Top 6 things you have to experience in Copenhagen

Some of us started next day in Copenhagen with traditional breakfast called brunch and a large pot of freshly squeezed coffee.

While the others liked pancakes.

We decided to take a look on The Royal Guard change at Amalienborg Palace. Despite the rain, many people gathered in front of the palace. And suddenly The Royal Guard started their march from their barracks.

They stopped in front of the palace.

And went to each guarding point to change the 24 hours shift.

After changing all the guarding points, The Royal Guard went back to the barracks and show was over.

In the hostel we received nice city map which helped us to find all the important attactions of the city.

There we found out about the Round Tower.

We continued our city sightseeing north towrds the statue of Den lille havfrue or in english The Little Mermaid. The state was dedicated to homonymous fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen.

While coming back to the city center, we visited botanic garden. This time of the year is not the best to see a lot of colorful flowers, nevertheless we got nice botanic experience.

When we finally reached the city center, it was time for the Copenhagen Pride.

The last attaction of our trip was the Carlsberg brewery. It was located in south-west part of the city. So we decided to take train to get there. We came to the main train station and found out that trains are not coming due to heavy rain and floods. After some time trains finally arrived to the station and we were able to reach the Carlsberg brewery.

The brewery was not as excited as Heineken. But they had some nice features like tasting some flawors of the beer and smelling them.

There was a section where we could see all sorts of packaging and labeling of the Carlsberg beer made so far.

For the end, there was one sign which was all covered by sticker of Carlsberg logo. We could not resist to put two more stickers on.

First walk-through Copenhagen

We decided to visit the capital city of Denmark over the extended weekend.



We stayed in Annex Copenhagen which is located very close to main train station and also not far away from the city center. After check-in we came to our room.

The room was very clean and tidy yet colorful and cosy. It is really interesting how can such a small room be transformed into fully functional sleeping place with all necessary facilities.

In one corner there was "bedroom"

In the other corner there was "bathroom"

In the third corner there was "living room" with nice view

In the room we experienced for the first time how resourceful are Scandinavians.

We unpacked our luggage and immediately went for a lunch. We stopped by in the nearest Thai food restaurant where we recaptured Thailand.

After fulfilling the requirements of our stomaches, we went for a walk around the city center. We noticed how proud the Danes are with Carlsberg beer.

We walked among the main street and discovered nice jewelry shop called House of Amber. The shop had state of the art jewelry made out of amber. There we could witness all sorts of shapes, colors and prices but among them all the most interesting was the animals (like mosquito) trapped inside the amber. This reminded us on famous movie Jurassic park.

Denmark is known as the country of Lego. We could not resist to visit several Lego stores around the city.

The Danes are not as proud as they should be on Lego, at least not in the Copenhagen. They have stores, they are selling a lot of things made with Lego but still we were expecting much more, like some sort of Lego museum, Lego-land, Lego...

Among the Lego stores there were a lot of other toy stores with interesting toys.

People on the street were trying to get money from people who passed by.

It was time to finish the day and we did it in the Hard Rock Cafe with a nice "little" dinner.
