 Restaurant With Brewery |
Vesterbrogade 3 Copenhagen 1620 Denmark +45 3312 3313 |
Apollo is Copenhagen's first and (so far) only brewery and restaurant. It is located left of the main entrance to Tivoli Gardens. Live jazz is played here on the first Sunday of every month. A special jazz menu is served on these occasions. At Apollo you will find the unusual offer of two organic brews on tap: a Pilsner and a 'Brew of the Month', which usually befits the season. The beer is cloudy and tasty, as it is both unfiltered and unpasteurised. It costs around DKK25 for 25cl. The restaurant offers a small but varied range of dishes, some containing beer. The cuisine contains both Danish and international elements. You can have a three-course dinner for about DKK350, not including drinks. The place is often full, so if you want to eat, do make a reservation. There could have been some kind of German Bierstube atmosphere to this place, if not for the glass walls that surround the restaurant, making it a light and fresh place. The cellar, however, is a bit more rustic, with its long wooden tables and antique pieces of brewing equipment on the walls. If you come in the daytime, you might see the brewer himself working by the handmade copper pots always eager to answer your questions about his beer... Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Alternative Copenhagen |
Prinsessegade Copenhagen Denmark +45 32 95 6507 http://www.christiania.org nytforum@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 |

Church Known For Its Twisted Spire |
Skt. Annægade 19 Copenhagen 1416 Denmark +45 3257 2798 http://www.vorfrelserskirke.dk |
Vor Frelsers Kirke (the Church of Our Saviour) is situated in the romantic surroundings of Christianshavn, the island between Copenhagen city and Amager. Architect Lambert von Haven built the church in 1696. At that time, the church could not afford a spire, so the beautiful tower that now crowns Vor Frelsers Kirke was not added until 1752. Now the tower with its twisted gold and copper spire, which takes you 95 meters and 400 steps above ground-level, is the most famous part of the church. From the top you have a splendid view. The spire has been newly restored and now looks just great. The interior is interesting too. Note the relief depicting the elephant that seems to bear the organ. The elephant is a symbol of the highest order of nobility achievable in Denmark. The church is also famous for its advanced carillon. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Local Parish Church On Vesterbro |
Vesterbrogade 49 Copenhagen 1620 Denmark +45 33 24 79 38 http://www.folkekirken.dk/STIF... |
Eliaskirken is a national church on Vesterbro, the part of Copenhagen west of Søerne (the Lakes). It was built in 1906-08, when National Romanticism was popular in Denmark. The architect was Martin Nyrop, whose main work, Rådhuset (the Town Hall), surpasses this church in popularity. The church is characterised by symmetrical towers on its façade. The interior of the church is structured like a basilica. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Centre of all Train Traffic in Denmark |
Banegårdspladsen 4 Copenhagen 1577 Denmark +45 3314 0400 |
Hovedbanegården, the Grand Central Station, is the centre for all train traffic in Copenhagen as well as Denmark. From Central Station, you are able to travel to the forest as well as the beaches with the S-train. You will also find departures to most of the bigger cities of Europe, on ordinary trains. In 1911, the Central Station moved to its present location on Vesterbrogade, just across the road from Tivoli. The man behind this grand building was DSB's chief architect Henrik Wench. At the beginning of the 1990s, several fancy shops and cafés opened up in the arrival and departure hall, which lead to the creation of the shopping centre Hovedbanen. The ambience is very relaxed at Central Station, at any time of the day or year, with all kinds of people. Even the Royal Family have their own apartment at the Central Station, where they wait for their train to depart. There is a clock just inside the entrance; many people make arrangements to meet 'under the clock'. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Amusement Park |
Vesterbrogade 3 Postboks 233 Copenhagen 1620 Denmark +45 (0)3315 1001 http://www.tivoli.dk info@tivoli.dk |
Founded in 1843, Tivoli is located where the once-fortified city's ramparts used to be, and the park's on-site lake is a remnant of the city's moat. Children of all ages visit year 'round for the old-world carnival-style atmosphere and the exciting attractions. Test your mettle on a number of extreme thrill rides (including "The Demon" and "The Spinning Top"). Tamer rides and activities are in abundance as well. Young ones will not want to miss the grand carousel or the aquarium. Older folk tend to congregate in and around Tivoli's nearly 40 bars and restaurants, some of which are tres gourmet and may date as far back as 1843. World-class live entertainment is always provided, and the festivities get kicked into high gear during the Christmas season. See website for complete list of attractions, video tours, seasonal hours, event calendar and more. Review © 2007, Wcities |
