Hovedstaden Region Travel Guide

If you find yourself in Copenhagen don't neglect to make a day trip to the city of Humlebaek - about 1 hour away from Copenhagen - and the Louisiana Museum for Modern Art. It usually hosts some great exhibitions.You can buy a combined (and reduced) train and museum entrance ticket. The train journey is beautiful especially in Spring and Summer and the museum is located near the sea so the scenery is suberb.

Top tip - pop into the tourist office and pick up a 'walking map' of Copenhagen. Gives you a wonderful walking tour of Copenhagen and you can choose how long a route to take which brings you past all the important landmarks and out of the main high streets. Otherwise spend the day in Tivoli, one of the best theme parks in the world!

Remember the breakfasts at the Hotel Astroria ? So huge and delicious . And you took with bits of jam and bread and eggs in doggy-bags . Remember my first shower in the Grand Hotel (baths were always my thing in earliest years) . I watched a war-movie on TV while you were sleeping there . Did you know ? Remember our visit to that strange gentleman outside in a smaller city who gave us tapes of Schlager-Music ? Or Björn Winblad and his posters ? The extraordinary production of The Nutcracker by the same man with all its colours and fabulous dancers ? Or The Barber of Seville with Ulrich Kold whom we met afterwards ?
