    I am enjoying your videos and they are very informative! Thank you very much! My first time to Copenhagen will be coming up for 3 1/2 days near the City Central Station. Arriving early in the morning on May 26th and leaving in the evening on May 29th to Oslo. Haven't seen if you have videos on Oslo , but will be checking!
    Architecture, statues, and fountains are my main interest! So, I have the Palace, Castle, and churches on my list to see. The Round Tower is definitely on my list for the view of the city!
    The City Card is for only 2 days, but also noticed it includes a lot of attractions. I've also watched videos about the On Off Buses with 3 day tickets and trying to determine which route to go to save on the walking. I'm debating staying in the Copenhagen area, because there is so much to see. But, the amount of walking I save, I may be able to use the 3rd day for "Frederiksborg Castle" or "Malmo and Lund Cathedral". Then the half morning before leaving to walk around the city center for stuff I did not get a chance to see.

    you're so right about not taking cash. i especially converted some krone to take and nowhere I went would accept it. and I tried to find a way to pay for train tickets with it and it's impossible as no ticket machines take it ( as you say) and the stations are all unstaffed.

    • @destinationwellknown
      @destinationwellknown  16 дней назад +1

      Hiya, thanks a lot! There are multiple nightlife areas in Copenhagen. Some of the more tourist-friendly parts are around Vestergade (metro stop Rådhuspladsen) or Gothersgade (metro stop Kongens Nytorv). But you could also check out the bars in a place like the Meat Packing District (metro stop Copenhagen Central St). We don't really have "one place" to go for nightlife tbh - all the good bars are pretty spread out, but the clubs are more or less all within the city centre.
