What to do...Copenhagen
 
Any suggestions on what to do while in Copenhagen for the week. No car, so at the mercy of transit there. On business, but time for sightseeing....any help would be wonderful. Leave in a few weeks.

Here's a great site with many attractions listed: http://www.woco.dk

Get a central hotel. Copenhagen is very walkable.

Great website...thanks for the help.

I was only in Copenhagen a couple of days and took a city tour which covered the highlights. I always think this is a good idea to get an overview.

I just looked up on Fodors this restaurant suggestion I made last year.
Sankt Gertrudes Kloster - I still remember this restaurant from a visit about 10 yrs ago or more (there's not many restaurants I remember from anywhere!). My cousin went in June 2003 and said it was great. Terrific atmosphere and the food was very good.

Thanks for the suggestion....must be special to remember after 10 years.

I really enjoyed the Tivoli Gardens. Beautiful park setting, restaurants, shops, outdoor music theatres, plus the amusement park rides.

Hi PC,

You might want to consider a daytrip to Roskilde for the Viking Ship Museum and the Cathedral and another trip to Hillerod for the Castle.

You'll be fine without a car, as public transportation is very good. Aside from the other good suggestions, take a canal ride if the weather is nice.

I'm jealous, I wish my company would send me there on business.... :-(

Yes, the canal rides are a great idea. The Resistance Museum is worth a visit.

What isn't worth a visit, other than to have a good laugh: Ripley's Believe It or Not. But we got in for free on our Copenhagen Cards. That was one of the most ridiculous places I've ever seen, so I guess it was worth it in a way.

Will,

Did you believe it,......or not?
