Weekend getaway in Copenhagen

Plan for this trip

Fly down on Friday and enjoy a weekend in Copenhagen.

Return on Sunday :)

Friday April 5th

First evening in Copenhagen

We flew down to Copenhagen in the afternoon. Took the train from the airport to our hotel. We stayed in Hotel Ottilia. Very nice hotel, it was part of the old Carlsberg Brewery that has been rebuilt to hotel. The whole Carlsberg area is being rebuilt as a nice hip area.

After we got settled in we took the train to the “Meat Packing District” to get food. Very hip area and being Friday it was very busy. Got some BBQ at WarPigs, ended up sitting outside and it was raining. So the meal wasn’t that enjoyable but was good. Will come again, just not on a friday evening. After that we went over to Ismageriet and had some delicious ice cream. After that we went back to the hotel by train.

Carlsberg

Carlsberg is the area where they had all the old breweries for Carlsberg so has a very industrial feeling to the area. Here are some pictures of the area around the hotel we stayed in.
