Nørrebrogade is the main street in the old working class neighbourhood Nørrebro. Like most old…read moreworking class neighbourhoods has Nørrebrogade undergone a gentrification the last 20 years. Fortunately the neighbourhood fights back and hipsters have not overtaken Nørrebro. Nørrebrogade is a very vibrant example. Because of Nørrebro's many social housing estates the neighbourhood is still one of the areas in Denmark with the lowest income. Nørrebrogade still is a shopping street, where you can do most of your shopping without getting riped. The part of the street closest to Indre By (the central part of Copenhagen) is the hipster area. And the other end is dominated by emigrant shops. Parts of Nørrebrogade have been turned into bikes and public transportation only, and a lot of the lane is devoted to bikes. It is a joy to ride your bike here. At the same time a large part of the street next to Assistens Kirkegård was turned into pavemen, and here you can sit in the sun enjoying a meal or a beverage.

What a wonderful bridge! Connecting Nørrebro with Frederiksberg. Made In Poland…read more This bridge is meant to be something like welcome gate to the city Centre. The bridge is only for pedestrians and bikers. I live nearby, so sometimes I come here just to look at how the people are running here and there. You can also watch the sunset from here...

Along the way, there are different signs you can read, and a little area inside the wall near the top where you can see all the way down to the bottom.

Wow!!! Rundetaarn is on the Top Ten must see list when in Copenhagen. What makes " Round Tower" so…read morespecial and intriguing? I'm glad you asked... With its distinctive spiral ramp, the Round Tower has become a Danish landmark. Here are some notable facts and points of interest: 1.The Hollow Core: the shape of the tower was Denmark's geographical zero point. 2. There is an Observatory which houses a telescope built in 1929. 3. The Library Hall is used for changing exhibits, cultural events and concerts 4. The Spiral Ramp will get you to 10,000 steps easily; it is the only way to the top of the tower and spins 7 1/2 times around the Tower's hollow core. Believe me, you feel those twists as you climb. 5. The Bell Loft is situated above the Library Hall and two floors above the Trinity Church where the bells have rung for hundreds of years. 6. The Platform: once you climb the narrow stairs you are atop and can see all of Copenhagen's charms and Sweden. During the summer there is a kiosk that sells sweet treats 7. The Planetarium: shows the solar system I highly recommend visiting Rundetaarn. It is located in Norreport; beautiful shops and restaurants. Polse: best hot dogs are served in this truck outside tower Rundetaarn is located on: Kobmagergarde 52 A 1150 København K Denmark Check out Rundetaarn.dk for more info

This is a truly strange tourist attraction. And, I use that term,"Tourist Attraction," lightly…read more It is said that this place is the home to many of those who live an alternative lifestyle in Copenhagen. They claim that this area is completely beyond the rules and the laws of Copenhagen. In some ways, that is pretty easy to see as the main street is lined with people selling weed and hash, which is still illegal in Denmark. Copenhagen is not Amsterdam. Though a bit sketchy, this city within a city is very well maintained. I am sure there is some other story going on here. ...One that we will never know. This being said, what you will find here is some of the best street art and graffiti that you will witness anywhere across Copenhagen. Of course, it is clearly stated all over the place, "No Photos." But, I'm guess that is more to keep the people dealing drugs safe and off the radar than anything else. One of the funny/interesting things I find about this location is that tour buses actually pull up to it. I don't know, maybe it's just me me, but if you are truly embracing an alternative lifestyle that all seems rather intrusive. Nonetheless, this is an interesting place. Even if all you do is look at the great street art, it is worth the visit.

So it's December and dark and I'm day-dreaming of long days and dock jumping at Islands Brygge…read more Not to stereotype or anything, but this is definitely where the beautiful Danes hang out during the summer the second it's above 18 degrees (celsius). The families tend to stay closest to the gated bathing areas (havnebadet), while the 20/30-somethings are in the middle near the "badebro" just after Kulturhuset. All areas are jam-packed on the warm summer afternoons, and by mid-August the ground is basically dirt and covered with cigarette buds, but it's still my all-time favorite place to spend a warm summer afternoon. Hourly dips in the canal (points for fanciest dives!) are an absolute must. Don't forget your beer, én-gangs-grill, and pølser, if you want the true Danish experience. Officially counting down the days until summer 2014.

4.5 stars. Kastellet, called The Citadel in English, is a military fortress that was built in the…read more17th century and is still used by the Danish military. However, it is also a public park with free admission for tourists. My husband and I walked up the entrance, and we saw two armed guards. My husband said that he did not feel sure if we were allowed to be there, but I saw other tourists walking around ahead, so I kept on walking! The two guards did not stop us at all. The fortress is a star-shaped pentagon. It contained what looked like grassy ramparts, water-filled moats, military barracks, offices, cannons, and a windmill. I felt interested in seeing buildings that were hundreds of years old. Please note that signs tell tourists to not walk on the grass, but I did unfortunately see tourists walking on the grass.
