I'm really just participating in the discussion, but I don't feel sorry for anyone here. I just see it the way it it. I know people here got their panties in a twist so I came here to irritate them.

jeez and I just came along to irritate you

Since this thread is now simply about Copenhagen could some of the Danes mention some of the most notable tourist attractions. MY long term plans involve a longish European vacation and its never too early to gather some information

You might want to visit the Tivoli

I could give it a try. Just how many hours are you going to spend here (several cruisers visit cph and the passengers havve 5-6 hours to see it all - though, doesn't think that it will be your method

). Anything that ticks, doesn't ticks ? Willing to travel for a thing (Denmark isn't that big - a car ride from cph to Skagen can be done in 5-6 hours). Time of year.

I am thinking 3-4 weeks to do Europe. I probably would not get to Northern or or Eastern Europe but would try to get in some of England, FRance, Spain, Portugal, Italy, germany and Denmark. I realize you could spend 3-4 weeks (or 3-4 months for that matter) on any one of those countries.

Time of year ? I'd probably try latesummer, early fall with the idea of canvassing the northern areas first and working my way south. Probably England first and ending in Italy or Spain. I don't want a winter visit and best would be something that is not the height of tourist season. Moderately pleasant weather would suffice

Travel method would be trains, rental cars and perhaps a bicycle tour or two-- maybe even a flight (ie Italy to Spain at the end)

Time in a given city-- will depend on any firm travel commitments but lets assume I have 3-4 days for Denmark-- which cities/ atractions Must I hit?

You missed my tick, not tick question - no reason to mention a lot of art galleries if you are more interested in steam engines.

Would Freetown Christiania be worth a visit?

If a relaxed walk studying old military barracks and some handmade housings in an green environment amongst relaxed people ticks, then yes, but if you expect to find "joint paradise made on earth", then no. The inhabitants isn't as colorful as they were for say 20 years ago.

Art Galleries? If you think they are the most amazing in all of Europe sure this will be a family vacation so two hours in an Art gallery has to be balanced with a few hours of something "fun". But my son thinks riding a train is "fun" and would think a museum was fun if it was a museum of trains or dinosaur bones or whatnot.

If it were a 25 day vacation I could see us wanting to spend every third to 4th day on a beach or at a park or anywhere low stress to decompress and get ready for the more active days. I would much rather " see" a little less and enjoy it more. AS I say that I am thinking that Spain/Portugal may have to wait for the next trip

Ok, I'll try to collect some info/links - may take a while.

**BlackCat** · March 9, 2007, 14:32

Same city : technical museum (you have to find the english page yourself) : http://www.tekniskmuseum.dk/

If you want to go stoneage : http://www.english.lejre-center.dk/

More in the Århus area : http://www.moesmus.dk/default.asp?co...ED2457E4D1&zcs=4

The old city in Århus : http://www.dengamleby.dk/english.htm

If you want to do city walks, I think that Copenhagen and Arhus probably are the best with the short time.

A link to more genral tourist info : http://www.visitdenmark.com/usa/en-u...istforside.htm

When I volouteered to answer your question, I thought "easy" - rien de problem. Well, the problem is that you could spend a month here and still miss something interesting just a couple of hours away

Another disturbing thing was that when I visit another country/city, I prefer to walk the streets and see how the locals live - maybe I should get a wife and some children

Sadly, the open sale of drugs is a thing of the past, too. While Christiania might be interesting to a tourist, I'm thinking 'free-range museum' rather than 'interesting social experiment' whenever I go.

Unlike Ungdomshuset, I expect Christiania to die slowly but steadily.
