I had high expectations of Copenhagen. As I disembarked the plane, entered the airport and swiftly walked through customs, I liked the efficiency. I had a really good feeling about the city. I had 4 days to explore, eat, drink and shop. As usual, I tried to pack in way too much in the short space of time that I had. More photos here from this trip.
Copenhagen is divided into distinct areas with their own distinct personalities. It’s a small city that is walkable, although there is an easy metro system if you prefer not to walk and save your energy. It’s very easy to spend a few days mooching around, soaking up the atmosphere and eat and drink well. This city is really a foodie’s paradise and you would need about a month (and a huge spending budget) to eat at all the wonderful restaurants and bars on offer. The Danes are incredibly friendly, helpful and they all speak English. I will always remember Casper (the tall, helpful Danish stranger) for helping us find Boxland. He initially sent us in the wrong direction and took the time out to check the exact location on his phone. He eventually escorted us to the market and we got the opportunity to chat to him about life in Copenhagen. It’s moments like these when you visit a foreign city, that leaves a lasting impression on you. I wasn’t quite ready to leave after 4 days, so here’s hoping I’ll make it back again.
