Denmark, - The southernmost and smallest of all Scandinavian countries. The population of Denmark is only 5.5 million people! Despite the fact that Denmark enters the European Union, in the go there are only Danish crowns here, and not the euro! Official language, - Danish! But everyone is fluent in English.

After Italy, everything was very and very expensive here and not quite usually! After all, in Denmark, one of the highest levels of life in the world! Yes, the salary of people here are very high, quality products!

Copenhagen, - Capital and the largest city of Denmark. It is located on the Islands of Zealand, Slotsholman and Amaager. The population of the city is a little less than 1 million people.

View of Copenhagen from the hotel Bella Sky.. There are no people at all!

Hall inside the hotel.

Ferrari and Nastya.

Metro Copenhagen is very expensive! The cost of a trip one way is 24 crowns. That approximately equal to 150 rubles. There are no turnstiles in the subway, you can actually go for free where you want. But if the controller comes and caught you without a ticket you will have to pay a fine of 750 kroons (or about 5,000 rubles).

Ticket photos:

And controllers as it turned out. Here it is in the photo with a beak "M" on the back.

Escalators in the subway will be brought straight to the street. No need to turn on foot on stairs.

Entrance to the subway.

In Copenhagen, everyone goes with children. Children unreal amount! They were full of Eurovision! And more often there are dads with children.

And also ride bicycles! They are there even more than in Italy! According to statistics, approximately 50-60% of the Danes prefer a bike, state public transport, and ride around the city exclusively on bicycles!

Everywhere there are cycling, highlighted strips and traffic lights for cyclists.

Traffic lights from cyclists their own.

All on bicycles!

First I went to look at Botanical Garden in Copenhagen! In the garden are not allowed with dogs and bicycles!

Near the garden was Rosenborg Castle, - The former residence of the Danish kings!

On the territory of the castle is the most popular Copenhagen Park, - Royal Garden!

Ponds are full of friendly pigeons, ducks and swans! No one hits anyone and does not bite!

Log in charge (25 kroons)

The top tier tower, which rises by 36 meters above the pavement level, occupies a planetarium. No steps. Top will lead a gentle-rifted rise in 210 meters. Thanks to such a device in the tower, wagons and riders on horseback could raise.

The exhibition of hats took place in the tower.

Church of Trinity, closely adjacent to the tower.

The same hangar is visible, where Eurovision and huge windmills located in the sea took place. It is thanks to the Danish winds, electricity to Eurovision has fully supplied these windmills. It is this hangar that spoils all the impression of the city.

By reference below, you can look at the panorama Copenhagen Copenhagen with Tower

View of Copenhagen from the observation deck on the tower.

In the middle of the tower there is a round small room with a glass floor.

It seems that the bottom is very high! From this stand on such a floor not very fun.

It became cold and we decided to go down to go further. Walking through the streets met musicians! Well played!

Happy Wall - Interactive happy wall! It consists of almost 2000 panels, all
who wants can turn these panels to create samples, words or statements. The only restriction is your imagination.

New Harbor (Nyhavn) - The oldest part of the harbor in Copenhagen. This is one of the most popular seats Meetings both Danes and tourists! Along the harbor cost cozy multicolored houses! Also here you can enjoy a delicious Danish beer in the open-air bars. As soon as the sun appears in early spring, the Danes are made out of chairs and tables to the street, and from the first day of Copenhagen of the summer on the pier, people crowded, enjoying the view of moored wooden sailboats.

You can also ride the boats along the promenade.

If you do not want to sit, you can take beer with you. This is allowed!

Slowly we reached central Square Copenhagen, - Rodgupless.

At Square is the Copenhagen Mayer Hoodie.

And in the evening I went to the Park Tivoli!

Tivoli, - The famous amusement park. It is located in the very center of Copenhagen, is considered one of the oldest parks of Denmark! Nowadays the Park Tivoli attend about 4 million guests annually!

It became evening. Many different lights lit in the park!

Upon reference below, you can look at the night panorama Park Tivoli.removed from the tower in a greater resolution of 2500px: Park Tivoli

We still looked a little and went to the hotel.

Having connected a couple of hours, early in the morning we went to the airport! It's nice that the metro is round the clock!

Quietly and during the airport and flew in Oslo.

Copenhagen I liked, an interesting city, a pleasant modern architecture. But completely all this does not combine with the old hangar for Eurovision. It is very poor, it is necessary to demolish it and replace something more beautiful. In general, Italy was definitely more interesting, more beautiful and much cheaper.

You can look at my route in Copenhagen by reference below:

We leave, there are very fussy places, but still pleasant, strict (see Part 1) and moving towards the main attraction of Copenhagen (judging by postcards and magnets)- towards the new harbor. Promenade (pedestrian zone) Strogness, in principle, comes to the harbor almost close, but will catch, before, in the surrounding area. Moreover, it is not crowded here at all (those tourists who did not dare in Strogness are seen, apparently, in the harbor), and see, it seems, there is something.

Here, for example, the Palace of Christiansborg:

The Danish Parliament is sitting here. Before building an equestrian statue of one of the most popular kings of Denmark Frederick VII:

A pretty place, especially (in addition to the spire of the Church of St. Nicholas, who is visible from this angle), it opens, if you look in the opposite direction, View of a very unusual Bursen Spire - Copenhagen Stock Exchange Buildings:

The 56-meter spire of an old building (17th century) is four (by some sources) of dragons, tailored by tails:

"There is no special meaning in the dragons - it's just a talisman," some guidebooks write so. However, we saw only three dragons intertwined by tails, which means (on other sources) the Union of Denmark, Sweden and Norway (may Wikipedia forgive me). The building of the Exchange is located on it specially created in the 17th century artificial embankment, which in itself is quite enjoyable.The building itself is beautiful, liked (inside to get today, it seems, it is impossible). Store building:

Both Christiansborg, and the Exchange are located on the bank of the canal (more precisely - on the island of Slotsholman, cut off the canals from the rest of sushi), so the general view is quite exciting:


Of course, no special feeling that you are on the island, no - it is impossible to understand, on the island you or on the mainland if you do not read Wikipedia. After passing a little deep into the island, we came to a pretty kindergarten in front of the old building of the Danish Royal Library. It is not difficult to guess that there is almost no person here (why would it be?), Although here is beautiful and calmly:

In the pond, there are hundreds of red fish, around all green, in colors. I can not believe that you are in the very center of a big city.

