It was nice seeing your husband in this video. He completes your show and creates a different dimension and depth to your videos. All of God's blessing to you, your husband, your baby, your family and your future.
As a person that has grown up in Denmark (Copenhagen), videos like this always make me appreciate the city I live in. Sometimes I seem to forget how amazing and awesome the city is, as I’m constantly surrounded by it.
I fell in love with Copenhagen during a highschool exchange to Denmark in 2006 and promised myself that I would one day live at least 6 months in Copenhagen. 10 years later I met my Danish boyfriend in Italy and moved to Copenhagen! Since then we lived on and off in Denmark, some winters in northern Finland and summers in Italy. But since we had a baby we live in Aarhus and I absolutely love this city, but when I saw your video, it made me miss Copenhagen. I have been following you for a while now and was pleasantly surprised that you were actually here! You should definitely stay longer next time, you won't regret it!
I moved to Denmark over 25 years ago, haven't regretted it for a second! Not Copenhagen though, I'm a rural girl through and through - big cities are great to visit, but not to live in (imho). We live on the edge of a small town, our house is surrounded by woodland, but we're still close to the town center and train station. The language is difficult, but definitely do-able, as long as you can get the Danes to stop speaking English to you. And yeah, Hygge is a state of mind, and so much more than just being cosy.
Where did you move from, if you don't mind me asking? Just wondering how the transition was! I don't think I could live in a city either. But I love visiting. A countryside cottage is a dream.
@@createdforeden I grew up in the UK, rural Wales followed by the outskirts of Crewe. The language is always going to be difficult, but if you're determined and speak it every day (I work in a hospital, so it is essential I can understand patients and their notes, in Danish), it's possible. I was 23 at the time, so I had age on my side, but I wouldn't say I was above average as far as languages go. As for the culture, its not too dissimilar, although there are differences, so I wouldn't say that was a huge problem. I avoided the British expat community, on the premise that if that's what I wanted I shouldn't have made the move. Above all, wanting to be a part of the community, and a curiosity about the cultural differences is essential to make it work. Denmark is a little different to the UK as far as rural communities - they aren't as sought efter (although there are villages that are thriving), so schools and shops can close which leads to families leaving, it's a downward spiral leading to cheaper housing. In the UK, good rural villages are aspired too, with more expensive housing. As I mentioned I live on the edge of a small town, we have the best of both worlds - nature on our doorstep, but still only a 15 minute walk to the train station and the town center.
Hej. Lovely to hear your like Denmark. It is so much more than Copenhagen. We have many small Islands and Jylland. The nature is fantastic. So take a trip around the country, it is so lovely, so much history and different nature. Breathtaking.🥰
Hej (the Danish way to say "Hey"), we live in Germany with our two boys and bought a Camper a few Weeks ago. Next Year we want to drive through Denmark and hope to do this a few more times. Maybe we will move to Denmark too. My Sister in law moved to Denmark in May and she loves it. I think when you have kids, it can be very special because there is so much nature and children can have the experience of living a wild and free childhood. I'm very excited for the first time being in Denmark.
Not only is it fab for the kids to grow up in Denmark, but they will open a lot of doors for you. Especially doors into private homes, but also "force" a lot of social activities on the family. Furthermore they will pick up they language were fast, and thereby keep you on your toes 😉 I hope you have a splendid holiday. Peace and love. Ps: don't miss Fyn, the fairytale island!
Almost everybody would like to live in Denmark. which is why the Danish authorities have made it almost impossible to obtain the essential visa and work permit.
Christiansborg, the Government building, was intended for the King after one more huge fire had destroyed the city center. But though there is room for it, the King never moved in, as he preferred to stay in the four buildings intended for 4 noble families, which is now Amalienborg Castle! And this is why each building is named after a family.
Thanks Taylor! I’m moving to Barcelona this February and going to Copenhagen in May, couldn’t be more perfect to watch this. So excited to experience the Hygge lifestyle firsthand
Remember Rosenborg Castle (walking distance from the center), at Rosenborg (might have to buy ticket online) you can see every woman's dream, the crown jewels. Yes, our Queen uses them at special occasions.
Happy you liked it here! 5:15 The museum was actually not designed to look like a ship, per se - it's built into and around an old drydock from when Denmark was big on shipbuilding. Very fitting given the museum's theme. Bjarke Ingels' studio designed it, for those that are interested in architecture, and they broke all the rules of the architecture competition in proposing this underground museum around the drydock. The judges thankfully said "fuck it" and went with the best project. Also, 4:46 Rapeseed or mustard fields. They are everywhere
The M/S Museet for Søfart in Helsingør (Danish maritime and trade history) which you mentioned was shaped like a ship was actually built in the docks from the disused Helsingør shipyard. It is the famous Danish architect group Bjarke Ingels Group that created the museum.
