Des gens tous très gentils. Un exemple : nous arrêtons le bus 26 expliquant que nous allons rendre visite à la petite sirène. Le chauffeur dans un anglais parfait nous explique que c'est bien le 26 mais le suivant qui y va. Le chauffeur du bus suivant fut tout aussi aidant, aimable...
Le petit cartoville (Gallimard) sur Copenhague est vraiment très pratique.
La vie à Copenhague est très chère. C'est expliqué partout.
Changez votre argent à la banque à l'aéroport ou, si vous voulez prospérer, installez-vous comme agent de change à Copenhague (panneau bleu - CHANGE -).
Attention : le restaurant Hansens Gamle Familiehave (le 10 juin 2007 au soir) : le serveur fut très aimable et très présent jusqu'à l'addition. Après il fut très difficile de le faire revenir. Nous voulions lui expliquer que nous n'avions pas commandé ces deux plats et que la note n'était pas de 900 couronnes, chiffre rond qui incite le client "de bonne humeur" à mettre deux billets de 500 sur la table et à laisser un généreux pourboire. Non, l'addition était de 573 couronnes (ça fait mal quand même). Aucune excuse de qui que ce soit. Tout le reste fut parfait.
Bonjour Jaisalmer !🙂
Je rentre du Danemark où j'ai passé une semaine.
Et je vous rejoins dans l'idée que les Danois sont très accueillants et toujours prêts à vous aider que ce soit pour trouver votre chemin ou expliquer une carte au restaurant !
Ils sont spontanés et parlent très bien l'anglais et l'allemand..Seul bémol = en 8 jours seules 2 personnes rencontrées parlent le français dans les commerces ! !
Copenhague est une ville très propre et calme...🤪
J'ai vraiment préféré Aarhus en Jutland, c'est dynamique et se rapproche plus de nos villes françaises.😛
La vie est chère c'est vrai ! ! Mais ce qui est bien c'est l'accès de villes en villes qui sont très bien desservies en train et bus, il n'y à rien à redire, sans voiture nous avons parcouru pas mal de kilomètres !😉
Où est-ce que vous êtes allés?!Et combien de temps?
A bientôt pour de nouvelles discussions !
Bonne journée,
Nathalie😉
SAlut c'est marrant on a du se croiser je suis parti au danemark du 20 au 27 juin...on était pas au meme endroit surement lol
EN gros pour faire simple j'ai fait copenhague (environ 3 jours), roskilde (1 jour), odense et l'ile de fynn (3 jours) plus ribe / esbjerg et un peu du jutland sur le trajer l'autre jour....J'ai marié train et location de voiture pour être un peu plus libre de mouvement et vraiment profiter de la campagne et la côte danoise (surtout l'ile de fynn ou le sud vers svendborg et tronsoe et les iles de lagaland sont agréables).
Je suis totalement d'accord pour l'accueil et les habitants, d'autant plus que j'ai dormi chez l'habitant (contact pris avant le départ sur site d'hospîtalité)...ca m'a permis de rencontrer les habitants, qui m'ont souvent fait un tour de ville où sorties, donc bien plus agréable que de faire le touriste (ce que je déteste d'ailleurs lol)..
Cote cout de la vie, bien sur c'est une ile (ou presque) et c'est la scandinavie donc plus chère (train par exemple, logement si jamais vous alliez en hotel exhorbitant) mais ce n'est rien comparé à Oslo...et Copenhague est vraiment à taille humaine, super agréable à flaner à pied (car pas beaucop de voitures et vélo pour des raisons que je connais est super développé chez eux et bien pratique). Vive les scandinaves, allez j'y go....
A bientot, hésitez pas à me contacter...j'adore la scandinavie et j'y retournerais encore et encore..
Nous avons l'intention de nous rendre au Danemark début septembre (fin aout) pour une dizaine de jours. Comme vos séjours ont du prendre fin il y a peu de temps, je vous contacte pour savoir quels sont les bons plans.
Nous aimerions nous évader hors des grandes villes, cependant on va en profiter pour visiter Copenhague. Qu'est-ce qu'il faut absolument ne pas rater dans cette capitale danoise ?
Que nous conseilles-tu en terme de guide touristique ?
Les jours sont de quelle durée en septembre ?
Les gens parlent-ils courament anglais même en dehors des grandes villes ?
Pour les vols au départ de Paris ou Rennes, le + avantageux semble être Air France ou Sterling, ou peut être y a-t-il d'autres compagnies ?
Peut-on se déplacer facilement dans le pays en comptant uniquement sur les transports en commun ou doit-on plutot louer une voiture ? apprement oui, vu vos commentaires et en terme de prix ... ?
Quel budget vous etes vous fixé ? nous n'avons pas l'intention de faire des trucs extraordianiares mais en vacances on sait tous quon est vite tenter😉
Qu'est-ce qui est le plus avantageux Camping ou Auberge de jeunesse ? le 1er me semble + économique (mais en septembre peut etre qu il risque de faire froid ...) mais le 2eme permettraient de rencontrer + de monde...🤪
Merci par avance si quelqu'un a le temps de répondre à ces questions .
Je suis un danois(vivant à Bruxelles), et je vais essayer de repondre a vos questions:
Nous aimerions nous évader hors des grandes villes, cependant on va en profiter pour visiter Copenhague. Qu'est-ce qu'il faut absolument ne pas rater dans cette capitale danoise ? Christiania vaut la peine. Ville alternative des soixantehuitards - a voir avant que ca ne disparaisse...
http://www.christiania.org/modules.php?name=NukeWrap&page=/inc/guide/ le quartier de Vesterbro est sympatique (Istedgade, Vesterbro Torv, Bagerstræde) le quartier de Nørrebro (Sankt Hans Torv, Elmegade) Tivoli (surtout le soir avec les lumieres, touristique mais sympa) le metro (très moderne, style minimaliste) Excursion au nord de Copenhague: Helsingør (Elsinore en anglais). Ville sympatique au bord de la mer, ville du château de Kronborg (Shakespeare - Hamlet)
Les jours sont de quelle durée en septembre ? la nuit tombe vers 21h. Avec un peu de chance, il fera encore beau, mais il peut faire un peu froid le soir (10-15 c)
Les gens parlent-ils courament anglais même en dehors des grandes villes ? oui, pas de souci, l'anglais est parlé partout
Peut-on se déplacer facilement dans le pays en comptant uniquement sur les transports en commun oui. les connections sont bonnes et les villes assez petit pour faire a pied / bus / metro (a CPH uniquement)
ou doit-on plutot louer une voiture ? apprement oui, vu vos commentaires et en terme de prix ... ?louer une voiture est très chere. Je ne le ferais pas, sauf pour aller vraiment en campagne (l'ile de "Ærø" ou a "Skagen", ville sympatique au nord de Jutland).
Louer une voiture est beaucoup moins chere a Suede, alors, si besoin, on peut prendre le train de Copenhague a Malmø (45 min) pour louer une voiture la. Retourner via le pont + Tunnel, mais ca coute qm 35-40 euro pour le trajet simple
Quel budget vous etes vous fixé ? nous n'avons pas l'intention de faire des trucs extraordianiares mais en vacances on sait tous quon est vite tenter😉 ? c'est vrai que la vie est un peu chère 😕
Qu'est-ce qui est le plus avantageux Camping ou Auberge de jeunesse ? le 1er me semble + économique (mais en septembre peut etre qu il risque de faire froid ...) mais le 2eme permettraient de rencontrer + de monde...🤪
A Copenhague prendre l'auberge de jeunesse. Cab Inn = bonne rapport qualité prix, celui de Frederiksberg est toujours tres bien placé si centre ville occupé

We're heading to Genoa and the Cinque Terre in mid-October for a full week. We're planning to spend two and a half days—three nights—in the Cinque Terre. The idea is to hike between the villages and use the train (or boat) for the trip out (or back). We're thinking of staying overnight, and I was wondering which village to prioritize.
From January 1st to 4th, I’m heading to Barcelona for the first time. Beyond the tourist sites—which are going to cost me an arm and a leg!!—I’d love to spend a day off the beaten path and see some less touristy spots.
What do you recommend? I’ll be getting around on foot, by metro, or possibly by train if it’s not too far. I love both nature and cultural spots.
And one last thing—is Barcelona at night safe for a woman alone, or is it sketchy?
We’re traveling next summer with our three kids, ages 9 to 15. We’ll arrive in Cork by ferry with our car. We’d like to stay several nights at each stop to settle in, take our time, and stay flexible depending on the weather!
What do you think of this 18-day itinerary:
- Day 1: Arrival around 9:30 AM, drive to Kinsale to visit the village and Charles Fort, then accommodation
- Day 2: Blarney Castle + Cork, then accommodation
- Day 3: Travel to Kenmare (stopping at Gougane Barra?)
- Day 4: Glengariff and surrounding area
- Day 5: Healy Pass + southern Beara
- Day 6: Gap of Dunloe + Kenmare and Reenagross Park
- Day 7: Dursey Island
- Day 8: Killarney National Park
- Day 9: Travel to Clare (stopping at Bunratty)
- Day 10: Kilkee + Loop Head
- Day 11: The Burren
- Day 12: Aran Islands
- Day 13: Travel day to Connemara (stopping at Roundstone and Dog’s Bay or via Galway?)
- Day 14: Clifden + Sky Road + beach
- Day 15: Diamond Hill
- Day 16: Kylemore Abbey + Killary Fjord
- Day 17: Drive back to Cork (stopping at Cahir)
- Day 18: Departure
Hi there, after reading a well-known travel guide, it seems like there’s a lot to see and do in Valletta (I’m only talking about Valletta itself). That’s why I’m thinking of spending 2 days there. I don’t want to rush and would like to get a complete overview. However, I’ve noticed that some travelers only spend one day there. For those who know the city well, what do you think? (I’ve also planned the Three Cities for another day, by the way).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Our accommodation for 5 days will be near a "Carrefour by Deliveroo Hop." There doesn’t seem to be anything else nearby (it’s a very residential area).
I can’t figure out if it’s delivery-only or if you can also do your grocery shopping there. Does anyone know this type of store and could help me out, please?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I called, but I don’t speak Italian and the store doesn’t speak English—so they hung up on me.
Hi,
I’ve found my upcoming trip for February, and now I’m looking for a one-week getaway in April—somewhere not too far with generally nice weather. Any tips?
Best,😉
Hi, who’s familiar with the Algarve?
Lagos—should I go for a rental or a hotel? How do I get from the airport to the seaside, and how do I get around the city? What’s there to see and do?
Thanks for your ideas and tips!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.
Hello,

Anne

I need cheap flights departing from Toulouse and affordable accommodation for 4 people.
What do you recommend?
Best regards,