Library building:

Now it is only one of the library buildings (central), there are others in different parts of the city. By the way, this is one of the largest libraries in the world. And here in the 60s, the world's largest embezzlement of books occurred - in the amount of $ 50 million! (About 3200 volumes of historical books). After 30 years, the thief was found (it was clear that they were the employee of the library, "they calculated on the lot at the auction), but the books, alas, did not find everything - only half.
Near the pond to the library - a monument to a philosopher Kierkegaran:

on whose grave we already visited. Before entering the garden - the statue of Count Griffenefeld, the Danish politician. Some one is cheerful for the monument)

Leaving Slotsholman Island admire the equestrian statue of the Absalone Archbishop - the legendary founder of the capital of Denmark:

Back in the 19th century, Danes called their capital Axelstadt, and not Copenhagen (Axel is one of the names of the Bishop of Absalone).
We are heading to the new Royal Square of Copenhagen (Kongens Nytorv), which directly connects the strict and new harbor. On the road, not far from the square, a monument to the Danish Admiral Nielsu Yuell, who started his official career of the Fleet and sent to the admiral of the fleet, so luck!

Well, we, however, are not so lucky - the largest square of Copenhagen (and, according to some data, is the most beautiful) Kongens Nytorv turned out to be almost completely acquired by a construction fence, so we did not see it. Around the area there are the most fashionable hotels, bars and cafes (in addition to shops). Judging by the expensive car parked at this restaurant, it really is:

Also on the square is the building of the Royal Denmark Theater - the largest theater in the country. Before entering the theater, there are two outstanding Danish writers: Ludwig Holberg and Adam Elenshleger:


Well, it's enough in the literal sense to walk around and about, because we are almost in New Harbor (Nyukhavn) - Copenhagen's main postcard!


Participate, as you understand, there is nothing to do - just admire.

The kilometer channel of 15 meters wide was a breakthrough in the 17th century to ease the ships pass to the Royal Square, where, at that time, it was the main concentration of shopping shops and warehouses. At the end of the harbor, it is worth an anchor in memory of the sailors who died in the second world war:

The main charm of the harbor gives old multicolored houses (some of about 300 years already), all the first floors of which turned into restaurants; As well as vintage schooners moored in the channel, many of which have retained their original appearance. In one of these houses, Hans Christian Andersen lived and worked, that is, here were born here: and a thumbnail, and the snow queen, and the princess on the pea, and the resistant tin soldier, and the mermaid, and the nasty duckling, and the naked king, and ... You can list and enumerate!

Here, right among the crowd of tourists, ship masters make their masts, splint sets and masts:


By the way, before Nyhavn, the citizens called the Copenhagen quarter of red lanterns, it was the most dangerous place in the town. But in 1980, the area was put in order, restored, and now it is a visiting card of the city.



Prices for food here are the highest in the city. However, in restaurants and terraces all places are busy. Part of tourists are sitting directly on the walls of the canal. Almost no one walks here - everyone chew, basically) so nothing prevents us from enjoying a walk:

You can also sit here on such a sightseeing boat, who for an hour will ride you on most urban channels. The guide speaks in three languages \u200b\u200b(English, German and Danish).

In the evening we did. True, we swept along all those places that have already managed to walk on foot, so we did not cause a special interest. But if you prefer less active movement around the city - it seems to be what you need. And it is quite inexpensive, something about 5 euros per person. It is impossible to go from the boat during the excursion, it doesn't stop stopping - he will bring you here.

Nyuhavn left some mixed feelings. It seems to be pleasant here, but there is a feeling of some kind of incompleteness, incompleteness. Probably, it is because of the buildings around, and some houses are engraved with construction forests. In general, it seems to me that the harbor has already switched the face of "Popsibility", that is, here you are already careful about attracting tourists than, in fact, about the harbor. Sign of decline, in my opinion. I hope I'm mistaken. Let me remind you that we have not met anything like that in Helsinki - no landmark leaves behind such a feeling of "trap for tourists." Probably the same property (again, in my opinion), it can boast Monaco, Munich and Rome. And it can not boast - Florence.
Okay, leave the harbor and take a look at the statue of the Mermaid (another business card of the city), to which it still stump and stump! It is completely not even in the city center, two kilometers from the new harbor (something, when we went to her, it seemed much further. True, we walked somehow circles \u003d)).

Walking along the channel of the new harbor, we went out on the coast of the main channel of the city, which divides the whole city almost in half, and which, nevertheless (which is rather strange), has no name (I did not find such a name). On the other shore there is a building of the Copenhagen Opera House:

This ultra-modern structure cost the city in half a billion dollars. To date, this is the most expensive opera house building in the world. The theater is located on one of the islets of the Holman archipelago.
Right opposite the theater (on our side of the channel) is the Royal Palace Amalienborg - the official residence of the Danish royal family. The palace consists of four buildings that surround the octagonal area:

In the center of the square equestrian statueFrederick V. . This monument is recognized as one of the best in the world, among the equestrian monuments. The French sculptor Jacques Sali spent 15 years on its manufacture, and of them most of the time for the study of the habit and sketch of horses.
The guard Guardsman at one of the entrances to the palace:

The high fur caps of the Danish Guardsmen are the gift of the Russian emperor Aleandra III to his test, the Danish king Christian IX. By the way, we managed to see the shift of the guard Guardsmen - scarlet, in principle:

Although they say that many specially come to look at this action (daily at 11-30). In general, the whole palace in the style of Rococo, and the area with the Guards is completely flexible against the background of the dome of the marble church, see:

In general, probably correctly to say the palace with an area beautifully complements the temple with the largest dome of the Northern Europe (diameter of 31 meters). Cathedral is charming. His appearance made a much greater impression on me than the Cathedral of St. Peter in Rome (whose domes from the main square of the Vatican is almost not visible at all!), Although their dome is very similar.


But inside, as usual, nothing special: church, church. Lutheran, this time:

It's good that the entrance is free. Unlike Milan or Riga. Dome from the inside:

Well, go further. At all near the marble church, the Orthodox Church of Alexander Nevsky shed from the marble church:

So habitual to our Orthodox eye structure that there is nothing to add here:

At the next street is an attractive building of the hotel "Admiral". Historic building, previously served by port warehouses:


We go along the most unremarkable streets. Come across ultra-modern sculptures:

But it does not pass 10 minutes, and we are in Churchill's Park (as you remember, each resident of the city must, by the commendable conviction of the Copenhagen authorities, walking to the green zone from his home no longer than 15 minutes). The park is named after the outstanding British politician after serious help from the England provided to Denmark, in liberation from fascist invaders to the second world war. Park - P.ridate quiet place, almost on the shores of the main channel with its lake, green grass and various sculptures. Here, for example, not quite a common sculpture, never found anywhere, what is this monument:

Near the graceful "Valkyrie" (the heroine of Scandinavian mythology, which serves as a wiring in the afterlife of the heroes fell on the battlefield) of the outstanding sculptor Stephen Sinding:

The Anglican Church of St. Alban is located here - the structure of a very attractive outfit, which side does not look at it:


After all, the truth is beautiful?

