Travel report with tips for your trip to Denmark and Copenhagen
Discover new countries and cultures. Discover new flavours. All this awaits you when you travel to Denmark with b-ceed. We travelled on your behalf to Denmark
and beautiful Copenhagen, and have summarised our experiences in this travel report, together with a few tips. We had one night and two days on site and made the most of them. A second night would certainly have made room for even more wonderful experiences.
Our tip to start with:
Exchange euros for Danish kroner locally. The exchange rate between the euro and the Danish krone is approximately 7,43 DKK. Of course, this fluctuates from time to time, so I recommend checking the latest exchange rate when you arrive. Exchanging money in Denmark is really straightforward. It’s best to ask at your hotel. Exchanging money there is usually free, too.
Explore Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark
Denmark is always worth a trip. We chose Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, as our specific destination. Easy to reach, with plenty to experience and a colourful range of options.
We followed the myth that Copenhagen is the world’s most liveable city and travelled to Denmark.
How can you travel from Germany to Denmark?
Before setting off, we naturally looked into the best way to get from Germany to Copenhagen. Copenhagen is “easy” to reach by car, coach, train or plane. As well as the cost, the journey time was naturally important to us. After comparing the options, we quickly realised that flying was the best choice. At 190 € for a return trip and an hour’s flight, compared with almost 400 € and 1 day of travel by train, it was an easy decision. The team set off from Germany to Copenhagen with luggage, a travel guide and plenty of excitement. After a one-and-a-half-hour direct flight from Düsseldorf, we landed in Copenhagen. We then took a taxi straight to the city hotel, “Hotel Savoy”.
Highlights of Denmark’s capital
We had naturally made arrangements for our trip to Denmark, so our German-speaking tour guide met us right at the hotel. On our walking tour of Copenhagen, we experienced fascinating architecture, plenty of green spaces and a colourful harbour.
As well as visiting one of Copenhagen’s oldest shops, Perch’s Tea Shop at Kronprinsensgade 5, we also explored the city from the water. We saw the canals and harbour from a new perspective by kayak. A brilliant tip from our tour guide and a must for every Trip to Copenhagen
. If the weather is bad, an alternative is Cisternerne – the Museum of Glass Art. The only museum lit by daylight, housed in Copenhagen’s underground drinking-water cisterns.
Our recommendation:
Pack comfortable shoes, as you can do most things in Copenhagen on foot. Of course, Segways or bicycles are also an alternative.
Danish beer on your trip to Copenhagen
A travel tip for your trip to Denmark is the “Old Carlsberg Brewery” in the Valby district. The brewery entrance is flanked by two imposing, five-metre-high granite elephants. This is where the art of modern Danish brewing began in 1847. At a beer tasting, we sampled various beers from the Carlsberg Brewery and the Jacobsen Brewery
. A beer expert introduced us to the subject in depth and explained the processes. This really is part of every trip to Copenhagen.
Culinary Copenhagen – a journey through Danish cuisine
The city’s charm continued at mealtimes, too. At Grøften, one of the oldest restaurants in Tivoli amusement park, we enjoyed traditional Smørrebrød. Simply delicious. In the evening came the highlight of our trip to Denmark. A Nordic 3-course menu on board a ship. The sights glowed with vibrant colours, and the service team took care of even the smallest request.
Plenty of reasons to travel to Denmark
Our verdict: Copenhagen is always worth a trip. We made some wonderful memories, even though we were only there for two days. We were treated to a host of wonderful sights and activities, and were completely convinced. That’s why we decided to add Copenhagen as a destination to our website. Whether you’re travelling with 5 or 50 people, treat yourself to delicious food on your trip to Denmark’s capital, discover wonderful places and round off your trip to Copenhagen in the evening at one of its many bars.
