ac777, you'll have a fabulous time in CPH. I really loved the land of the blondes and the beautiful. CPH is a very, very clean city and is a lovely place to walk around. I didn't get to visit as many museums as I would have liked to (or castles for that matter), but I definitely enjoyed everything that I saw. The long shopping street is also fun.
I also went to Odense and the beach northeast of Odense (starts with a K) on Fyn Island. It was a nice place -- maybe someone can answer this one: Why are there TWO red men on the traffic lights? (Oh, and the trains are pretty expensive in DK.)
And I agree, the food is excellent. I ate lunch at cafes off the main beaten path and it was very good.
Wow, I want to go back to CPH.
