last year, we went on a great intern holiday to copenhagen, the weather was soooo much better than here in den haag, i highly recommend :)
*nyhavn: nice area with beautiful houses. very touristy though, you can have a beer, but don't eat there, prices are insane.
*istedgade: nice area with shops, bars and cafes, behind central station (our hotel was in that area, perfectly situated because you can just walk to the centre
*straedet (kompagnistraede): nice cafes and restaurants
*christiania: must-see, it is an autonomos spot, a "free town" in town. you can smoke and have drinks there, funny place, although its inhabitants say it's going down. we had a few beers there (crazy enough, you have to go to a hippie place in denmark to be able to pay for your drinks with a credit card, which you can't in most places here ;)
*black diamond exhibition
*vestergade&studiestrade: student's quarter, really fun for a stroll and lunch
*nice food-places are cafe luna, sweet treat or wilders
*if you have australian friends, buy and send a postcard with princess mary. they will love that.
if you really WANT a picture of yourself and the little mermaid, be prepared to fight other tourists for that. you can walk around and see most of the sights in a day or two, and don't need to rush. they have great vintage and art shops.
prepare to meet lots and lots of nice people, and if you are nice to them in return, you might end up with great recommendations for clubs, concerts and restaurants, and even be invited for a sailing trip :)
denmark doesn't have the euro, so you get to play with funky money...eat a hot dog and enjoy watching the really fashionable copenhageners!!