Inside (free entry):

By sources some inconsistencies: part of the sources indicate that the church is in Churchill Park, the other part is that in Langelination Park. Well, God with them. All this looks like one big park on the shore of a huge harbor (canal). By the way, it is here, to this park, cruise giants-liners are approaching when they come to Copenhagen.
Right next to the Church building, a huge fountain-waterfall of GeFion, alas, at this time of the year is not working:


The gephion is the Scandinavian goddess of fertility, a virgin serving the dead girls. According to the legend, for sweet and entertaining speeches, the King of Sweden promised the goddess so much ground as much as possible to hover in the hijah fourth bulls in one night. The gephion was injected in the hustle of his sons born from Giant (where did the virgin from the sons in the legend, are not specified), which hectrine has turned into bulls. In short, they disappeared from Sweden not a weak piece of earth (Zealand Island), which, in fact, became Dania (today Zealand Island is only part of Denmark. It is located on its parts Copenhagen). The gephion sculpture is very beautiful, see:

Well-groomed green parking lots are pleased with the gray stone:

Other tourists begin to appear, in addition to us - it is clear: meters through 200 sculpture of the little mermaid. A column dedicated to the admiral with the name of the Great Northern War is towers over the park, dedicated to the Guittfeld - Hero of the Great Northern War:

Immediately the monument to the last king of Denmark (the queen went further) Frederick IX. It fell sorry for him (he is so lonely, the tourists are not suitable for him), so imprinted \u003d)

We are directly on the banks of the canal and from here you can see (on another lamination of the harbor) submarine and warships are museum exhibits. (In the lower left corner of the photograph, the metal parenchy sat down to relax):

The excursion boat will bring you down closer to them:

Opera building from this side:

Next, on the stream of the channel, only the industrial zone that creates a very romantic background for the "Little Mermaid", so the Little Mermaid cards are usually photographed a little from above, in order to hide the factory pipes:

We really have already near the famous statue, the accumulation of tourists clearly talks about it:

Okay, so she herself - the famous sculpture "Mermaid":

It is large enough: her height is sitting 125 cm. That is, if she gets up, a sorty 2-meter beauty will appear before us. Let you do not confuse not entirely perfect (according to modern standards) the body of a bronze beauty. Karl (the son of the founder brewed "Karlsberg", about which we have already spoken in the first part) was fascinated by ballet on the fairy tale "Mermaid" or Ballerina, most likely. Apparently, he decided to impress the ballerina, ordering the statue "Little Mermaids", and the model for the statue, on the idea of \u200b\u200bKarl, was supposed to be exactly what she was - Ballerina Ellen Price - but she refused to pose naked (not rolled by Karl). Since the process has already gone, the sculptor had to sculpt the body of the statue from his wife. Ballerina gave the "mermaid" only head. Which (head), by the way, to say, for the first time they saw the statue in 1964 (51 after the installation of the monument). I had to do a new one (old - not found). In 1998, the head was again successfully dug off (not successfully saw the eight years earlier), the truth was anonymously returned. Once screamed her hand. Once blew and 175 kilographer fell from the post. From curiosities: On March 8, 2006, the Falimmitator was inserted in the hand "Mermaid", painted green paint and wrote on the pedestal "March 8" (congratulated, so to speak). In addition to the above: The bra was drew, painted in pink color, dressed in Muslim dress and hijab. In short, it is not lucky "mermaid", right as in the same fairy tale. There, the mermaid, who fell in love with the prince, gave his tail for him, and he did not appreciate (well, as usual).
And, by the way. On the very fact, the mermaid is no mermaid - and the sea virgin! The mermaid, in Slavic mythology - with legs and "on the branches is sitting", and not swimming in the sea. The fact that today in Russian Mermaid is a girl with a fish tail, the merit, including Andersen, with his "mermaid" (literal translation from the Danish name of this fairy tale - "Little Sea Lady").
By the way, take pictures with sculpture so that other tourists do not fall into the frame, just enough:

Well, noticeable and go on. Not far from the "Mermaid" - bust and monument to Maria Orleans, the wife of one of the Danish princes. It was distinguished by some disregard for royal traditions, for example, photographed with a fire team (which, at the end of the 19th century, was somehow not on Feng-Shui). In short, I loved life and attacked four princes and one princess:

Though the street is not so hot (+8) on the lamps are relaxing quite easily dressed by local residents:

Our next goal is lunch, and on one of the islands. As we learned, well (and not expensive: for 10 euros, on average) you can eat different street food dishes on the artificial island of Christiansholm. Here, in the hangar, there are many shops with street food from all over the world! From Chinese and Japanese to American and Brazilian - more than 35 kitchens from all over the world! A unique place is a paradise for a budget traveler (and for not budget - too!). Here is the exact location of this place.
However, the first snag. Food, on the island! And the only bridge that constructs the island group with the rest of the city is located on the island of Slotsholmen, remember where the stock exchange ... go back there on foot, and even on an empty stomach ... We decided to wait for the ship! As it turned out, water "minibuses" will run through the canals in Copenhagen. And here, not far from the "Little Mermaid" just the pier-stop. How to use minibuses we did not have any idea. Let's wait-s. Maybe we will deal. The stop is hanging the scheme and timetables of such water "buses", but there are no rates and ticket offices. Hmm Soon, almost perfectly on schedule, moored the redhead boat (it turns out that these red boats are a feature of the Danish capital):

We are trying to figure out the captain how to pay for the passage and how much it costs - it shows pass to the salon, we'll figure it out. We pass, worry) Such a salon:

After a few minutes, we are already on the other side of the channel (on the Holman archipelago, where is the opera, remember?) And we need to go out. Again, turn to the captain (on one of the komanada stops, the captain is already different): how to pay for the passage? How much is? He asks: - Do you go here? - Well yes. - Well, go, everything is OK) for sure? Yes)
In short, rolled for free. Surprisingly, the fact, as they say)
Beautiful ancient schooner moored here, where we went with the "minibus" (Holmen Nord berth):

