FIRST TIME IN DENMARK (Copenhagen blew my mind!) 🇩🇰

- First impressions of Copenhagen, Denmark.
We were pleasantly surprised by the number of tourist attractions and historical landmarks in Copenhagen.
From the world's oldest amusement park, Tivoli Garden, to the picturesque Nyhavn lined with colorful buildings and a beautiful canal.
If you are looking for things to do in Copenhagen, the city got something for everyone!
We also tried some traditional and famous Danish food such as Danish pastries, hot dogs, and smørrebrød (Danish open sandwich). Everything was delicious! We opt for more budget friendly places, rather than fancy restaurants because Denmark, especially Copenhagen is expensive!
Check out our Copenhagen city tour and food tour!

Norwegian here living in Oslo. Copenhagen is by far the best city in Scandinavia. I lived there for 2 years and i loved it. I think it might be one of the best cities in the world. Beautiful, not to big nor small, liberal, safe, clean, fun easy to navigate, good wellfare for sll citizens, great food, beers and compared to the rest of Scandinavia and aspecially Norway, it is not a Nanny state..
It's a great city with lots to do. But it's definitely not "by far the best city in Scandinavia". It's definitely up there. Either tied with Stockholm or just a little bit better in some aspects. But it's definitely not better by far. At least definitely not compared to Stockholm. Compared to Oslo? Probably.
Hvordan er Norge en nanny state? Og mye av det du beskriver kan sier om alle Skandinaviske bye, Oslo inkludert🙄
@@Bazze03None of what you just said made any sense. It’s all due to personal preference and cultural bias. In terms of architecture, sure. But overall most cities in Scandinavia and even the Nordics tics all these boxes. You say It’s not the best, better than Stockholm yet no. So in your opinions what makes a Scandinavian city THE BEST?!
Og når ble Tysk norsk?
@@kilipaki87oritahitihe meant that it might be the best, but not "by far"
I'm Swedish and even I think Copenhagen is the best in the nordics :P
As a Swede, I enjoy Copenhagen way more than Stockholm.
As a fellow swede I enjoy Stockholm way more than Copenhagen.
tak og respekt herfra til jeres natur
Based Swede
thats because people are stabbing each other.
As a Dane, I can say I love Stockholm, its a beautiful city. But it's not a competition, I love Copenhagen to.
As a Swede i like the atmosphere in Denmark more than Sweden, its just more relaxed somehow.
About half of de the Danes are on SSRIs so no chock they are all relaxed 😂
@@znarkz yahh... but no... We´re doing just fine without... because we got beer instead;o) as in DANISH BEER...
Ofcourse its more relaxed than Sweden, they don't risk dying there by a grenade launch.
@@znarkz In total 7.2% of ALL danish citizens were prescribed SSRIs in the year of covid shutdowns, 2020 - Compared to the US - During the years 2015 to 2018, 13.5% of ALL americans were prescribed SSRI's .... It's a great soundbyte, but the fact is that danes are only half as depressed as americans in total.
I actually think churches are underrated by tourists. I usually use them as a place to rest my feet and get some peace and quiet for a while, which is extra nice when you, as a tourist, are on your feet all day. Sit down for 10-15 minutes and you will have recharged your batteries a bit. You don't have to be a believer to appreciate the tranquility of a church.
I really like Grundtvigskirke in Copenhagen. It’s further out near Nørrebro.
@@HannahJ It is a Masterpiece made by Architect: Ove Jensen Klint. I think he also made a minor version in the small town of Gedser. It became finished by his son, also famous for furniture, Kaare Klint.
you might have noticed the references to the Danes rescuing most of the Jews in Copenhagen and smuggling them to safety in Sweden. An amazing accomplishment of the Danish resistance.
Dane here. 1) Amazing to save those lives, but 2) those fishermen took "risk-payment" in full from the people, that they ferried across. History is grey.
