New York Times in Copenhagen
Where: Copenhagen, Denmark
When you think Scandinavia, you think Sweden, Norway, and Finland: IKEA, Svens a-plenty and oodles of black metal music. But Denmark is part of Scandinavia, too, and it deserves the attention of you and your parka just as much--so says the Times.
With just thirty-six hours in Copenhagen, you'd better hoof it hardcore, and the Times recommends renting a bicylcle to hit the hot spots. Play super-tourist for a bit by catching a boat tour from Nyhavn harbor and knocking back a Carlsberg or two at one of its outdoor cafes. If you crave a more artisinal Danish booze, stop by Noma, where you can wash your beer down with a slab of musk ox.
Now that Copenhagen is just another link on Europe's budget airline network, you'll want to avoid the stag party crowds at night. Boutique Lize, "a cooler-than-school bar" will shield you, though we're not sure we want to trade drunk bachelors for the supposed "slumming society girls" that hang out there.
The Times suggests you take Continental from Newark to Copenhagen, but it isn't your only non-stop option: you can fly from Seattle, Chicago, and Atlanta as well, on SAS and Delta, respectively.
