Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen was founded during the 12th century. The city owes much of its charm to the buildings erected by Denmark's monarchs, and boasts a treasure trove of late-Renaissance and Rococo architecture.Copenhagen deserves its accolade as the Venice of the North. Founded on a series of islands and islets, the city today is laced with graceful canals and boasts some of the most delightful architecture in Northern Europe. See the fabled statue of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid, a symbol of the city. Stroll along the old harbor of Nyhavn, lined with cafés, restaurants and 500-year-old gabled houses. Browse the superb shops on the world-famous Stroget or view the Rococo palaces lining Amalienborg Square. Best of all, savor the taste of local delicacies while wandering the paths of Tivoli Gardens, one of Europe's most celebrated pleasure gardens.
The weather forecast for Copenhagen on June 5 predicts a mostly cloudy day with a low of 11 degrees and a high of 18 degrees celsius. Hopefully it will be a great day for sightseeing!
Don't go out of your way to see the mermaid. It's not that impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great city for walking around in and I'm sure there are bus trips to see the castles. I enjoyed tivoli and if you find your self in a pub I liked the Carlsberg imperial stout. You can't get it in Canada.