Dane here. I’d just like to say that I really appreciated this video and your view on Copenhagen. It’s clear to see that you actually made an effort to experience the real Copenhagen and not just the touristy things. You’re welcome back anytime 🤓
So glad, you enjoyed your stay. And you visited Helsingør (Elsinore) with our Kronborg Castle. It's my hometown and Kronborg is quite stunning surrounded by the waters of Øresund 😊
You and your family are more than welcome. Remember next time you visit Copenhagen you had to visit our Queen as wel - still in the middel of Copenhagen.
hi i am from Denmark. nice to see your video. yes, it's true that everything closes early and many things are closed on Sundays, it's a bit boring, but I've never seen it that way that it's because we leave work early, it's fun to see it through someone else's eyes, so thank you. normally in Denmark a working day is from 7-15 or 8-16 and the yellow field is canola.
Hey there. Thanks for making an awesome free advertisement for my living place. I often forget the beauty and coziness of the city. Reallyd made my day to watch. Very nice video ❤
I am glad you like Denmark… please come back some day… you forgot to see the queens guards, their barracs right behind Rosenborg castle.. and if you are lucky you see them walk from their barracs to Amalienborg.. the queens residence.. where they are on guard 24/7.. The Yellow flower on the field… is mustard plants.. they are very Common here in Denmark…
I am also Danish, living near Copenhagen. Your history make me warm at heart. Warm people like you should consider moving to Copenhagen, but I must admid it's not easy.
@@createdforeden The rules for permanent residence have become very strict. 20 years ago we invited many people, mainly from the Middle East to work here, but we did not set any requirements for their families to integrate into society, with the result that a parallel society arose and with a lot of crime as a result. This resulted in the strict entry rules today, which apply to everyone, incl. persons from western countries who wish to reside in Denmark. If you know Rufus Gifford, the former US ambassador to Denmark under Obama. He can tell you a lot about Denmark, and he is a very dear friend of Denmark. See all Rufus videos on UA-cam. Good luck. If you need further information, you are welcome!
@@createdforeden I wrote a post where I recommended this UA-cam channel ua-cam.com/video/YWVHfn_zIS8/v-deo.html It’s an American family that moved here about 4 years ago with their teenage daughter and they have videos on everything including why they moved here, the challenges and difficulties in moving from the USA to Denmark.
Nice video! And thank you for visiting Denmark. As a Dane I would definitely recommend renting a car and go to Nordsjælland, especially coastal towns like Gilleleje and Hornbæk are beautiful during the summer. You should also visit Jylland, the small town of Ribe is very beautiful. While you’re there, make a trip to Rømø as well.
Whar a great video! Denmark will be one of my next destinations to visit🙌🏻 I find everything about Danes and their culture fascinating. If there is such a thing as perfect country Denmark is pretty close, and I haven’t even been there😍🥰
I live in Copenhagen. Really impressed by how many of the best sites you managed to squeeze into your visit. Those are many of my favorite places too. The shop you visited was Illums Bolighus at Strøget shopping street, which is a very neat high quality shop, but a bit pricey. I think both Emmerys bakery/patisserie and the Hot Dog stand by Rundetårn only serves organic foods. Again - high quality, but pricey. The Maritime Museum in Helsingør/Elsinore is built in former dry docks, hence the ship shape. And yes, it has facilities/workshops for visiting schools and kindergartens, as do SMK and the National Museum. Very nice video with great shots of all the places. You really managed to capture the essence of each location. I recommend Frilandsmuseet and Louisiana Museuom for your next visit. With your interest in Art, I also recommend a trip to Aarhus, Denmarks second largest city. Aros and Moesgaard Museums and Gamle By (Old City) are special.
the flowers look like oilseed rape (or rapeseed), very common in the English countryside, and very bright yellow 🙂 I enjoyed seeing your adventures in Denmark, it reminds me a little of Norway, which is also a beautiful country to visit
Helsingør is a great city, happy to see you experienced that. By 5he way the yellow field is RAPESEED, used to make cooking oil :) by the way next time you should experience a summer in the best island in the world - Bornholm
You should definitely come in the summer, and go shopping in the weekdays. The sjops will be open for much longer, and Nyhavn is really showing it's best. :)
Now you have visit Copenhagen. That is a tenth of what to see in Denmark and the rest of Denmark is quite different. Wellcome back to Odense (HC Andersen museum), Århus (Moesgaard museum of archaeology and the collection of original houses from all over Denmark: 'Den gamle by'), Ribe (oldest town), and much more.