Dont forget the actions of the King. He paid for most of that, and his constant vigilance in the face of the nazis and hitler. Try to imagine any politician who would dare do something like that, it simply would never happen. Read up on Hans Kongelige Højhed Christian d. 10 if interested.
In Denmark we chose to collaborate with the Germans in the first years of the war.
Other countries such as the Netherlands had an active resistance movement much earlier than we did.
I am happy the Danish Jews that were saved, but we shouldn't be bragging :-)
@@dimajo3057 also when the nazi told him to stay in his castle he was like fuck that im riding my horse throu town EVERDAY just to piss them of and to support the resistance
@@anotherelvis We did not collaborate, we were allowed to act with our own government and not be influenced by the nazis. It is utterly foolish to have taken the fight with the nazis given our location and the sudden attack. It would have destroyed us for no purpose. We gave a moral opposition with the king never giving in, and never giving them the respect hitler wanted, and daily riding through town on his horse saluting any danish he met. The disrespect at some point led Hitler to be so offended he did become more strict on Denmark. The danes did the right thing, didnt give in, didnt assist, and then worked actively against the nazis with intelligence to the british and sabotage within. I am crazy grateful to that decision because it means my country and people werent decimated for some silly superficial standoff. And we should ABSOLUTELY brag that we saved 95%+ jews and saved the danish people and cities.
All the bikes you pointed at were locked, I think you're just unfamiliar with the style of locks! 😉It's like a frame-fixed lock with a small rod that locks in place
This used to be THE bike lock in Finland as well but nowadays bicycle theft has exploded so you need a beefy U-lock if you don't want to donate your beloved bike to a junkie.
@@Pusahispidasaimensis It's mainly cultural enrichment which has caused the bike thefts to go up.
@@Tiax776 well that's just not true.
@@Tiax776not true, most bike theft is done by organized gangs coming from eastern Europe, they fill a truck with stolen bikes and go back to Romania or wherever.
@@kuurikki1044 No most of these types dont bother to use a bike.
You guys sitting on the railing of the canal at Nyhavn and you pulling a beer from your pocket, is a true danish move hahaha
As a child I always went to Copenhagen, I loved that city, I recommend everyone to go to the Bakken amusement park
About Børsen, they were able to save almost half of the building. That part do have some water and smoke damage, but is otherwise intact. The plan is to rebuild not replace with something new. Happy that my home city left you with a good impression.
And all the priceless works of art were also saved.
Update: Much more of Børsen has unfortunately collapsed now.
@@zipzapdk- Almost
#9:23 This is the Royal Guard walking from their baraks to the royal residence in order to relieve the current guard at the palace.
"it's a marching band!" Had me ugly cry laughing
And when the Stock exchange caught fire, 90 soldiers from the guard ran through the streets, from their barracks to assist the firefighters
And make no mistake. Even though they look like funny toy soldiers with cute bear hats, those are elite forces with lethal weapons. Don't poke the bear hats... ;)
@@earthorbiter They're not an elite unit. These are just conscripts in a guard unit. Livgarden hasn't been an elite unit, since the loss at the Battle of Dybbøl in 1864.
The Royal Life Guard in Denmark has a long history as an elite unit in the Danish military and has not surrendered in combat. The Life Guard was established in 1658 by Frederik III, and its primary duties are to protect the royal family and perform ceremonial duties such as guarding Amalienborg Palace. The Life Guard also plays a combat-ready role in the Danish military, but it has not been involved in direct combat actions that would require surrender in recent times.
