Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Prague?

We can't decide between Copenhagan, Amsterdam or Prague.

If you've been to any of them, sell it to me, ie what where your highlights. Also, is there a particular area that's good to stay - we like easy access to a choice of restaurants, a few sights within walking distance.

Fabulous, thank you @Crikeyalmighty I'll take a look at those suggestions

I’ve been to all three. I like Amsterdam but I prefer The Hague tbh.

Copenhagen is very cool. Food is great.

prague is also lovely. More expensive that it used to be but still good value.

TBH I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.

I’d pick Amsterdam of those three
but pick your timing as it was HEAVING last August. And very expensive. But still lovely.

I love The Hague - we nearly moved there and didn’t in the end as housing was ludicrous for nice areas as was the cost of having a car .

Thank you @Crikeyalmighty !

@WallaceinAnderland some things on my list include…

  • day trip on train to visit Louisiana museum and Kronberg palace (and may get the ferry across to Helsingborg in sweden depending on timing)
  • Danish design museum
  • Rosenborg Castle
  • Visiting Danish Parliament (if we can get same day tickets, but they can be booked in advance)
  • walking tour of Freetown Christiana

i’ll stop hijacking your thread now OP!

If you opt for Copenhagen you can take the train to Malmo crossing the famous bridge from the Skandi noir series- The Bridge. Malmo was pretty cool for a day trip.

I thought it was Stockholm I went to (many years ago) but it was Malmo. It was nice for a day trip.

I don’t know if it’s changed but we just got a bus to Christiania and wandered around, my boyfriend bought some hash and a hash brownie. Don’t remember a walking tour. When we got off the bus we weren’t sure we were in the right place but a man walked by obviously stoned so we knew we were in the right place.

Echoing what a pp said about Prague food. We didn’t like it, had dumplings. My boyfriend liked the Star of Pramen beer/lager. The cakes though were nice.
