Copenhagen Travel Tips

We might as well admit it: We have quite a few quirky traditions in Denmark. For instance, we have these special letters that we send out around Easter that we call 'gækkebreve'. 🐣
Sending a letter is a very personal gesture because we cut the paper in a variety of patterns. The text itself has to rhyme, and the sender signs the letter by spelling out its name in dots, so the recipient has to guess who send the letter. If the recipient guesses correctly, he will receive a chocolate Easter egg. If he is mistaken, he has to buy the sender one. (Forget the lottery, these letters are high risk, high reward! 🎰)

Who would you send a 'gækkebrev' to? ✉

The Københavns Museum is the local history museum of Copenhagen. It is a small museum but fun to visit. It's free on Wednesdays.

It has only been open since early February 2020 and like all museums in Denmark is now closed again until end of March 2020.

The small Musikmuseet, the national museum of music in Copenhagen, displays mostly musical instruments from Denmark, Europe, and the world. It is a delight to visit.

A wonderful place to visit with several fun museums and show gardens in addition to the magical castle. Absolutely worth a day trip or weekend away from Copenhagen.

This is the stuff that fairy tales are made of 🧚 Egeskov Castle on the pretty, green island of VisitFyn is one of Europe’s finest Renaissance buildings and on top of that, its historic gardens has been nominated by CNN Travel as one of the 12 most spectacular gardens in the world (yes, in the world!). But don't just take their word for it, go see for yourself and bring the family along for a magical day in south Fyn 🏰

Wait, what's this?! Is Santa testing new present delivery methods?

Don't be silly! It's the annual World Santa Claus Congress taking place at the world's oldest amusement park, Dyrehavsbakken 😁 Every summer, a jolly group of Santas from all over the world gather at Dyrehavsbakken north of Copenhagen to spread the Christmas joy. If you happen to be around next year, you can join in on the festivities, watch magnificent parades, and help keep the Christmas spirit alive all year along with all the Santas, their wives and the Christmas elves 🎅🎄💝

Utagawa Hiroshige II created this three-part print in 1861. The image is inspired by a picture of Frederiksberg Palace in Copenhagen that was published in a London newspaper. Around the mid-19th century, some Japanese artists started to design their prints based on illustrations in foreign newspapers. This triptych was aimed at audiences in Japan – it combines different elements to convey a general image of the West rather than attempting to depict a specific place or country. The women shown here wear structured crinoline skirts that were fashionable between the 1840s and 1860s, and the men wear long beards – also in vogue at the same time. http://ow.ly/RDsi30ky4hF

How to decorate like a Viking

To begin with you will need a handy Viking paint chart. Luckily, archaeologists in Denmark have just made one.

The Trapholt Museum of Modern Art and Design on the banks of the Kolding fjord is one of the most popular museums in Denmark. It famously has Denmark's largest collection of designer chairs. It is great stopover when traveling through the Jutland peninsula - it is only minutes from the Storebelt bridge.

Public transportation is the cheapest way to travel to the passenger boat cruise terminals in Copenhagen from the airport, station or downtown. Self-guided port day excursions are easy and cheap by walking or using buses in Copenhagen.

Getting to downtown København from Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is easiest, fastest and cheapest by metro or train. Buses are less convenient and taxis are relatively expensive. Uber is banned.

You won't believe what kind of click-bait, we tend to create in Denmark. Luckily The Epic Events has made this guide for Københavns Sprogcenter 😉

Anyone who can relate to these observations made by The Epic Events? 😅

28 Jahre, 2 Monate und 26 Tage: Heute ist die Mauer genauso lange weg, wie sie trennte. Auch wenn ab Ziele wie Kopenhagen oder Helsinki angeflogen wurden, waren sie für die meisten Bürgerinnen und Bürger der DDR unerreichbar. Seit dem 9. November 1989 ist das Vergangenheit!

At the start of 2016, admission to many Swedish national museums became free (at more or less the same time the Danish started to charge for similar museums). Large national museums such as the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm are best appreciated in a couple of visits - it simply contains too much information to take in in one go.

The Swedish History Museum is one of the top sights to see in Stockholm. Exhibitions include the Vikings and a lot of treasure – all seen for free.
