Whether you re just-getting-to-know-you or celebrating many years of happiness together, you ll want your romantic weekend away to be just perfect. Copenhagen, with its delightful parks, sparkling canals orlando international airport car rental and delicious cuisine could fit the bill perfectly. orlando cheapest airline tickets on the net international airport car rental From the Tivoli pleasure gardens to fairytale turrets of the Rosenborg Palace, here are my suggestions for ways to spend your romantic weekend in Copenhagen, whatever your budget;
The best time to visit Copenhagen is from the spring through to the early autumn when the Copenhageners are out enjoying the green spaces, harbour walks and pavement cafes after the chilly Nordic winter. That s not to say that you won t find romance in a cosy cafe with flickering candles in the winter months up to Christmas or in February when the city puts on the Wondercool festival encompassing cheapest airline tickets on the net a jazz festival, the Copenhagen Cooking festival and many design events.
You ll find parks and green spaces all over Copenhagen, but the most romantic is considered to be the Kongens Have or Kings Garden in front of the fairytale turrets of the Rosenborg Palace , with a rose garden, formal hedged enclosures and the moat around the palace. Eat nearby at one of the inexpensive food stalls at the Torvehallerne cheapest airline tickets on the net Food Market or pick up something to eat from one of the deli stalls orlando international airport car rental and relax on the grass under the trees with a picnic. For a delighfully romantic cheapest airline tickets on the net restaurant orlando international airport car rental on the edge of the King s garden, try Orangariet which is set in the old orangery of the palace and serves smorrebrod at lunchtime and a set menu in the evening. While you re there take a look around the palace where all the rooms are furnished from the period of different kings of Denmark and see the crown jewels in the Treasury in the basement of the castle. The botanical garden cheapest airline tickets on the net with a lake and palm houses is right behind the Rosenborg Palace and is another orlando international airport car rental pretty place to have a picnic or go for a walk.
Tivoli is one of the treasures that Copenhageners of all ages hold dear to their heart, with landscaped gardens and lakes, the Moorish palace that houses the Nimb Hotel, roller-coasters and rides for the more daring and plenty of great restaurants. The parks has a slightly old-fashioned, fairy tale atmosphere orlando international airport car rental with bandstands where you can sit to listen to the music and a pantomime theatre where mime shows are performed. Visit in the afternoon to listen to the musical entertainments and stroll under the magical Chinese lanterns cheapest airline tickets on the net as dusk falls, then enjoy a meal in one of the many restaurants where you ll find everything from hot dogs and pizza, to traditional Danish and Nordic cuisine. In summer I recommend a romantic cheapest airline tickets on the net meal at the Brasserie in the Nimb Hotel where you can dine al fresco on the terrace overlooking Tivoli pleasure grounds.
Copenhagen cheapest airline tickets on the net is a city that s founded on the water and you re never far from one of the canals or the harbourside. A good way to get your bearings and see all the sights around the harbour is to take a harbour tour with DFDS or Netto boats, from the quays near Gammel Strand. If you want something more intimite, you can hire a rowing boat in Christianshaven and use it to explore the canals with all the houseboats on your own.
In summer join the Copenhageners sitting along the harboursides orlando international airport car rental and canal sides, dangling their legs or sitting on the steps outside the Royal Library, also known as the Black Diamond. Nyhaven is also a favourite spot for a stroll, with pretty coloured merchant cheapest airline tickets on the net houses and plenty of cafes to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere while the small bridge that crosses it has a collection of love locks similar to those found in Rome and Paris.
The art museum of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek is full of classical sculptures and French impressionist artworks is a romantic place to visit at any time of year, and it s free on Sundays or with a Copenhagen Card . Wander through the spacious orlando international airport car rental halls filled orlando international airport car rental with white marble statues from Danish neo-classical sculptors and see the impressionist collection that includes paintings by Renoir, Van Gough and Monet including the Degas Little Ballerina sculpture. At the centre of the building is a winter garden with glass roof and greenery with a cafe at one side that is a romantic place for lunch.
