Copenhagen: details

I loved Copenhagen, so rather than go through all the things we did, I thought I'd just mentioned the things I really liked. I've also included quite a few photos.


It is a very beautiful city. Being there in Autumn was great because of all the colours on display in the parks.


They seem to be a very environmentally friendly lot. Someone told me they are really big on recycling. On the flight in, one of the first things I noticed was a line of wind turbines out in the water off the coast. When I bought some stuff from a convenience store, they didn't put it in a plastic bag. A nice change from London where they want to put everything in a plastic bag, even if you've only bought one small item.

It is a very cycling-friendly city. They have bike lanes just about everywhere. It must be a very low-crime city, as many bikes left in bike racks are not chained up.


The people in Copenhagen are very friendly too. The waitress at the restaurant we went to on Saturday night was more helpful and keen to please than any waitress or waiter I can recall ever having met anywhere. It was a really great restaurant too as evidenced by the fact that we had to wait to get a table because they were so busy. It was worth the wait though. The food was yummy and reasonably priced (compared to London anyway).

Not so much something that made me love Copenhagen but something that was a bit unusual was that they have hotdog stands everywhere. I did have three hotdogs while there. Here's one of them.


To conclude, I could hardly post about Copenhagen without including a photo of one of the city's most famous attractions. When we got there, there was a continuous stream of tourists climbing up beside her to pose for photos. I had to be quick to get a picture of her alone.
