Copenhagen

History, tradition and modern design go perfectly together

in this wonderful capital of Denmark.

 

Probably the best known view of Copenhagen: Nyhavn

 

But let yourself get lost in the spiderweb of streets and squares in the inner city.
 

 

 

 

Go to heaven for just a while.

You have the choice,

eat tiny pieces of smørrebrød or

be entranced by the blue and white traditional design

or by the modern design of Royal Copenhagen handpainted porcelain.

We did the latter but o I would have loved to try a smushi at the royal smushi cafe.

Guess we'll just have to go back sometime. I know I'd love to.

Copenhagen is a charming city.

 

I could totally see why lego was invented in Denmark.

Above is a (zoomed in) view from the top of the round tower (Rundetaarn)
you see pictures of underneath. A must if you visit Copenhagen.
The views from the top are great.

 

Climbing, yes, but no stairs, which I loved.

 

While you're there, enjoy an exhibition of hats made by art students in what was once
the university library. It brought back memories of a similar hat exhibition
by art students in our hometown. Maybe you remember the post I wrote about it back then.

 

 

 

I fell totally in love with the enormous amount of flower bouquets for sale on one of the squares.
Just look at these gorgeous peonies!

 

 

And what about these roses in a mix of colours? Fantastic!

 

 

And isn't the colour of these Hydrangeas amazing!?

 

 

Love the colourful buildings

 

 

as well as the modern design.

 

This is the Copenhagen Opera house.
It is just opposite of Amalienborg and the Marmorkirken(Marble Church)
on the other side of the water.
 

 

Love the fact that cars are almost completely banned from the city center.

 

 

Fairytales and magic, both a part of Copenhagen.

 

 

But let's explore the city a bit more first

 

and be enchanted....
 

 

A little toy soldier One of the guards at Amalienborg

wraps up this first post about Copenhagen.
