 Residence of the Danish Royal Family |
Amalienborgs Slotsplads Copenhagen 1257 Denmark |
Built by Frederik V to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the House of Oldenborg, Amalienborg consists of four palaces built around a square. These are Moltkes Palace (Christian VII's palace), Schackske Palace (Christians IX's palace and residence of Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik), Levetzaus Palace (Christian VIII's palace and residence of Crown Prince Frederik) and Brockdorfske Palace (Frederik VIII's palace). Architect Niels Eigtved was heavily influenced by the rococo style. Of the four palaces, Moltkes Palace is considered the most outstanding. When Christiansborg burned down in 1794, the royal family moved to Amalienborg, since then it has been their official residence. The square is dominated by Saly's equestrian statue of Frederik V (1723-1766) which, together with the palace buildings, forms a breathtaking architectural ensemble. Lovers of the royal family flock to the square once a year to celebrate Queen Margrethe's birthday. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Café with Good Breakfast |
Istedgade 130 Copenhagen 1650 Denmark +45 3325 5318 http://www.bangogjensen.dk/ |
Bang og Jensen is on Istedgade, the former red-light district of Copenhagen. The interior is fun and kitschy, and the ambience is friendly. Popular here are the ancient pinball machines and the table football. Most of the clientele at this café consists of the young and the trendy, especially young women. A speciality here is the breakfast, which is served all through the day until 6p. It is actually more of a brunch. The unique thing about it is that you are given a form, on which you fill in exactly how you want your food served. And there are many delicious things to choose from. At night, the café turns into a cocktail bar, and the bartender Ingeborg knows her job well. She has been practising for seven years at a trendy place in New York. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bankeråt means 'Bankrupt'. Nevertheless, this café is not broke or going out of business. Very much alive and kicking, it gained its fame through some TV poetry sessions held here.

Alternative Copenhagen |
Prinsessegade Copenhagen Denmark +45 32 95 6507 http://www.christiania.org |
Founded in 1971, Christiania is an anarchic part of Denmark. It was set up as a direct result of the student uprisings of the 1960s. Today, Christiania is home to some 750 outsiders and is a free city, which means that it is not part of the city, the country, or the European Union. It is a lively place and there are always lots of activities happening. One of the original ideas was to have a 'no car town', but nowadays the inhabitants have trouble finding parking spaces outside the district because of the multitude of tourist buses. Visitors should be aware that the sale of drugs is legal here, and that dogs run around the streets freely. Guided tours can be arranged. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Harbour of Copenhagen |
Nordre Toldbod 7 Copenhagen Denmark +45 3347 9999 |
The best way to see the harbour is by going on one of the Canal Tours. On these trips the tourist is presented with many sights that are located along the Copenhagen waterfront. Admire the castles including Christiansborg and Amalienborg, charming old areas like Nyhavn and Christianshavn, churches such as Holmens Kirke and Marmorkirken, and modern buildings like the headquarters of A. P. Møller or the Black Diamond. The harbour of Copenhagen stretches from Nordhavn and Frihavnen deep into the heart of the city. From as far back as the 1930s, the harbour has been strongly criticized. However, with newer initiatives, like the new building work at Frihavnen, the harbour is becoming a recreational area for the people of Copenhagen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Black Levi's |
Larsbjørnsstræde 10, Street Copenhagen 1454 Denmark +45 3311 6745 |
For a darkly clad Copenhagen new-wave punk of the early eighties, Floss was the center of the world. Someone said that the old regulars turned out to become either drug addicts or famous, or both. Today Floss still maintains its feel of being distinctively cool, despite the ageing crowd and the ever-playing early Stones records' apparent need of replacement. A lot can be said and has been said about Floss, as it is part of Copenhagen's history, and it is still a place where no one would ever care to pay attention to whether it is Monday afternoon or Saturday night.

 Beautiful Park at Frederiksberg |
Frederiksberg Allé / Allégade Copenhagen 2000 Denmark |
Frederiksberg Have is a labour of H.G.H. Scheel and J.C. Krieger in the early seventeenth century, around Frederiksberg Slot castle. The idea of creating this garden was Frederik IV's, inspired by his trips to Italy. The style is Baroque, with strict axes of symmetry. Times changed, in the eighteenth century and so did ideals. Romanticism was prime time, what with English country gardens considered the epitome of perfection. Such tendencies corrupted the strict Baroque style of Frederiksberg. The garden ponds were connected by a network of canals twisted into a maze. Today you see grottoes with wells, a Chinese pavilion, temples, the Norwegian House and the fountain right in front of Frederiksberg Slot. A rich variety of bird-life, all exotic visitors from the Zoo nearby. In spring and summer, admire the flowerbeds in full bloom. The park is open from 6a till sunset. Review © 2007, Wcities |