Later, on the excursion, the guide said that it was fully operating and used for training purposes - it prepares future sailors.
There is already a completely different Copenhagen, everything is very well maintained. And somehow deserted. Very little cars and cyclists. There are almost no pedestrians and not visible tourists at all:



Here are such house complexes here, as it turned out, one of the most expensive and modern in Copenhagen (and in the world):


The price for 84 square meters (standard apartment here) according to some data is about three million euros! This is the most high price behind private apartment worldwide. Closer:

As you can see, as if nothing special.
It is easy to understand that the personal transport of the owners of these expensive apartments (in addition to the cybles) make up yachts and other water transport (remind, we are on the islands):

This area is really very quiet (as, say, in Monaco, if compared), the purest sea air, the most advanced technologies, the most environmentally friendly conditions for residence and TP. Here you experience, however, do not envy - admiration! The admiration is also the fact that Denmark is not a country sitting on the oil-gas-all-table-Mendeleev pipe and due to this is such a developed. Denmark does not have its natural resources at all! (There are no resources, Karl!) Such a high level of economy is achieved at the expense of small business - 77% (!) The entire economy is holding on it (or rather, with taxes from it). Only 1% accounted for a large capital. Eh, - Other Planet! Considering the world's lowest in the world by the corruption of the authorities, the lowest percentage of unemployment ... In short ... in short, we go further.

And then it was waiting for disappointment: on Monday, Streed Food does not work ... Well. Honestly, it is a pity that we did not visit (and did not try everything there!) In such a unique place. I hope the chance will also be introduced.

But, moving away from the island with Food Steet on a hundred meters, we get to Christianshavn - the charming area of \u200b\u200bCopenhagen! (We are still on this database channel, where opera). Just take a look!



Yes, it is not "sophisticated" New Harborso to speak!

Christianhavn is the area on the artificial embankment created by the invited Danish king of the Goldia architects at about the same time as the embankment for the exchange (in the 17th century). There is a fairly narrow channel, around which houses are located, as well as in the new harbor, only the channel is three times longer. The closer you are to the bridge connecting this group of islets (Holman) with the rest of the city (with about.Slotsholmen) - the more people along the canal. Very many different yachts,someone even lives right on the yacht, apparently:

Small ships are interspersed with large modern yachts:



Interesting yacht name:

Just like in Nyuhavn, there are vintage ships:

Here, even a high-rise building is adorable:


However, tourists here not only because of Christianshavn. Here is located, one can say, a separate state - Christiania. Yes, yes, separate from Denmark a semi-legal state with its own laws (for example, it is prohibited herecars, theft, heavy drugs, firearms, while allowed by marijuana and hashish, unlike the Denmark itself). The essence of what. The Hippie Group (about 1000 people live in Christianity) in the 70s of the last century I was illegally united to the abandoned barracks, where it still lives in its laws. The repeated attempts of the authorities to evict them from there met strong resistance. In short, until today, the Danish authorities are trying to liquidate the Danish authorities (repressive methods, a clear case, in one of the most developed countries of the world are not applied). So far failed.
As it seems, all this sounds romantic - people are fighting for their freedom and independence from any form of government and state (such an idea to many in the souls) and you just want to be happy for the fact that they successfully carry out their anarchist ideas ... We walked there with such joyful mood.And in general, I wanted to see what it looks like when drugs traded in the open. But in fact, it turned out all the not romantic and even Merzko.
Immediately I note that it is forbidden to take pictures on the greater territory of Christia (they do not want hippies to be close to (and may the police?) Find out that they live in Christiania). Special (types of road) signs warn you about it. One of the entrances to Christia:


Inside:

Next, it is already impossible to photograph. I'll tell you, in general, how everything looks like there. A small street, along it, several booths with merchants who have completely closed faces. They offer various bags with marijuana on the windows - showcases and appearance, It seems, - Hashish tiles. A couple of people with closed persons simply stand without anything in his hands, but also, apparently, something trades. We saw a couple of times as a person comes to the booth, he immediately without questions, the seller gives a white powder bag (heavy drugs here seems to be prohibited) and man leaves. What is in the bag?)) It looks like this is somehow dirty, no special freedom is not felt ... The street ends with a rather large bar terrace with a lot of tables filled with people and all the "blowing shoals", drinking beer. In the air, the specific smell of "herbs". In short ... An ordinary drug addict is trying to pass for "fighting for freedom." I am not against drugs and even fully support their (drugs) legalization, but if there is nothing to offer anything other than the drugs of Christia (or anyone else) can not, - what is this? What to fight something? What to support? I would like to see the day when drugs legalize in Denmark. I think that day, Christians will finish their existence.
Frustrated leaving the corner of the pseudo-grade and return to the European Union:

Do not try to get out of here, bought something "authentic", because in the EU these souvenirs are illegal)))
The main entrance:

Water Christians (photos from the excursion boat):

You can find Christia, you can easily focus on the beautiful Spire of the Savior Church:

On the 90-meter spire, according to legend, along the stairs twisted around him, they can rise (in order to touch his globe who turns his globus) only the most courageous representatives of humanity. Nevertheless, someone makes selfie almost at the globe) See:

The spire is really beautiful and, I am sure that it should be climbed (it costs a little less than five euros) ... but we were already very and very laziness)))

Church from the gate of Christianity:

Well, we all planned - looked.
Go again on Strogness to buy magnetics and send yourself a postcard. Take, by the way, on the note is a good tradition! Buy a postcard with the type of desirable place where you have already visited, write something yourself and send to your home address - Souvenir is ready! (Brands are always selling there, where and postcards, and the mailbox is any in the city). You will arrive home, and perhaps you are already waiting for your postcard, giving pleasant memories (usually, we return earlier cards).

Booking, in addition to the magnetics, there are also several stickers on the suitcase (also our tradition) go to Nyuhavn to make a water walk, as I said, through the city channels. Several pictures ending our trip from the excursion boat:






So that is all.
Do I want to return to Copenhagen? Yes! And first of all, for the sake of two things. So far to eat that street food from all over the world, which is so unique in one place. And the second: to drive around this whole fussy city on a bike! See you in Copenhagen, friends)

The fairy tale "Mermaid" Hans Christian Andersen was one of the most favorite works of the writer. The author said that when it was created, it truly worried him and worthy of writing it again.

The monument to the Mermaid, established in the capital of Sweden, among the occupies of a special place. This is not only the original work of art, but also the symbol of Copenhagen, as well as all Denmark. That is why there are always many tourists about Mermaid and inspection of this unusual cute sculpture enters all tourist routes.

