Lyngby; designed by famed Danish architect Jorb Utzon, after returning to Denmark from designing the Sydney Opera House. 5) Fredriksborg Castle - in Hillerod (north of Copenhagen), with surrounding gardens and path around the lake; easy walking to eateries and pub. 6) 72 hour Copenhagen Card made travel available by any trains, buses, or canal trips. It also covered all entry fees to museums, castles, and Tivoli Gardens. 7) Our newest fun activity: Riding Me-Movers (a new Danish invention) through the newest harbor areas of Copenhagen on our own; faster than walking, not as fast-paced as biking amidst the hundreds of expert Danish bikers.