If you manage to come for a longer period I would definitely recommend going to Skagen. A Beautiful town with some amazing art from a group called Skagens malerne (the painters of Skagen) it has lots of unique nature as well. You can go to Grenen wich is at the top of Denmark where two seas collide.
As a Dane of course this video is so so nice. A lot of special places are shown here and it’s incredibly validating. I just highly ask of all tourists to orient yourself with the bike lanes. We are riding fast and there’s a lot of us. We can’t always see everyone while riding. Please don’t walk or stand on the bike lane. It’s dangerous.
Tivoli is the third oldest amusement park in the world. George Carstensen founded it in 1843 (not 1841). He was the first person being allowed to build outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. (Next time you visit, visit the Museum of Copenhagen ... Just to see how Copenhagen developed! ;) ) Oh, BTW ... The world's oldest amusement park is also Danish; Bakken. On your way to Helsingør, you actually kind of passed it. It's located at Klampenborg. Christiansborg that stand NOW is actually the third Christiansborg ... It burned ... Twice ... The site used to house Copenhagen Castle, which was the royal palace until the royal family moved to Amalienborg (Where they live today!) ... Just because it took some time rebuilding Christiansborg (Royals are kind of picky, right? ^^ ) ... Two times ... Underneath Christiansborg you can visit the ruins of Copenhagen Castle. It's are little dark and spooky (Very nice for a Halloween visit!), but will give you the history of the castles.
I was at Tivoli right after Christmas, some years ago, 2006 I believe, and the Christmas markets opened for a couple of days between Christmas and New Years. They had a very unusual amount of snow (we landed in a blizzard) and we were there at night and it was so beautiful.
My niece lived in Copenhagen for a year while going to school. I visited her there and really loved it. Everything about it. I have had two very close Danish friends who immigrated to America and there are "issues" but not many. I also love Sweden and if I was younger and my finances were different I would be looking to go to either Denmark or Sweden just as fast as I possibly could.
I simply love Copenhagen and Denmark was indeed rated to be the happiest country in the world in the past; however, Finland has been rated as the happiest country in the world for the last 6 years in a row.
i am glad you likes our country😊 next time you visit try going to Roskilde they have a really cool viking boat museum and the city is one of the oldest villages in Denmark. it´s only around 45 minutes from Copenhagen.
I am Danish moved to the state long ago. Was just home this past summer and wanted to cry and kick my own butt why why did I move from here. But at the end of my visit I was ready to co e back to the state. Hygiene is a word we use for everything.
next time you should go to lousiana museum of modern art, its probably the most beautiful museum ive ever been to, but you should go on a sunny day as a lot of it is outdoors
Awesome video, i love Copenhagen aswell, but i prefer to live in the country side and just travel back and forth. It's also very easy to take a train from Copenhagen to somewhere else in Denmark like Roskilde (Vikings), Odense(HC Andersen birthplace), Aarhus(Vikings, coasy and chill metropolis)
I’m a former au pair in Denmark and i miss that place. Jeg elsker Danmark 😍🤍 even though I’m not in Denmark anymore there’s a big impact in my life “hygge” 😌 they love organic products 🌿
The yellow fields you saw are rapeseed. It's used for rapeseed oil used for cooking just as grapeseed and sunflower oil. Sorry you didn't got to go near it. It has a beatyful scent when blooming. I live in the rural Denmark, and I love the smell of rapeseed flowers in May.
Glad you liked our country and thanks for all your kind words. Denmark is so much more than just Copenhagen. We have many sights and places that are so cool. Next time try a true local bakery for some real good danish bread and danishes. You Will love it. Hope you and your family Will visit us Again
I loved the Smorrebrod. Not spelled absolutely correctly, I don'' know how to make the addtitional diacritics. I know there is a debate in some circles about whether is it authentic or not, but I don't care,, it's delicious. There are a lot of places to have it at all kinds of prices. My Danish friend used to prepare that every Christmas season and invite a bunch of us over to share the table. So good. Gotta have beer.
Im a dane here as well and i live in copenhagen. This video was so great, you made me want to visit all those places again, and i see them every day. you really catch the atmosphere of Hygge in this video, super great. i hope you visit us again :)
The yellow fields are rape fields. Among other things, oil for frying food is made from the seeds of the flowers. I'm glad you had a good trip to our little country.
Most of our architecture is from the age of sails when we were doing slavery in the caribbean, earning a massive profit on sugar. The art you see in the Glyptotek is mostly stolen loot that belong to other nations.