It may seem to someone that this bronze monument is very simple - it does not hit the imagination or the size or weight (its height is only 125 cm, the weight is 175 kg) and it is installed on the granite pedestal in the form of a block. But the image itself is inspired by the image of the water beauty, the memories of childhood and the time when we met with a fairy tale "Mermaid".

To visit the monument, it is better to choose a windless sunny day so that the photos are obtained bright, and you were able to approach the sculpture, without splashing the wave and without smearing the clothes.

Mermaid in Copenhagen - how to get

The monument is located on the Langelin embankment, you can get to it:

• At the train - station Østerport
• Bus №26 - Stop Østerport.

From the history of the creation

In 1836, Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen wrote a fairy tale "Mermaid".

It tells it how during the shipwreck the Mermaid saved the prince and fell in love so that he could not live without him. Then she appealed to the sea witch with a request to help her. The sorceress in exchange for the beautiful voice of the mermaid gave her to her legs instead of the tail. The little mermaid decided to be on the ground a few days to charm the prince.

But the prince fell in love with another girl - Princess and decided to marry on it, and the Sea Virgin remained for him only with a friend. In the name of love, the Little Mermaid sacrifices himself, she does not require a response feeling and wishes happiness to the prince and his bride. Left on the shore, it turns into a foam.

In a fairy tale, a deep meaning was concluded, and such concepts as love, self-sacrifice and the acquisition of the immortal soul are affected.

At the fairy tale, Andersen after 73 years was put ballet. This performance was viewed by Karl Jacobsen, the son of the famous entrepreneur, the owner of the factory and beer company Carlsberg, he was in such a delight from the ballet, which decided to order the sculpture of Mermaid at the Danish sculptor Edward Erixon. When the work was completed, Karl Jacobsen presented it with Copenhagen and from August 23, 1913 the monument decorates the embankment of the capital of Denmark.

Who posted a sculptor of the mermaid

The role of mermaids in the eponymous ballet on the music of the composer of Finney Enriches, in the formulation of the balletmaster Hans Beck, was performed by Ellen Price. It was she who was asked to pose when creating sculpture. Prima-ballerina Royal Theater agreed, but with one condition - the naked body was not taken from it, but from the wife of the sculptor.

At the same time, the relatives of the Sculptor Edward Erikson believe that the Little Mermaid completely repeats the appearance of his wife Alina Eriksen.

According to the legend, everyone who touch the sculpture will definitely meet their love. The little mermaid is a symbol of love and good luck. In addition, this monument reflects the geographical essence of Copenhagen, it also, like the city, is surrounded by water from all sides. Therefore, each Dane knows that while the Mermaid in his place, everything will be fine with Denmark.

Dutch engineer Henrik Ryuz was invited to carry out work. So, in 1667, a wooden octagonal fortress was built, called the "Citadel Frederikshavn", later behind the forty the name Castelllet was entrenched, which means "Citadel".

In the middle of the XVIII century, wooden buildings are replaced with stone. Later, there was a laboratory for the production of gunpowder, in which in 1845 an explosion occurred. As a result of this incident, Fort suffered greatly. The restoration of the structure was under the guidance of Architect Fredrik Bloma.

The king hoped that a miniature woman would not hire with such a hard work, but the gephion went to the trick. The goddess turned his four sons born from Giant, and praised a huge territory. One of the furrows was so deep that the island called Gephion Zeland was separated from Sweden.

For reference: Zealand Island, on which is located, is the largest not only in Denmark, but also in the Baltic Sea.

From the history

The first Amalienborg Palace was built in 1673 during the reign of King Denmark Frederic III. The structure was named after the monarch's wife Queen Sofia Amalia. But the palace served for a short time, after 16 years he burned down in a fire during the opera play in the courthouse.

In the middle of the XVIII century, Frederick V on the outskirts of Copenhagen begins to build a new area, later named in his honor Frederiksstaden. In the center of the new area, there are four palace buildings on the site of the Old Palace of AMALIENBORG.

Originally, the work was headed by architect Nikolai Ayvd, who carefully followed the unity of the composition of the facades and the same height of the buildings under construction. However, four years later, when only two buildings on the western side were erected, the architect died. Works continued, his colleague and rival on the work of the architect Laurritz de Tura. A total of 10 years left for the construction of the palace, which by the standards of that time was a record deadline.

Palace complexAmalienborg.

The palace complex consists of three-storey, the same to the outer design of the buildings. As decorations of the facades, the architect used colonnades in the middle part and the pilasters on the sides of the building, which gives the buildings a calm and rigorous appearance.

Light yellow marble, which build-up buildings acquires various shades, depending on the direction of the wet wind, which blows from the coast.

The whole complex of the castle Amalienborg is made in architectural style rococo.

From the history

The Kristiansborg Palace is a unique building - it is built on the site of the fortress, erected during the founding of Copenhagen in 1167. Under the foundation, the ruins of the old structure built by the founder of the capital of Denmark by Bishop Absalon.

However, the fortress stood for a short time, in 1249 she was burned by the warriors of the German city of Lübeck, and in 1369 - the troops of the Hanseatic Union, whose capital was Lubeck.

The building that we see is now is the third palace building, and the first Palace of Christiansborg on the site of the destroyed fortress was built on the orders of King Christian VI in 1736. But it was also not minimized by fires - he recovered several times and was rebuilt for her story.

Since 1849, when Denmark becomes a constitutional monarchy, part of the building was transferred to Parliament (Folketing).

Kristiansborg Palace, which we currently see, built under the leadership of the Architect Torvald Yogenson in 1907-1928 in the style of Narokokko. The height of the tower is 106 meters, two crowns are installed on its vertex.

In front of the Kristiansborg Palace, the Horse Sculpture of King Christian IX, which occupied the Danish throne of more than 42 years (from 1863 to 1906).

There is a shop in the palace, where in addition to souvenirs, jewelry, textiles and china, as well as guidebooks and literature about Denmark are sold.

A lot of beautiful palaces remained in Denmark, as well as religious and secular structures built in the XV - XIX centuries. Among the most famous sights of Copenhagen, you can note the Town Hall, erected by a special project in the city center. The Town Hall is a meeting place at the city council (legislative authority) and the city hall of the city (executive).

www.Syt. /page_20647.htm.

Town Hall Square is one of the main areas in. Here begins the famous trading and pedestrian street Stroget. At the Town Hall Square, rallies and concerts are held, they meet the heroes of sports and organize exhibitions. This is a favorite place of street musicians and artists, and on weekends there is a "flea" market, where interesting souvenirs can be purchased.