Here's a short resume from Dybbøl in 1864 "When the vigorous fire was raging, the Life Guards in section column began to debouch from Sønderborg and advance on the northern pontoon bridge. The ranks were tightly closed, the march steady and in regular cadence, rifles at rest, sharply dressed, all just as on the drill ground. Four officers marched ahead of the column: the commander, Major Krieger; the adjutant, First Lieutenant Tobiesen; Captain Nægler, if I remember correctly; and a fourth officer, presumably the leader of the company's front platoon. Grenades whipped down into the water on both sides of the bridge, but the Life Guards continued their steady march. When the column's head had reached approximately two-thirds of the length of the bridge, the battalion was ordered to retreat; the artillery noise was so strong that I, standing near the western end of the bridge, could not hear any command. But suddenly I saw the rifles sharply shouldered, as was required at the time before turning around, and the column, almost simultaneously in its entire depth as far as it had gone out on the bridge, turned and just as calmly as it had advanced, marched back into Sønderborg. It was a proud sight to see the beautiful unit advancing and retreating amid the intense grenade fire, as if it were on the parade ground. How beautiful would such a unit's advance have been if it had been called earlier and had the opportunity to take part in the 8th Brigade's advance."
By other words, once again, Denmark owes its sovereignty to the Danish Royal Guard.
I hope that you in the future, will start traveling with known truths, instead of harmful lies like this in the future.
Sincere greetings
Royal Guard, M.S. Nielsen
as a Dane i will recommend you to eat the smørrebrød with a beer on the side next time.
And a snaps!😋
listen to Tommy.
@@tommyhansen2116 Yeah, they missed out by not having a piece with herring and a snaps on the side. Also because it would be funny for the viewers - it has a really strong flavor that takes most by surprise.
Came here to say the same as Tommy. 😂😂
Ofc
As a Swede from Malmö I wholeheartedly agree that Copenhagen is the best city in the Nordics. I always end up feeling slightly underwhelmed and disappointed whenever I visit Stockholm.
Have you visited the beautiful parts of Stockholm then?
@@adam-7147 doh
Hey man, visited 1 year ago Malmö. Is it a middleastern/Muslim majority city? I feel like I saw more Arabic looking people than Swedish looking
@@adam-7147 Yeah I've spent a good bit of time in Stockholm. The scenery around the water is indeed beautiful but that's not all it takes to make a good city.
@@Yoyoarab123 Hope you liked it. I think Malmö is a great place to live and the poor reputation it has is not at all deserved.
I think the city is around 50% immigrants, and 15-20% muslim/middle-eastern.
I don't think anyone would blame you for picking Copenhagen as your favourite city in the Nordics
Though nothing beats Beautiful Stockholm
@@znarkz Copenhagen does.
Also Stockholm has this issue of being swedish ;)
Biggest problem with Copenhagen and Denmark in its whole is that its full with danes. 1520 never forget!
@@andersmalmgren6528😂😂😂😂 did you clean up all the blood yet? 😂😂😂😂
@@mickpalmer6213 Have you reclaimed Skåne Halland Blekinge and gotland yet? 😂😂😂
Copenhagen=5🌟
Stockholm=4🌟
Reykjavik=3🌟
Oslo=2🌟
Helsinki=1🌟
Great video, I have visited all Capitols and when considered everything about them I truly believe that there is a clear winner in Copenhagen.
Nice video. My grandfather was in the Danish resistance during WW2. As a child I loved listening to all his stories from the war.
ok, now we know that your grandfather was the one, but who was the second member of the Danish resistance during WW2?
p.s. take it easy guys, just joking. ✌
It's cool to see what Denmark is like, my great-grandfather was a Dane from Viborg but I never had the experience of going there, it's cool to see through this video how people live their lives
my home town :)
You should go.. Viborg is a beautifull city
Viborg is an amazing and beautiful city. I live just outside it in a small town.
Social democracy is a helluva drug.
I'm flattered by your words, for some reason that I can't explain, I always thought that the Danes wouldn't like me or something like that, I'm even more encouraged to come visit you, a hug to everyone
As a Copenhagener, I can inform you that all bikes are infact locked :D
If you don’t lock your bike, you can be almost a 100% sure it will be stolen.
I read somewhere that bikes are the most frequently stolen item in Copenhagen..
4 sandwiches for 100DKK in all? That was a steal in Copenhagen, in the more touristy areas it could be 100 DKK for one! Been there, done that.
