Time is ticking! The counter below this blog page shows that we are only 100 days away from the big day! It's time to get your planning mode on and start booking plane tickets and hotels!
We mentioned previously about reserving a block of rooms for our international guests. However, recent researches have indicated that online booking websites may offer better discounts than we were able to negotiate. We have done our research and came up with a list of few hotel choices, and are sharing them here to give you all some ideas.
First of all, it all depends on your budget. Copenhagen generally has a higher living cost, and moderate hotels usually are ranging from DKK 800 to DKK 1200. Breakfast usually are not included, and can be costly if you order breakfast separately. So be sure to check if breakfast is included for the price.
Second, location, location and location! Luckily, the size of downtown Copenhagen is quite manageable. There isn't such thing as "too far from the city". The core downtown area goes from the train station/Tivoli in the west to the Royal residence Kastelskirken on the peninsula. Further out north from Frederiksberg, Nørrebro, west to Vesterbro and south to Amagerbro area, are popular residential area. There will be substantially less tourists, but you may be able to find more vacation rental and hostels with charming neighborhoods. We will have shuttle bus to pick up our guests from a central location to the wedding castle. It is most likely to be somewhere close to the downtown area.
Third, transportation. Copenhagen is 100% bicycle friendly. It's very convenient and safe to cycle around the city. Downtown hotels will allow you to walk to most attractions. If you are planning on staying in further out areas, please look for hostels or vacation rentals that may have bicycles as rentals. It's much more convenient to bike than to take bus or metro trains.
These two websites offer the best selection and price:
First Hotel Twentyseven
Longangstraede 27, City Center / Stroget, Copenhagen, Denmark 1468
First Hotel Vesterbro
Vesterbrogade 23 - 29, Tivoli, Copenhagen, Denmark 1620
First Hotel Kong Frederik
Vester Voldgade 25, City Center / Stroget, Copenhagen, Denmark 1552

[A: These are my favorites. Very centrally located (Kong Frederik and Twentyseven), and modern Danish design interior. Posh. Period. And very much affordable.]
That being said, that's just Angela's thoughts. If you have any questions or want to learn more about hotels and areas, please feel free to let us know! Rest be sure, there's not too many "unsafe" or "high crime" areas in Copenhagen. Of course, common sense is still needed when traveling alone and late at night, but most of all, Copenhagen is a relatively safe and secure city.