So happy to hear you had such an amazing time, and that you want to do a long visit next, if not outright move here. You are very much welcome to choose either, and if you want any ideas for other cities to visit I would suggest Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense. They are all amazing big cities with much to see and do, and I think you would have an amazing time 😊
Wow I can’t believe how much you managed to squeeze in in only 5 days, I would be exhausted 😅 I grew up less than 100 m from Rosenborg slot and went to school across the street from the kings garden. As a kid I often went to the botanical garden to feed the ducks from the little bridge and to go to the greenhouse. And of course I had to get up to the top and walk around. The botanical garden and everything in it was free back then. I have always loved the round tower, it’s 400 years old and yet it feels so solid, like it will stand forever. It’s fascinating to study the old building techniques and to think about how it was built without the help of any machinery. If you plan on coming back sometime I can recommend the channel travelin’young. It’s an American family that moved to Denmark and have been living here about 4 years now. When Covid hit making traveling impossible they started to drive around Denmark visiting museums, castles, cities and historically interesting places. I honestly think they know Denmark better than any Dane at this point 😂
The yellow fields are Canola, intended for making oil. And Danish King Christian the 4th did visit England, so that may be why playwright, William Shakespeare was asked/found out to write a play based on a Danish Myth about a Prince, named Amled. The original story is quite different though. And the Maritime Museum was built in the outside of a former drydock, in the former Shipyard in Helsingør. It was designed by "famous" Danish Architect. Bjarke Ingels. Bjarke Ingels has also designed an artificial "ski-hill" on top of a working Incinerator Plant, making heat for the area around it, as well as a building, for obvious reasons named: "The Figure 8"! He also has made an American Branch of his firm (B.I.G. Bjarke Ingels Group) building in the US, also as part of the former 9/11 area. One of his first works was an observation tower in a park in US, looking as a pin on a map!
1) "Nyhavn" -perfect pronunciation 2) the yellows are either mustard or canola fields... most often Canola. Yes, like the oil.... Mustard have more of a scent to it
i think finland is ranked number 1 currently and denmark number 2. but still.. the nordic countries have many similarities in that regard. copenhagen is like the capitol of scandinavia. people love it there. i live 30 min away. awesome city!
Its funny how you some times forget to "visit" your own city. I'm bord and raised and live all my live in the center of CPH, but its been years and years since i've been to Glyptoteket and many other places you visit in your video. So now im making a list :) :) Please do come back, and make lots of videos like this, so we, who live here, dont forget all the cool places we have :) Thank you..
Personally, I never understood that particular desire. If you want to make fun of foreigners’ inability to pronounce Danish words with highly unusual phonetic features, ask them to order two smoked trout (or _røgede ørreder_ in Danish) instead - much harder to say.
If you liked Rosenborg, you should really visit Hillerød slot. It is one of the most jawdropping thing we have :) write me if you need hint for next time👍
The yellow fields are either rape seed like the kind used for oil. In Danish "RAPS" In some cases the fields are mustard and it's really difficult to se but we have a lot of it in Denmark and it brighent your mood to pas by them.
I’m so happy you all enjoyed my country 🇩🇰 you pronounce Danish words so perfect 😍 welcome back and remember to relax and have time to “hygge” 🙏 it is important to take your time… many greetings here from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you for a very nice video, I’m glad you all liked Denmark. If you want to know more about moving to Denmark you can watch rode trotting and travelling young, 2 American family’s that moved to Denmark about 5 years ago.
HC Andersen never had his own home, but rented a room on top of a house in Nyhavn, while travelling round Denmark and Europe. Compared with the present values he became a billionaire in his lifetime, as a trusted family member took care of his paid for rights
i live in copenhagen (i was born here) you didn't get it as wrong as a lot people from other countries :) the flowers are Brassica napus they are the flowers you use make rapeseed oil and biofuel .... you should have experienced denmark in the past it used to be alot better i dont mind explaining that to you if you want me to and a thing thats different about me than most people who are commenting on here is a lived in the US to
I'm sure you felt hygge at that little coffee shop. If you were drinking coffee and chatting with your husband, while relaxing for a while in the middle of a busy day. We would defnitely say it was a hyggelig little cafe and that we hyggede while we were there. Or that it was a hyggelig little break. We could feel hygge in a more modern cafeteria but it would mean that the one(s) you were with would need to focus more on having a more intense togetherness, shutting out any other guests. The warm feeling of the cafe you found is definitely more conductive to having hygge.
