Copenhagen in Reality: Does Copenhagen Look as Picturesque as on Instagram?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лис 2022
- Instagram is full of colorful pictures of Copenhagen. But what does the Danish capital really look like? We checked out three of the most popular spots - we went to see the old harbor Nyhavn, strolled around the 16th century Rosenberg Castle and had a blast at the famous Tivoli amusement park. What do you think: Is Copenhagen as beautiful as it looks on Instagram?

I visited Copenhagen this August and I would say that it’s even better than what’s you see in instagram.
I second you. Visited last year around same time!
I visited last week and yes, definitely better in real life!!!! A must-visit city! ❤
Can confirm
Copenhagen is a beautiful city, but what let it down was the general unfriendliness of the people, not everybody, but their seemed to be a reservedness and coldness that I didnt like, even Stockholm and Oslo had friendlier, more open people.
@@rjflores438 I wouldn’t say so I experienced very welcoming people and kind
I was born and raised in this city, i still love it every day i walk out my door , and walk these streets. ❤🇩🇰✊🏻
How lucky you are that God or nature put you there
Would you reccomend moving there?
@@dustincrum1 No.
@@NiklasHansen-pf3ry Danmark er meget bedre
Me too! Born in Copenhagen in 1998, and I still live here :)
I visited Copenhagen back in 2014 and I fell in love with it. The food, the people, the culture, the scenery…it was all a great experience for me. It is better than what you see on Instagram, in my opinion.
Pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the city in person! I'd totally go for a trip again 🤩
I’ve just uploaded a Copenhagen travel film if you need inspiration ! ✈️
Tivoli is magical. Nice decor during fall/halloween. Can only imagine the beauty during Christmas!!!
Some of its alright, but alas a lost culture..
Been there 20 times at least! Totally recommended! Danes are great when it comes to design 👌
If you're staying for at least 3 days and want to see as much as possible in a short time frame, I recommend the Copenhagen Card. It includes free entry to lots of tourist attractions, museums, including castle Rosenborg and Tivoli, and free public transportation in the greater Sjælland area.
I went to Copenhagen early summer, and I spontaneously took a day trip to Elsinore and saw castle Kronborg and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, which was on the way.
It was a blast! Hadn't have that much fun in years on a vacation. Beautiful city, good vibes, only second to my hometown Vienna!
Nice tip - the city cards can save you some money!
This capital is not only beautiful for tourists but one of the best for living in
Copenhagen isnt the friendliest city though.
@@rjflores438 We're just very private people, danes in general are. But ive not once spoken to someone i dont know without them comming off as ''not friendly''
@@jackmeoff454The problem if you're a foreigner is getting a Dane to talk to you in more than just a superficial way. If you look at expat surveys of the most welcoming countries, Denmark ranks alongside Saudi Arabia!
Copenhagen is absolutely gorgeous in summer
Would have to agree - it really shines.
As a Filipino I only know Denmark because of Michael Learns to Rock and Danish Butter Cookies. I never thought the capital as these awesome and beautiful my goodness.
I found Copenhagen amazing, really worth a visit.
Did you really make a video basically called “does Copenhagen look like the pictures you see of it?” ….just as an obvious excuse to get a company paid trip to Copenhagen?
I wish I could convince my boss to give me a company paid trip to Copenhagen just to confirm that it looks like the pictures….best job ever!
I’m from Lebanon 🇱🇧 and i have absolutely no idea why i have fallen in love with Copenhagen and Denmark… i wish someday i’ll be able to visit it.
I lived in Copenhagen and can confidently say that I almost never spent any time in Nyhavn, if I was ever downtown I would be going to Christiania or near Tivoli. Or having a picnic in Assistenskirkegård.
Visited Denmark in 2015 and rented a place in Copenhagen for 3 weeks. Loved the city and I can't wait to visit again (or even better, move there).
I’ve just uploaded a Copenhagen travel film if you need more inspiration ! ✈️
I was in Copenhagen in February and it is even more beautiful in reality. Lovely, laid-back people and the Opera House is amazing. I saw the best La Boheme that I have ever seen and the audience had a very friendly vibe. I can't wait to return to Copenhagen.
Great to know - it does look beautiful.
Waiting for 4K HDR uploads from DW especially in these kinds of Travel contents 🤞🏻
@Jose Matthew Unfortunately not planned at the moment, meanwhile make sure you have the 1080 p version selected!
@@DWTravel Full HD can't make justis to these scenic viauals.. Hope to see some upgrades(4K) for DW Travel and Euromaxx.