Those, that costs 100kr, like Schønnemans og Ida D, are also way bigger.
It's called Domhusets Smørrebrød, go look it up, I visited the place some years ago myself, very cheap but well made traditional Danish smørrebrød.
They went to a take-away place. Workers drop by to pick up their daily lunch. It has to be affordable or they wouldn't sell much. The restaurants that serve it has much higher prices.
As if workers in Copenhagen do not make quite a good living and cannot afford higher prices.
I live in the outskirts of the 2nd largest city of Denmark and earn around $255 to $360 a day, depending on the hours and day of the week, and my present part-time job as a night watch with no degree required (though I do have one) is nothing fancy. Spending 100 kr. (or around $14) on lunch do not matter at all.
@@agffans5725 I think there is a difference between cannot afford or not willing to spend!
Most people would not spend a 100kr for everyday lunch.
That is why, they either bring food from home. Besides, I wouldn't go to a restaurant to eat in my bricklayer/carpenter overalls (as written on the van).
It's so refreshing to see Copenhagen through your eyes. It made me feel lucky I'm living here. Thanks! :D
Have really enjoyed watching your Scandinavian videos. From English man living in Stockholm.
Copenhagen Central Station is built so high because it is so old that it was from that time that steam locomotives were used
Heyy
Tivoli is the second oldest amusement park, the oldest is located a little outside Copenhagen in Dyrehaven Bakken
3rd oldest. The 2nd oldest i some place in Germany
@@tanjaliljeqvist143 you are unfortunately wrong, in fact Tivoli in Copenhagen has always been considered the first. because of dyrehavsbakken that we in Denmark see as the first was not really an amusement park at the beginning but more a place where clowns and gypsies came and made some fun... but I am well aware that Germany would like to take all the credit for what Denmark invents. It's like the hamburger, people think it also comes from Hamburg, even though it was a Dane who lived in the USA who invented it..
@@Thjaaa You are sadly wrong yourself..
Bakken is considered the oldest amusement park, followed by Wurstelprater, Austria and then Tivoli. so even if bakken isn't the first then Tivoli is still isn't first.
As for Hamburger, sure there is some credibility that Louis Lassen was one of it's possible inventors - it's hard to take credits since it was really just an adaptation of northern european sandwhiches. He is however recognized as the inventor by the US library of congress, but has been disputed so many times. besides, Germans never took claim of inventing the burger in most instances.
@@crezgaming9614 when I Google the first theme park in the world..... What is the oldest amusement park in the world?
In Dyrehaven, in the middle of the green beech forest, lies Bakken, the world's oldest amusement park. Since Kirsten Piil discovered the healing spring more than 440 years ago, Bakken has attracted millions of summer-happy guests from near and far - inland and abroad.
Heyy
I like how you both approached all the landmarks and attractions with good background knowledge. Pretty much all your information was correct which is rare to hear 😅
Regarding the origin of Danish pastry, in 1850 bakers went on strike and foreign bakers were hired. The Austrian bakers brought new techniques that combined with the Danish versions of pastry created the pastries as we know them today. The Danish name is even Vienna-bread (Wienerbrød)
As a kid I had the dream of moving to Denmark. Sure, I didn't know much about the country, but everything I heard about it was good enough to foster that dream. Now I've moved on from that goal, but still I keep some fondness for the country and still hope to visit it one day (and learn the language).
Denmark is a good country i live here and i love it w My whole Heart you should defentely visit Denmark❤
Our language is difficult though 😀
@@gjermand so I've heard, but it seems to be a rewarding one (especially if you're a fan of literature), thus I believe it'll be worth the effort - though I can see myself struggling with the pronunciation 😅
Ja især udtalen og de mange svære ord. Men kast dig endeligt ud i det 😀😀
@@gjermand No not compared to finnish or baltic languages.
As a Dane myself, this is a very cool presentation of Denmark :) Well done!
