We arrived at the station and did a bit of a recce for where to find the train to Malmö that we’d need Saturday morning (platform 7 for the Oresundstag). Then we decided to take the metro and made (it turned out) a bad investment to buy a 48 hour ticket…we got to the right stop, but which involved 4 escalators back up and a fair walk at the end. It wasn’t worth taking the metro again! I guess you have to go deep to create an underground railway in a city built on an archipelago!
Generator Copenhagen is a smart modern hostel, catering more for young groups and a few older solo travellers more than families, but the beds were comfortable and our 6th floor room was quiet enough…at least once the bar’s terrace closed at 10pm!
Aurélie had selected an app (found via getyourguide) to do a scavenger hunt type walking tour, culminating at the Little Mermaid. We set off under light drizzle, but that soon stopped and waterproofs had to be stashed as the sun beat down!
All of central Copenhagen is lovely, and we stumbled on an open-air jazz concert and enjoyed a drink or ice cream before continuing on.
The app was a good way of keeping the kids involved and they were very happy to get to the small statue of the famous Little Mermaid at the end.
We retraced our steps to find dinner and decided to go to the “Seaside” place which was so convenient – a little bit fancy for our needs, but ticked all the boxes with a lovely setting, friendly service, nice rosé, good fish and chips and a huge bowl of prawns.
They dropped the ball when we’d asked for churros for dessert…up to that point, it was perfect. By then, it was time to head back to the hostel and a good night’s sleep.