The Round Tower , in the Latin quarter is a fun place to visit for couples, as it s an easy climb up the internal ramp (no steps so the carriages were able to ride to the top) to get great views over Copenhagen from the top of the tower. Look out for the Kissing cheapest airline tickets on the net Bench near the top where you can sit with your loved one by the window with a view. Half way up there s also a large art space in the former cheapest airline tickets on the net library with a small cafe, and modern artworks and installations, where they also hold concerts and musical events.
For that special celebration we recommend the top end Alberto K in the landmark Royal Hotel (Now SAS Radisson Blu) designed by Arne Jacobson. orlando international airport car rental Although this is a blow-the-budget experience, you ll be dining in an intimite candle-lit restaurant on the top floor where every table has views over the city. For a similarly high end gastronomic experience, try the Mielcke og Hurtigkarl in the Frederiksberg Gardens with sparkling crystals dangling from the ceiling and views over the gardens. If you re looking for a romantic place to eat on a more moderate budget, try the colourful orlando international airport car rental but cosy dining room with a fireplace at Cap Horn in Nyhaven or Orangariet in the Kings Garden. If you enjoy jazz then check out The Standard , where the old Customs cheapest airline tickets on the net House near Nyhaven has been converted into three different restaurants and you can have dinner cheapest airline tickets on the net and then follow with the jazz performance in the club upstairs. If you re on a tight budget, we recommend the Tollerhallerne food halls at lunchtime, where you can squeeze in at one of the many stalls selling inexpensive lunchtime dishes or take them to eat on the benches outside in fine weather.
If money is no object for a luxurious romantic break then consider the Nimb Hotel at the Tivoli Gardens, with 17 individually furnished rooms filled cheapest airline tickets on the net with antiques or the classic and elegant Hotel d Angleterre where you ll feel like a princess. For those of us who have to live on a more realistic budget, try the Avenue cheapest airline tickets on the net Hotel in the affluent neighbourhood of Friederiksberg where we love the cosy atmosphere of their salon with Moroccan lanterns and flea market finds or the Axel Guldsmeden Hotel in trendy Vesterbro where contemporary design meets Balinese styling. If you and your loved one want to be truly alone then try the Central Hotel in Frederiksberg the smallest hotel in the world with just one room where breakfast is served in the retro neighbourhood cafe. To breathe some sea air, travel to the northern edge of Copenhagen for the Skovshoved Hotel with rooms decorated in light and romantic Scandinavian style and sea views.
I love Copenhagen, orlando international cheapest airline tickets on the net airport car rental it is my favorite city in Scandinavia cheapest airline tickets on the net (I live right outside Oslo). The spring or summer is definitely the best time (like all Scandinavian countries). Restaurant Noma is worth a visit, best restaurant in the world!
I ve only spent time in Copenhagen in the winter, but both New Years Eve there and Tivoli Christmas Markets orlando international airport car rental are not to be missed! I absolutely loved Tivoli at Christmas time. My husband and I had a great time walking cheapest airline tickets on the net around and enjoying the Christmas markets. We look forward to heading there sometime cheapest airline tickets on the net in the warmer months!
My trips to Copenhagen have always been very fleeting usually just one night whilst passing through, so I haven t seen a great deal. Looks like a lovely city to spend a long weekend. Was aware of Hotel d Angleterre but not the Nimb Hotel looks lovely!
Tivoli Gardens is one of the worlds oldest amusement parks. There are beautiful flowers and gardens. orlando cheapest airline tickets on the net international cheapest airline tickets on the net airport car rental The lights are very beautiful at night. There are places to eat and great places to get a sweet treat.
I would love to visit Denmark, cheapest airline tickets on the net in particular Copenhagen! The lock bridge reminds me of the one in Paris we visited in December 2013. We purchased a lock from one of the local stalls on the market and sealed our love on the bridge before tossing the keys into the River Seine. I know that it s technically not everlasting as they periodically replace the sections of the bridge due to the weight constraints but it s a nice touch right.
The picture of the Avenue Hotel looks really impressive. orlando international airport car rental We have started doing hotel reviews and you can certainly tell that hotel is part of an affluent neighborhood. But the intricate details are what captures orlando international airport car rental my imagination with most hotels and the way the Danish culture is incorporated into these rooms is clearly visible.
Never been to Copenhagen. Your great photos though do come across as the place for romance. ..especially if you re based somewhere in Europe. Coming from Asia, it has got to be more than just a week-end.
