One of my visits was during a weekend in mid-December 2001. The streets were hectic with Christmas shoppers; my work colleagues went to Tivoli (which was just an entertainment park, where everything was overkill; the lights, the stands, the kitschy gifts).

In an anti-shopping mood, I seeked out a quiet spot, and visited The State Museum of Art, a memorable building with both historical and modern art exhibitions. I went in around 11.00 and was finished around 13.00 o'clock, just when the crowds started to arrive.

Then I sat down for lunch in a tastefully designed cafe, and enjoyed pale winter sun that came in through magnificent high windows...a quiet winter bliss in the midst of the shopping craze. Highly recommended.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10206
