There are several places worth visiting in Copenhagen including the Statue of Little Mermaid, the Amalienborg Palace, Tivoli gardens, apart from museums and galleries. You can see around Copenhagen either on harbor buses or on free city bikes. Copenhagen is well known as a bicycle friendly city and nothing beats the value of biking around the city free. In fact you can get around the city faster using the bike than any other available mode of transportation.
The Little Mermaid is a beautiful sight at Copenhagen and also one among the most photographed ladies of the world. Tivoli Gardens, the fairy tale amusement park will keep you mesmerized. The Amalienborg Palace is the winter residence of the royal couple. The national museum and the national gallery are the two "must see" sites that will widen your knowledge on history, paintings and sculpture. The national museum houses archaeological findings from ancient times to the present day while the national gallery have paintings and sculptures dating from the 15th century.
The other places of interest are the Viking Ship Museum, displaying Viking ships of different shapes and sizes. Kronberg will enchant you by its magnificent design. It is a well known renaissance castle referred in Shakespeare's Hamlet. You can enjoy the guided canal and harbor tours organized at Copenhagen.
There are luxury hotels as well as budget hotels in Copenhagen. The big hotels like Marriot, Radisson and Hilton hotel are among the luxury hotels at Copenhagen. There are several luxury hotels that are several centuries old but they offer the latest amenities and the modern facilities in the backdrop of antiques, brass, and marble, complete with spa, mini bar and garden.
The difference between the cheap and luxury hotels can be about 6 to 7 times in terms of dollars. In other words, a cheap hotel can cost you about 30 to 40 dollars while the luxury hotels can be around 200 dollars. However, a little research into hotel rates before you actually book can save you a lot. It is quite possible to come across a higher starred hotel at a lesser per night per room rental than a lower starred hotel.
