I live in Copenhagen AMA

[DaneMum]

I am Danish and live in central Copenhagen with a husband and 2 kids (8 and 11).

Nha Trang at Rantzausgade, Nørrebro. Our favorite local spot!

Yes, by all means try the pastries - and an ice cream as well (cones are much nicer than elsewhere!)

I'll do a life swap with you, OP! You can come and live in the Midlands and I'll come and live in Copenhagen. You don't live in Frederiksberg by any chance do you.... 😉

I think it is for some people. Stable and good living conditions, high quality of life etc. Access to nature, the city is big enough to feel international, but still small and easy to navigate.

TOU DIDNT ANSWER MY QUESTION OP. I AM THE ONLY PWRSON THAT MATTERS

I think so, yes - we live in an "andelslejlighed" so fairly low monthly rent.

how diverse is it? would tourists who were BAME be welcomed?

I do - or at least I used to! But I haven't played it in a long time...

It is called Kubb or Kongespil.

How much public support do the Danish Royal Family enjoy? Are people generally pro-monarchy? What was the response to the recent demotion of Prince Joachim's children?

I really have no idea, sorry. But I think a few areas tend to regulate - in my building renting out via Air BnB is not allowed.

Where is a good place to stay if you have 2 nights there. Only thing we want to do so far is tivoli

I do 😁

Hej! Also a Copenhagener! Although originally from England and been here 2.5y.

My (genuine!) Q is do Danes find the long winters as rough as us expats or are we just utter wusses 😁

Is it Agnete & Havmanden, the underwater sculpture in the canals, you are thinking of? I think the sculpture is still there, but it is overgrown and hard to see. It is based on an old folk tale about a lady who went to live with a Merman but ended up leaving him and all their children behind as she went back to live on the ground again.

Oh, and no Netto Bikes anymore - but lots of other rental city bikes :-)

Sounds lovely! I don't know Amager very well but yes, definitely lots of nice beaches both north and south of Copenhagen.

Sounds great! Let us do that one day :-)

I live in Nørrebro - but actually Frederiksberg is just at the other side of our street :-)

Central Copenhagen is pretty diverse. Lots of tourists from all over the world. Some people can be a bit annoyed at tourists, but that's a general thing I'd say :-)

There is definitely some racism/prejudice towards other cultures in some areas of the country.

That’s the one! Thanks OP. Lovely Copenhagen, I really want to revisit.

I think most people respect the Queen and are okay with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. I do not think most people have a very strong opinion on monarchy to be honest - it is just how it is.... :-)

But people really don't like when there are arguments going on in the Royal Family and Joakim is seen whining and getting angry at his mother - then sympathy for the monarchy is decreasing.

Tivoli Hotel - but that is expensive:-) I don't really know a lot about hotels though - haven't really stayed in any in Copenhagen :-)

Hello fellow Copenhagener!

I think we are just used to the long winters... they really can be depressing, but the summers do make up for it!

@YellowAndGreenToBeSeen You are welcome! Please do :-)

@Clementine8 the scandic Fredericksburg is nice - it's a lovely leafy area, big mall, lots of cafes and independent shops but quiet at night as out the centre - but still only a couple of stops on metro.

Scandics are always pretty decent

Scandic Norreport is good value. There are only 9 stops on the metro from the airport. It has a roof top bar, which is popular with the locals and is reasonably priced.

😁😁 to be fair, even I can admit that the spring and summer so make up for winter, they are incredible! I go to Nordhavn station every morning and it’s so gorgeous watching the sun in the morning!
