I don't usually add reference books to Goodreads but a) I read this cover-to-cover, TWICE, and b) I just have to comment on how gorgeous the new-design DK Eyewitness guides are!! They look so modern now, and although they still keep the illustrations of buildings with cut-out walls, they feel less childish and definitely have more information than the old-style guides. Plus, how insanely gorgeous are all the photos?? I normally use travel guides for research and then leave them at home, but this one came with me to Copenhagen and was INDISPENSABLE.
The only nitpick I have is that the editing was really sloppy? There were so many spelling mistakes ("stricking" instead of "striking" was a personal favourite), wrong tenses, missing words, and the tantalisingly cryptic sentence: "Fall is also the last time." The last time to what??? In the ~rules of the road~ section "50km/h (1m/h)" genuinely made me question whether I could trust the information in this book.

Not sure how to rate a travel book but this sure got me excited for our trip this summer!

The 2022 edition was helpful in planning my trip to Denmark. It helped persuade me to venture to areas way beyond Copenhagen.
I will note that in the "2 Days in Copenhagen" section, Day 1 mentions walking by colorful houses at No. 4 Overgaden Oven Vandet. There are no colorful houses around that address and it appears that there hasn’t been for quite some time. There were colorful houses at No. 3 Sofiegrade, but not at No. 4 Overgaden Oven Vandet. Also a couple of the restaurants were no longer in business, but that is not a surprise and a hard thing to keep updated. It was simple to google restaurants and determine current hours or business status so no time was lost trying to look for something that doesn’t exist anymore.
Overall, the book was worth the money and I'm glad I purchased the kindle edition to have while I was traveling.

Nice pictures but the text gets too small to be helpful in the body of the book. Had to return it and get a different one. Also, I like more narrative than just facts.

Really enjoy the extra maps and illustrations you find in the Eyewitness Travel series. They make great keepsakes/reminders for after you’ve traveled as well.

Helpful and up to date travel guide (2022 edition). While I will only be visiting Copenhagen, this guide made me wish I were seeing more of Denmark.

I read this because my ancestors came to America from Copenhagen, Denmark. I hope I can visit this country in my lifetime. This book is an excellent easy to carry guide and tells you everyplace worth seeing.

I really liked all aspects of this book. I like the way it is set up and divided into areas. Unlike other travel books rural areas are covered very well, not just the large urban areas. It was readable, lots of interesting information.

We used this guide to plan our 'things-to-do-today'while staying in Denmark.
It was a big help and we had a lot of fun reading through the book, anticipating to see all in real.

This guide has the port I will visit, it fits into the pocket of cargo pants or other clothing with deep pockets, it has lots of pictures and it provides websites for the recommended sights to see.
