Copenhagen

I would appreciate any tips on places to see and lunch spots for a weekend trip to Copenhagen. Also hoping to see the Irish rugby match if anyone has a recommendation of a good place to watch it?

The Dubliner, good big screens, spacious place, decent atmosphere, good staff and nice food and easy to get to...

Which one? There’s two pubs called the Dubliner in Copenhagen

They’re both actually pretty good pubs. The one at Amagertorv is more popular and busier. The other one on Ny Østergade is quieter and I’m not sure if they serve food. Both are actually owned by a Scottish lad who owns the Scottish Pub near Tivoli!

Just stay away from the one called “old Irish pub” because it’s a rip-off and not in any way an authentic Irish pub. It just happens to be in a very popular tourist area.

None of them are authentic Irish pubs.

Can you name a few 'authentic' Irish pubs in foreign cities?

Eh, that was my point?

The big bridges, hamlet's castle (kinda), Christiana are all good. The biggest aquarium in Northern Europe is actually a bit small and boring. Don't remember what else we did, the onlyblet-down was the aquarium.

It's expensive to eat out so self catering is a good choice for accommodation.

Eh? The post you quoted mentioned three 'Irish' pubs in Copenhagen and you said .....

If what you really meant was that there are no authentic Irish pubs outside Ireland (which I agree with 100%) then maybe you should have been more explicit and said so. The notion of going to another country and spending time in an 'Irish' pub reminds me of the British tourist who goes to Spain and spends his whole holiday swilling beer in an 'English' pub while watching footie on Sky Sports while wolfing down roast beef and Yorkshire pudding!

Hire a bike and use the bus tour map as your route guide

Bring enough food to last you the weekend from wherever you're travelling from.

What I meant by “authentic” is that the pub has the look and feel of a pub from Ireland, serves Irish drinks, and has Irish people working there. The Dubliner pubs in Copenhagen fulfill that criteria but there are a lot of places around the world that call themselves an “Irish Pub” but are far from it.

Like it or not, an “Irish Pub” is a type of pub that can be found anywhere even outside of Ireland. Is an Italian restaurant actually not an Italian restaurant if it’s not located in Italy? Should we tell all the Chinese and Indian takeaways that they are not actually Chinese or Indian?

Quality spot but rather expensive!

Some fantastic beers

Oh and if you are planning on seeing Copenhagen on foot, watch out for the cyclists. Trust me

Head through the Red Light District to the Turkish Quarter for some of the BEST kebabs at very reasonable prices.

The Globe is a good pub for rugby. Some great craft beer bars in Copenhagen if you're into it. Mikkeller have their own bar that is worth a visit.

Dispensary Whiskey and Beer Bar is a lovely bar if you're that way inclined.

Food in supermarkets is not expensive in Denmark. Neither is booze.

Shamrock Bar is owned by a Limerick woman married to a Dane.It has been in Copenhagen for 30 Years but moved location ( around the corner ) in 2012.

Much quieter than the Dubliner and frequented by locals rather than tourists.

Other than that, if you're in Copenhagen a visit to Christiania is a must.

Hey, I am heading to Copenhagen next weekend and I am reading conflicting reports about Tivoli Gardens. Online, their website says that it not open until April, but then I can see others who are walking through the park. Is just the park part of the it open where you can walk around inside, but the actual theme park rides are not operating? Do you still have to pay entry if you are just walking around?

Sorry can't offer anything on the Tivoli. But I will suggest for anybody in Copehagen, visit Smagsloeget sandwich shop. Unreal!!

That Sandwich place was amazing. That one sandwich was breakfast, lunch and dinner for me!!

By sheer coincidence, I'm staying in the hotel beside that sandwich place, I think. Near the Lidl yeah?

GBX

Yeah that's the spot beside Lidl.

They close for winter (can’t help with dates I’m afraid) but open up for a few weeks around Christmas. The park is self contained ie you need a ticket to enter so it’s odd you can see people walking around unless they open it to public while rides are closed
