Amsterdam, Berlin or Brussels?
My daughter is studying abroad in Copenhagen and is running out of weekends that she can travel. If she can only choose 1 of these cities, which one would you do?

Of the three I've been to Amsterdam and Brussels, and if the choice was between those two, I'd definitely pick Amsterdam. I really enjoyed both cities, but Amsterdam is a place I could see returning to again and again. Plus there seemed to be more in Amsterdam aimed at young adults.

From a pragmatic point of view, Berlin is probably the most affordable capital. You can find lots of hotel bargains at hrs.com, food / street food is probably only a fraction of what she is used in Denmark -- esp. the ubiquitous box of chinese noodles for €1.50
Berlin is much larger than Amsterdam or Brussels, and will definetely keep a young adult entertained for a weekend. It's one of Europe's hotspots for clubbing, going out, pubs etc.
