My son is going camping to Denmark in July - Anyone got any idea about the weather ther at this time? Not sure what sort of rating to get for his sleeping bag etc.
July is usually a very nice month in Denmark with some days of temperatures above 30C.
The nights are long and warm - ususally about 15C.
However it can rain - so the most important camping equipment will be a tent that can withstand heavy rain when a thunder shower pass.
Hi I%26#39;ll be in Denmark the lst 2 weeks in Sept. Is it true that it is about half the price for drink or food if you do takeout instead sitting in?
Not quite sure what you mean.
It sounds as if you%26#39;ve heard that you could go to any restaurant and get food and drink to go and then save 50 percent.
That is not the case. Many restaurants do not sell food or drink to go.
However it is true that generally prices at take away places are cheaper than in restaurants.
Hi,I am going to arrive at CPH Airport at 13:05 on 21/5/2009 at Terminal 2 and I want to take the train from CPH Airport to Copenhagen Central Station as I will stay at The Palace Hotel.
As I read in the past reviews, I have to go to Terminal 3 to catch the train wich costs 28.50 DKK per sigle which includes 3 zones and takeS 30 minutes.
My questions are:
1. Is it really cheaper than takeing a taxi directly to the hotel from the airport?
2.How to go from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3? Can I use te free bus or the distance is easy to walk and where can I foind the bus in Terminal 2?
3.I planning to go to Malmo on 22/5/2009, does the discounts card includes the trains To/From Malmo or not?
4.I will leave CPH Airport to Milan Malpensa on 24/5/2009 at 8:25 AM, is it ok to take the train back again and can I buy a return ticket from the airport or it%26#39;s better to take a taxi?
Thanks in advance for your help.
1. A lot. A taxi will run you around 200 DKK.
2. They are not huge and are connected. Easy walking distance. 5-7 minutes maximum.
3. Don%26#39;t know about that one. Someone else?
4. No need to buy a return. Just buy a ticket at central station. Again, a taxi is of course easy, but about 150-170 kroner more expensive than the train.
Thanks Don Thomas
Just at a supplement to the answer from DonThomas:
A one way ticekt for the trip from the airport to central Copenhagen is now 31,50 dkr but still way cheaper than a taxi.
The trip takes exactly 13 minutes - a lot faster than a taxi at most times of day.
All passengers leave the bagage claim in Terminal 3 - so even if you land at terminal 2 you will have walked to the terminal where the train stops before you go through customs.
And no discount cards like clip cards, Copenhagen Card or a 24 hour card does not cover the trip to Malmö.
You buy the ticket at the stations just before you want to go.
Thanks Andrea your reply really added value..it is highly appreciated

I am studying abroad in Copenhagen and I would like to go to this Island. Could someone help me out and let me know what there is to see there and how do you get there? Do you know of a tour company that will book this trip?
Samsø is a beautiful spot to visit with some of the most exciting nature to discover in Denmark, small, cosy villages like Ballen with its fishing port and lively cafescene after dark, Nordby is another remarkable village on the northern part of the island, once voted the most beautiful village in all of Europe, I believe. Catch the train from CPH to Kalundborg, the ferry ride across to Samsø takes a few hours, bring your bike for transport - can go on the train and ferry. Visit: www.samsoeturist.dk for more detailed info. You should be able to arrange all on your own, its easy with the aid of the tourist bureau on Samsø. Have a good journey! (Used to live on Samsø some years back!)
What types of things can you do there?
I am studying abroad in Copenhagen and I am interested in a Rock climbing tour in Southern Sweden. Could someone give me some advice on a tour company and the best location to do this?
Not meening to be rude or anything, but are You aware that Copenhagen is not a part of Sweden - It%26#39;s the capitol of Denmark. Many poeple think that Copenhagen are a swedish city, part of Germany, or something like that.
That%26#39;s not the case.
I suggest that You ask Your question in a swedish forum - like e.g. Stockholm forum (capitol of Sweden). I think You%26#39;ll get better answers there.
Have a nice rockclimbingtrip - Sweden is sure a perfect place for such activities.
Ough - just noticed that You study here, so offcourse You know in which country CPH lies in. But I%26#39;ll still recommend thatyou ask on a Swedish forum. Don%26#39;t know if there are forums for any of the towns in southern Sweden.
I did ask this in a Sweden forum as well, however, I wanted to ask in this forum as well because I am sure Copenhagen people do this as well. Thanks for the info
Can anyone could recommend a good and inexpensive place to try smorrebrod near Tivoli (but not inside)? A food court or take out type place is even better, because I%26#39;d like to make it a quick lunch. For a more specific budget, how about under 60 DKK...
I did search, but I didn%26#39;t see any places that were near where I will be or within my budget, but I could have missed something.
Thanks,
PolarBear
Hmm, this is a tough one. There is a take-out place very close to Tivoli on Vesterbrogade - right in front of the central train station, next to the SAS Royal. However, I have read some bad reviews about the place but haven%26#39;t tried it myself. You could perhaps stop by and have a look at the window display and judge for yourself?
Also, in the area is Ritz smørrebrød on vester voldgade 8, right by Rådhuspladsen. Haven%26#39;t had first hand experience at that one either since they always seem to be closed when I am around, but have heard that it is quite ok and prices are reasonable.
The best place to get take out smørrebrød in CPH is hands down Aamands on Østre Farimagsgade. This is nowhere near Tivoli, but if you happen to be in the area (e.g to see the SMK art museum, the lakes or Østerbro)this is an absolute must. Smørrebrød and service is excellent, prices in the 40-50dkk range. Had take out from there myself today and it was very, very delicious, decorative and nicely packed. Not much help for you if you need to be near Tivoli, though.
Perhaps someone has first hand knowledge of the other two places?
Dear Polarbear,
You really have not tried smørrebrød if you get cheap stuff for take out, it%26#39;s just not the same sitting somewhere with food that%26#39;s inferior on a paper plate messing with a plastic knife and fork.
Part of the experience is to visit one of the nice older places like Told og Snaps, Huset med det Grønne Træ, Tivolihallen (close to Tivoli and a wonderful place)
Even a place like Grøften in Tivoli is part of the magic.
Hi mytravelquestion,
Thanks for your suggestions, that%26#39;s exactly what I was looking for. One place I%26#39;d found near
the station was called Bon Appetit, not sure if that is the one you mentioned on Vesterbrogade.
I will be closer to Aamands later in the day and had wanted to go there based on good reviews I%26#39;ve seen, but the issue is that I%26#39;m in Copenhagen for a very short time, and around lunch I will be arriving from the airport, heading towards my accommodations near Tivoli.
Hi Andreadoria56,
I%26#39;m in Copenhagen a very short time, less than 24 hours on a stopover. I feel it is a more effective use of my time to just try smorrebrod quickly so I can spend more of my afternoon visiting attractions with limited hours. I%26#39;m not looking for the full experience this time.
Thanks,
PolarBear
Hello again,
I know where Bon Appetit is located, but I thought it was more of a sandwich place, so had not thought of the place for smørrebrød. If they do indeed have smørrebrød this might be a good option for you. The one I thought of is on the opposite side of Vesterbrogade and a bit closer to Rådhuspladsen, next to a pharmacy and the SAS Royal. I walked past it the other day and it really did not look too exciting. Ritz on Vester Voldgade is just an additional 4 minute walk from there and it might well be worth the extra effort if Bon Appetit does not have smørrebrød.
Enjoy CPH
