DENMARK

WHEN: May 2017
WHERE: Copenhagen

This was a 12 hour layover so I don't have a lot of information for you - we didn't stay the night

what to see/do

       1. Tivoli Gardens

​

 


- a famous amusement park located right in the heart of Copenhagen 
- very colourful and lights up at night 
- unsure of cost to get in (I believe it was 11 euros)

We landed and were out and about by 7am. It was dead at 7am. There were no tourists anywhere - just us! It felt so cool. Weather was perfect in May

When we went

general tips/tricks

  • we managed to get everything that we wanted to see in the 12 hours that we were there

  • transport from the airport to downtown is very easily accessible via metro

  • once you're in the downtown core you can easily walk everywhere

  • if you do take the metro - make sure you get the correct passes - we were fined (never paid it though)

  • other major sites you should see: the little mermaid, Amalienborg, and Christiansborg Palace

  • great food and beer but can be pricey

Final thoughts

Beautiful country with lots of pretty things to see
Would I recommend going? 
Only as a layover 
Would I go back? 
I have no need to go back
Total Cost: 
Around $50 per person

(please note: this was simply a layover so all we had to pay for was food and the metro pass - $50 is probably pushing it)
