Our flight home wasn't until 1625 and having "done" most of the city, we decided to visit Copenhagen's Den Bla Planet, Northern Europe's largest and most modern aquarium. This is not the sort of place we would normally go to, but as it's only 1 stop from the airport and the £22 entrance was covered by our Copenhagen Card we thought we'd give it ago
I don't have anything to compare it to, but I wasn't particularly impressed. I somehow thought it would be a more inclusive experience, actually walking through vast tanks (within glass obviously) rather than just viewing from in front. Plus it was full of pushchairs and screaming children.
My camera didn't like it either - far too dark - and as the fish keep moving I couldn't use the hand held night scene facility. In the end I used my phone but still rubbish pictures.
The building itself was rather interesting.
Our 72 hour Copenhagen Card had now expired but luckily the Blue Planet offered a free shuttle bus to the airport (and then into the City) so another £4.50 saved.
All in all we managed 3 days without any cash whatsoever and by using the Copenhagen Card we not only visited more places than we would normally have done, we also saved around £100 each. We'll certainly do our research and see if something similar is available for St Petersburg.
We were fairly early to the airport but able to print off our boarding passes and gain access to the lounge which was comfortable enough with a view of the runway and a living wall. The white wine, on tap, was also very nice.
All in all, Copenhagen is one of the nicer cities we've visited and we thoroughly enjoyed our mini break.