The Yellow on the fields could be from Mustard/oil Vinegar that is planted on October & november to help bind nutrients so they don't get washed into the groundwater or waterways where they can cause problems. Nyhavn actually used to be quite the scene back when H.C. Andersen lived. With "ladies of the night," drunken sailors from afar and rowdy inns. Now it is more family friendly though. While Copenhagen is great, there is also MUCH more to Denmark. I encourage you to come visit again and perhaps plan a trip around the country. Go see Fyn and Jylland. See the nature that we have tried so painfully to preserve and maybe rent a "Summer house" on one of the island by the Vesterhav or North Jylland. You will discover a new kind of silence there I promise. As for moving to Denmark, well it is not exactly easy. But if you can get a job here that can qualify you. More info here - www.nyidanmark.dk/en-GB/Applying If you want to explore the concepts of living Danishly. Heere is an older recording of A British woman name Hele Russe who moved to Denmark with her husband and had a lot to say about it. - ua-cam.com/video/h1RXGltx4SI/v-deo.html She explores some of the reasons behind just why the Danes seem to be more well, Danish.
I’m writing a book right now about an important character of Danish history and I really want to visit the country and get to know it, but boy... the only Dane i know is the complete opposite of the Danish ideal of community and family that you talk about!
Wow you really crammed so much into your trip and video. I got winded from just watching. Anyway if you are coming back you should check out “traveling Young’s” channel for info and inspiration about Denmark
Next time you visit make sure to go to Ærø (an idyllic island south of the island of Funen) and Skagen in Nothern Jutland...maybe also visit Svanneke on Bornholm :-)....And Odense!
I am Danish, and I am glad you experienced hygge. I usually say that hygge is a state of mind, and you will know when it hits you.

As a Dane I would definitely recommend renting a car and go to Nordsjælland, especially coastal towns like Gilleleje and Hornbæk are beautiful during the summer. You should also visit Jylland, the small town of Ribe is very beautiful. While you’re there, make a trip to Rømø as well.
The yellow plant is rapeseed. I work at the sightseeing boat and at Rosenborg, so I wonder if I you saw you then. I'm glad you had a good time here 👍😊
Im just amazed at how clean everything is. 😳
Yeah, even our dirt is clean 😁
Whar a great video! Denmark will be one of my next destinations to visit🙌🏻 I find everything about Danes and their culture fascinating. If there is such a thing as perfect country Denmark is pretty close, and I haven’t even been there😍🥰
if you do go, then i can recommend a one-day trip to the city of roskilde, just outside of Copenhagen. it's a very cozy small town.
The yellow field is a flower used to make Oil and the name is RASP . Rasp olie.
RAPS not rasp
What a wonderful video of your visit here
Super happy you enjoyed my city. First time watching your videos, but this was dope! You have a very chill voice!
Thanks!
Whata cute lil video, so well done as always. Looked so fun n relaxing. Tfs 🥰
Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you had such a good visit to Denmark.
I live in Copenhagen. Really impressed by how many of the best sites you managed to squeeze into your visit. Those are many of my favorite places too. The shop you visited was Illums Bolighus at Strøget shopping street, which is a very neat high quality shop, but a bit pricey. I think both Emmerys bakery/patisserie and the Hot Dog stand by Rundetårn only serves organic foods. Again - high quality, but pricey. The Maritime Museum in Helsingør/Elsinore is built in former dry docks, hence the ship shape. And yes, it has facilities/workshops for visiting schools and kindergartens, as do SMK and the National Museum. Very nice video with great shots of all the places. You really managed to capture the essence of each location. I recommend Frilandsmuseet and Louisiana Museuom for your next visit. With your interest in Art, I also recommend a trip to Aarhus, Denmarks second largest city. Aros and Moesgaard Museums and Gamle By (Old City) are special.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you for such a positive take on my city. Greetings from Copenhagen
the flowers look like oilseed rape (or rapeseed), very common in the English countryside, and very bright yellow 🙂
I enjoyed seeing your adventures in Denmark, it reminds me a little of Norway, which is also a beautiful country to visit
Yep, it's oilseed rape. It's grown in abundance.
Yes it is Rasp in Danish
@@LynxLord1991 Raps. 😉
@@Elgsdyr Haha yes didnt even notice
Aka canola in North America
Helsingør is a great city, happy to see you experienced that. By 5he way the yellow field is RAPESEED, used to make cooking oil :) by the way next time you should experience a summer in the best island in the world - Bornholm
Glad you had a good time here❤
You should definitely come in the summer, and go shopping in the weekdays. The sjops will be open for much longer, and Nyhavn is really showing it's best. :)
Now you have visit Copenhagen. That is a tenth of what to see in Denmark and the rest of Denmark is quite different. Wellcome back to Odense (HC Andersen museum), Århus (Moesgaard museum of archaeology and the collection of original houses from all over Denmark: 'Den gamle by'), Ribe (oldest town), and much more.
