The colorful historic houses lining the waterfront are so charming and aesthetically pleasing. It honestly looks like something straight out of a postcard! I loved watching the boats cruise through the canal while people enjoyed their meals and drinks at the waterfront restaurants. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxing, and there's something so peaceful about strolling along the water and admiring the historic architecture. We also had lunch at Nyhavn C, located right along the waterfront, which made the experience even better! We got to enjoy our meal with beautiful views of the canal, colorful buildings, and boats passing by. It was such a lovely setting to sit back, enjoy some food, and take in the scenery. It's also the perfect spot for photos! Every corner is picture-worthy, and the vibrant buildings make such a beautiful backdrop. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby if you want to grab a bite or a drink while enjoying the views. Although it's definitely a tourist hotspot, I can see why it's one of Copenhagen's most iconic attractions. Whether you're visiting during the day or evening, Nyhavn is worth experiencing at least once. Such a picturesque and memorable part of my Denmark trip!

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.

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.
