I stayed at Guldsmeden Axel Hotel. It has been very nice. Very comfortable, nice people, excellent breakfast. But I think every place in Copenhagen is wonderful. Danish people are the most civilized population in Europe. But they also know how to have fun! My best New Year's Eve! This town really makes me hope that a better world is possible!

Don't miss Christiania. Well that's it. Enough people said enough about that splendid city. Well, don't go in winter, I'd like to add.

My very personal image of roskilde. I was going out of Kopanhagen via this town. And it happened to be during the days of the famous festival. It was raining cats and dogs (as usual) and I was the only person trying to get out the town to hitchhike, while rest of the crowd were coming in. I've go lost three times and got completly wet. Among all this huge herd of people no local to ask the direction. Finally after three hours past I did find and went away. Survived! As i said it's very personal image

Danish people are usually very nice and helpful. One of my favourite places is Rosenborg Slot.

from the main station take a 10-20 mins walk to the beautiful quarter called fredriksberg. go to the beach up north and on the way go visit the freetown christiania if you like alternative culture...

DENMARK MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD DENMARK , The memories of childhood come back ... Of love and experience nothing they lack ... Astoria breakfast , lovely as can be ... Colloseum , Barbiere , A daddy and me ... Cough medicine , Guards , Bond-films and more ... A country with culture and movies in store ... Thank you for everything would be the word of the day ... And more good to come in every way !!!

Aarhus has a very friendly crowd and it's easy for foreighners to get in contact with the locals, especially in pubs and clubs. There's also a great chance you'll meet someone from your own country, as there's a lot of students with other cultural backgrounds than Danish.

Look for pickled Herring as an appetizer on restaurants, and visit their museums wit an extensive viking culture artifacts.

Come to Roskilde in the beginning of july and you can be a part of one of the biggest festivals in Europe!! The Roskilde festival have 75.000 annual guests and a lot of volenteers. The music is a wide variety from indie, rock, country, techno and a WHOLE lot more! Join the party with 4 days warm-up and 4 days with music from all over the world! Be prepared for all kinds of weather... It can be sunny but it can also get pretty wet!!

A perfect place to spend the night is Drop Inn, a bar with live music every day. http://www.drop-inn.dk/

If you ever visit the island Anholt, I would strongly suggest you to bring some basic food... the prizes are very high due to the size og the island, and the small number of locals. Further more... bring entertainment... there is really not a lot to do, Books, games, music.. what ever you like to do. And remeber bathing cloth ;) thats roughly the only thing you can do...

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 ? Or our mutual walks in town ? Or seeing Superman III and Wargames (with a Danish-speaking computer in the movie) ? Well , yes .The trips to Copenhagen were among the finest memories of my childhood . Funny experiences . Happy experiences . Good experinces . Breakfasts and very good Danish plays . Just my Dad and me having fun together . Copenhagen , we love you .

If you like rock music, then you have to visit The Rock!
It's the best place ever =)

The only thing worth to visiting is the Italian restaurant near the railway station, they have excellent fish dishes. The nicest view over the city and the fjord is from the windmill on top of the hill. At night it's beautiful with special lights

something´s rotten in the state of Denmark ...

standing on the shore facing Swedens Helsingborg make sure to have fishing rod with you ... the 500 meters pressing water is packed with codfish!

Bicycles are are huge part of transport in Denmark so be careful of the special bike lanes because cyclist will not hesitate to run you down.

In Hvide Sande they have an ice cream factory. And very good ice cream is sold in various cafes there. Try ice cream in waffel cones 'gammel dags' = the old way. Since it is a fishing town you can always get plenty fresh fish there as well. In many fish delis different types of fresh sea fish, shrimps, etc. just lies there waiting for you to buy! Excellent for barbecues too!

Var på cykeltur her. Skønt om sommeren

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!

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.

Skagen er en hyggelig gammel by med masser af sjæl og speciel arkitektur. Det er også meget turistpræget og har en masse kultur og ferietilbud. Og så er det et spændende syn at se Grenen, hvor vandende mødes.

You really have to go to Nyhavn, lovely atmosphere!

Bring lots of money its very expensive

Check out Christiania (aka Freetown) to see what a self governed community can become...

If you're up for a little adventure, be sure to visit Christiania, a small self-governed region of Denmark in the middle of Copenhagen. It's not for everyone, you should definitely keep your wits about you, and you must obey the citizens rules (absolutely no photography!). If you approach them with an open-mind and try to stay away from the touristy tendencies, the residents are very friendly and many of them probably have very interesting stories to tell. There is a market so you can buy a locally-made souvenir as well.