On the square there is an unusual fountain with a sculptural composition depicting a bull fight with a dragon, and the entrance to the town hall "guard" three dragons, "squeezing" on the fence.

In the eastern part of the square, a column is installed, on which you can see two Viking-Trubadurov, in their hands - Lurai (Lur - Vintage musical instrument, Pipe Predecessor).

Behind the column with trumperers (Rådhuspladsen, 57) there is a beautiful building of Scandic Palace Hotel with a tower and a clock. It contains two museums, to visit which will be interesting and children, and adults. This is the Museum of Hans Christian Andersen and the Rally Museum called "Believe It Or Not!", Which means "Want - Believe, you want - no!".

Leroy Ripley is a world famous cartoonist, a traveler and a collector, who gathered from all over the light of strangeness and miracles, which are presented in the museum called Ripley and please millions of visitors.

Pay attention to the original thermometer in the corner turret of the building at the intersection of Andersen Boulevard and Vestebrogada. According to the author, Einara Upon Franca, two golden sculptures of girls should point out the weather. One of them on a clear day "went away" by bike, and in the rain the other girl appeared with an umbrella. Unfortunately, now the mechanism does not work and both sculptures are installed in the middle position.

On the Town Hall Square, there is one more attraction of Copenhagen - this is a zero kilometer, made in the form of a small stele in the form of a parallelepiped.

Town Hall Square - the busiest place in Copenhagen, there are a lot of tourists here. In addition, this is the place where carnivals and folk festivities are passing.

Ruderne Tower (Rundetårn), translated round tower is one of the characters of Denmark. Unlike many other towers, she was never part of the fortress and was not used for defense. Rudorne Tower was built as a university observatory . It was the first government observatory.

The storyteller Hans Christian Andersen in the fairy tale "Floor" wrote: "A dog with eyes like a" round tower ". This definition makes us introduce the tower as a big eye looking into the sky with your astronomical devices.

The total height of the tower is 42 meters, to the top of the facade - 36 meters. Upstairs is located observation deckWith which you will see a variety of red roofs, stewed steps, and the Swedish city of Malmo can also be viewed into binoculars.

The construction of the tower is unusual - there is no stepped staircase in it, the rise is performed along a screw lifting length of about 210 meters. Probably, such a rise was made in order to be able to raise tools and instruments on the observatory.

A little higher than the middle of the lift is a library in which temporary exhibitions and concerts are held. Here you can stand on the glass floor and look down from the height of 25 meters, as well as study the model of the solar system.

At the very top there is an observatory, which is the oldest in Europe. True, she currently has amateur status. In 1861, the university observatory was transferred from Copenhagen toØstervold, since her work was hampered by a concussion from passing carts and night lights of buildings in the center of the capital of Denmark.

The observatory hall has a height of 6.75 meters and 6 meters in diameter, it has a lenza telescope from 80 to 450-fold increase.

Also on the tower demonstrates the oldest toilet, which was also used by Hans Christian Andersen.

There is a legend, according to which, during his arrival in Copenhagen Peter, the first rose to the top of the Rudern Tower on horseback, and after him, Catherine followed him in a carriage of six horses. In 1902, the feat of Peter was repeated, but already on the car. However, it is believed that for the first time such "feat" performed Christian himselfIV.Having risen on the opening day of Rundetaarn on its very top.

Observation platform on the tower Rudern in Copenhagen

The observation deck of the tower is lower than, say the viewing platform of the Town Hall, but it also offers a wonderful view of residential buildings and many attractions of Copenhagen.

The observation deck is drizzled with a beautiful cast-iron grid, cast in drawings of the court artist and the master of blacksmith works of Caspar Finke in 1643. If you carefully look at, you can see three Latin RFP letters, which means Regna Firmat Pietas and translates as "the pity of the Power is strong." These words were the motto of Christian IV.

Those interested can be considered using binoculars. There are even sign patterns with an indication of buildings that are visible in this direction.

Unfortunately, the observation deck was loved and suicides. Therefore, an additional steel fence was arranged. As a result, consider or take a picture of a beautiful litter grid, almost impossible.

True, in order to bring this attraction in action, you must throw a coin in 20 kroons into the machine. Then you will see passenger and cargo trains, running along rails, cars, hurrying on the roads among forests and fields, houses and palaces.

From the history

Copenhagen Railway Station was built on the project of Architect Henry Wreath in a traditional romantic style. The structure was built in 1911, and the opening of the transport hub occurred at the King of Christian X, which was invited to open 800 noble guests from all over Europe. In addition, the huge number of residents of Copenhagen gathered on the square to rejoice at this important event.

The restructuring of the structure was carried out in 1980 and in 2004.

Short review

Castle Kronborg - Kronborg Slot - one of the most popular attractions of Copenhagen. Every year 250 thousand people visits him. However, the relation local residents A somewhat skeptical character characters are somewhat skeptical. They believe that Denmark has her heroes, no worse than Shakespearean. Helcinborg on the opposite side of the bay (this is already Sweden).

On most tourists attracts the castle of Kronborg. The majestic fortress is surrounded by high shafts and is visible not only from anywhere in the city, but also from the opposite side of the Strait Eiresund.

On the way to the castle Kronborg you meet a small carmelite monastery and the Church of the Virgin Mary. The church is decorated in a baroque style, impressive ancient murals on the walls and a vaulted ceiling, as well as the organ of 1636. You will admire beautiful flower beds and rest in a pacifying, charming setting.

St. Olaf Cathedral is built of red bricks in 1569. His altar has a height of 12 meters, and the main decoration of the temple are the frescoes of the Renaissance.

Helsingør became famous for Shakespeare. The action of the world-famous tragedy "Hamlet", written in the early XVII century, is happening in the castle Elsinor (English name of the city of Helsingør).

During an excursion to medieval castle You will see the royal halls and unique tapestries, inspect the chapel and powder house.

Underground Castle Casemates are real labyrinths, confusing, dark and raw, the history of the crown of washed with old legends and legends. Here you will feel the extraordinary, mystical and unforgettable atmosphere of romantic fiction and real historical events related to the names of Frederick II and Shakespeare.

If you have time, you can visit the Museum of the city of Helsingør, where they learn all about his history and the Private Museum of Wine, located in one of the wine stores.

The town of Helsingor (Helsingor) seems magical and amazing. After the main attractions of Copenhagen, he keeps the story and the most intimate secrets and legends of Denmark.

I love Scandinavia very much, Copenhagen can rightfully call his beloved city, and perhaps all of Europe. Beautiful fabulous colorful houses captivated at first sight, as well as the abundance of castles, churches, the spirit of the Middle Ages, and all this in an excellent condition, in a peaceful combination with modernity.

