6/19/26 Copenhagen

First full day in Copenhagen…. Was here 10 years ago and did a hop and and hop off bus tour which did not do Copenhagen any justice. It’s so much more prettier and textural when we walk all around town from Nyhavn

  1. Tivoli Gardens
  • Highlights: One of the oldest amusement parks in the world, beautiful gardens, restaurants, thrilling rides, and evening light displays. We love how the theme park juxtaposed with esthetic gardens and make it super special…. They said it inspires Disney to create Disney land
  1. Nyhavn
  • Turns out Hens Christian Anderson used to live only a couple of houses to the right of our airbnb. Living here is wonderful where we feel the heart beat of this iconic location. Laughters and drinking lasts through the night and people start their morning run early in the evening
Hans Anderson Christian lived here b4
Courtyard view
  1. Rosenborg Castle
  1. Copenhagen City Hall (Rådhus)
  • Highlights: A stunning building in the heart of the city; climb the tower for impressive views.
  • Tip: Check for any interesting events or exhibitions that might be happening during your visit.
Saw this Hall in TV show Borgen a lot! 
Lots of people getting married and taking photos at the city hall
  1. Strøget
    • Highlights: One of the longest pedestrian streets in Europe filled with shops, boutiques, cafes, and street performers.
Many kiosk tbat looks like these selling ice-creams and drinks…. They used to be telephone booths

P also visited two art museums… The Thorvaldsens museum

While P is browsing, I’m taking a much needed coffee break here

.. And NY Carlsberg Glytotek

The Glyptoteks collection is huge…especially sculptures which P loves
Saw this stairs from Christianborg palace and remembered they are from my favorite show Borgen

The Black diamond (aka the Royal Library)

Bicycles everywhere
Love the local summer fashion and riding on bicycle in flip flops

Amalienborg Palace…

Home of the royal Danish family

Thus concludes another 20,000 plus steps day in Copenhagen… Love the location of our airbnb in Nyhavn where almost every important attraction is within 30 mins walking distance
