København (Copenhagen)

Back to Carl's Roots in Denmark


      After only a few days in Budapest, we took a Sky Europe flight from Budapest to København. We were lucky to use Choice Hotel's rewards program and stayed at a Comfort Hotel in København --- saving over $750. The city was really nice and we enjoyed our time there, although catching only the tourist highlights. We enjoyed the Danish food, especially the hotel breakfast.
