Copenhagen
View from the plane--so colorful and inviting. I can't wait to land in Denmark!
We stayed at the Generator Hostel conveniently located near the cruise port and Stroget--the shopping street. The hostel was really clean and had plenty of common areas to relax. There was a bar inside, comfy couches to lounge on, and had very modern amenities.
Chilling at the cruise port-- pondering whether I want waffles or ice cream. Decisions, decisions.
The cruise port is beautifully festive and all lit up once the sun goes down. All the restaurants are crowded with customers enjoying a beer and staring at the gorgeous boats in the distance. I love how the restaurants provide blankets on the chairs to keep you warm.
A MUST SEE in Denmak is the Little Mermaid. My favorite Disney movie has always been "The Little Mermaid" so it was only natural I couldn't wait to see the statue. Its beautiful.
On a rainy day, a trip to the museum can be a great use of time. This museum had quite an array of cultural artifacts including he Viking exhibit--sadly I was one day too early.
Tivoli--where do I begin. It is a bit pricey to get in--but you can buy a pass that only grants you access to the park...well worth it. The gardens are breathtaking. The park also holds one of the top ten ice cream shops in the world. OMG--it will make your mouth water. Get the sprinkles!
Bicycles are EVERYWHERE. I think there are more bikes than cars. The advanced traffic system is very similar to that of London and Amsterdam. Maybe one day, Boston.
This gorgeous old red windmill is located in Kastellet, a well preserved star fortress in Copenhagen.
