Copenhagen Travel Guide: Introduction

Heyyy MyBreakingViewers, and welcome to my third edition of A Day with MBV Series. Today I will be talking about my recent trip to Copenhagen! I was pleased with this trip because, as you know I’m one ½ of @BTravelCreators; and was able to collaborate with @Traveleatslay. Here is A Copenhagen travel guide for a day trip to Copenhagen!

So let’s get into my day trip to Copenhagen. Below you will have a Copenhagen guide that will give you the best way to travel around Copenhagen, what to eat and things to do before going.

This trip was hella jokes, where does one even begin (I am literally beaming as I write this!) We had someone blasting music throughout the day. This really added to the mood, and the weather in Copenhagen was good, considering it was the end of February.

I can’t remember how much I spent that day. However, I have shared on other trips a good breakdown of costs (just this one I haven’t – I am truly sorry). Once you are in the city the best way to travel around Copenhagen is walking.

About Copenhagen

Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital, sitting on the eastern coast of the island of Zealand, with the city of Malmö in Sweden just a short train ride away across the Øresund Bridge. It’s consistently ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world, and a day trip to Copenhagen is just brilliant. It’s clean, walkable, easy to get around, and has that effortless Scandinavian mix of design, history, and laid-back charm.

The city is probably best known for Nyhavn, the colourful 17th-century harbour lined with brightly painted townhouses, boats, and waterside restaurants; it’s one of the most photographed spots in the city, and for good reason. From there, it’s easy to explore on foot or by bike, since Copenhagen is famously one of the most cycle-friendly cities anywhere, with dedicated bike lanes running through almost every street.

Sunday Munday

We started the day with some grub! What? A girl has got to eat! This was, in my opinion, an easy journey to the restaurant called Sunday Munday. This was a restaurant for waffle eaters, and get this, EVERYTHING is vegan. This was great for me as I decided to go vegan for the month, and it was my last day.

Nyhavn Harbour – coloured houses

Every time I think of Copenhagen, I always imagine seeing the pretty colourful houses. So when we landed, I was like I want pictures near the colourful houses and that we did! What I loved about the colourful buildings was the richness in colour. It really showed me that there is colour in the world. Which resonates with MyBreakingViews’ statement

Building Colour Into Your Travels

Interesting fact: Nyhavn is a 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is lined by brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants.

Cost – £0.00

Manon Les Suites – the hotel

Whilst eating at the restaurant on Sunday Munday. A staff member suggested we should head over to the Manon Les Suites, and so we did. The hotel, in one word, was breathtaking, and I will certainly be going back and staying at this hotel! When I am rich, of course!

Travel Tip: It is always good to listen to the locals. They should know their country a lot better than a tourist.

Cost – £0.00

Christiansborg Palace

It took us a while to find this place, and it seems the lifts/elevators in Copenhagen are slightly old-fashioned. When we finally got up there, you could see a good view of the country.

Interesting Fact: Christiansborg Palace is a palace and government building on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the seat of the Danish Parliament, the Danish Prime Minister’s Office, and the Supreme Court of Denmark.

Cost – £0.00

Dinner at Skipperkroen

We got a bus back to Nyhavn (colourful houses) to see if we could find somewhere to eat. We wanted to unwind while we waited for our plane. Note: There are quite a lot of restaurants in this area.

Now, remember when I said I was practising being a vegan for the month! This was a struggle when we got to this restaurant because they didn’t even know what it meant. I ended up having potatoes, some bread and veg – they added some fish. This clearly showed me that they didn’t know what veganism meant. I didn’t eat it ask anyone!

Cost – (more than £30 for veg potatoes and some bland fish)
