Copenhagen City Add-On

The old merchants’ port
 
Discover friendly Copenhagen, compact enough to explore on foot or by bike and a perfect add-on to an Inntravel holiday in Denmark. You have a choice of stylish, waterfront hotels and we include notes for a self-guided city walking tour.

Holiday information

 

Copenhagen

Visit Copenhagen and you will be struck by the omnipresence of the sea (København, as the Danes know it, translates as ‘merchants’ port’). And if the Baltic always feels close, so too does Sweden, not much more than a stone’s throw away on the other side of Øresund, a relatively narrow strait spanned by a bridge.

Water is not the only abundant feature. There are plenty of parks and green spaces, as well as a wide range of museums and galleries, not to mention a wealth of royal palaces and castles, whose towers are, along with the spires of churches, the only thing to punctuate the otherwise flat skyline.
Unusually for a capital city, most of the main sights can be reached on foot, though you may prefer to do as locals do and get around by bike – Copenhagen is one of, if not the, most cycle-friendly cities in the world.

Sightseeing

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.
  • Notes for a self-guided walking tour included
    We provide notes for a self-guided walking tour, taking in the main sights. The Kastellet is one of the best preserved star fortresses in northern Europe, while the Amalienborg (the main residence of the Danish royal family) is considered to be the greatest example of Danish Rococo architecture. Another imposing building with royal connections is the Rosenborg Castle, which now boasts a fine collection of tapestries and the Royal Danish Collection, including the Danish crown jewels.

    The National Museum explores the history of the Danes from pre-history to modern times, and there are numerous other museums devoted to subjects as diverse as design, medical history and theatre – the latter is housed in an old opera house. Be sure to climb the city’s aptly named Round Tower for a bird’s-eye view of the capital.

    As you explore with our walking notes, you’ll learn about the influential figures who have shaped the city, the characters who have been honoured with statues, and much more – our notes provide the type of information you’d expect on a guided tour, with the advantage that you can explore at your own pace and detour as and when you wish.
  • Venture further afield by bike
    To explore beyond the city centre, it is well worth hiring bikes (the city operates a bike-sharing scheme, or alternatively you may be able to hire bikes from your hotel). Copenhagen is largely flat and has an extremely bike-friendly culture, so this is a great way to discover the canals of the stylish Christianshavn district, the green spaces of the Frederiksberg area to the west of the city centre, or even some of the beaches nearby.
 

Accommodation

Both hotels are ideally located for exploring the city. We provide suggestions for where to eat out in the documentation that we send you prior to your holiday.

    A most enjoyable and relaxing holiday. The accommodation was excellent - breakfasts at all hotels of very high quality, and the set dinners at the Gilleleje Badehotel were delicious. Cycling was varied and most enjoyable. Unfortunately the monastery at Esrum was closed but we had a coffee (at the adjacent watermill centre) and then linked onto the route to Hillerod. A few more coffee stop suggestions would be useful. Personally I would avoid the fish and chips at Hornbaek - it was disappointing. Some of the many highlights included: swimming in the sea at Snekkersten; friendly welcome and advice from Anette and Erik at Villa Brinkly; Kronberg Castle and Hamlet; cycling along the coast to Gilleleje; comfort of the Gilleleje Badehotel; the Copenhagen canal boat trip; and the other castles and museums in Copenhagen and Zealand. Varied and very well organised by Inntravel.

    We loved meeting the hosts, other guests and the locals, plus seeing all the interesting local and old houses, farms and villages that are off the beaten path for other visitors who do not cycle. The routed bike paths, both alongside roads and off road in Denmark are truly amazing, and we are envious (from UK and USA). We loved Frederiksborg castle, and spent a long time there - glad to be able to come back by train. The Hotel Strand was a great location for walking around Copenhagen, their breakfast was sumptuous and the guide provided in the Inntravel manual was excellent. We stayed out of the main season, which is fairly short in Denmark, so do read materials before you book in case you specifically want to visit an attraction that will be closed early or late season. For this specific trip, the first day has the most challenging 'off road' paths - the 40km route anyway, so be prepared or take the shorter option.

    This has been one of our best holidays ever... was pretty near perfect. Rental bikes were high end and new, Inntravel info excellent, Danish friendly and helpful, wonderful food, gorgeous scenery.... the list goes on. It was marvellous!

    Enjoyed our two visits to Sweden. The ferry to Helsinbourg was particularly easy, passports were needed. Train services were regular and efficient. The Danish were very helpful friendly and spoke excellent English. Enjoyed the trip to visit Carlsberg; the train to the Carlsberg station is a good alternative to the free shuttle especially if you have a travel pass or Copenhagen card. Denmark is ferociously expensive; use of supermarkets can save some money on snacks and meals.

    This holiday was just full of highlights for us. The restaurant Det Nye in Snekkersten was a revelation, cycling the forest paths and visiting Frederiksborg in time to watch the changing of the guard, seeing Helsingor (Elsinore) and eating Annette's delicious almond biscuits after a long ride in the rain... The spa at Badehotel in Gilleleje was so wecome it felt positively necessary, and we fell completely in love with Copenhagen, even though we never had a dry minute there! The museums are wonderful, particularly the National Museum which takes you through Danish history from its first settlers in a really engaging way. We never had a bad or even indifferent meal in Denmark, and everything in Copenhagen, from the excellent and inventive restaurant Radio in Julius Thomsens Gade to the local smorrebrod places on Nyhavn, was delicious. And do go to the covered market in Torvehallerne next to Israels Plads. It's a hymn to Danish food and flowers.
