Copenhagen

Visit Copenhagen and you will be struck by the omnipresence of the sea (København, as the Danes know it, translates as ‘merchants’ port’). And if the Baltic always feels close, so too does Sweden, not much more than a stone’s throw away on the other side of Øresund, a relatively narrow strait spanned by a bridge.

Water is not the only abundant feature. There are plenty of parks and green spaces, as well as a wide range of museums and galleries, not to mention a wealth of royal palaces and castles, whose towers are, along with the spires of churches, the only thing to punctuate the otherwise flat skyline.

Unusually for a capital city, most of the main sights can be reached on foot, though you may prefer to do as locals do and get around by bike – Copenhagen is one of, if not the, most cycle-friendly cities in the world.

Explore the city

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

We provide notes for a self-guided walking tour, taking in the main sights. The Kastellet is one of the best preserved star fortresses in northern Europe, while the Amalienborg (the main residence of the Danish royal family) is considered to be the greatest example of Danish Rococo architecture. Another imposing building with royal connections is the Rosenborg Castle, which now boasts a fine collection of tapestries and the Royal Danish Collection, including the Danish crown jewels.

The National Museum explores the history of the Danes from pre-history to modern times, and there are numerous other museums devoted to subjects as diverse as design, medical history and theatre – the latter is housed in an old opera house. Be sure to climb the city’s aptly named Round Tower for a bird’s-eye view of the capital.

As you explore with our walking notes, you’ll learn about the influential figures who have shaped the city, the characters who have been honoured with statues, and much more – our notes provide the type of information you’d expect on a guided tour, with the advantage that you can explore at your own pace and detour as and when you wish.
Beyond the city centre

Venture further afield by bike

Venture further afield by bike

To explore beyond the city centre, it is well worth hiring bikes (the city operates a bike-sharing scheme, or alternatively you may be able to hire bikes from your hotel). Copenhagen is largely flat and has an extremely bike-friendly culture, so this is a great way to discover the canals of the stylish Christianshavn district, the green spaces of the Frederiksberg area to the west of the city centre, or even some of the beaches nearby.

Accommodation

Both hotels are ideally located for exploring the city. We provide suggestions for where to eat out in the documentation that we send you prior to your holiday.

2 nights
71 Nyhavn
Copenhagen
The location of the hotel is hard to beat, right on the waterfront in the atmospheric Nyhavn district, yet within easy walking distance of the main sights. The hotel has been converted from one of the tall, brick-built warehouses which line the harbour, and the old wooden timbers have been retained to striking effect in the lobby, bar and restaurant. In keeping with the rest of the hotel, the bedrooms are very stylish, and equipped with flat-screen television, minibar, hairdryer and free internet connection. For a bit more space and views over the Nyhavn canal, it is well worth upgrading to a deluxe room with view.

Meal arrangements: breakfast only
2 nights
Copenhagen Strand
Copenhagen
The Copenhagen Strand is set on the harbour promenade, just a few minutes' walk from Nyhavn, the Royal Residence at Amalienborg, Kongens Nytorv ('The King's New Square'), and the famous shopping street 'Stroget'. The stylish public areas are decorated in modern Scandinavian design inspired by Nordic light, the sea and Danish 'coziness', as are the bedrooms which also contain large comfy beds, tea and coffee making facilities, safe and minibar. There is a small bar and plenty of quiet corners in the lobby in which to sit and relax. Your stay is on a bed-and-breakfast basis, leaving you free to explore the local area which is buzzing with restaurants, cafés and other culinary temptations.

We loved the hotels and the routes and the walking tours and suggestions on what to visit and where to eat.

The Inntravel staff are all very friendly and knowledgable

If you want to eat out in Copenhagen you need to book in advance. We gave up and went to Netto and had picnics in our room. Everywhere near the hotel was fully booked as it was so busy and touristy.

We have just had a very pleasant lunch on the shore of the Sortedam Lake at Cafe 22, but this is about half an hours walk away from the Strand Hotel.

Copenhagen is an easy city break and we loved the fact that we could fly there from Newquay. The information pack from Inntravel certainly helped with our city walks, cycling, museums and parks as well as where to eat. One of our best trips was cycling over the cycle bridge next to the Nyhavn and taking in the wetlands and lifestyle. We also took the boat to Flakfortet, again the boat was just outside the hotel. Easy!
