Copenhagen Day 1

In mid-July, I booked a flight to Copenhagen to mid-October -- $447 RT on SAS.  Basic economy meant no checked bags, just a carry-on and a bag to put under the seat.  Fine.  I was staying for 5 days.  No need for the big suitcase.  Both flights were full. Each time before the flight I got an email from SAS informing me. The flights were full and bring the email to the check-in desk where my carry-on bag would be checked in for free. I took advantage of this going to Denmark and coming home.

A friend recommended WakeupCopenhagen, an inexpensive hotel on Borgergade, within walking distance of Rosenborg Slott and Amalienborg, two of the royal palaces on my list.  After checking in, I called an Uber to take me to see The Little Mermaid.

The pink spot is my hotel. The purple marker (top right) is where the Little Mermaid is located.

 I walked back from the statue toward Nyhavn (the street with the pretty houses), where I had dinner.  It is normal to sit outside, even in October, since restaurants offer heaters, fire pits, and heated seats!

From Nyhavn, it was about a 10-minute walk back to the hotel, though I stopped at another restaurant for dessert.   I was determined to stay away until about 10 p.m., when I went to bed, comforted by Tylenol-PM.   The alarm was set for 7 a.m., as Friday was going to be a full day: a train to Roskilde, then visiting Amalienborg, and spending the evening at Tivoli Gardens.

Amalienborg is past the fountain
