According to many sources who have travelled to and toured Copenhagen, there are many beautiful and fun sites to visit in the city.  One famous site is the Little Mermaid, a small statue that was made based on the story of the same name, part of the inspiration for the Disney version.little-mermaid.jpg










Another site apparently worth visiting is the amusement park Tivoli Gardens, featuring the roller coaster the "Daemon" (Demon).  This coaster has been described, as; exciting, terrifying, mind numbing, intense, and bunch of other synonyms for the word "awesome".  Only down side to the park is the cost, because apparently, the admission fee is different than the fee for the rides so be prepared to spend a pretty penny, or in this case pretty krone.

As far as food goes in Denmark, well be prepared to be overwhelmed by the pure awesomeness that is Danish cheese, ham and dairy products.  According to one source "Fresh Danish butter is not something that can be described, it can only be experienced".  However, the biggest part of Danish Cuisine has always revolved around its bread and Pastries.  Yes you can find Danishes in Copenhagen, yet it is more well known for its fresh peasant bread, served often with the main course.  However, if you have been in the city too long, the food industry, like everywhere else in the world has been globalized, so you can find pretty much any type of food that you want, if you look hard enough.
