Copenhagen's taxis are safe, shiny, new - and very expensive. Private 'mini cabs' of the type found in London and elsewhere do not exist. In fact, Copenhagen's taxis are around 40% more expensive than in neighbouring Malmo.

The good news is that Copenhagen's excellent local train, underground, bus and cycle path network means taxis are rarely a necessity.

Don't waste your time with the plastic atmosphere of Parken Stadium and FC Copenhagen. Brøndby is the real thing, with terracing behind the goals, plenty of singing and good, reasonably-priced beer. Brondby are currently the only Danish team playing in Europe (in the UEFA Cup group stages) and are reigning Danish league and cup champions. Manager is Michael Laudrup.

Games are normally on a Sunday. Take the S-train to Brøndby Øster, where a special bus will take you to the stadium. Alternatively it's a 20 min walk from Glostrup station.

Much has been written about the new, trendy bars that are springing up in Copenhagen's inner city districts of Vesterbro and Nørrebro. However, what is not mentioned is that many of them charge twice as much for a beer as smaller, unpretentious bars off the main streets. Many young urbanites are happy to pay 40 kr for a half litre of beer, if it means avoiding the oldsters in the bodega round the corner where the same drink costs 20 kr. However, these older people are often more colourful, friendly, and love to speak English.

All over Copenhagen. Look for the name 'bodega', Tuborg and Carlsberg signs, and bar names in Danish (as oppposed to English, Russian, or French).
