Depending on your fitness level there are many ways to see
Copenhagen. As I have said before, Copenhagen is easy to see by walking. If you
divide the city into sections from the city center walking should not be a
problem. See the Amalienborg Palace, Strøget, Nyhavn, Canal Tour,
Frederiks Church and over to the Little Mermaid in one day and visit Tivoli, Rosenborg
Castle, the Kings Park and the Lakes on another day. That will leave you other
days to trek outside the city to see the other castles, the Viking Museum and
maybe a trip to Malmo, Sweden.
There is another option that could be fun.
Throughout Copenhagen are bike stands where you can pick up bikes to ride
around the city and drop off at any other bike stand. The bikes are locked and
all it takes is a 20 Kroner coin to unlock the bike. You have the bike for as
long as you want. When you are done with the bike, find another bike stand and
lock the bike. When you lock the bike the lock will spit out a 20 Kroner coin. So
the bike rental is free! Copenhagen is a biking city with bike lanes
everywhere you go. Most people that live and work in Copenhagen don’t own a car
so they bike to work. When the weather is nice and you are up to it this is a
great option for you to see the city.
As always you can always find a taxi or take the
hop-on/hop-off bus. Both are great options for you to see the city when your mobility
is limited.
A side note: This isn’t related to travel but
grocery stores have the same concept for shopping carts as the free bike
rental. Shopping carts are all locked together. When you need one it takes a 20
Kroner coin to unlock. When you bring the cart back you get your 20 Kroner
back. You don’t see shopping carts scattered all over the parking lot or down
the street. Why can’t we do that here?