I will not describe objects and their history in detail, it can everyone can see Wikipedia. I'll tell you about your route and some nuances.

The last time, I visited Copenhagen at the end of February, when in Cold Peter was still the midst of winter, and the first traces of spring were already corded in Copenhagen. But nevertheless, winter in Denmark is cold, you will need a warm jacket and a scarf with a cap.

Prices in Copenhagen are very high. Not a gift from Danes the highest salary in Europe, (but they have 50% taxes). So, a cup of coffee on average will cost 4-5 euros, and you need to find less than 15 dinner. We took the food with them, something left with Peter, took something in the cheapest Finland. Dinelied once, in the buffet. Who does not know, so in Europe they call a buffet. Drinks are usually not included in the price. We paid something about 80 kroons for food and the same for drinks per person. If you want to try Danish cuisine, you can taste the Danish sandwich (prices for it also vary from 80 kroons).

Based on this, we traveled around the city.

Route . We sailed on a ferry from Oslo. Copenhagen met us with beautiful dawn and windmills.

The tourist part of the inspection of the city, of course, began with a visit to the Mermaid monument.

Here is the pier, the embankment begins.

We send from the embankment to the city center, you can visit the MEFION fountain. This is the biggest fountain in Denmark, is a Copenhagen gift from the Karlsberg plant in honor of his 50th anniversary.

For his back is the church of St. Aldan, the only in Denmark an Anglican church.

We visited the Amalienborg Square, which is located between the four palaces. They are the residence of the royal family. One of the palaces can be visited, the ticket will cost 95 Danish crowns. There are also combined tickets with a visit to the Rosenberg Palace, the price of 155 Danish crowns.

In the center of the square, a monument to Frederick's king, this is the most popular name in the royal family.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, in the square you can see the shift of Karaul, unfortunately, we could not get to this event.

If you go down the street right from the square, you can go to the marble church.

Running from the church to the right, we turn out to be on a narrow street, on which houses are stuck literally on each other. One of these buildings is the Temple of Alexander Nevsky. Where does the Orthodox Temple come from in Denmark? The fact is that Empress Maria Fedorovna, the wife of Alexander III, the Danish Princess, thanks to which the church was built.

On the same street there are the Cathedral of St. Ansgar and the Museum of Danish art.

And if you go from Amalienborg to the strait, you can see the Royal Game Theater.

On the contrary, through the Strait you can see the building of the Royal Opera, made in the style of Hi-tech. By the way, the Danes were waiting for a very long time when it was built, and were very disappointed result.

So, Copenhagen's business card, Newkhavn district. Ships complement this atmosphere.

In one of these one, the Andersen himself lived. And now the whole street is littered with cafes and restaurants, and, of course, tourists.

Here the building of the French Embassy, \u200b\u200bit is the Palace of Trott.

And also Hotel Angletter, Du Nord Store, Guinness Book Museum and Big Kiosk, who used to be the first city telephone booth.

And from there to Slotsholman Island. First of all, an unusual screw spire of the Exchange Building is thrown.

In the center of the island of Castle Kristiansborg, the Denmark Parliament is also located. The tower of this palace is the highest point of Copenhagen.

What is the most interesting if you go inside the yard, you can see a lot of parking spaces. But not cars, cars near the parliament parked units, there are solid bikes. Yes, Denmark officials prefer this particular type of transport.

By the way, not only officials. In the evening rush hour, it is easy to meet in a traffic jam. But the plot will be on the tracks for cyclists, the roads will be almost free!

Next, we went towards the Park Tivoli. Typically, all tourist routes are beginning from there, as the center is located tourist information and railway station. Here you can take free maps Cities and guidebooks. Hence begins old cityAnd there is a majority of attractions.

Naturally, in winter, the amusement park does not work.

The main attraction of the Old Town Hall and Town Hall Square.

It can be seen from any plot of the old city, so it will be lost simply impossible.

You can go inside the town hall for free, inside a beautiful lounge and a lot of sculptures. Here you can take advantage of the free toette.

And also, you can climb to the tower, but in the winter there is not allowed. Paid entrance.

From the town hall, you can go on the pedestrian street of construction. This is the longest pedestrian street of Europe.

Large shops are concentrated here, as well as attractions.

Hello again! This time I would like to tell about my trip to Copenhagen - the capital Denmark. I was lying all my life in the world in search of a better life. Not that I did not like my house, I just knew that somewhere life is better.

Moreover, it is "the best, as a rule, consists of hundreds of little things, which constitute a pledge of happiness. Foloding the world, I realized that everywhere there are their advantages and our shortcomings, but I had another uncharted part of the world, which I had great hopes.

It's no secret to anyone that is good, where we are not, but I still decided to experience fate. I had a few sentences to me, where I go, but I chose as the first destination copenhagen city.

I went there directly from Moscow, and taking into account my past experience using the services of air ticket services, I knew that the earlier you order, the cheaper and should turn out.

Taking into account the scheduled visit prices for a ticket to Copenhagenturned out to be more than acceptable, so that, without thinking, I agreed and began to carefully prepare for my departure. After all, after traveling in Denmark, I wanted to go to Norway, which in the root I changed the case, taking into account the fact that there is wildly cold.

So, going out in the summer to Denmark, I looked extremely strange when I was a pretty warm down jacket, and a whole suitcase of various warm things that I was definitely useful during a trip.

So, welcome to Copenhagen. City of Tales of Hans Christian Andersen. A great place for tourism and part-time the quietest European capital. I understood here than I attracted the journey here. I was looking for silence and calm. Have you ever heard about anything about anything related to Denmark? So I'm about the same.

I now want to translate a story in a slightly different line, and tell you about the sights and just places that I saw. But it makes sense in the other - let my battle about the best life too pathetic, as for me, but the country with the best favorable life index received it not just like that.

So, I started my inspection with the Great Round Tower. What is the most interesting, here at the entrance there is a sign that tells that when Peter I himself visited this place, he rose to the roof of this giant tower on horseback. How the poor horse felt, and how I liked this path to the emperor - I do not know, but on foot, you can safely get there.

Still, it is bad that there are no elevators here, since more mature tourists even at all wishes are not asset ascent. True, there is something to be distracted. For example, remember the fairy tale in "Fire". There the conversation was in the dog, whose eyes were the size of the tower. So the conversation went directly about this tower.