I just love how profoundly informative your vlogs always are, while never being boring! 😊
Much Love to You Both (+ the Baby) from Finland! 🇫🇮 🤗💕
Köpenhavn are the best city in the nordic countrys, Even though im Swedish i must say that. But you should check Malmö as well its a very nice city.
I'm an American whose lived in Denmark for 16 years and love it. Copenhagen definitely the best of the Scandi captials.
[ 25:08 ] - Smørrebrød is an open-faced sandwich. "Smør" means butter and "brød" means bread, so the name describes the "foundation" of the sandwich, which is buttered (rye) bread.
And to add the connection to the Swedish word smörgåsbord:
Smørrebrød and smörgås have the same meaning - open-faced sandwich with butter and various toppings. Smörgås literally means "butter-goose" and it allegedly originates from the little clumps of butter that would float to the top during the churning process looking like geese, and people would fish those out and put them on bread.
So smörgåsbord = butter-goose table/buffet.
Same meaning in Finland. Called voileipä, voi=butter, leipä=bread. It's open sandwich with toppings: butter, cheese, cold cuts, smoked salmon, gravlax, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, prawns and so on. We also make voileipäkakku=butter bread cake that is like a layer cake but with bread with savory fillings. Yummy!
Smörgåsbord is a buffet of toppings for your "open faced sandwich" for you to construct yourself.
You guys are so cute. A hotdog with everything on top like a champ :D
I think you did a very good job showing off Copenhagen and some traditional Danish foods and architecture.
Too bad you didn't get to see Børsen as it was an incredibly beautiful building. Actually, on that note, right across the street from the burned down building you got the Danish Parlament, Christiansborg ("Christian's Castle") from where the newly crowned King of Denmark was proclaimed King Frederik the 10th just a few months ago.
When I lived in Copenhagen I used to bike everywhere all the time but actually the public transportation in the city is great with many different options depending on where you're headed.
Last thing I want to add, when you go downtown and the weather is nice, it's just the best. You can walk across the bridge to the island Amager and hang out by the water or in one of the many parks in the city, so many good places to go. But every dane knows what the prices are like downtown. I wouldn't call them tourist traps as such but you definitely pay a premium for everything in the city center.
Thanks for the lovely video.
Some of those are boat houses, there are people staying all year round and hook up with public electricity just like some you see in Stockholm
I am from Copenhagen, and there is actually a wooden roller coaster in Tivoli which is still standing from 1840's
Time in video: 4:15
Its old, but not THAT old. It is from 1914.
Good video. I happy that you enjoy Copenhagen. You might have found the cheepest smørrebrød in the whole city :)
Det vil jeg også have😂
21:15 Medisterpølse, medisterkorv or simply medister is a Scandinavian specialty food consisting of a thick, spiced sausage made of minced pork and suet (or lard), stuffed into a casing. The word medister is derived from a combination of med and ister, respectively meaning 'meat' and 'suet'. It was first used in print in a Swedish housekeeping book from the early 16th century.
Loved your video, it was packed with lots of excellent information and tips for visitors looking forward to the next one.
AWESOME, GREETINGS FROM HELSINKI, FINLAND🇫🇮🇩🇰🇨🇦
Copenhagen central station has has a high ceiling because it’s built for steam locomotives.
And btw there isn’t mayonnaise in the hot dog, it’s remoulade - which is mayonnaise with finely chopped pickles
And it is not mustard on the roastbeef. It’s also remoulade, pickles, horseradish and fried onions.
@@lenajensen5940 Remoulade is quite a lot more than Mayo and pickles... It's curry, it's kapers, it's carrot, it's pickles, it's mayo, its vinagre.
Nice video. The marching soldiers are the Royal Guard which change everyday at 12.00 at the Royal Palace Amalienborg. Go see it. The church next to Round Tower is where I was baptized.
You guys are soo nice and really well informed. You were really respectful and openminded. Just got me in such a good mood and psyched for the summer coming in Copenhagen. Thank you and have a wonderful trip. 🙂
#14:42 - it is not a little mermaid statue. It is THE Little Mermaid statue.
