Friends from Berlin in town couple of weeks ago. Knowing Copenhagen a little bit more than them, I have to take up the tour guide responsibility. After spending 4 days 3 nights in Copenhagen, their comment is: Denmark has a complicated public transport ticketing system (the zones are confusing to them).
Well, I was thrilled to have visiting friends and also thanks to their presence, I get a chance to see more of the city I live in now. Normally I just won't walk into tourist spots even though I haven't been there. Weird isn't it? When you're living in the city, you tend to know it visit it less (at least the tourist attractions).
So this round, spending day 2 (well, day 1, they arrive at night, doesn't count) in the city centre, typical Langeline walk from Little Mermaid to Amelianborg, Nyhavn and then Strøget. Little detour to the romantic Rosenborg Castle & Botanical Garden. Had a nice coffee break on top floor of the post musuem and end with Korean bulgogi dinner.

Day 3, we up north to Helsingør to Kronborg Castle (the Hamlet's Castle) where the nearest point to Sweden is only 4km. Met with the famous Holger Danske, the guardian of Denmark and toured around the castle. Spent a quiet late Danish smørrebrød lunch in Helsingør before coming back to Copenhagen. Tried new smooth-tea in Baresso Coffee and surprisingly bump into a Ferrari owner gathering in town before going for Japanese sukiyaki dinner, and that's the end of day 3.

Day 4, which, unfortunately is a Sunday where activities are minumal in Copenhagen, was spent on the Carlsberg Ny Glyptotek. I never know there's such nice collection in town. Considering the fact that the Glyptotek was initially just a personal collection, the amount of work pieces is actually pretty impressive. Admission is 50DKK but free on Sunday :)
Took some pictures during these few days but too lazy to select & publish them. You can have a look if you're interested at the album.
