SO MUCH to see in COPENHAGEN!!!

The city of Copenhagen Denmark has so much to see! We spent our first day in town taking a walking tour to get a feel for this historic city. Along the way we saw some of the top must see sights in the Old Town area. Starting at the City Hall we found a statue of Denmark's beloved Hans Christian Andersen overlooking his favorite sight: Tivoli Gardens. From there we continued down the bustling Stroget and along the relaxing harbor to the iconic Nyhavn. This postcard perfect spot was ideal for slowing down and having a drink while taking it all in! We then continued our stroll through more of the beautiful city before ending up at the famous albeit small Little Mermaid statue. Copenhagen really blew us away with the sights and overall feel of the town! We can't wait to continue exploring more of this wonderful place!

also, some other inspirations to see from a native Dane: - the Tivoli gardens! a bit expensive to get in, but filled with 2-3 good rollercoasters and attractions. - Holmen. This can be seen shortly at @9:21 this is an area that used to be the central naval base for the Danish navy. The warship that can be seen in the background is called Peder Skram was a frigate in the Royal Danish Navy that was in use until 1990. It is now docked where it serves as a privately operated museum ship along with a few ships of the Royal Danish Naval Museum. The ship is named after Peder Skram, a 16th-century Danish admiral. The museum is open at selected intervals of the year. - refshaløen and street food. Near Holmen is refshaløen which used to be an industrial and shipping area. But nowadays there is a lot of good street food and restaurants. - Krigsmuseet/Tøjhusmuseet. If you like military history, this place will be something for you! located close to Christiansborg, this is home to the longest cannon halls of Scandinavia. This was a weapons depot where the danish navy could get loaded up with arms and food before sailing out on missions. Today this is made into a museum that harbors an extensive amount of weapons, armors, and other things related to Denmark's history as a nation of warfare on both land and sea.

Wow those are some great tips, thanks! We can’t wait to go back someday and will be sure to check out the places you mentioned. We did make it to Tivoli gardens and it was awesome. That wooden roller coaster was a blast!

Sometimes, the most surprising things for foreign tourists when they visit Copenhagen is actually when they find out that most of the old part of Copenhagen burned down 3 times or at least the most known times this happened. The first time, and probably the worst, was in 1728 where the majority of the so-called latin quarters burned down. The next great fire was in 1795, where the fire consumed a belt from The New Kings Square all the way through the old town up to the current city hall square. The last big fire was in 1807 where Copenhagen was bombarded by the British Navy during the Napoleonic wars where Denmark was allies with France. On top of this, a little side note is that Christiansborg Palace is actually the third palace of that name. Christiansborg Palace No. 2 burned down in 1884 and it took several years before a decision was made to rebuild the castle. In the meantime, the royal family moved to Amalienborg Palace (where they still reside). When the current Christiansborg Palace was finished, the king refused to move in. He wanted to stay with his family at Amalienborg. Like so many other places in Denmark, Copenhagen is full of history. The lake in Tivoli Gardens is actually a leftover from the old moat surrounding Copenhagen. If you ever want to see any remains of the old fortification that surrounded Copenhagen, you should visit Kastellet (The Citadel) facing Copenhagen Harbor or go over to Amager where part of the original ravelins are still present to this day. So most of the "old" part of Copenhagen is actually from the 1700s. While there are a few places older than that, they are not as numerous as many people may believe. The oldest buildings in Denmark are actually churches. The oldest church in greater Copenhagen is Brønshøj Church about 7-8 km from the city center. The oldest part of the church is from the 1180s and the church tower is from 1450. The building in Denmark with probably the oldest surviving parts is probably Sankt Jørgensbjerg Kirke in Roskilde where the oldest parts of the church can be dated to approximately 1080.

Wow, thanks for the information on such an amazing city. Hopefully we’ll get to go back and do some more in-depth sight seeing. We will definitely need to spend more than a week there next time!

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Nice info!

[@KHValby]

Thanks for your wonderful portrayal of my City 👍 ! Great VLOG ❤️ ! Y'all come back now..., you hear 👍😎👍

[@AndersonsArrive]

Will do, we loved Copenhagen!

[@walternyc]

Good job guys. Going in four weeks. one and a half day in the city, one for the castles. Hopefully not to cramp. I will try that hot dog! Can't wait.

[@AndersonsArrive]

Hope you have an amazing time, we sure did!

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Nice place watching from Portugal 😍🥰😘 new sub and bell ❤

[@KS-lm1ji]

Any suggestions for accomodations?

[@KHValby]

Airbnb. A good Hotel option is "Cab INN". There usually cheaper than the bigger brands. There are 3 Cab INN's about 10-15 minute walk from the central station and Tivoli (and downtown). One of them is opposite the Copenhagen Marriott. Otherwise there are some really good "Hostel" options, well located. Be warned! CPH is not cheap 😒 !

[@KHValby]

"Cab INN's" usually don't have restaurants and there rooms are smaller. Google them 😊. The 3 I've mentioned are all next to other Hotels, with restaurants, and near the CPH Mall (5-10 minute walk). To be fair. I haven't stayed at a Cab INN myself, but I haven't heard anything bad about them, and they look nice, clean and modern. Looking forward to Y'all visiting CPH 😍 !

[@slowdive2200]

Hi! Did you have to pay with cash for the hot dog? Wondering whether I should withdraw cash at the airport for my upcoming trip...

[@AndersonsArrive]

Oh we probably did. We usually get some cash at an ATM most places we go just in case somewhere only takes cash. But we did find a picture on google that looked like they had a credit card machine at a Hot Dog stand. Sorry we can’t remember!

[@Freedom_123]

In Scandinavia the most of the time you pay with credit card.. so you have to issue a revolut card to avoid the procurement.

[@michl317]

You can pay by card literally everywhere in Copenhagen! :)

[@Rex1987]

most hotdog stands also take mobilpay or google pay if you have that. mobilpay is mostly a thing for people with a danish bank account however.
