The main tourist information bureau is opposite the main gate of Tivoli, on the railway station side of the Town Hall square. Lots of leaflets, helpful staff - but usually a long queue. If arriving at the airport there is an information desk there which can usually help and very seldom has more than a couple of people ahead of you - it's diagonally ahead on your left as you come out of the customs end of the arrivals area.
For local (greater Copenhagen) transport info and tickets use the glass box building in the Town Hall square.Its an integrated system and the same tickets cover buses, local trains, the metro and the waterbuses.
A large and very helpful visitors' centre with courteous staff and a wide selection of free maps and brochures.
While in the neigbourhood, turn off Orchard Road to an eating area on Emerald Hill Road to admire some lovely 'Chinese Baroque' houses on the left-hand side, built in the late 19th century by the Peranakan community.
On Orchard Road at the junction with Cairnhill Road.
This is a great city for a short break with lots to do, or not, as you wish. Really nice people and not too far away.
If you’re looking for the tourist offices here, they’re signed by VVV.
On the way home it’s worth shopping at Schipol Airport for presents, something normally to be avoided at most airports. This airport has been voted the best airport in the world several times and not without reason with its variety of shops.
Bring back stone bottles of Dutch Gin (Jenever), Dutch chocolate, and best of all, Dutch cheese (except you’ll have the smell of edam in your hand luggage on the plane).
Tourist information offices: Stationsplein 10 (opposite Central Station) and Leidseplein 1; tel (06) 340 34066
