http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30615 It was great as it combined exercise, sightseeing and local knowledge. We did the City Tour which cost 20 Euros on the first day we were in Copenhagen and we covered all the main sights within 1.5 hour of running. The guide took pictures of us along the way which we later received by email and could view on Facebook. She also recommended a handful of bars, restaurants and cool galleries, which meant that we spent the rest of our holiday visiting some truly cool places.
Even if you are not the next Paula Radcliffe, you can still join this tour and experience Copenhagen in a fun and active way.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30615 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19695 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19695 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13202
Its interiors are magnificent and show a range of works of art, including the national portrait collection. Beautiful gardens outside.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13202 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13075
The fjord is a short walk down the hill and has an extensive museum and boatbuilding yard where traditional Viking longships are made and sailed before your very eyes.

When I visited the place it was swarming with tiny children all done up in lifejackets enthusiastically climbing aboard these craft and setting sail, under expert supervision. The Vikings are evidently still keen.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13075 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10352
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/10211 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10211 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10200 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10200 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10191 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10191 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10147
Here, as cool baroque music plays, you can imagine the last doomed waltz of Queen Caroline Mathilde, sister of George III of England, with her dashing lover, Count Struensee, the German-born Prime Minister and moderniser of the Danish government. They returned after their last tryst to their rooms by secret tunnels, only to be arrested in the middle of the night. Struensee was sentenced to death for lese-majeste. His right hand was chopped off before he was brutally executed. The barbarity of his death shocked the Europe of his time. Caroline, married to an elderly, mad King Frederik, bore Struensee's child. She was "deported" to North Germany, where she died of a broken heart at only 22.

Get there early to soak up the atmosphere and avoid the crowds, although only theatre aficionados seem to head for this unmissable jewel.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10147 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10137 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10137 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3000 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3000 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2940
It's an oasis in the middle of the noisy Nørrebro neighbourhood and has been used as a park for decades.

If you visit in the summer don't be suprised to see half-naked locals lounging on blankets in the sun.

A wonderful graveyard in all seasons.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2940
