Me and Mrs Southcoastowl are off to Copenhagen next week for the first time, any tips for "must see" and "must do" great appreciated.

Went in the 70's to see the 3-4 England game it was chaos! All I recall is something about pissing in a fountain and elephant beer.
Ps hope that helps.

Harbour Tour is really good.
It’s bloody expensive to eat and drink - the restaurants will not serve free tap water.
Don’t expect to go to legoland it’s about a six hour drive!
Enjoy

Loved the City, fantastic food, and beer...

Visit Freetown Christiania & you must go into one of the small tiny pubs full of fishermen by the docks, fantastic roll neck woolen jumpers old school style.

Love the city, been there 5 or so times.

Do you like meat? If you do, this place is like a big, informal food hall with the best meat and beer you could wish for. This whole area is hip, trendy and full of decent pubs, clubs and restaurants.

Also, for lunch, walk around (and PAST) Nyhavn. Lunch there is pricey and crap. Walk over the new bridge and go to Copenhagen Street Food. There are tons of absolutely amazing food stands.

Goto the hippy centre place - score some "legal" weed - then rent a bike and spend £££ in the expensive cafes

World food market on the river is a must.

Looked at the map and it appears to be no more than three minutes walk from our hotel

I live in Paris, trust me I'm looking forward to only paying €7 for a pint.

I went in there for when I was on my stag... dressed as wonderwoman. Great beer though and they didn't kick me out!

Don’t bother with the Little Mermaid statue - the most disappointing statue in the world. Pop over to Sweden over the Bridge from the TV series - Malmo is a nice place to visit nearby

Fantastic city. Plan to walk or ride everywhere (most hotels have bikes to hire).
Great cafes for breakfast and lunch, not too pricey

Nyhavn is pricey but worth it to hang about and drink a few beers outside with blankets over you.

Recommend Bror as a good restaurant for a special meal without costing a year's wages. Run by two brothers who trained at Noma.

The small mermaid's nothing to write home about but the walk up there is fantastic. Enjoy!

Oh - and if you break your ankle (as i did) whilst out there, the Danish NHS has some lovely nurses.....
