Copenhagen
If you haven't been to this northern capital of Denmark, you are missing out on a lot. Copenhagen is by far the busiest and most interesting big cities in Scandinavia next to Stockholm. Located east of the country on its own island, not far from the Swedish border, Copenhagen is the melting point for many people that emigrated here, as well as a lot of Danish people who urbanized into this big city. When you first visit the city, don't be confused with the Danish Kroner, since the country didn't go for the Euro. Copenhagen was rated number three city in Europe after London and Paris as an expensive place to live and to visit, but its well worth every cent. The city is famous for the Tivoli, which is located pretty much downtown, close to the main station. Here you will enjoy the entertainment park, with many restaurants, fairies, and also a lot of nightly concerts, which draw thousands of people to this place. Also visit the city center next to the Tivoli, where you can go shopping and see a lot of the typical architecture of the city, whereas the parliament is the most outstanding building you will see.Copenhagen's national monument is the small mermaid, which sits close to the city center at the harbor, and is known for being the statue of liberty of Denmark.Copenhagen is also known for its local bars, where you can enjoy the typical Danish beer Tuborg or Carlsberg. 5 Euros for a beer is pretty normal, so get used to the high prices. You won't really care when you drink an expensive beer, when you get to talk to a beautiful blonde Danish girl, who you will see a lot in Copenhagen. The area of Nyhavn is a lot of people's favorite. Very low key with small streets and shops and boutiques are located in this area, where you will also find many local bars, where you can enjoy music and drinks. It is also quite interesting to see, that there are a lot of Irish bars in Copenhagen, and you should stop by the famous Dubliner, which is the best Irish bar in town. The so called Stroget is close to the parliamential building, and that is where the shopping strip starts. Try to go into the local small boutiques, where you should find unique stuff to feed your appetite of shopping. Notice that the prices are pretty fair, but you can also find some discounts in the stores. You can also visit some flea markets which is typical for the city. A lot of the younger crowd in Copenhagen is very alternative, so you will find a lot of old school clothing as well as Bars and the Music from the time 20 or 30 years ago. The city is definitely worth a trip, and from Copenhagen, you can easily hop on train and go to Sweden, which is only thirty minutes away. Also you are only a couple of hours away from the German border, and the city of Hamburg is only three and a half hours driving time away.Comments
