The Amsterdam thread made me do a title search for where I'm heading: Copenhagen, but no dice.
I found myself thinking about tapping the awesome that are those here for my upcoming destination: Copenhagen.
No plans between when I land and when I sail, 5 nights later. Taking a red-eye, so the first day is shot, so 4 full days. All I've done so far is look at AirBnb (sooo many choices, and I've never done one, but determined to try it or something like it). As for our travel style/preferences, we've stayed in city center and only did public transport / walking to do the tourist thing (taxi's if we have luggage). We've also rented a car and stayed in a less populous area (aka one where you can park the car!), then driven around to see things. I didn't know what would work in Copenhagen. Car cost is about $30/day, so very reasonable.
I'm not a huge fan of museums and old buildings, but a little of that needs to be there for DW. I wish she was more outdoorsy, but for DW's sake, any outdoor stuff would need to be limited to a few hours at a time, but I'm into nature. I kind of like old civil engineering stuff, like I went out of my way to find aqueducts and the like, in past travels.
As for eating, we often use breweries and exceptional beer places to get us places, then find a nice eatery nearby if the beer place isn't one. We're more interested in finding a smaller place, respected by the locals, but not real fancy. We're not going to gravitate to the 100th floor snobby place with the million dollar view. Not that we wouldn't like the view, but we'd go for just that.
So, ideas for simple, yet memorable activities that say "Copenhagen" (or Denmark...you get the picture). What did you do/see that you have fond memories of?
