Norwegian here living in Oslo. Copenhagen is by far the best city in Scandinavia. I lived there for 2 years and i loved it. I think it might be one of the best cities in the world. Beautiful, not to big nor small, liberal, safe, clean, fun easy to navigate, good wellfare for sll citizens, great food, beers and compared to the rest of Scandinavia and aspecially Norway, it is not a Nanny state..
It's a great city with lots to do. But it's definitely not "by far the best city in Scandinavia". It's definitely up there. Either tied with Stockholm or just a little bit better in some aspects. But it's definitely not better by far. At least definitely not compared to Stockholm. Compared to Oslo? Probably.
@@Bazze03None of what you just said made any sense. It’s all due to personal preference and cultural bias. In terms of architecture, sure. But overall most cities in Scandinavia and even the Nordics tics all these boxes. You say It’s not the best, better than Stockholm yet no. So in your opinions what makes a Scandinavian city THE BEST?!
About Børsen, they were able to save almost half of the building. That part do have some water and smoke damage, but is otherwise intact. The plan is to rebuild not replace with something new. Happy that my home city left you with a good impression.
I actually think churches are underrated by tourists. I usually use them as a place to rest my feet and get some peace and quiet for a while, which is extra nice when you, as a tourist, are on your feet all day. Sit down for 10-15 minutes and you will have recharged your batteries a bit. You don't have to be a believer to appreciate the tranquility of a church.
@@HannahJ It is a Masterpiece made by Architect: Ove Jensen Klint. I think he also made a minor version in the small town of Gedser. It became finished by his son, also famous for furniture, Kaare Klint.
Was born and raised in Copenhagen. I'm 42, but in my younger years I wanted to leave so badly. It felt way to cramped and boring. After I tried the whole living abroad thing for a couple of years, I moved back to Copenhagen and I fell in love with my city and my country again. And I loving seeing videos like yours too remind me of how incredibly lucky I am that I get to live here my whole life and even being able to take beauty, security and education for granted. I love my city. ❤❤

@@znarkz In total 7.2% of ALL danish citizens were prescribed SSRIs in the year of covid shutdowns, 2020 - Compared to the US - During the years 2015 to 2018, 13.5% of ALL americans were prescribed SSRI's .... It's a great soundbyte, but the fact is that danes are only half as depressed as americans in total.
@@znarkz that is not true the number is 9% and that number is the amount of people who used anti depression medicin at least once, so it might be they only used it for a short while, you sound like an American with bias who heard a myth on the internet, when you see statistic about use of anti-depression medicine use in a country, you should be aware that in some countries anything the doctor perscribe against anti-depression is listed as anti-depression medicine even if it is vitamin D or B12 , as you may know people living in the North tend to get depressed in winter due to the lack of sun/ vit. D, and people who cant absorb pills get injections of vit. B12 and D, look instead on the list of suicides Denmark is at no 107 , even though you often hear people on the internet claim that we have the higest no. of suicide it's simply myths one person says it at people just repeat the lie over and over, if people were so depressed and half were on medicine the number of suicide would be in the top 10 or at no 1
All the bikes you pointed at were locked, I think you're just unfamiliar with the style of locks! 😉It's like a frame-fixed lock with a small rod that locks in place
This used to be THE bike lock in Finland as well but nowadays bicycle theft has exploded so you need a beefy U-lock if you don't want to donate your beloved bike to a junkie.
@@Tiax776not true, most bike theft is done by organized gangs coming from eastern Europe, they fill a truck with stolen bikes and go back to Romania or wherever.
@@stevenoest I meant white people going extinct. Because Scandinavia is quickly becoming minority-white, and then it will be a hell-hole, no different than any third world country. It is our race that makes these countries great.
And make no mistake. Even though they look like funny toy soldiers with cute bear hats, those are elite forces with lethal weapons. Don't poke the bear hats... ;)
@@earthorbiter They're not an elite unit. These are just conscripts in a guard unit. Livgarden hasn't been an elite unit, since the loss at the Battle of Dybbøl in 1864.
The Royal Life Guard in Denmark has a long history as an elite unit in the Danish military and has not surrendered in combat. The Life Guard was established in 1658 by Frederik III, and its primary duties are to protect the royal family and perform ceremonial duties such as guarding Amalienborg Palace. The Life Guard also plays a combat-ready role in the Danish military, but it has not been involved in direct combat actions that would require surrender in recent times. Here's a short resume from Dybbøl in 1864 "When the vigorous fire was raging, the Life Guards in section column began to debouch from Sønderborg and advance on the northern pontoon bridge. The ranks were tightly closed, the march steady and in regular cadence, rifles at rest, sharply dressed, all just as on the drill ground. Four officers marched ahead of the column: the commander, Major Krieger; the adjutant, First Lieutenant Tobiesen; Captain Nægler, if I remember correctly; and a fourth officer, presumably the leader of the company's front platoon. Grenades whipped down into the water on both sides of the bridge, but the Life Guards continued their steady march. When the column's head had reached approximately two-thirds of the length of the bridge, the battalion was ordered to retreat; the artillery noise was so strong that I, standing near the western end of the bridge, could not hear any command. But suddenly I saw the rifles sharply shouldered, as was required at the time before turning around, and the column, almost simultaneously in its entire depth as far as it had gone out on the bridge, turned and just as calmly as it had advanced, marched back into Sønderborg. It was a proud sight to see the beautiful unit advancing and retreating amid the intense grenade fire, as if it were on the parade ground. How beautiful would such a unit's advance have been if it had been called earlier and had the opportunity to take part in the 8th Brigade's advance." By other words, once again, Denmark owes its sovereignty to the Danish Royal Guard. I hope that you in the future, will start traveling with known truths, instead of harmful lies like this in the future. Sincere greetings Royal Guard, M.S. Nielsen
you might have noticed the references to the Danes rescuing most of the Jews in Copenhagen and smuggling them to safety in Sweden. An amazing accomplishment of the Danish resistance.
