I'm leaving on thursday for Copenhagen, i'll be studying there until december. Its my first trip to europe, i'm excited as hell.
do any danish blues or anyone who's visited copenhagen a lot have any advice? I've heard the city is amazing, i'd love to know about some must-see spots. Also how easy is it to get too and from england? i would really love to see goodison but if its tough to get to liverpool from there I might just have to settle for an away game.
alright mate. Went to Copenhagen a few months back.
Nyhavn is a little area with bars / restaurants etc, pretty cool, check out the wiki page below.

they also do boat / canal tours which are pretty cool. All have covered boats with heaters if its cold which was quality for me as it was freezing. So check out the forecast as you might need a big coat.
Also went up 'the round tower' which I thought was ace, with great panoramic views of the city...

The city centre is also all pedestrianised which is cool. You can walk thru the city centre in about 20mins so not a massive city to navigate with red brick pavements guiding you thru. lot's of roasted chestnuts on sale as well....which smell amazing...
I went to watch FC Copenhagen v Aarhus, at the "Parken Stadium".. great game and massive stadium... cheap ticket (about £12) as well if i remember correctly.

Copenhagen is expensive though for pretty much everything else, as is most of Scandanavia.
Restaurants can be quite pricey, and you're looking at £6 a pint of beer. ($9-10 depending on the exchange rate) in most pubs/bars.
McDonalds is reasonably priced though...(shocker...)
The danish people are also very helpful and pleasant and also English is quite widely spoken, so you won't get stuck.
There is also a few American / English pubs, and a small 'expat' community so you won't feel too far from home, as with many European cities.
Hope this helps but I'd defo check the Wikipedia page as everything on there is pretty much spot on and verified.