It's a pretty disappointing tourist attraction.
The head of the mermaid was stolen many times 😅
@@Tiax776 yes but mainly for Americans for some reason they think the LITTLE mermaid is a BIG mermaid like the statue of liberty😂its not a statue that Danes travel to see, its more all the things she has been through that is interesting, people stealing her head ect. and the fact that it's a symbol of Hans Christian Andersen, however the route to see the Mermaid is great because it takes people to Amalienborg, castle, Frederiks church, kastellet (the Citadel) the English church, the Gefion fountain and Copenhagen harbor , so unless people arrive in a bus just to see the mermaid it is a great trip
Haha agree, sometimes his comments come across a little ignorant, no offence
So happy to see you guys enjoying Copenhagen! I am happy to be Danish and living in Copenhagen. it is a great city with so much to do and see, yes Denmark is expensive but also quite decent in quality. Hope you will be back again.
Omg yes...Diablo II! I met my husband on battlenet 20 years ago. Love from a Dane 😊
You met your husband on Battle.Net? Wow. I want to see a Netflix documentary about this love story. 10/10 would watch. Congrats!!
@@JetLagWarriors sure did. I was a frozen orb sorc and he was a hammerdin. Best drop 😃
I went to Denmark years ago and only managed a brief trip to Copenhagen was so nice to reminisce and see the things I didnt manage.I'll need to return
Thanks for the upload. Last time I went to another country I went to Copenhagen, it was a wonderful and a bit peculiar, don’t know how to describe it, experience. Love from Sweden
what you are saying is Danes are weird🤣😂🙃love from Denmark
There is only one right way
to eat a Danish Hotdog...
Lean forward... 😄
That's why fat joe got in trouble
I'm so glad you enjoyed Copenhagen :) I've lived here for nearly 20 years, and I love it. If you are ever here again, I highly recommend walking through Frederiksberg Gardens - the right time of year you can see the elephants at the zoo. Bike theft is the #1 crime here, haha, seriously. My husband (Danish) had FOUR bikes stolen, despite locking them up, in 8 months!
The bikes are locked by a small frame lock, you can see them holding on the back wheel. Its not much, but enough for a non expensive bike.
Always fun seeing these travel videos of people visiting us, glad you liked it 😊
I love you guys' enthusiasm! Thank you for visiting our lovely Copehagen
As a dane it’s pretty fun to watch. Thank You for your kind words about our Capital :-)
I Love That Some People Like You Guys Post About Denmark
Thank you for visiting Denmark :)
There are a lot of things to see outside of Copenhagen as well.
Have fun! And glad to know Ivana is feeling good! ENJOY! 🤗 Denmark reminds me a little bit of the Netherlands.
Nice to see Copenhagen from your perspective 💪😎 Even with more delicate coverage of the stock exchange fire than the Danish news medias...
I came here to relive my trip there last weekend and realized when you showed the fire we were there at the same time! Lovely city, hope to return and visit some of the spots I evidently missed ❤
Copenhagen takes the prize for best tourist city in Scandinavia with its culture, architechture, food and general vibes. But the lack of a good hockey scene holds it back!
Other parts of Denmark has, Aalborg, Herning, Esbjerg, Haderslev. 2 of them are in the finals right now
As a Dane, I also find Copenhagen to be an absurdly expensive city to vist. Go to Jutland and experience the real side of Denmark.
I am danish, from Copenhagen, Thank you for your visit (and kind words) 🥰
Heyy
Great video you two and thanks for showing me things I haven't seen in Copenhagen (I'm Danish 😊) 👍
Omg ... second comment. Yesszaa!!! Have fun in Denmark!!
我没说不和你去哦！🎉
Im glad that you guys had a good time in Copenhagen!
