A tourist's guide to Copenhagen

One of my friends went to Copenhagen recently and I wrote a little guide for him, highlighting a few of my favourite parts of the city. Here it is:

Go to the park close to the hostel "Kongens Have" (King's Garden). It is a lovely park and you can see the Queen's guard exercise sometimes. They change the guards around half 1, I think and walk from there down to Amalienborg (the Regent's castle). You can't miss it if you are in that area as they have a band. 

There is a lovely area for coffee and lunch close by called "Torvehallerne". 

If you want to see the Carlsberg Museum, you'll need the train to Valby - take it from Nr. Port or any central station. You want the S-tog, not the Metro. Tickets are interchangable with busses and prices are similar.

In that area, you will also find the Zoo - the Elephants are even visible from the public park "Frederiksberg Have". And that is also a nice park. And there is a castle, where you may be able to get a tour by one of the soldiers - it functions as the Officer Academy for the Royal Danish Army. 

Tivoli Gardens is beatiful and buzzing of music and life but expensive - even to get entrance. It is open in the summer and for the Christmas market.

You'll find nice cafes in Nyhavn, Strædet and along the Canal in front of the Parliament Castle - although expensive. Cheaper options are available on Vesterbro, especially around Istedgade and Kødbyen. You will also see a more mixed group of people there. 

There are good restaurants and brunch-places on Vesterbro as well, especially on Vesterbrogade and Halmtorvet. There is also a city-museum and a quirky little cinema called "Vester vov Vov". 

Any other tips for anyone visiting?
