So you want to have a look at some of the Copenhagen Sights in 3D before you leave home? No problem - the Danish Map producer KRAK has made it possible.
Examples of 3D sights
Here are some examples...

Tivoli in 3D
Copenhagen Zoo in 3D
Try it yourself
The KRAK website is in Danish, but you can try it anyway. Here is how you do it:
- Logon to the KRAK website
- If you want to find a specific building (sight, hotel etc.) - use the "Hvad" text box
- If you know the address - use the "Hvor" text box
- Press "Søg"
- Find the right place on the list and click at the "Kort" link
- Now you have a normal map - click at "Skråfoto" instead
- This is it - now you can zoom, turn the map etc.
Find your hotel
The 3D map is also a nice way to see the surroundings of a hotel. If you do not know where to stay, search for a hotel (e.g. at Hotels Combined), find the address and use the 3D map to see, if you like the location.
Right now it is only the big cities in Denmark, which have 3D maps - but more are coming every day.
By the way - if you want to know, where I am living, it is right here:
