We flew out of Indy through Chicago to Copenhagen Denmark on June 29th arriving in the early afternoon on the 30th. Our cruise wasn't leaving until July 1st, so we had booked a hotel room in Orestad outside of the city close to the airport. The hotel, Crowne Plaza, was a very modern hotel with large concrete beams throughout the lobby.
We arrived around 3pm and decided to head downtown to see the sites before crashing for the night. We successfully took the metro which was cheap, super convenient, and arrived at the stations ~ every 3 minutes. Rob and I hope Indianapolis can put something like this here sometime in the future because it was a great way to get around.
The weather was on the cool side. We walked to the Nyhavn area first, ate a late lunch/early dinner. It was hard to determine the price of food since the currency was in kroner, but we were lucky the lunch menu went until 5pm because that allowed for a cheaper meal. According to the guide book Nyhavn was established in the 1670s, used to be a sailors' quarters full of tattoo shops, but now contains mainly restaurants and shops.
We walked past Amalienborg palace where the queen and her husband live, and then walked out to the Little Mermaid statue. We then walked back past Nyhavn to Stroget (the pedestrian street that contains many shops) and walked the full length to the outside of Tivoli Gardens. We were extremely tired and found a slightly closer metro station to head back to the hotel for a long nights rest.
