Mr. Blah and I need a hotel recommendation in Copenhagen that's not too expensive, not a dump, and has decent access to the central train station, Köpenhamn H, as well as centrally located to tourist stuff. The only thing we need to avoid: a ton of stairs. (I don't know if it's common for Danish hotels not to have an elevator?) [more inside]

In November, I am going to Copenhagen for a seminar and would love to hit one thrift shop. I googled the thrift shops and came up with a Copenhagen list but not sure which one is best for tchotchkas, costume jewelry, an odd coffee mug etc. Not really interested in clothing, please. I know this is a long shot, but Ask MeFi is a goldmine of information and maybe someone reading this has a lead for me?

We are visiting Copenhagen the next week. Lmt and me are going for a concert (twice rescheduled due to covid - original date was in 2020) but due to budget airline flight organization (ie.: no flights on saturday, very expensive ones of friday) we'll stay there 3 nights. I'm checking the previouslies, but would be happy to hear the hive mind suggestions - especially with regards to covid. Details below the fold. [more inside]

I'll be visiting Copenhagen soon! Yay! When I go abroad I like to check out the local equivalent of Duane Reade or Walgreens and pick up skincare/haircare/makeup items that aren't (easily) available in the US. Are there any products that you recommend so I can arrive with a little list in hand?

I'm looking for restaurant recommendations in Copenhagen that will be likely to have a table available this Sunday evening. My parents, my partner and I are spending a long weekend in Copenhagen for my mother's 60th birthday. I was charged with booking a restaurant for a birthday dinner on Sunday - but time has slipped away from me and now I'm panicking! All cuisines considered though my mother is not a fan of Chinese food. Hard price limit is £100 per head (I guess roughly 700-750DKK) which rules out a lot of places in Copenhagen. [more inside]

Tell me your Copenhappenings! I'm going to be there Thu-Sun with a group of early-30s women, wanting a somewhat relaxing weekend. It's the first visit for all of us, looking for food, drink, fairs, special events and maybe off the beaten track stuff that may be going on at this time of year. We are still planning to see a few of the regular museums, boat trips and whatnot, but also looking for more one-off events. [more inside]
