Well, I'm a Dane living in Denmark; and I think it's great to learn that most people only have nice things to say about my country. I'm obviously not that objective when it comes to Denmark - but I sure like it here. I don't think it rains as much here as in Britain; and we don't have as many subways as in Britain. As has already been mentioned Copenhagen has a long pedestrian shopping street called Strøget. That's a really great street with shops for every taste. It's got a great atmosphere. Then of course there are all the buildings that King Christian IV built. They're a characteristic of Copenhagen and worth visiting. Then there are castles and other buildings worth seeing. But you better get a tourist guide as I don't know what interests you more: history, culture or whatever. But you're definitely welcome in Denmark:-)

I've been to Denmark & to Copenhagen. Copenhagen is a nice place to visit - safe & friendly - if a little expensive. Eating & shopping are very good and the main sights would include the royal palace & changing of the guard, the Little Mermaid statue in the harbour, the Nyhavn area and trips on the canal system. There are good rail links to the airport, Elsinore (where you will find Hamlet's castle) & Roskilde (which has a viking ship museum) as well as ferries to Malmo in Sweden. You can, also, take tours of the Tuborg & Carlsberg breweries.
Take a look at the link below for more info.

Nice place. defineately. But Is something rotten in Denmark? Its certainly expensive like Britain. Danish society while tolerant, cultured and polite like the Brits, and more fun loving than the Swedes is still Slightly elitist with stratification of wealth and class concealed in the layer of the egalitariansim, generous welfare state. Its safer and more efficient and orderly than London. Though recently (this year) there have been more housing riots and terror threats. Denmark admires Britain greatly i think in guiding its foreign and monetary policy.

Peak season in August, November to December very cold and food is not cheap. I suggest you buy the Copenhagen card. It is affordable and gives you free entrance to lots of museums, attractions and free transportation. It is only 199 Kroner or 29 Euros.

I found the Danes to be friendly, but like everywhere you need to be careful with your personal belongings. They have a way of sharing bikes which I think is marvellous. Plus they kept their own currency, like Britain (which is why I haven't been back, I mean, who'd want the hassle, but anyway ...). Drinking out is a bit expensive. But it's a pretty multicultural place, so you're likely to get meals from all over the world.
You know what? Get yourself a DK Eyewitness guide. They are really helpful when it comes to city trips.

I have been there a few times.
Copenhagen is nice, if not a bit touristy in places. The public transport is years ahead of the UK. If you fly in, there is a great Rail link from the Airport to the main Rail station. If you get time, try the Train to Sweden.
You will have a great time. Enjoy!

Copenhagen is lovely, and in addition to what the other two has said, it is cheaper than other scandinavian capitals. They also have the longest pedestrian shopping mall called the stroget I think.
