Copenhagen

I have good memories of Copenhagen, it felt more light hearted than the other Scandinavian capitals. I wouldn't mind visiting it again. Here we have an open air concert in front of the City Hall.


A market scene. Notice the frisør, probably adopted from French friseur. The Bethesda mission building in the background also provides a location where the picture was taken.


Copenhagen crowd. It might have been a religious gathering, from the headdresses worn.


This is most likely one end of the Strøget, a very long shopping street. The amount of car-free spaces in Copenhagen is one of the reasons it's very pedestrian and bicycle friendly.


Nyhavn (New Harbour) which historically was a disreputable area due to the sailors, but is now just a tourist attraction.


And of course how could I not visit the emblem of Copenhagen, Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid.

There are more pictures to come, of a visit to the Tivoli gardens in the evening and beer in the Carlsberg brewery.
