Copenhagen #50places2026

Having enjoyed my (extreme) day trips to Venice and Madrid, it is probably no surprise that I booked anther one. This time I was off to Copenhagen.

I had first visited Denmark in the early 1970s, I remember visiting Legoland in Biilund, but don’t remember much else. Since then I went once more to Denmark, in July 2004, staying with family in the heart of Copenhagen for a few days.

The weather was fantastic, it was sun and blue skies, but was quite chilly.

I spent my time exploring the city. I enjoyed exploring the Kastellet as well as the royal palaces and gardens. There are lots of museums and palaces you could visit. Also Tivoli Gardens is also nice (well it was when I went there in 2004). 

There were lots of shops. Including at least three Lego stores including one at the airport. However more expensive than the UK. 

Lots of places for food and drink.  I had lunch in the huge department store which had great views from the 5th floor restaurant. I enjoyed my open sandwich and glass of wine. 

Fantastic day, lovely city. I certainly would go again.
