Copenhagen 2022 - Part 1

Arriving In Copenhagen
 
Wednesday - June 8th 2022
 
Claudia attended a conference in Copenhagen and after her business trip finished I flew to Copenhagen as well. Once my flight from Vienna landed in Copenhagen, I took the metro to Copenhagen's city center, where Claudia was already waiting for me at our hotel. We stayed at the WakeUp Copenhagen, because we knew that hotel from our previous visit a vouple of years ago. Since we were very happy with that budget hotel chain back then, we decided to book it again. After we unpacked our luggage we headed out to get a welcome drink at a nearby outdoor bar. Later we had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, where we both ordered the veggie burger with fries. Afterwards we just strolled through the city and returned to our hotel.

After we got up, we had breakfast at the hotel, which was okay, but not really worth the price in our opinion. Later we decided to take a walk around the city to Amalienborg Castle, the official residence of the Danish Royals. The castle wasn't as impressive as, for example Buckingham Palace, but it was still a must see for us. Then we continued our walk and headed to Kastellet, a fortress that protected Copenhagen from intruders. Since the fortress is still used by the military, we weren't allowed to go wherever we wanted to, but Kastellet was nonetheless quite impressive. Our next stop was the world famous Little Mermaid statue. During our last visit in 2010 the mermaid was in Shaghai at the World expo, but this time we finally got to see her. To our surprise the Little Mermaid was rather samll, however we enjoyed our time there.

On our way back to the inner city we stopped at a bar right next to the harbour and enjoyed a glass of beer while watching the boats go by. Since it was already noon, we got hungry and searched for a snack. Claudia and I found a nice bagel bar, where we both ordered a falafel bagel. The bagels were delicious and so it was no surprise that it wasn't our last visit to that chain restaurant. After lunch we got a coffee at the roof top terrace at the Illum Department Store from where we had a wonderful view over Copenhagen.

In the afternoon we continued our sightseeing tour through Copenhagen with a stop at the lovely Green Island Bar. There we relaxed from our long walks with an ice cold glass of beer. After exploring the more modern area of Copenhagen we headed back to Nyhavn, but had to stop at falafel bar for dinner. Back in the inner city we checked out Nyhavn, where we had another drink before returning to the hotel.
