26 Beautiful Copenhagen: Get lost and enjoy

So we only got one day in Copenhagen, a city we were surprised to see so much of during a day walking

Nuhaven, which means New Harbor, is a beautiful place for lunch. The harbor was created so ships could get closer to merchants some 500 years ago.

around.

At 1000 years old, theres no wonder its such an amazing place, filled with rich architecture, amazing sights and those rewards around every corner. We would highly recommend anyone going to Copenhagen spend a day or two walking around this rich city that was a cultural and merchant hub for centuries.

As we walked around, we found ourselves in that wonderful moment of being comfortably lost in that travel sense of the way. Its that point where you kind of know where you are but kind dont. Plus, Copenhagen is such an easy city to find yourself on a map, youre really not that lost anyway.

Sure, we may have started out with the Little Mermaid, but in a way that was a great way to start it was a little disappointing, but our spirits were still high, as we looked across the harbor Vikings once rowed. After that, everything was fantastic. Cobble stone courtyards, beautiful buildings, and extremely nice people.

It was a spectacular day.

We never did find out what this statue was for. But thats the thing about old cities, sometimes there are two naked women just standing on the corner. An old Navy barracks now converted into condos. At the park near the Little Mermaid is this stunning statue of the Godess who cut the island of Zeeland out of Sweden and created Denmark. The bulls are actually her sons. A palace guard shortly after taking this photo, he yelled at me. Danish military all look like theyre 16. We caught the changing of the guard while walking around Copenhagen. Whats a walking tour with the ABCs of European tourism. Another Bloody Church. This is the Marble House, it was under renovation. Another statue, another beautiful open space. We probably shoudl have read up on who it really was. Nuhaven, which means New Harbor, is a beautiful place for lunch. The harbor was created so ships could get closer to merchants some 500 years ago. A traditional Danish lunch. A hotdog, some bread and ketchup. Total cost, $4. Other people got better food in Nuhaven. We liked how there were blankets everywhere for customers who were cold. Another shot of Nuhaven. Just a street shot as we walked through Copenhagen. The pace was nearly perfect as we saw so much but never really felt tired. Another square we found ourselves in as we walked around. Whats the point of finding a great square if you can grab a Carlsberg and enjoy it? Our view with our beer.
