Another month, another country and wow has it been amazing. I had no previous expectations of Denmark and it truly ‘wowed’ me. I went for 4 days, and spent a lot more money than I expected, Copenhagen is the most expensive city I have ever visited. £400 in about 3 days.
We arrived, the three of us, on the 10th October and landed in the morning. We did a lot on day one, including Guinness world of records, a boat trip and Christiansborg palace. Guinness world of records is everything you expect and was impressive. But what really impressed me was Christiansborg palace, the outside was beautiful and you could go up to the top to see all of Copenhagen for free, which was by lift. The boat trip was really good, it took us all around with a speaker to tell us where we were and a history of the place. On the boat trip, I saw the little mermaid statue which was underwhelming so decided to not make the walk to see it. At around 5pm we went to check in to Cabinn Copenhagen hotel which was in a great location, but the room was TINY. But it did have everything you needed for your stay. That evening we went to Hard Rock Cafe and then went to a few bars, coming back around 2am.
On day 2, we decided to visit the sea life centre which was AMAZING. I would compare it to the Deep in hull, it was soo good. There was the most beautiful scenery of the beach just outside too, which made for some lovely photos. It cost about £15 each. On the same day we went back to central Copenhagen and visited ripleys believe it or not which was similar to Guinness world records, but still worth it. That evening we booked a bar crawl which was £15 but you got a shot in each bar and a long drink in the ending club, which was okay. The end club wasn’t our cup of tea (Latino music) so we had our drink and found elsewhere.
On the Saturday we decided to visit Sweden, which I’ll make a different post about, but only cost £20 on the train. When we arrived back from Sweden we went to the round tower, which cost about £4. You have to walk all the way up, so wouldn’t recommend this one for people with disabilities. As you walk up there are a couple of stops, with info about space and the tower. At the top you can see all of Copenhagen, similar to the Christiansborg palace. I would also recommend this tower. That evening, we went to tavoli gardens, which cost £17 to get in without any rides. We paid about £5 for the carousel and the haunted hospital. Tavoli gardens is a MUST. It’s absolutely beautiful and most definitely worth the visit (as seen on the photos).
Although being expensive, I would highly recommend Copenhagen for both the activities in the day and the night life.
