Yeah the factory is open to tourists, it's a good trip to do. I think you will get 1-2 free drinks at the end of the tour. I've also done the Malmo trip, its quite quick around 40mins on the train. I didn't think Malmo was as pretty as Copenhagen to walk around but worth a trip anyways. Also book the train asap and it increases in price the later you book it. There's a nice market Torvehallerne near Norreport station its nice and worth a visit. Don't bother with the little mermaid, complete rubbish. You can get 72hr train/metro/bus ticket which if your travelling around a bit is worth getting at around 200kr. A visit out to Roskilde is also worthwhile, think around 1hr on the train. Very pretty fjord village and a good Viking visitor centre where you can have a go trying to row an old Viking wooden boat - good craic.

Cheers thanks for that will look at booking train and cost of it. I do remember last time seeing the Little Mermaid and thinking is that it :rolleyes: However others may want to see it

Will also have a look at Roskilde. Only there for 4 full days so hope to get as much in as I can

I got a tour boat to see the sights, thought it was a great way to see the city

Liked Rosenborg Castle or "Slot" thought it was good, liked it and it was pretty quick to see all the rooms.

I'm going to Copenhagen in two weeks and will have about 6 days in the city. I arrive on Friday and leave the following Saturday with a two day trip to Bergen in the middle of the week (one day for a fjord tour, one day for exploring the city).
I'm taking on board what everyone has said about Copenhagen's food scene, but I don't drink, I'm traveling alone and I live in San Francisco, so I feel like it won't be too shocking.
I'm not much of a nightlife person. I like to explore cities, see cultural attractions, find places with beautiful scenery. That said, it sounds like I might have some room to do one or two day trips. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm just back from a weekend there. Great city, I really enjoyed it. The weather was beautiful, blue skies and 25 degrees. Though it will be a bit hit and miss up until June apparently.

Day trip wise, you can take a 6 hour day trip to Malmo on a 15 person bus, same crowd who run the Hop On/Hop off buses run it.

Also, the ticket information kiosk inside the train station (on the right as you go in the right-most door) offer a special rate for getting both the Hop On/Hop off buses and entrance to Tivoli.

Fireworks in Tivoli start at 11:45pm, so if you got in there for 6/7pm you'd have plenty of time.

Next time I'm back I'm renting my own boat and doing a DIY picnic in the canal.
