Guidebook Updates for Denmark
When we learn of critical changes to the information in our guidebooks on Denmark, we post them here. (Of course, it's still smart to reconfirm critical transportation and sightseeing details locally.) Armed with a Rick Steves guidebook and these late-breaking updates, you're set for a great trip!
- Roskilde's tourist information office has closed, but a "tourist inspiration center" at the Sankt Laurentius tower, near the cathedral, fills in as one.
- Roskilde Cathedral is now open daily year-round; its organ concerts are no longer free (now 50 DKK) and held on the third Wednesday of every month at 17:00.
- The tourism office in Helsingør (home of Kronborg Castle) has moved to The Culture Yard, at Allegade 2.
For books printed before July 2021, the following may also apply:
- Copenhagen Jazz House is now called Alice.
- Shuttle buses from the Oslo ferry terminal to the city are now marked Banegård or Nørreport. The Banegård bus drops you at Banegårdspladsen — in front of the main train station, near Tivoli, recommended hotels, and the start of Rick's "Copenhagen City Walk."
- The overnight boat to Oslo now leaves at 14:00, usually arriving in Oslo at 9:00 (same schedule for return trip).
- Thorvaldsen's Museum is now open Thursday until 21:00.
- English tours of the National Museum's Victorian Apartment are now June–Aug, Sat–Sun at 12:00.
- The National Museum is now open until 20:00 on Thursdays.
- Due to changes to the bus system, buses #14, #1A and #6A are no longer useful.
- Daily City Walks by Red Badge Guides now runs May–Sept at 10:00. The price has increased to 150 DKK.
- The Museum of Copenhagen has reopened.
- The National Museum now charges 95 DKK for admission.
- The Carlsberg brewery visitors center is closed for renovation until December 2023, as the entire former brewery complex is being transformed into a new neighborhood called Carlsberg City (Carlsberg Byen), with a hotel, restaurants, shops, housing, and public spaces, while preserving and repurposing some of the historic Carlsberg structures.