The walls surrounding the staircase are simply unmatched and painted with various pictures (as I understand it, connected with the fairy tales of the great writer, I just read them all). Reaching the top of the round tower, I am amazed by the beauty of the city. As it seemed to me, millions of chimneys, hundreds of gulls on the roofs of houses, and for some reason, a huge love for basketball, expressed by huge, as for me, the number of basketball sites.

If you think what to see in Copenhagen Such an extraordinary, then the journey into the so-called hippie communation called, possibly associated with Andersen - Cristia. Having stepped over the threshold of this glorious place, I, such a feeling that I got into the distant 60s inhabited by Hippary of all varieties and colors.

Here you can buy all sorts of grazers that will make you a step closer to the children of the Sun. Buy yourself a beagle bracelet here or some T-shirt with a slogan that will make you blush already when leaving this place. What is the most interesting, then you can not take pictures here.

Moreover, not only local inhabitants, but also their goods, and generally extraordinary elements of the decor. Whereas at the exit of this definitely the original institution will be seen "Now you are returning to the European Union". There used to be free to sell freely here, but about three years ago, this venture stopped the police due to the fact that the underground grass market gained huge speeds here.

Copenhagen sights will definitely remember, I understood that after visiting these two completely opposite places. But after another, another unique landmark was expected, expressed in the local metro, which is considered one of the youngest at the expense of its technical progress and opening directly in 2002.

Urban metro management is carried out using a specially computer substation. But that's not the point. From the underground road you are separated by a wide and high windshield (there are no machines here, as you already understood). In fact, you will get a trip to the American Golkov, someone may not even like because of such a saturated movement, although at the same time a branch in the city is only one.

Copenhagen Center Known by his famous amusement park called Tivoli, where you can not only ride the attractions known to you, but also visit the most famous attraction in all of Denmark.

It is called the Golden Tower, and how you have already traced an analogy with the previous attraction attending, thanks to this entertainment you can also look at Copenhagen from high. To be accurate - the place is unique, the attraction will raise you to a height almost seventy meters, which will make you feel the bird.

True, people do not let people with the problems of the heart, since, in fact, the load is colossal. For such people there is a round tower, there you can also good species to urge. In general, a steep attraction, however, I will not return to him anymore. It rises and falls 2 times, and if the second time I could already consider myself to be experienced, then for the first time. No, I will keep silent.

Then I was expected to travel for the city in the so-called Elsinor.where rural Danish terrain waited me as well famous castleDedicated to Hamlet - Cronborg. I would not call this place mandatory to visit, but any aristocrat or one who believes such, can go here to plunge into the dark and mysterious Middle Ages, presented here in practically the same colors in which we represented it, thanks Shakespeare.

If you really wonder, you can write on a tour of the castle, but, in fact, the guide will be more philosophical than telling some important and interesting Facts. I walked along the castle in proud loneliness and was amazed by his beauty, though he was then lost, but for a while, just went to the light at the end of the cab. Do not forget to throw a coin into a fountain located in the courtyard of this wonderful castle.

By the way, for lovers of hiking desperate walks, I recommend stroll around the surrounding area. And please do not worry about how then get to Copenhagen. All transport, whether it is public, whether it goes to the capital.

Feel free to be a fellow traveler - just lift the thumb up, and wait for you until you offer transport (and, completely free) to the city, taking into account the pleasant National Company Danes. They can also tell a lot of interesting things.

Separate attention also deserves the beauty of the city, located in its surroundings. In this case, the conversation is conducted on urban lakes. What is the most interesting, these lakes have royal names. Here, except natural beauty You will not see anything else.

However, I liked to walk while sunset on the shore of the lake and occasionally throw stones into it in order to check, and I sleep. Here, such "frames" can also be met, who just come here to think about their lives.

Some attend these places to exercise yoga or sports, in general, as you please. Even couples are found. But, anyway, gulls and other winged friends are an order of magnitude higher than other passersby.

The next morning I went to the local Dome Cathedral, and no one was met to my great surprise there. Absolutely no one. Naturally, I speak for its adjacent territories, as I even didn't even go.

Cathedral seems to be practically Gothic (but in fact, I don't even know how this style can be characterized by this style) architectural structure, striking by your grace and creating the impression of complete loneliness.

Yes, services are held here, but if you want to be alone with yourself, and you do not have time to visit the lake shores, then welcome to the park of the Dome Cathedral. Only you and you.

Another unique place to visit became a cemetery. I honestly want to say that on the cards and navigation, I thought it was the park, I simply did not scale very much. I have been scaled by a green area.

Yes, and initially, I could not suggest that this is a cemetery, because similar place It was presented in the form of a central city park. This place was the burial of all famous figures of this northern country. Moreover, not only Hans Christian Andersen, there is also a monument to Nilsu Bor and many other political and historical figures.

I was struck by the attitude of local residents to this place. They do not consider him mourning, here you can often see kids who carry their drawings to the grave of the Great Fairy Tale and in general the design of the cemetery is some more bright.

To know, Denmark is bordered by Sweden, and if it is an accurate Copenhagen bordering the Swedish city of Malma. Previously, these two cities shared an irresistible water space, which could only be sorted by ferry, whereas now there is a huge two-storey bridge, which can easily cross local water spaces in a couple of hours.

I especially liked the bus journey and watching sea beacons, which at a certain time are built up into one row and are a specially laid route for ships.

Well, finally, it is impossible to come to Copenhagen and do not sit in a local cafe. Moreover, for this, there are also our traditions here, such as the Newkhavn district (something consonant with New Heaven, but these are my personal guesses, although some analogies are traced).

This place can be called the historical part of the city with tiled roofs of houses, cobbled streets and dozens of floating ships. Here is presented at least 25 good establishments, where you can wrap on the street in Plaid and enjoy high-quality Danish coffee on the street.

By the way, the prices in Copenhagen at the cafe, and even in general, it is quite affordable for food - it can be seen even from the side. It doesn't matter whether it is a big institution, a restaurant or eatery - people will always sit there, and not since I am near the Doma Cathedral.

There is a famous royal palace nearby, which can please you with guards who carry a service with such imperture, which immediately wants to behave like a non-unwindy Mr. Bean.

Well, finally, do not forget to visit the historic center of the city, submitted by a huge area, as well as the Opera House building (all performances in Danish, so you can not encounter there).

Already before flying to the next destination, I wanted to definitely go from Copenhagen in MoscowTo compare the memory, which is how to live there and here. However, in order not to fill themselves with extreme thoughts, I silently went to the depth of Denmark towards other adventures. While this city left behind only pleasant memories and impressions.
