What a very cool city. I can't even quite put into words the experience I had of exploring Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The Scandinavians use the hygge term to refer to a comfort and cozy feeling; it was like that but more hip, exciting, freedom, everyone's equal type vibe.
What makes Copenhagen so cool? It doesn't seem to try, but it just is. It's just enough classy (Tesla taxis) and enough trashy (the Christiana free town squatters) to make it all work together. There is an abundance of transit options: subway, commuter trains, boats, buses, walking, cars and the king of the road known as the bicycle. All of these seem to just work together.
I had almost no plans or research into the city. I knew I was staying near the center, and wanted to just see what I could stumble upon. I rented a bike for a few days to live like the locals. And even though there were several heavy rain downpours that I got caught in, I saw some interesting areas and sites. With minimal fanfare, that list of sites include among others:
- the Kastellet fort
- Rosenborg Castle
- Kings Garden
- King's New Square
- Østre Anlæg Park
- Ørsteds Park
- Amalienborg Palace
- the Free town of Christiania
- Opera house
- Amager strand
- shopping streets
- canals and islands
- Tivoli amusement park
- central station
Recommend:
- renting a bike
- Amager strand beach and park
- Nyhavn
- Strøget pedestrian shopping street
- bars and restaurants of Westerbro
