Languages
The national language of Denmark is Danish, and that’s exactly what they speak in Copenhagen. As a language, it shares some similarities with Swedish and German – but not to worry if you don’t speak it though, as many of the locals have a good grasp of English or German and will help out in a heartbeat. So don’t let that next opportunity for cheap tickets to Copenhagen go to waste!
See and Do
Don’t forget your walking shoes (wooden clogs are out) when you go to Copenhagen. It really is a delight to stroll about and see the sights. Take off from the cheap hotel in Copenhagen you booked with airBalticTravel.com and be on your way! From the spiralling steps to the spire top of the Church of Our Saviour – the best views in town – to the picturesque houses canal-side that were constructed by an independent group known as Christiania, there’s an immediate charm about Copenhagen that you’ll probably find infectious. Plus, art abounds in every form: King’s Garden has a tremendous set of sculptures, the National Gallery will help you learn all about Denmark and the Ordrupgaard Museum of Modern Art on a cliff overlooking the sea with a fabulous array of Monet, Renoir and Degas. Rent a car in Copenhagen to really get around from one event and venue to the next. Fancy a show? Attend a concerto at the Danish National Symphony Orchestra – or, likewise, go on to the Royal Danish Theatre for ballet or opera. Plus, Copenhagen always seems poised for a festival, with the widely entertaining Copenhagen Jazz Festival as an annual hit. And the food! 13 restaurants are the proud recipients of the Michelin Star award, and Copenhagen has proven itself a city of high class food culture. That’s not to mention the multitude of microbreweries with craft beers on tap (consider a brewery tour). And don’t forget to wave hello to that little statue in the harbour, before you go.