It was my favorite building in the area seeing that Børsen has burnt down is an absolute tragedy. We have lost a piece of history that it will be impossible to get back.
spend most of my life in copenhagen - and yup, K-town is the best! I moved out to get closer to nature, but K-town is still such a vibe.
Go to Tivoli!!! I love there 😍😍😍
Tivoli of course. 2019 25.12 and amazing fireworks! Beautiful lights. National Aquarium was also great. Rundetårn in the city center👍 A good destination
21:40 not mayo but Rémoulade (the yellow umami stuff), you will typically get both fried and fresh onions on top.
Holy grail while touring, legendary :) love your videos guys! :)
I love your thorough and sincere coverage of everything you see. Especially the history facts about Tivoli, buildings and the Stock Exchange that sadly burned :(
18:50 This style is alien to Denmark. It is the English church in Copenhagen, and its architecture is very English.
Was born and raised in Copenhagen. I'm 42, but in my younger years I wanted to leave so badly. It felt way to cramped and boring. After I tried the whole living abroad thing for a couple of years, I moved back to Copenhagen and I fell in love with my city and my country again. And I loving seeing videos like yours too remind me of how incredibly lucky I am that I get to live here my whole life and even being able to take beauty, security and education for granted.
I love my city. ❤❤
Kom til at tænke på sangen:
Kastrup DC 9 - jeg var kommet for at ta' af sted
Da vi fik vingerne op, kom jeg til at kigge ned
Der lå vores by under dagene på træk
Min tid gik helt i stå - hvorfor var det, at jeg ville væk?
Copenhagen dreaming 🎶
just wanted to point out as a dane living in the Jutland part of Denmark, that all around in Denmark we joke about how high the coffee prices are in Copenhagen🤣
Hi guys, what a nice video of Copenhagen. Especially I admire that you clearly had done some very good 'research' before you came here, and you were very well prepared to experience a lot of nice and significant stuff. Yes, Copenhagen is a very nice city and I am lucky to live here.
A few comments: 08:50 the Danish is a chocolate spandauer. A bit later: 'the military parade' is The Royal Life Guard marching to the Kings Palace to shift the guard. Smørrebrød: yes, it must be resten with fork and knife. You can find smaller versions that can be eaten by hand, but they are hard to find in the center of Cph. By the way: always eat the fish first.
Impressive what you managed to see in a short time. If you come another time, you should visit the neighbourhoods next to the Inner City. Especially Nørrebro and Vesterbro. You will find a lot more of Copenhagen there.
Really enjoyed your video. Come back another time 👍🙏
You guys are awesome. I love how you cut your smørrebrød 😅, and as someone mentioned - 4 pieces for 100 DKK that's a very good price. You are welcome back any time. Thank you for a great video :)
The marching band is the royal guard. That happens every day in Copenhagen. I guess it's a great sight for tourists and children, but oh my, have they disturbed many of my lectures with their noise, when I was studying at Copenhagen University...
LOL I bet this happens a lot. The idea that a tourist can see something and say, WOW! And immediately get their camera, and a local is like, ugh not this again! haha
Architecture trait of Copenhagen downtown area. Most building have the corner cut and entrance door exactly on the cut corner.
Reason: When Copenhagen was built from wood mostly a massive fire destroyed more than quarter of the city. Part of reason was horse-driven fire trucks had difficulty turn the corners in the narrow streets. So the cut corners are a city fire mitigation technique. And it makes Copenhagen city experience unique because all road crossing are a little more open than in other cities.
Copenhagen Central station is the largest and one of the oldest train stations that exists in Denmark. That church you were looking at from the round tower by the way. I was up on the tower, and there was absolutely almost no safety when standing outside. That was horrifying.
You should visit Torvehallerne at Nørreport is the best foodhall in copenhagen and Reffen close to the operahouse best streetfood in copenhagen
Torvehallerne is the biggest tourist scam of all of Copenhagen, what are you on about, do you got a shop there? Lol
@@danilo6680 I dont know what you mean with biggest tourist scam, as a local I like shopping at torve hallerne the food quallity is very high so you get what you pay for
@@cassio2999 Then I suggest you keep paying for what you get (mediocre), instead of finding the real hidden gems around the city. Enjoy
Go to Reffen street food market!
