Among Scandinavian countries, Denmark is the most liberal about drinking and boatloads of Swedes occasionally descend to make a night of it. The Danes also make two of the world’s most famous beers: Carlsberg and Tuborg – you can visit the breweries. Normally Danes drink an ice cold glass of akvatit (schnapps) to start the evening accompanied by a fishy snack. With the real food you drink wine or beer. That other famous local product, Cherry Heering (cherry brandy) goes with coffee. Good places to pass in Copenhagen are around the Nikolaj Kirke, such as the inner room of the Cafe Royal, La Cubana and the Club de Paris. Hviid’s Vinstue in Kongsten Nytorv has considerable character. Single people may find companionship at the Wonder Bar or the Kakudu Bar. And there is always the Tivoli, open only 1 May – 15 September.

There are many tours of Copenhagen organized by Tourist Board. Some by water, others to enable you to see something of modern Danish life (‘Life-seeing tours’). The Glyptotek near the Tivoli Gardens is full of eceptionally good sculpture, a selection of paintings by the French Impressionists and a collection of classic pieces, Greek, Roman and especially Egyptian. The Permanente, in the Vesterport building, houses the best of Denmark’s present crafts. Along Stroget are the finest shops in Scandinavia. The National Museum shows a visual history of Denmark. Close by is Slotshom Island where several important buildings are conveniently gathered. First is Christiansborg Palace, home of kings for three-and-a-half centuries. You can visit the royal reception rooms every day except Monday. Here to is the Royal Library, which includes among its rare manuscripts records of the early pre-Columbian Viking voyages across the Atlantic. Thorvaldsen’s Museum is a monument to the great sculptor and the Borsen, oldest stock exchange in the world, is still used as much. Vor Frelser’s Kirke (Our Saviour’s Church), with an outside spiral staircase is a vantage point for viewing the city.