Egeskov Castle on Fyn is brilliant, also for kids.
The "hygge" spreads in mysterious ways... 😊
If you manage to come for a longer period I would definitely recommend going to Skagen. A Beautiful town with some amazing art from a group called Skagens malerne (the painters of Skagen) it has lots of unique nature as well. You can go to Grenen wich is at the top of Denmark where two seas collide.
As a Dane of course this video is so so nice. A lot of special places are shown here and it’s incredibly validating. I just highly ask of all tourists to orient yourself with the bike lanes. We are riding fast and there’s a lot of us. We can’t always see everyone while riding. Please don’t walk or stand on the bike lane. It’s dangerous.
Tivoli is the third oldest amusement park in the world. George Carstensen founded it in 1843 (not 1841). He was the first person being allowed to build outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. (Next time you visit, visit the Museum of Copenhagen ... Just to see how Copenhagen developed! ;) )
Oh, BTW ... The world's oldest amusement park is also Danish; Bakken. On your way to Helsingør, you actually kind of passed it. It's located at Klampenborg.
Christiansborg that stand NOW is actually the third Christiansborg ... It burned ... Twice ...
The site used to house Copenhagen Castle, which was the royal palace until the royal family moved to Amalienborg (Where they live today!) ... Just because it took some time rebuilding Christiansborg (Royals are kind of picky, right? ^^ ) ... Two times ...
Underneath Christiansborg you can visit the ruins of Copenhagen Castle. It's are little dark and spooky (Very nice for a Halloween visit!), but will give you the history of the castles.
I was at Tivoli right after Christmas, some years ago, 2006 I believe, and the Christmas markets opened for a couple of days between Christmas and New Years. They had a very unusual amount of snow (we landed in a blizzard) and we were there at night and it was so beautiful.
Tivoli is actually the second oldest
Wurstelprater in Austria is from 1766 ...
My niece lived in Copenhagen for a year while going to school. I visited her there and really loved it. Everything about it. I have had two very close Danish friends who immigrated to America and there are "issues" but not many. I also love Sweden and if I was younger and my finances were different I would be looking to go to either Denmark or Sweden just as fast as I possibly could.
Nobody wants to go to Sweden, not even the Swedes, they are pendling to Danmark each morning, in a vague hope they can stay. 😄
This was so relaxing to watch. Pretty scenery. Thank you!
Great information if we ever get there but looked like you all enjoyed it🙏🏻
I simply love Copenhagen and Denmark was indeed rated to be the happiest country in the world in the past; however, Finland has been rated as the happiest country in the world for the last 6 years in a row.
The yellow field is a canola field to make cooking oil.
i am glad you likes our country😊 next time you visit try going to Roskilde they have a really cool viking boat museum and the city is one of the oldest villages in Denmark. it´s only around 45 minutes from Copenhagen.
I am Danish moved to the state long ago. Was just home this past summer and wanted to cry and kick my own butt why why did I move from here. But at the end of my visit I was ready to co e back to the state. Hygiene is a word we use for everything.
next time you should go to lousiana museum of modern art, its probably the most beautiful museum ive ever been to, but you should go on a sunny day as a lot of it is outdoors
Awesome video, i love Copenhagen aswell, but i prefer to live in the country side and just travel back and forth. It's also very easy to take a train from Copenhagen to somewhere else in Denmark like Roskilde (Vikings), Odense(HC Andersen birthplace), Aarhus(Vikings, coasy and chill metropolis)
I’m a former au pair in Denmark and i miss that place. Jeg elsker Danmark 😍🤍 even though I’m not in Denmark anymore there’s a big impact in my life “hygge” 😌 they love organic products 🌿
The yellow fields you saw are rapeseed. It's used for rapeseed oil used for cooking just as grapeseed and sunflower oil. Sorry you didn't got to go near it. It has a beatyful scent when blooming. I live in the rural Denmark, and I love the smell of rapeseed flowers in May.
That's good to know! I hope to go and smell them one day:)
welcome to 🇩🇰 i hope you will love it 🤗❤️
Glad you liked our country and thanks for all your kind words. Denmark is so much more than just Copenhagen. We have many sights and places that are so cool.
Next time try a true local bakery for some real good danish bread and danishes. You Will love it.
Hope you and your family Will visit us Again
Thank you! Aww I love that. I hope to go back again.
I loved the Smorrebrod. Not spelled absolutely correctly, I don'' know how to make the addtitional diacritics. I know there is a debate in some circles about whether is it authentic or not, but I don't care,, it's delicious. There are a lot of places to have it at all kinds of prices.
My Danish friend used to prepare that every Christmas season and invite a bunch of us over to share the table. So good. Gotta have beer.
