Copenhagen

The time to walk around Copenhagen is at dusk. I especially enjoyed strolling along the main canal, where people are dining in both restaurants and on their private boats.


The opera house is an incredible sight at sunset.


On the second day of my trip to Copenhagen I went across the river to Orestad. It is literally a whole new city being built in connection with the old city of Copenhagen. So far it mostly is home to the university, new apartments, and the largest mall I have ever been to. Here is just one of the university's student housing buildings, finished in 2006.


Here we have the palace! Maybe


Biking is of course very popular and the best way to see Copenhagen but I would recommend renting a bike from a shop. There are free ones on the street, but at least for me they were absolutely terrifying to ride. It is also hard to find an available free bike, but it is a great system! I cannot wait for US cities to catch up and provide easy bike rentals.