Dane here. 1) Amazing to save those lives, but 2) those fishermen took "risk-payment" in full from the people, that they ferried across. History is grey.
Dont forget the actions of the King. He paid for most of that, and his constant vigilance in the face of the nazis and hitler. Try to imagine any politician who would dare do something like that, it simply would never happen. Read up on Hans Kongelige Højhed Christian d. 10 if interested.
In Denmark we chose to collaborate with the Germans in the first years of the war. Other countries such as the Netherlands had an active resistance movement much earlier than we did. I am happy the Danish Jews that were saved, but we shouldn't be bragging :-)
@@dimajo3057 also when the nazi told him to stay in his castle he was like fuck that im riding my horse throu town EVERDAY just to piss them of and to support the resistance
@@anotherelvis We did not collaborate, we were allowed to act with our own government and not be influenced by the nazis. It is utterly foolish to have taken the fight with the nazis given our location and the sudden attack. It would have destroyed us for no purpose. We gave a moral opposition with the king never giving in, and never giving them the respect hitler wanted, and daily riding through town on his horse saluting any danish he met. The disrespect at some point led Hitler to be so offended he did become more strict on Denmark. The danes did the right thing, didnt give in, didnt assist, and then worked actively against the nazis with intelligence to the british and sabotage within. I am crazy grateful to that decision because it means my country and people werent decimated for some silly superficial standoff. And we should ABSOLUTELY brag that we saved 95%+ jews and saved the danish people and cities.
Dane here. Born and raised in Copenhagen. You guys are SO funny! I laughed out loud many times during this entertaining and very personal review. Well done, guys! Also great job on the editing. I'm so happy to see what a great time you had here! If you ever come back during the summer time, I'll be happy to take you on a free, private tour around the canals in our boat to see the city from "the water side". ☀❤
@@tommyhansen2116 Yeah, they missed out by not having a piece with herring and a snaps on the side. Also because it would be funny for the viewers - it has a really strong flavor that takes most by surprise.
As a Copenhagener, I can inform you that all bikes are infact locked :D If you don’t lock your bike, you can be almost a 100% sure it will be stolen. I read somewhere that bikes are the most frequently stolen item in Copenhagen..
As a Swede from Malmö I wholeheartedly agree that Copenhagen is the best city in the Nordics. I always end up feeling slightly underwhelmed and disappointed whenever I visit Stockholm.
@@adam-7147 Yeah I've spent a good bit of time in Stockholm. The scenery around the water is indeed beautiful but that's not all it takes to make a good city.
@@Yoyoarab123 Hope you liked it. I think Malmö is a great place to live and the poor reputation it has is not at all deserved. I think the city is around 50% immigrants, and 15-20% muslim/middle-eastern.
[ 25:08 ] - Smørrebrød is an open-faced sandwich. "Smør" means butter and "brød" means bread, so the name describes the "foundation" of the sandwich, which is buttered (rye) bread.
And to add the connection to the Swedish word smörgåsbord: Smørrebrød and smörgås have the same meaning - open-faced sandwich with butter and various toppings. Smörgås literally means "butter-goose" and it allegedly originates from the little clumps of butter that would float to the top during the churning process looking like geese, and people would fish those out and put them on bread. So smörgåsbord = butter-goose table/buffet.
Same meaning in Finland. Called voileipä, voi=butter, leipä=bread. It's open sandwich with toppings: butter, cheese, cold cuts, smoked salmon, gravlax, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, prawns and so on. We also make voileipäkakku=butter bread cake that is like a layer cake but with bread with savory fillings. Yummy!
It's cool to see what Denmark is like, my great-grandfather was a Dane from Viborg but I never had the experience of going there, it's cool to see through this video how people live their lives
I'm flattered by your words, for some reason that I can't explain, I always thought that the Danes wouldn't like me or something like that, I'm even more encouraged to come visit you, a hug to everyone
I like how you both approached all the landmarks and attractions with good background knowledge. Pretty much all your information was correct which is rare to hear 😅
So happy to see you guys enjoying Copenhagen! I am happy to be Danish and living in Copenhagen. it is a great city with so much to do and see, yes Denmark is expensive but also quite decent in quality. Hope you will be back again.
