Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Visited several times while in Copenhagen. Had three lunches here on seperate occasions and all were good. We had no trouble getting a table though the area was busy. Yes it is a popular tourist area but certainly worth a visit. We also got a boat from here for a tour of the river and canals.

    The man at the gate told us that we had to go in, because we thought it was only an attractie park for children. However it is more, it is a beautiful garden with more that only attractions. Only it was a pity that the white peacocks were in a very small cage.

    Well worth the visit. Buy tickets in advance and as you are allowed in within an allocated time the castle never felt busy. The Throne room tapestries are incredible.

    Beautiful collection of mainly sculptures and remakes with a scarce painting section of French artwork. The inside garden was quite beautiful especially with thoughtfully placed artwork within although multiple copies of the same sculpture within the garden made it feel less impressive than if each piece had been unique. The Egyptian section was quite interesting as well as the thoughtful design into the mummy area.

    We ascended on a very windy day and felt safe the entire time on the outside stairs.

    It's really not that bad of a climb. I am glad we did it.

    A lovely insight into Danish royal history. The ticket covers several different buildings. We loved the ruins below ground. Unfortunately the church is only open on Sundays. We couldn’t enter the palace until after 2.00 as there was an event on do we returned later. Well worth a visit.

    It took me entirely three hours to finish the first floor of the museum using special fossils to show the history and way of living of the inhabitants of those lands
    from pre-historical till B.C... Each period is profoundly explained in greater detail as to how the men lived and worked.
    Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to tour the other two floors to experience the further history.

    This is a must do on a visit to Copenhagen. there is a spiral walkway followed by a narrow but short staircase to get to the viewing platform which offers spectacular views over the rooftops. The Orusund Bridge to Malmo in Sweden is also visable.

    Wide variety of food and drink, lots of cool shops too. Went on a Saturday at lunch time and managed to find somewhere to sit but it was bustling!

    We had a lovely time at the Botanical Gardens but there is a lot of workm being done at the moment so a large section is closed particularly near the lake. We didn't pay to go into the Palm House. The Alpine Rockey area is absolutely beautiful. More coffee outlets would be nice. Well worth a visit.

    The David Collection is one of those gems of Islamic culture that is generally known only to those who find themselves at a loose end in Denmark’s capital city. It’s an exceptional collection, lovingly maintained. Its latest exhibition is a tried and trusted formula.

    ‘Beyond Words: Calligraphy from the World of Islam’ examines the art that makes Islamic culture so distinctive, wherever it is. Initially, writing in Arabic was a mere matter of communication. Calligraphy soon became an aesthetic expression in its own right, used in almost every kind of media across the Islamic world. Regional variations create a diversity that isn’t appreciated until it’s pointed out. This exhibition does an admirable job in highlighting this.

    Modern, humble, functional Scandinavian design. Monument of canal bank. Opera house and theatre are almost facing to each other over the canal 🌊