You actually managed to pronounce Nyhavn correctly. I am impressed.
I thought about the same thing 😂 I had to replay it, thinking.. what?? xD
Googled it right before, don't be too impressed ;)
The yellow flowers were most likeky rapeseed for food oil produktion. Thought it could also be the mustard plant
Im a dane here as well and i live in copenhagen. This video was so great, you made me want to visit all those places again, and i see them every day.
you really catch the atmosphere of Hygge in this video, super great. i hope you visit us again :)
The yellow fields are rape fields. Among other things, oil for frying food is made from the seeds of the flowers. I'm glad you had a good trip to our little country.
Most of our architecture is from the age of sails when we were doing slavery in the caribbean, earning a massive profit on sugar. The art you see in the Glyptotek is mostly stolen loot that belong to other nations.
wow you went to a lot of the coolest places in Copenhagen... I'm glad you liked our Capitol.. 😀👍
So good!
i believe that flower is called raps and it is used to make a type of oil used in cooking! very common in all of northern Europe!
Rapeseed in english, I think.
The yellow flower field (4:48) is canola.
So happy to hear you had such an amazing time, and that you want to do a long visit next, if not outright move here. You are very much welcome to choose either, and if you want any ideas for other cities to visit I would suggest Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense. They are all amazing big cities with much to see and do, and I think you would have an amazing time 😊
Thank you so much!!
@@createdforeden thank YOU for wanting to come back and see more of our country!
The yellow plants are canola plants, used to make vegetable oil/cooking oil
Wow I can’t believe how much you managed to squeeze in in only 5 days, I would be exhausted 😅
I grew up less than 100 m from Rosenborg slot and went to school across the street from the kings garden.
As a kid I often went to the botanical garden to feed the ducks from the little bridge and to go to the greenhouse. And of course I had to get up to the top and walk around. The botanical garden and everything in it was free back then.
I have always loved the round tower, it’s 400 years old and yet it feels so solid, like it will stand forever. It’s fascinating to study the old building techniques and to think about how it was built without the help of any machinery.
If you plan on coming back sometime I can recommend the channel travelin’young. It’s an American family that moved to Denmark and have been living here about 4 years now. When Covid hit making traveling impossible they started to drive around Denmark visiting museums, castles, cities and historically interesting places. I honestly think they know Denmark better than any Dane at this point 😂
Sounds like some amazing childhood memories. I love that. I will check out that channel! Thanks :)
Wow, loved this! Now I'm looking for authentic Denmark items!
Check out Robe Trotting and Travelin' Young. Both do excellent vidioes about their lives in Denmark
The yellow fields are Canola, intended for making oil.
And Danish King Christian the 4th did visit England, so that may be why playwright, William Shakespeare was asked/found out to write a play based on a Danish Myth about a Prince, named Amled. The original story is quite different though.
And the Maritime Museum was built in the outside of a former drydock, in the former Shipyard in Helsingør. It was designed by "famous" Danish Architect. Bjarke Ingels.
Bjarke Ingels has also designed an artificial "ski-hill" on top of a working Incinerator Plant, making heat for the area around it, as well as a building, for obvious reasons named: "The Figure 8"! He also has made an American Branch of his firm (B.I.G. Bjarke Ingels Group) building in the US, also as part of the former 9/11 area. One of his first works was an observation tower in a park in US, looking as a pin on a map!
1) "Nyhavn" -perfect pronunciation 2) the yellows are either mustard or canola fields... most often Canola. Yes, like the oil.... Mustard have more of a scent to it
Awesome work guys ❤
8:26 I have the original Jens Peter masterpeice on my wall ;) no livingroom is complete without it :)
The yellow plants on the field are Canola
the yellow plant is what mustard is made out of
i think finland is ranked number 1 currently and denmark number 2. but still.. the nordic countries have many similarities in that regard. copenhagen is like the capitol of scandinavia. people love it there. i live 30 min away. awesome city!
Its funny how you some times forget to "visit" your own city. I'm bord and raised and live all my live in the center of CPH, but its been years and years since i've been to Glyptoteket and many other places you visit in your video.
So now im making a list :) :)
Please do come back, and make lots of videos like this, so we, who live here, dont forget all the cool places we have :)
Thank you..
Great video come back in the summer! :)
Your voice is so pleasant to listen to! damn :D
Yeah, my city and hometown
Personally, I never understood that particular desire. If you want to make fun of foreigners’ inability to pronounce Danish words with highly unusual phonetic features, ask them to order two smoked trout (or _røgede ørreder_ in Danish) instead - much harder to say.
