Go round the back of the statue so you are facing the church, check out the frieze. How to get on in the Danish church! Turn down Studiestræde and you are in the old latin Quarter of Copenhagen.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10352 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3701
Big names feature regularly, but the best thing is the portable stages that can be found on every square in town, allowing music to waltz through the air wherever you wander.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3701 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3007 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3007 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3005
Two of the best bets are the Kongens Nytorv in the centre of town and Frederiksberg Gardens.

Often called Europe’s greatest social experiment and with big names like Bob Dylan on the support list, Christiania is facing a bleak future. The right-wing government has shut down the famous Pusher Street, which sold hash and pot in colourful booths and is threatening to reclaim the area for development.

Nobody will notice.

Another option is the spire of Our Saviour’s church in the Christianshavn neighbourhood is unique in that the spiral staircase is on the outside of the spire. If your boots are made for walking you’re all set.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2387
