Destination Copenhagen - A Holiday Well Deserved

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Copenhagen. I had read a lot about this city on the internet. And, little did I know that I would be sent on a conference to this beautiful city from my work place. I was supposed to travel to this destination with a group of five other people for a medical conference. I was pretty upset that we just had four days in the city. With the conference taking up most of our time, we would not get enough time to discover the city.

It has a lot of cheap airlines flying in and out of the place. We made bookings a few months prior to our trip and got cheap plane tickets that fell well into our budget. One must do a lot of research to find good airline deals. There are several cheap flights to Copenhagen like Lufthansa, Air India and Air France. If you get in touch with a reputable travel agent, he is sure to find you very cheap tickets to Copenhagen. It is the capital of Denmark and is considered to be a truly modern looking city. We had a very long flight and settled in the hotel rooms as soon as we reached. The view from my room’s window was spectacular and breathtaking. The entire place looked as if it had been torn out from a fairy tale book. It all looked just so perfect!!! But, with only four days in such a magical place it all suddenly seemed sad.

We had the opportunity to go on a guided tour of the city. We saw the top art museums in Europe called the Louisiana. The weather in the city is fairly decent. Though, it is said that the winter months here get mighty cold, and the temperatures dip to below freezing points. It also snows in the months of January and February. The days were spent busy in the meetings and seminars. But the evenings were free to roam around and figure out the beautiful Scandinavian city to our heart’s content. The food was very tasty as it had a blend of cultures from all over the world. The night life of the city took us by surprise. This place has a lot of good night clubs and bars which play great music and serve amazing wine. We spent a considerable amount of our evenings here, listening to music and dancing having a gala time. The highlight of the entire trip was a visit to the Carlsberg brewery which is the favorite beer of most of the people in India. We saw how beer was brewed and tasted quite a bit of it. The entire trip was a memorable one.