H.C. Ørstedsparken was originally part of the moats of Copenhagen. The park was built in 1876-79 in an English style with wonderful lawns and paths. It also has playgrounds and a café, and in the summer the park is full of people sunbathing. Some would not recommend visiting the park in the evenings. It is named after the famous Danish physicist H.C. Ørsted. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Natural Area in the Heart of Copenhagen |
Prinsessegade Copenhagen 1436 Denmark |
Holmen is a former military area, but when the navy pulled out in 1996, this big scenic area was opened to the public. The main entrance is at the end of Prinsessegade on Christianshavn. Another way to get to Holmen is to go by boat with the canal tours from Nyhavn or Gammel Strand. The big rigging-tower, a stone construction with a copper roof dating from 1749, is the landmark of Holmen and a part of the Copenhagen skyline. The Navy has resided on Holmen since 1690. Gunshots still thunder from Sixtus Batteriet at sunset and dawn. Cultural activities and artists have also moved into Holmen with the four art schools located there. Now an extensive residential building project is being carried out. It's nice to sometimes get away from the noise and stress of the big city. Try the restaurants along the harbour. Near the water, it is cool even on the hottest days. And from here you have a magnificent view over Amalienborg and Marmorkirken. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Café by the Lakes |
Peblinge Dossering 6 Copenhagen 2200 Denmark +45 35 35 12 19 |
Kaffesalonen is a café situated by the Lakes, with a style reminiscent of the 'good old' 50s. Especially all the old adverts make you feel as if you were in an old film. The clientele consists mainly of locals, but in the summer when you can sit outdoors, you will find all sorts of people drop by. They serve a cheap breakfast from 8am, with fresh bread, eggs, jam and cheese. It is a nice place to start off the day, enjoying the view of the Lakes and the early joggers and dog-walkers. For lunch you can have a really Danish treat, as they have many kinds of smørrebrød. Dinners are Danish as well, although they also have international dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Copenhagen's Most Beautiful Area |
Fra Esplanaden til Langeliniekajen Copenhagen 2100 Denmark |
This area could be described as the most beautiful in Copenhagen, and stretches from Esplanaden to Lystbådehavnen, the pier of Langelinie and Frihavnen. If you walk along the outer harbour of Copenhagen, you will be able to enjoy a breath of fresh air from Øresund. You will also pass Churchillparken with its English church, Frihedsmuseet (a landmark to World War II), the Gefion Fountain, the statues of Frederik IX and Princess Marie, Langeliniepavillionen restaurant, the Little Mermaid, and the Mylius-Erichsen Monument (to the people who died during the Greenland expedition 1906-07). Last but not least, is Frihavnen, with its warships and huge cruise liners, and recently a new housing and business district. From Langelinie you can see over to Holmen, where the yacht of the Royal Danish family, Dannebrog, usually lies anchored. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Small Concert Club |
Bådsmandstræde 43 Christiania Copenhagen 1407 Denmark +45 3257 8422 http://www.loppen.dk/ |
Loppen has in its fairly short history fought against violence, closedown threats and aversion, but has survived because of the strength of its non profit-making organisation. With its location in the free city of Christiania, just next to Pusher Street, these conflicts may come as no surprise. But Loppen has fought for the good reputation it has now achieved. The club aims at a minimum of four concerts a week, in which the style is rock as well as alternative and pop. Some famous names on the programme in the past have been The Verve, Smashing Pumpkins, Blur and The Cardigans. For bigger international concert names tickets can often be booked in advance through Billetnet or Sex Beat Records. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old harbour by Kongens Nytorv |
Københavns havn til Kongens Nytorv Copenhagen 1051 Denmark |
Nyhavn docks were constructed in 1670 as an encouragement to trade and shipping, with a new canal going from the harbour of Copenhagen to Kongens Nytorv. Along the quays, houses have been built on the two different sides - one side contains Charlottenborg castle and blocks of flats, which belong to the bourgeoisie; and on the other side, there are houses built of timber, and picturesque buildings. Up to the 1950s and 1960s, many houses were situated here, but no so-called decent people would have ever ventured into this part of town after dark. In that very same period, poets praised that very quality of the old Nyhavn in songs like "Nu går våren gennem Nyhavn". Today, this side of Nyhavn has become fashionable. The quay has been turned into a pedestrian street and the harbour basin has been opened for old sailing ships. Excellent restaurants and cafés have opened; and especially in the summer, the quay is crowded with people having a good time. Today, if you are interested in buying property in this part of town, you have to be more than well-off. One of the most famous residents of Nyhavn was the fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen. You can take tours departing from Nyhavn on the canal tour boats or Havnebussen to see many of the important sights around here, including Holmen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The beer prices are low and the ambition level high. This is your shortcut to the soul of the Copenhagen student body. Ask for backgammon, chess or cards in the bar. The programme for each day of the week is different. It's Gays & Lesbians on Tuesdays, Exchange/Socrates students' day on Wednesdays, Live Jazz on Thursdays, and Post-Indie-Heavy-Gothic Rock on Fridays. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Little Mermaid |
Langelinie Copenhagen 1263 Denmark |
Copenhagen's most famous tourist attraction, the Little Mermaid sits on a rock overlooking the harbour. Created by Edward Eriksen in 1913 who was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. The model for the Mermaid was dancer Ellen Price. The statue's head was stolen in 1964 and although police hunted for several years, neither the perpetrator nor the head were found. The head has been replaced by a replica but jokers still occasionally try to saw it off. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Distinguished Little Restaurant |
Magstræde 16 Copenhagen 1204 Denmark +45 3316 1292 http://www.tyvenkokkenhanskone... |
Located on the old narrow street of Magstræde, this establishment is a charming little place with one selected menu (which changes every week) and a wine menu to match it. The old, slightly lopsided walls are painted white, matching the white tablecloths. The wine glasses are big and expensive and the smell of good cooking fills the air. Only one menu is available - take it or leave it - but you can be sure that it will be made of the season's best, most tempting products, put together in new and creative combinations. The five-course menu costs around DKK 400, and the matching wine menu DKK 425. There is a splendid selection of single malts and cigars. Everything is of the best quality, and is for those willing (and able) to pay for it. Review © 2007, Wcities |