I like the description: "the old harbor Nyhavn", where Nyhavn literally means new harbour! Still, it is old by now, so it is not wrong. A bit like the English "New Forest" I guess - which was first named so in 1086. Neither people seem inclined to suddenly change names... 🙂
4:25 One thing to note is that the 20 euro ticket to get into Tivoli doesn’t mean free rides. This requires an armband per person, which probably costs 3 times as much on top of the 20 euros. Or you can buy a number of tickets, maybe in sets of 20, if you don’t think you need the armband… The food, drink and candy inside Tivoli is also very expensive.
UA-cam videos (most of them) is a relatively reliable source if you want to know how it looks like in real life, for those who cannot afford to visit.
But you still didn't answer the question. Are they really picturesque as they show on instagram? 😐
Seems to be a yes
I have visited Copenhagen and I would say that those places are even more picturesque than in instagram
@@alboy730 Amazing 😯
They literally say in the end that “these 3 spots in Copenhagen lived up to everything those Instagram photos promised”
They did answer the question; yes it is as picturesque as it’s made out to be…….just do what they did…..convince your boss to give you a paid trip to Copenhagen just to confirm that it actually looks like it does in the pictures 👍😜
Just came from Copenhagen... Was a bit underwhelmed. Probably because it was gray and drizzling.
Probably summer would be better...
Yeah the weather in Denmark in general can be very depressing and the weather changes constantly too…..I recommend visiting Denmark in mid to late summer, that’s usually when the weather is best and most reliable……however regardless of the time of the year, it’s not uncommon for the weather to change like 5 times a day here
Yeah fall is definitely a bit of a downtime for the city. If you wanna visit somewhere during the fall, try going for Munichs Octoberfest, that seems to be the place it's at during this time of year.
But yeah as a local I reccomend visiting Copenhagen either during the summer or during December when the city is decked out for Christmas.
Hm...I once lived in this city.....quiet as a grave on Sundays...
I'm sure the places tourists are allowed to see, may look ok..
Take a 20 minute walk away from these spots and, you'll see dump's as everywhere else.
I'm so lucky that I'm living in southern most part of Sweden so I can basically visit Copenhagen whenever I want...which is far more interesting than where I live😂
I visited back in 2017. It’s a beautiful city! The only thing I couldn’t stand was the cold weather which I’m not used to.
Yeah, visiting Denmark in general should be done in the mid to late summer……for the rest of the year the weather sucks and is extremely unpredictable, so it’s almost impossible to dress right without having a good jacket and shoes
@@socialghost4400 I actually am glad to visit right before Christmas so I gotta experience European Christmas market, and the few days I was there the weather was generally good (not even snowing). But I live in LA so the winter I’m used to is nowhere near the winter in that part of the world lol!
The people are a little bit cold as well.
Just like all northen european city, Copenhagen looks picturesque in summer time. It is very glommy in winter. I live in Copenhagen
@batosato You'll certainly have Christmas Lights to make it more *hyggelig* soon... ✨
Is...ok!
I want to go!
I am sure you are not alone…….just ask any Russian 😂
I’ve just uploaded a Copenhagen travel film if you need inspiration ! ✈️
Yes, I think people forget that instagram is a place to post beautiful photos, and that is an art in and of itself. It won't always be reality, but one should be able to enjoy and grasp both sides.
It's my town now 😁
It looks a wonderful place to live.
@@GreatCityAttractions besides high living cost, everything is good 😊
Yes - i've heard it's an expensive place to live and visit @@moredenmark
Nothing better than seeing it by your eyes, except massive tourists
Agree - in person the only way to go.
Came here last October. From someone who's from a 3rd world country, Copenhagen is probably the nicest place I've ever visited, but it costs so effin much 😅
It does look amazing
No body believes in Instagram. Faking command. No but I m not because your pictures are really good. Looking so handsome. Because you know how to confident in camera. I learn from you. Childhood. Children are always innocent. So I love my son 💙❤. Take positively 😉
One of the most beautiful cities in Europe, for sure. Living in it is utopical. The city shines being multicultural, inclusive, safe and rich. Completely the opposite what the repugnant conservatives in America try to defend in their big cities.
I’ve been there and it’s not as beautiful as it looks I kinda regretted it
1.4 mio lives inside the city limits
smørbrød literally just means sandwich lmao
Actually it means buttered bread.
@@jackmeoff454 I didn’t mean it literally meant sandwich. But sandwich is what the proper translation would be not ‘butterbread’
@@hilmarnicolay7234 No it’s not. Cause the litteral translation is buttered bread
Which is What it is. Cause it isnt a sandwich. Nor an openfaced sandwich. It’s never been a sandwich
@@jackmeoff454 It's a sandwich. Source: I'm Norwegian and Danish
@@hilmarnicolay7234 source I’m danish. It’s not a sandwich.
The human eye is what really matters!
"Weird History" narrator?
Instagram is the worst thing to ever happen to tourism. Patiently awaiting the day it falls from popularity.
My experience of Denmark was frustrating.The place looks magical but the Danes were reserved and cold .
