This is a nice small guide that would be easy to travel with. I'm glad I got it.

Pros:
1. Compact size.
2. Color pictures
3. Multiple color maps with mentioned spots indexed and easy to correlate with the text.
4. There are several suggested walks mapped out.

Cons:
1. Included map has a narrower range of the city than I would like.
2. Included map does not include a subway map, although there's a foldout one on the front cover.

It looks like a very handy reference.

Update: I'm now back from Copenhagen and took this with me, and often brought it along on excursions as a handy little guide to look up what was nearby when we ventured out.

Copenhagen is a fairly small city and fairly walkable, though it was raining quite a bit when I was there. Note that although the books contain subway maps with six lines, only the M1 and M2 (green and yellow on most maps I've seen) are operational as of August 2010... the others are planned. I think I read somewhere that they are not due to be completed until 2018.

I'm usually a Lonely Planet guy, but I tried this guide for Copenhagen this time and found it to be exactly what I needed for a 4 day trip to Copenhagen and surroundings. Outlines everything there is to be seen in and around Copenhagen in a convenient bite sized package.

In reviewing the book Frommer's "Copenhagen day-by-day" I found the book an excellent guide in finding your way around Copenhagen. Having been born in Copenhagen I knowing many areas that the book talked about I found the information such as the day-tours excursions, transportation, dining, hotels, museums, and interesting sights for children. There is so much helpful information in this book and the maps are excellent. I'm will be taking this book as a guide when I visit my native land this summer. Winnie Killpack

I read this before going, and I was comfortable with Copenhagen as soon as I arrived. The author's advice (train, not metro, from the airport for my hotel location) and opinions (favorite dining spots) are more useful than the factual descriptions.

I wish the map had an overlay of transit on streets, so I could plan my routes more easily. Copehnagen is very walkable and bikeable, but some areas are best reached by metro.

Easy to peruse and identify what wish to see, how to get there, and some idea of how long it takes!! Great for a short quick awareness of what important to visit if only visiting the country for a limited amount of time. Will provide an easily portable book as wandering around.
