Day 1 - Copenhagen


We recommend you stay at the stylishly modern boutique Hotel Twentyseven, with its own cocktail lounge and the famous Ice Bar Copenhagen: it's also extremely centrally located.
Once you've unpacked, head over to Tivoli Gardens, where you can let off plenty of steam with thrill rides and carnival boothes galore. If you feel peckish, Wagamama offer tasty noodle and wok dishes quickly and reasonably cheaply.
Enjoy the 'Friday Rock' free concert on the lawn 'Plænen' before the Gardens close shortly after midnight. Then it's time to head over to Nord Natklub on nearby Axeltorv, a popular local spot carering exclusively for the over-30s. You can get in for free - just show the doorman your tickets from Tivoli.

Day 2 - Copenhagen


If you have the energy, take a stroll over to Strøget, the Walking Street, for a spot of shopping. There are some great designer clothing shops on this street, especially at the Kongens Nytorv end. For lunch, we recommend Cafe Zirup: one of the brunch options here is the 'hangover brunch', that includes sausages and pancakes.
The afternoon should be spent at DGI-Byen, a leisure complex that has something for all tastes: While the girls can enjoy a relaxing spa, there is a bowling alley for the guys. Later, head back to Axeltorv Square (you may remember it from yesterday) for an enjoyable Italian meal at Il Peccato restaurant. Then take a taxi over to cocktail bar 1105 (the guys might prefer the relaxed drinking atmosphere of Cafe Tight) followed by dancing until the early hours at Østerbro spots Park Cafe (guys) and the Ocean Club (girls).