@@kokoshneta Oh yes, that is a hard one "To røgede ørreder"... I don't know why it's always the "Rødgrød med fløde"... I think it goes way back.
If you liked Rosenborg, you should really visit Hillerød slot. It is one of the most jawdropping thing we have :) write me if you need hint for next time👍
The yellow fields are either rape seed like the kind used for oil. In Danish "RAPS" In some cases the fields are mustard and it's really difficult to se but we have a lot of it in Denmark and it brighent your mood to pas by them.
The "yellow field" was a raps field, we have them all over the country :)
I’m so happy you all enjoyed my country 🇩🇰 you pronounce Danish words so perfect 😍 welcome back and remember to relax and have time to “hygge” 🙏 it is important to take your time… many greetings here from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you for a very nice video, I’m glad you all liked Denmark. If you want to know more about moving to Denmark you can watch rode trotting and travelling young, 2 American family’s that moved to Denmark about 5 years ago.
Ahh, "Rope Trotting", sorry 😊
@@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 😂😂😂😂😂
The yellow flowers was mustard canola, used to make mustard. But great video, hope you come back some day.
I thought so!
I don't think so. More likely rape, which is grown in abundance for rapeseed oil.
Pretty sure that was a rapeseed field.. Quite common all over Denmark..
@@deeb8733 to make oil :)
@@tjay84 true, but the americans usually call rapeseed "canola", so op isn't completely off.
HC Andersen never had his own home, but rented a room on top of a house in Nyhavn, while travelling round Denmark and Europe. Compared with the present values he became a billionaire in his lifetime, as a trusted family member took care of his paid for rights
The yellow flowers are canola/raps
Come and visit "Randers Regnskov" in Denmark. nice video of DK here.
i live in copenhagen (i was born here) you didn't get it as wrong as a lot people from other countries :) the flowers are Brassica napus they are the flowers you use make rapeseed oil and biofuel .... you should have experienced denmark in the past it used to be alot better i dont mind explaining that to you if you want me to and a thing thats different about me than most people who are commenting on here is a lived in the US to
I've lived in Copenhagen my whole life and I think you got to see more in five days, than I've seen my entire life 😂
Haha!!
I'm sure you felt hygge at that little coffee shop. If you were drinking coffee and chatting with your husband, while relaxing for a while in the middle of a busy day. We would defnitely say it was a hyggelig little cafe and that we hyggede while we were there. Or that it was a hyggelig little break. We could feel hygge in a more modern cafeteria but it would mean that the one(s) you were with would need to focus more on having a more intense togetherness, shutting out any other guests. The warm feeling of the cafe you found is definitely more conductive to having hygge.
Beautiful friend 🥀🌺💗💐
And I'm sorry to have to mention that "Hygge" actually is a Norwegian word, taken over by Danes!
The Yellow on the fields could be from Mustard/oil Vinegar that is planted on October & november to help bind nutrients so they don't get washed into the groundwater or waterways where they can cause problems.
Nyhavn actually used to be quite the scene back when H.C. Andersen lived. With "ladies of the night," drunken sailors from afar and rowdy inns. Now it is more family friendly though.
While Copenhagen is great, there is also MUCH more to Denmark. I encourage you to come visit again and perhaps plan a trip around the country. Go see Fyn and Jylland. See the nature that we have tried so painfully to preserve and maybe rent a "Summer house" on one of the island by the Vesterhav or North Jylland. You will discover a new kind of silence there I promise.
As for moving to Denmark, well it is not exactly easy. But if you can get a job here that can qualify you. More info here - www.nyidanmark.dk/en-GB/Applying
If you want to explore the concepts of living Danishly. Heere is an older recording of A British woman name Hele Russe who moved to Denmark with her husband and had a lot to say about it. - ua-cam.com/video/h1RXGltx4SI/v-deo.html She explores some of the reasons behind just why the Danes seem to be more well, Danish.
They are almost certainly rapeseed fields. Very common in Denmark.
I’m writing a book right now about an important character of Danish history and I really want to visit the country and get to know it, but boy... the only Dane i know is the complete opposite of the Danish ideal of community and family that you talk about!
Very sad, it sounds like you need to meet more Danes! 🇩🇰
We will love to see you in Denmark. You just need to have the right connection.
Wow you really crammed so much into your trip and video. I got winded from just watching. Anyway if you are coming back you should check out “traveling Young’s” channel for info and inspiration about Denmark
incredibly clean?? visited Nørreport?
Hi there! What time of year did you go?
May!
Next time you visit make sure to go to Ærø (an idyllic island south of the island of Funen) and Skagen in Nothern Jutland...maybe also visit Svanneke on Bornholm :-)....And Odense!
