"Copioushaven" Copenhagen by richiecdisc

Copenhagen Travel Guide: 3,848 reviews and 9,698 photos

I’d like to be able to say I spent a week in Copenhagen, visiting all the tourist sights, but the truth of the matter is, it was merely a day trip from Sweden where we were visiting friends. And if that weren’t bad enough, the day started off with a brewery tour at Tuborg. It proceeded from there to being nothing but a pub crawl after meeting up with a young Dane we’d met in New Zealand on our glacier climb and later saw multiple times on the Aussie circuit. So, though I’m sure Denmark is an amazing country with ample sights, and it’s capital of Copenhagen seemed a great place to spend some time, our trip there was short and maybe more fun than sweet.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Lots of beer
Cons:Too much beer
In a nutshell:Beer can change one's views of the city immensely

Glad you had at least a short visit to Copenhagen -- better than none at all. I had a great time when I was there last year.

I have the same fish-eyed view of Copenhagen-too many beers from the Carlsborg Beer factory! I met a lad at the beer tables who was on his way to Russia. 3 weeks later we met again by chance on an plane in England heading to Baltimore! Weird, small world!

I really must get to a brewery trip there one day. I go to Copenhagen quite often but still haven't found the brewery.

Denmark is a fun place...don't see it as a cheap place to drink...paid $9.50 for a beer at the airport in '97!

Good thing you didn't have a Norwegian along, or you would have heard a 3-way argument LOL (all in good nature) :-)
