Danish Design Center,Museum ofCopenhagen, RosenborgCastle (closed
Mon Nov-April), Round Tower, Royal Library, Our Savior's Church,
Tivoli Gardens (generally closed late Sept-mid-April), canal tours, and
walking or bike tours. You can explore Christiania, but Monday is its rest
day (“resting” from what, I'm not sure), so it's unusually quiet and some
restaurants are closed.
Telephones: Use the telephone liberally—everyone speaks English. Calls
anywhere in Denmark are cheap; calls to Norway and Sweden cost 6 kr
per minute from a booth (half that from a private home). Get a phone card
(sold at newsstands, starting at 30 kr). To make inexpensive international
calls, buy an international phone card. There are a variety to choose from,
varying in price. (7-Eleven stores give you a voucher that acts as the call-
ing card, with instructions and your PIN code.)
Internet Access: Wi-Fi is easy to find in Copenhagen (available free at vir-
tually all hotels and many cafés). Telestation, tucked behind the train
station kitty-corner from the TI, is a call shop with several Internet ter-
minals (10 kr/15 minutes, 15 kr/30 minutes, 25 kr/1 hour; Mon-Sat
10:00-21:00—until 19:00 in winter, Sun 11:00-20:00—until 18:00 in
winter, Banegårdspladsen 1, tel. [phone]). Additionally, several places
offer free Internet access (designed for quick info and email checks):
