Really enjoy your videos on Denmark. Thank you! First time vacationing in Copenhagen from May 27 to June 2, 2024. Looking forward to this trip!

[@destinationwellknown]

Thanks a lot, Warren! That's close to the ideal time to visit Denmark, in my opinion 🙌 I wish you a great trip 🇩🇰

[@warrenparlee8083]

@@destinationwellknown Thank you! I plan to follow many of your recommendations. Metro from the airport. Lodging and restaurants in the Vesterbro section. Arranged a private room at Urban House Copenhagen by Meininger due to close proximity to Central Station and easy access to The Meatpacking District.

[@destinationwellknown]

@@warrenparlee8083 Great idea! I actually stayed there once when I lived in another city (for a short period), and it's a brilliant hotel. Perfect location, so you can walk to a lot of the good stuff.

How was the trip ?

@@-Rishikesh it was excellent! Love Copenhagen. Many of your ideas were incorporated in my travel plans. Thank you!

As a English person living in Copenhagen, I can endorse all of these points. Wish I'd known the taxi one when we first came.

loving your videos so much! im going to be visiting soon so i really appreciate your advice!

Thank you so much 🙌

I’m arriving on Monday for a week! I’ll take cold grey weather over the 40C days we are having in Sydney at the moment!

[@destinationwellknown]

We should swap then! 😀 Btw, you’ve gotta get a ‘fastelavnsbolle’ - you’re coming in just the right time for those seasonal baked treats. Just in case you didn’t know (your name does sound pretty danish) 🇩🇰

[@shanehicks3814]

@@destinationwellknown are there any must go to restaurants or cafes? Also is there any pastries that you must try when in Copenhagen?

[@destinationwellknown]

@@shanehicks3814 I'd suggest getting smørrebrød (traditional Danish lunch) from one of these places: destinationwellknown.com/smorrebrod-copenhagen/ Tbh I'm not big on pastries so I'm the wrong guy to ask here :D

[@babieelizabeth4895]

I will really want to visit😮

[@destinationwellknown]

Good idea - Copenhagen is great 🙌

[@user-nz8rc6jx3f]

And also no matter the time of the year BRING A JAKKET bring shoes and bring warm clothes, not necessarily winter jackets but rainproof clothes. Even in the summer the weather is unpredictable and it rains a lot so bring warm clothes.

[@destinationwellknown]

Very good tip 🤝

[@jeremyspecce]

Just got back from Copenhagen (and other parts of Denmark) Can confirm we did not once need cash anywhere we went. I had some US currencey and a little bit of Euro in case i was in a real pinch. I wound up throwing 15 Euro on the table after we had an exceptional experience with a waiter at a restaurant in Aarhus.

[@Tommen1957]

Thank you for your excellent videos 🙏. Where can you buy the Fred Perry fleece you are wearing? 😄

[@destinationwellknown]

Thanks a lot! Hahaha, it's actually a jacket. I got it in the Fred Perry store in New York 6 years ago and I just tried to find it online, but couldn't find it in their webshop. If you look up "Fred Perry Half Zip Logo Jacket" you might find it ✌️

[@srl-jr2289]

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.

[@KlausKokholmPetersen]

There is actually one decent place to eat at Strøget: Shawarma House. It's propably one of the most expensive Shawarma places in Copenhagen, but it's actually really good.

[@poulha]

I second that. Been a regular on and off since early 80s. Never disappoints, and for a fair price.

[@KlausKokholmPetersen]

@@poulha it's propably the most expensive shawarma in Denmark.... 🤣

[@poulha]

@@KlausKokholmPetersen True - but fair to quality

I'll be there for a day off of a cruise ship. Good info!

Thanks 🙏

[@johnsnow5264]

Most important advice for vacation anywhere in Scandinavia: only visit in June/July/August. The rest of the year is depressing, dark, cold and terrible.

[@destinationwellknown]

Spot on 😫😀

[@hoegild1]

great advice!

[@destinationwellknown]

Thank you!

[@tonyle2475]

Thanks for the tips. I have never been to Copenhagen. I will be there last week of sept. Hopefully, the weather is not to cold or rainy 😮

[@destinationwellknown]

Thank you 🙏

[@nefariou5]

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]

Yeah we're basically cashless these days

[@nippynorm2408]

Just started watching your channel,making notes on things. We are coming around the 19th of may 2025 what do you think the weather will be like then.

[@destinationwellknown]

Good to have you here 🤝 May is USUALLY pretty nice. Sometimes Summer has already started, and you can have +20 degrees and sunny days, but tbh, you just never know here in Scandinavia. I'm usually in shorts from the beginning of May though :)

[@erikhn9331]

Shawarmaen på Strøget er en undtagelse - den første der ligger på venstre hånd når man kommer fra Rådhuspladsen. Der er altid fuldt af sultne danskere og kvaliteten er i top 👍Legendarisk sted der har ligger der i 40 år 😊

[@KlausKokholmPetersen]

Nok også det eneste der er værd at besøge på Strøget!

[@nerdgurl402]

I keep hearing that we don’t need to bring cash but I also heard that customs will ask to see cash as proof before they will allow entry

[@destinationwellknown]

What? I think it's the opposite - if you carry over 75k DKK in cash, you must complete all kinds of paperwork...

[@nerdgurl402]

@@destinationwellknown that makes more sense

I find your video concise but informative. Can you help with local government sites that provides the full list of the etiquette and cultural expectations (local customs) in Denmark with the exception of your site which is great though!

Stop being stubborn? 😂

Its really cozy, specifically around xmass period, with lights, fairs, xmass street food and so on, but it doesn't change the terrible weather haha

I'm okay with terrible weather, I'm used to it. A good cup of glogg will help things, I'm sure. I'll be staying not far from the Meatpacking district and the Central Station.

Hi, what are the metro station stop for nightlife in Copenhagen? Top video I really enjoy it.

[@destinationwellknown]

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.

[@giak851]