Maybe that has something to do with the weather or living in a post- Viking, socialist culture ?
Denmark is NOT a socialist country.
@@backyardheritage6504 The goverment is left, not fully socialist but they follow socialist values.
@@hamza9540 yes they do follow some socialist values, but from an economic perspective it is a capitalist country.
You may not be aware Dave, but every western country in the world utilize a certain amount of socialist principles. The American military is financed by taxes. What do you call that? Well, socialism.
What defines whether a nation is socialist rule is the financial system. No nation, where the majority of the production sector is privately owned can be defined as having socialist rule. What Americans think is socialism is actually just whether a nation have chosen to include education and healthcare into being financed in the same manner as the military, through taxes. The difference between USA and Europe in that sense is like night and day. Europeans are being taught facts of history. In USA, people are mostly only being taught lies and things that make USA look great. Many Americans believe other western nations are socialist nations or have socialist culture. There must be something seriously wrong with the Americans system of education, because that belief is laughable when most Americans have no clue about what defines a socialist governance.
Yes, Danes are reserved but that is the culture in Scandinavia. Scandinavians don't spend their energy being false and pretend. If they like you, you will know. If they don't like you, you will definitely know too.
@@hamza9540
ALL western nations follow socialist principles. All westerns nations finance parts of their systems via taxes but that does not make any of them socialistic. What defines whether a nation has socialist governance or not is how the financial system is structured. In a socialistic state, the entire production apparatus is controlled by the government. In no western nation is that the case. The difference is only how many services the various western nations have chosen to include in the government controlled segment. In USA, the healthcare and education systems are mostly privately financed while in Northern Europe, healthcare and education is financed via taxes. The principle is actually very simple.
In the Northern European culture, there is a strong belief that any citizen shall have access to free healthcare no matter income, social status etc. It is also a strong belief that all citizens shall have access to free education no matter income, social status etc. The only thing that determines whether you will get direct access to free higher education is your grade levels. A natural genius can be found anywhere. To think special minds only spring out from wealth is ridiculous, hence the need for free education.
Copenhagen is more beautiful than the whole of Germany.
You've never been to Germany obviously, Germany is the most beautiful country in Europe, even one German City can be more beautiful than the whole Denmark , or The Netherlands, but you're from India or Pakistan 🤮
Expensive and quite ugly if you ask me
Show the little disappointment next time
filters
Way overrated
Fake city
That was not even remotely objective.
Such a sanitized view of Copenhagen does a disservice to DW’s reputation
lots of gays in Copengahen
Copenhagen is bigger and better than Nyhavn, just have a wander around and get lost
It does look a fascinating place to explore.
Copenhagen is a huge money pit where you can dump your money big way! Sorry for the not so aligned with the narrative opinion :( but I must say the institution's and social media lobby for tourism in Denmark, especially in Copenhagen is doing a great job.I never saw a bigger discrepancy between truth and fiction.I must say before I move here last year I thought Copenhagen is the best place on earth now I can wait to get out of here.Danish people are masters in hiding the dreck under the carpet,once a Greenlander told me,and he was right,never saw so many police sirens and drugs addicts in my life, behind those beautiful restaurants is hidden 12 hours if underpaid labor in awful conditions, working hygiene basically does not exist ,I never experienced such racism in my life,as an European,and I lived 12 years in Germany,for me a perfect tourism location is where you can visit nature beauties,and local culture, Denmark doesn't have any of this, everything here is borrowed, especially from the states,a good tourist location is where I don't have to dump 200,300 euros a day in order to have a unique experience!
Atleast if you're in the mood for trashtalking speak factually. not made up lies.
@@jackmeoff454 in much beloved Nyhavn ,the waiters have a 20000kr /day target,if they not succeed they risk being fired, couple a weeks ago on Norrebrogade ,at the barbershop beneath where I live a guy cut another's guy throat,I also work for Wolt ,5 days ago I witnessed a shooting on Ama strandvej , around 21,22 hours,in Vita where I worked you had 10,12 hours shift without break ,where you're forced to serve drunk customers that throw up at their tables at seven o clock PM ,they take the small potatoes that they serve with the danish traditional meal and if the customers don't finish eating,they resell it,they don't have even a first aid kit,the old , good looking buildings are only good looking on the outside,on the inside they are falling apart,but they demand 1500 euros for 50 sqm,the food shops are dirty,I once witnessed people sniffing cocaine on Krystalgade at night,I travel daily with the metro from KongensNytorv , almost every evening I see girls peeing next to 7/11,if you're one of the corporate work from home guys or one of those 19 years old students that show up drunk at 6 pm in a restaurant to eat on dad's money I understand your butthurt, otherwise don't need to lecture me about trash talk or facts, your world is a fantasy.Cheers!
dw travel is lame