Hey. I have followed your Nordic journey at least from Djurgårn/Hovet. For an "amateur" reporter I must say you're doing a great job! TH-cam sometime bring out gems.
Just a fun fact, H.C.Andersen's storys is NOT childrens storys, it was wannerbrothers and Disney that rerote the endings to make them Happy.
Sorry for bad typeing, i am dyslexic.
Steve actually did cut the Smørrebrød the right way! Well done ;)
Thank you for promoting our beautiful capital!
And as one of the few people covering the city, you do mention to people that (due to a High min/avg wage) things are actually quite expensive here. It’s a fantastic city, but be prepared to pay more for stuff than youre used to
Hello I’m from Denmark and I hope that you enjoyed/is enjoying the time you have/had!
(And about the boats they normally just stay in the kanal but some times they’re out is different from the one sailing boat 😅)
The wooden roller coaster in Tivoli, while it might not be from when the park opened it, is 110 years old this year :)
Wow! I'd imagine it creaks and bends as the car goes along... sounds fun :) and scary
@@JetLagWarriors Super fun and not very scary. It's very well maintained :D
@@Foodgeekso is my wife she's still damn scary
@@JetLagWarriors Less cushion than your modern day coaster for sure ;)
You only just scratched the surface. If you ever come back and need some additonal recommendation - do say!
Top of mind suggestion for next time around:
- Stay at Urban Camper. Same price if not cheaper, than what you paid.
- Walk around Nørrebro (Named best citypart in the world) and Nordvest - Hipster paradise and best place to visit OG Bodegas (Danish "pubs").
- Grab a bike and ride it down Nørrebrogade. Get a kebab at any place that look legit. Grab a beer on Blågårdsgade.
- Bike to Nørreport, go to Nyhavn, ride across the bridge to Christiania. Take a smokebreak!
- Continue to Refshaleøen and Reffen for some great street food.
- Continue into town and visit Kødbyen for some dancing or hit Bipbip-bar for drinks and arcade.
(The above is a recommended for anyone visiting Copenhagen, who want a good time
Really nice video. Loved you got some Denmark during WWII education :)
Glaad you went to the resistance museum, very cool! A couple of my great-grandparents were resistance fighters fighting against the Germans. Happy you enjoyed our small capital :)
As a Dane, living in Copenhagen (Amager Strand) this makes me appreciate my city even more 🤩
I love your Copenhagen tour!! Living in north Denmark I don’t come to KBH so often. You guys did a great video. The rye bread is something we eat every day well some Danes 😂 thanks
that was a creap hotel, and it looks really nice :D glad you enjoyed your stay in denmark :D
So happy you love our capital! I, myself, loved it too even after living in all parts of Denmark. :-)
i want to try all the food you had in the video 👍
The "Spandauer" is actually the name of another pastry, the one you got is actually called af "Bund snegl" which is af cinnamon bun baked in a small round circle
Time in video: 8:35
Glad you liked your stay here!
About Christian 4th..
Rosenborg Slot (The King's Palace) was not the only thing in the video built by King Christian 4th.
The two very iconic buildings Rundetårn (The Round Tower) and Børsen (the stock exchange that burner) that you saw earlier were also "built by him".
its fun to watch, there are places you visist i have either never visited or havent been there in forever and i live in copenhagen
Yes, Danishes are from Austria. In the Scandinavian languages, they are called "wienerbrød"(in Danish and Norwegian) / "Wienerbröd" (in Swedish) which means Vienna bread.
Thank you for taking the video! Let me travel around the world without leaving home.😂🎉
I live in denmark and sure i am happy for u to visit denmark and i hope u enjoyed being there
It is the King's Lifeguard who walked the pedestrian street in Copenhagen and played music
