Looking ahead...

In just over three weeks I'll be heading to Copenhagen, so have recently started doing a bit of research into what to do and what not to miss.

First on the list is a climb up a tower, or anything to be able to see a view like this:

I'm pretty sure there will be quite a lot of catching up and chatting to be done, so a small list of good cafes and bars will be in order. There are few things better than a drink in the sun and a good seat from which to watch a city go by.

Nyhavn is apparently another must-see, and having looked at photos I shall definitely try and fit that into my trip. Coloured buildings, a stroll around the harbour and hopefully some sunshine will do very nicely.

Copenhagen has 350km of cycle paths, and around a third of people there cycle every day, making it one of the cycling capitals of Europe. I'll be finding a bike from somewhere and doing a lot of exploring on two wheels.

(probably not managing to look anywhere near as stylish as most of the Danes)

Do you have any tips for a first trip to Copenhagen?
