Port #1 of our Baltic Cruise
Travel Notes
Transportation
We flew Scandinavian Airlines into Copenhagen and hailed a cab from the airport to our hotel. The Copenhagen airport is outside of the city limits and about a 20 minute cab ride to downtown.
Once in the city, if you're up for walking, it's very doable to see a lot by foot. Other options are bicycles, buses, taxi, and metro.
Hotel Accommodations
A waterfront, environmentally friendly hotel, that has been converted from an 18th century warehouse. It neighbors the Royal Palace and is a short walk to the downtown attractions. The design and decor of this hotel is beautiful. Exposed wooden beams give the place a rustic/chic feel. The breakfast buffet was incredible, such a large variety of fresh and healthy food options.
A retro boutique style hotel with a flair for mid-century modern Danish furniture. It's in a prime location near the city center, sitting right on a busy street. So, a bit noisy at night when the windows are open, but, well worth it to be in the heart of the hustle and bustle.
Attractions
We spent at least ten hours walking throughout Copenhagen and taking it all in!
There is so much to see and do in Copenhagen from walking the longest pedestrian street of shops in the world to touring a castle or riding the latest rides in Tivoli Gardens. While these are a few of the main tourist attractions, I would suggest walking away from that area and dining at a local restaurant or grabbing a coffee at a cafe in one of the trendy neighborhoods.
Here's a suggested list of things to see:
- Tivoli Gardens
- Nyhavn
- Rundetaarn (The Round Tower)
- Amalienborg Slotsplads
- The Little Mermaid
- Stroget (shopping street)
- The Kings Garden
