DAY NOTE: Bring a picnic basket and dine under the trees in Frederiksberg Have Park, where you can hide out in the Chinese pagoda or try boating on the lake. If the park seems a little crowded, venture into the wilder Søndermarken area and disappear into the atmospheric vaults of Cisternerne’s Museum of Modern Glass Art, where stained glass is certainly not a trend of the past.

Frederiksberg 2000 DESCRIPTION: Though Søndermarken and adjoining Frederiksberg Have were conceived at the same time, Søndermarken is obviously the wilder twin, with patches of dense woodland and a steep hill that fills up with the city's children and their sledges on snowy winter days, and is equally enjoyed in the summertime by dog walkers, joggers and anyone else seeking a break from the bustle of the city. The park's stained glass museum Cisternerne is something of a mystery; like a secret bunker, the Photo courtesy of Bent pyramid-shaped, glass and steel entrance of the museum appears out of Ryberg the trees, taking visitors down into a subterranean world.

6 Day 2 - Copenhagen QUICK NOTE

DAY NOTE: After making reservations for the evening’s dinner cruise with DSB Canal Tours, visit the charming old neighborhood of Christianshavn, with its pretty painted houses perched along the canals. Enjoy a lunch aboard Christianshavns Bådudlejning og café, a café on a canal barge, then continue the maritime theme with a visit to the cute-looking Naval Museum (Orlogsmuseet). Finally, by sure to be waiting at the anchor at the top of Nyhavn at 7pm for the DSB Canal Tours dinner cruise, with food provided by Nyhavn’s Restaurant Gallionen, available on Thursdays only.

location: 1 Christianshavn Christianshavn København 1410 DESCRIPTION: Christianshavn harbour was founded by Christian IV in the area between and Amager. In the early years the people of the Christianshavn were given freedom from taxes in return for reclaiming the land and building houses on this bit of swampy land outside Copenhagen. The oldest houses, as for example Strandgade . 30, go as far back as 1630. The well-known painters P.S. Krøyer and Wilhelm Hammershøi lived at this address. In the nineteenth century a lot of industry moved into Christianshavn, the most famous factory being Burmeister and Wain (B&W). Today Christianshavn is a very hip place to live. In the summer, a nice, simple life is led along the many canals, especially at Overgaden Oven Vande and Overgaden Neden Vande. Many of the people of Christianshavn have a boat of their own and a mooring for it. Houseboats can also be seen here. Tourists have the opportunity of dicovering this side of Christianshavn by taking a trip with one of the canal tours. © wcities.com contact: 2 Vor Frelsers Kirke tel: +45 3257 2798 fax: +45 3295 3595 http://www.vorfrelserskirke.dk DESCRIPTION: The architect of the 1752 staircase of the "Church of Our Savior" was Laurids de Thurah. A legend still persists about him. It is said location: that he constructed the staircase encircling the building the wrong way. Skt. Annægade 29 Climbing to the top, and belatedly realizing what he'd done, he jumped København 1416 to his death. A good story, but it's not true.

More than 300 model ships, many based on designs that date from as early as 1500, are on view, and some of them were designed and constructed by naval engineers, serving as prototypes for the construction of actual ships that ventured into the cold, dark waters of the North Sea. The models are wide ranging -- some are fully "dressed," with working sails, whereas others are cross-sectional with their frames outlined. You get a vast array of other naval artifacts too, including an intriguing collection of figureheads, some of which are artworks themselves. For us, nothing is as glamorous or splendid as an ornate state barge from 1780. © Frommer's contact: 4 DFDS Canal Tours tel: +45 3296 3000 fax: +45 3296 9350 http://www.canaltours.dk/ OUR LOCAL EXPERT SAYS: location: Try the hop on, hop off water bus service, allowing Nyhavn 2 you to get off and on as many times as you want at København 1051 any of the many attractions along the way, with a full

9 Day 3 - Copenhagen QUICK NOTE

DAY NOTE: From Nørreport Station, board the no.14 coastal bus which takes around 45 leisurely minutes to travel up the coast to Klampenborg. Take one of the pony and traps that wait along the bridge here for a romantic ride into the forest at Dyrehaven; the lucky ones may catch a glimpse of the deer that run freely through the former royal hunting grounds.

The giddy screams ahead should give you a clue that Bakken, the world's oldest amusement park, lies hidden amongst the trees. Open from the end of May until the end of September, entry to the 400 year-old park is free and tickets to the rides – some thankfully newer than the still-functioning wooden rollercoaster from 1932 – can be purchased singly or as a pass at Bakken's entrance. For the less young at heart, there are also plenty of restaurants, from fast food to traditional Danish, and revue-style entertainment. Alternatively, venture out into the 1000 hectares of woodland that is Dyrehaven, all completely open to the public and accessible by foot or bicycle. Deer have roamed freely in the forest since 1670, when they were introduced to what was then a royal hunting ground by King Frederik III, as a gift for his son. © NileGuide contact: Den Gule Cottage tel: 45 3964 0691 http://www.dengulecottage.dk DESCRIPTION: 'The Yellow Cottage' is a small, thatched house under oak and beech trees close to Bellevue Strand 7 location: miles up the coast from Copenhagen.
