Top Ten Reasons to Visit Copenhagen this Winter

10. "Copenhagen is a small city so we were able to walk around and see everything. We went to all the museums and the old castle, it's easy to get around."
9. "You really get a sense that you are close to everything, even the royal family. The changing of the guard happens right in front of you."
8. "Cafe Norden is right on the main street. We had a champagne brunch for twelve pounds and it was all the kind of food I love. Roast pork and red cabbage and fantastic bread."
7. "Here, try this. It's Akvavit, a Danish liqueur, Aalborg Taffel? I think that's the brand. It's unusual isn't it, with the dill flavour."
6. "Princess Mary is Australian. She's just had a baby and the christening robe, which is 400 years old, wasn't in the museum as they were using it. They met on the bus at the Olympics and fell in love and now she's a beautiful princess."
5. "The little mermaid is so sweet, there are all these rocks and she's out a way, on her own, on a rock."
4. "We went to see Hans Christen Andersen's grave. Usually graveyards freak me out but all the snow made it look peaceful and tranquil. There was no one else around, just us."
3. "The bridge to Sweden is incredible, it's up and then it goes down, so that ships can cross. It takes just 40 minutes to get to Sweden so of course we had to go."
2. "We took a coach tour, called the Grand Tour. The coach was warm and the guide loved his city, told us so much about the history and buildings and the royal family. That's the best way to learn history. He was marvelous."
