im going to be here 5 and 6th of Dec , any suggestions on 'must do's or locations for a few good shots ? im traveling light so will just have camera and one or two lenses, all suggestions welcome ! :)
 
Hi Thomas

Tivoli Gardens is lit up nicely at night. Other than that just wander, I find the place endlessly fascinating.

Enjoy
 
safe enough place to walk around on your own ? i will take camera wide angle lens and thats prob it ! much to do during the day ?
 
Isn't Copenhagen the place with the Mermaid statue looking over the harbour?

Don't be embarrassed to do street shooting, your a tourist, its expected!

Wish I could go. Good luck.

Just be careful around the station at night, and be aware that the main tourist hotel area is also the red light district.

If you take a walk around Christiania, leave your camera in the bag. Not because it's a dodgy area (although there is open drug dealing), it's just that the residents are not keen on being a tourist attraction.

Mermaid is back - I was there in July and it had been returned by then. I think they had a duplicate anyway. Absolutely jam packed with tourists around it though, and it's much much smaller than you think - hard to get a decent shot tbh.

The Opera House is quite impressive - can get some nice shots across the harbour of it.

if they're still running them, we did a Segway tour, and it was absolutely incredible fun. Don't know if they do it during winter though. ToursCPH was the company. Owned by an Irish guy, all done in English.

I'll second Tivoli suggestion. Great atmosphere there. Can be pricey though.
 
thanks i guess the simple thing is to go to the mermaid - Christiania may not really be my 'bag' but yes i guess i will wander the streets and perhaps go for dinner at the tivoli :) cheers all will post my pictures up when im back !
