Danish viking Posted November 11, 2018 Author #551 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I can safely say that the city isn't overcrowded like the other cities mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gma rae Posted November 14, 2018 #552 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hello, Thanks for all the great information! We will be in Copenhagen on April 29, 2019 on Princess Regal. This is a Monday and after researching sites I would like to visit I see that most of them are closed. Sad, as we are only there for the day. However, we will do a city walk, Hey Captain boat tour and investigate places to eat. Not sure I am interested in Tivoli as I do not care for amusement parks. What else would you recommend we see? We are interested in history, local points of interest, enjoying the flavor of the area, landscape and views. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frederik123456 Posted November 14, 2018 #553 Share Posted November 14, 2018 For museums, The Workers Musuem and Rosenborg Castle are usually open on Mondays. For views you could head to the top of the new ski slope/waste incineration plant Copenhill which is set to open this winter. There will be a cafe on top, and I think access will be free (but maybe there will be some kinds of restrictions if it gets overrun, we'll see): https://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/amager-bakke-copenhill-gdk1088237 Otherwise it is nice to take a stroll along the harbour front and the canals (e.g. Christianshavns canal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gma rae Posted November 15, 2018 #554 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks I appreciate the reply. According to Rick Steves new 2018 guide the Rosenburg castle is closed on Mondays in April and most Mondays throughout the year. It seems to be the case for most of the historic sites and museums. Thanks for the ski slope tip for views. Rachael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there for a day last August, and I did the Rick Steves walking tour, which actually took awhile. I went up the tower of City Hall to see the view. Those two things took up 2/3 of the day, so I think you might be fine if you are also doing a boat tour and looking for places to eat (which I didn't). The other thing I did (at 3pm) was the Christiansborg Palace stateroom tour, but unfortunately, that is closed on Mondays in April. We had to be back to the ship by 5pm anyway, and the walk back took some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gma rae Posted November 18, 2018 #556 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Thanks Blakejared! We will go with what we have and just absorb the city and enjoy its charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent two full days in Copenhagen in August, and the weather was so glorious we never went indoors anywhere on our first day. With a walking tour and a boat tour, and additional walking around on your own, your day will be pretty full. (I would recommend seeing the Marble Church, inside and out.) In terms of views, there’s the Round Tower, as well as a church with external stairs around the steeple (I apologize for forgetting the name, and as I’m on a phone I can’t look it up without losing this post). With only one day, I would not spend time in Tivoli. Enjoy your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gma rae Posted November 19, 2018 #558 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Thanks Turtles06, I know the church you mean it is called Our Saviour's Church and it is in the Christianshavn area. On our list per RS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted November 23, 2018 #559 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi I’m going to be in Copenhagen in early July next year. I was interested in Tivoli at night. Our ship leaves at 10pm, will it be dark by 8-9pm or not in July? Sorry if that sounds a silly question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted November 24, 2018 #560 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Sunset in beginning of July is just before you ship is leaving Copenhagen - so answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjammer Posted November 24, 2018 #562 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hello, I'm trying to decide between Steel House and Urban House for my pre-cruise stay. 2 adults and 2 teens. Urban House sounds like a slightly more convenient location, albeit in the red light district! But the Steel House website explains the how the kitchen works better and I intend on making some of our own meals. Does anyone have any insight to add? Thanks! (blew the budget on the cruise so I need to save on the hotel!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted November 24, 2018 Author #563 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Both hostels gets good reviews on Tripadvisor, they are ranked 2 and 3 in the speciality lodgings category. Only the CPH living floating hotel is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've passed customs, just keep walking straight ahead and you'll get there. It's clearly signed. All trains to Copenhagen Central Station depart from track 2. At Copenhagen Central Station you can use the Reventlowsgade exit. Check www.journeyplanner.dk :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both hostels are located veryclose to some good restaurants so thats a 50/50 decision. Edited November 26, 2018 by Danish viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel is located next to a convention centre. There's not really anything to do in that area, so if you want to be in the heart of the city, it's not the place for you.

Slyfox16 Posted November 27, 2018 #573 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Thank you very much for your comments, as we are now looking at other hotels, hopefully more centrally located and where you can walk at night. Does anyone know about these Marriott locations: candiagade 14, Copenhagen 2450 Denmark . Kalvebod Brygge 5, Copenhagen 1560 Denmark or Niels Brocks Gade 1, Copenhagen 1574 Denmark. Thanks for the help with the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help with the hotel. You're welcome! When you say walk at night, do you think about your safety? There's no need to worry about that in Copenhagen - unless you're a gang member or do something stupid, like running around on the motorway at night: that's very dangerous. Scandiagade 14, 2450 København SV: Not that it's a bad area, but there's not a lot to do for a tourist here. Frequent buses and S-trains from Sydhavn Station to the city centre. Kalvebod Brygge 5, 1560 København V: City centre within walking distance. Nice area by the water. The immediate surroundings aren't the most interesting, but it's close to the city centre, so it's not that big of a problem. Niels Brocks Gade 1, 1571 København V: Short walk to the City Hall Square and proximity to large parts of the city centre. Niels Brocks Gade 1 and Kalvebod Brygge 5 are located close to each other, so choosing one over the other doesn't make that much of a difference when talking about proximity to the city centre.

Ga Hiker Posted December 23, 2018 #575 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I will be in Copenhagen for one night next May. I'm will be by myself this trip and need a suggestion for a budget hotel close to the train station and Tivoli. I plan to use public transportation for the most part.