9:15 You probaly know this, but its not just a show. Those are the danish royal guards. And while it is a tourist attraction, the guns are not for show. They're loaded and they're trained to use them. Its possible to do as your tour for the draft. 4 months "green" training and 4 months guarding the monarch and special sites. Every day, theres a changing of the guard on Amalienborg, about 12:00. The "parade" starts from Gothersgade 11:28, where the barracks are located. The guys walking are the "Fourth Company", shown by their yellow ribbons on the sables. They're the shortest of the guards, with "red ribbons" being the tallest.
As a kid I had the dream of moving to Denmark. Sure, I didn't know much about the country, but everything I heard about it was good enough to foster that dream. Now I've moved on from that goal, but still I keep some fondness for the country and still hope to visit it one day (and learn the language).
@@gjermand so I've heard, but it seems to be a rewarding one (especially if you're a fan of literature), thus I believe it'll be worth the effort - though I can see myself struggling with the pronunciation 😅
You guys are so cute. A hotdog with everything on top like a champ :D I think you did a very good job showing off Copenhagen and some traditional Danish foods and architecture. Too bad you didn't get to see Børsen as it was an incredibly beautiful building. Actually, on that note, right across the street from the burned down building you got the Danish Parlament, Christiansborg ("Christian's Castle") from where the newly crowned King of Denmark was proclaimed King Frederik the 10th just a few months ago. When I lived in Copenhagen I used to bike everywhere all the time but actually the public transportation in the city is great with many different options depending on where you're headed. Last thing I want to add, when you go downtown and the weather is nice, it's just the best. You can walk across the bridge to the island Amager and hang out by the water or in one of the many parks in the city, so many good places to go. But every dane knows what the prices are like downtown. I wouldn't call them tourist traps as such but you definitely pay a premium for everything in the city center. Thanks for the lovely video.
21:15 Medisterpølse, medisterkorv or simply medister is a Scandinavian specialty food consisting of a thick, spiced sausage made of minced pork and suet (or lard), stuffed into a casing. The word medister is derived from a combination of med and ister, respectively meaning 'meat' and 'suet'. It was first used in print in a Swedish housekeeping book from the early 16th century.
They went to a take-away place. Workers drop by to pick up their daily lunch. It has to be affordable or they wouldn't sell much. The restaurants that serve it has much higher prices.
As if workers in Copenhagen do not make quite a good living and cannot afford higher prices. I live in the outskirts of the 2nd largest city of Denmark and earn around $255 to $360 a day, depending on the hours and day of the week, and my present part-time job as a night watch with no degree required (though I do have one) is nothing fancy. Spending 100 kr. (or around $14) on lunch do not matter at all.
@@agffans5725 I think there is a difference between cannot afford or not willing to spend! Most people would not spend a 100kr for everyday lunch. That is why, they either bring food from home. Besides, I wouldn't go to a restaurant to eat in my bricklayer/carpenter overalls (as written on the van).
You guys are soo nice and really well informed. You were really respectful and openminded. Just got me in such a good mood and psyched for the summer coming in Copenhagen. Thank you and have a wonderful trip. 🙂
4:08 Tivoli Gardens is actually the worlds 3rd oldest amusement park, and is one of the most visited parks in Europa. The oldest is also a Danish park called "Dyrehavsbakken" or also know as Bakken ( The Hill), entre is free to the park and each ride cost money. That is also unusual here, as you normally pay a entre price and then the rides are free. It is almost 450 years old, so it beats the age of most countries in the world.
@@Fetguf Yes, and it was built for the Baltic Exposition in Malmo, which closed because of the WW1. The coaster was moved to CPH in the 1920s. 1929 I think.
23:41 North american cities used to look somewhat like this, but would end up getting torn down to make space for streets & parking lots. Good but sad example would be NYC.
Nice video. The marching soldiers are the Royal Guard which change everyday at 12.00 at the Royal Palace Amalienborg. Go see it. The church next to Round Tower is where I was baptized.
Nice. You caught the Queen's Guard (now the King's Guard) marching through Strøget. And btw. The bikes are most certainly locked. You were maybe expecting chain locks, but most bikes are locked with a discreet but very durable fork lock at the top of the back wheel, under the saddle.
It was my favorite building in the area seeing that Børsen has burnt down is an absolute tragedy. We have lost a piece of history that it will be impossible to get back.
Copenhagen Central station is the largest and one of the oldest train stations that exists in Denmark. That church you were looking at from the round tower by the way. I was up on the tower, and there was absolutely almost no safety when standing outside. That was horrifying.
Copenhagen=5🌟 Stockholm=4🌟 Reykjavik=3🌟 Oslo=2🌟 Helsinki=1🌟 Great video, I have visited all Capitols and when considered everything about them I truly believe that there is a clear winner in Copenhagen.
I think it's a fair rating, though I think its worth noting that Helsinki is still great, it's just not quite the crazy excellence of especially Copenhagen, Stockholm and Reykjavik. All the Nordic capitals are great experiences, but Copenhagen just manage to be special somehow even among top performers.
Almost agree, I´d like to put Copenhagen as no1 as I like the Danish mentality and philosophy on life more, but as a city I think Stockholm has much more to offer than Copenhagen.
8:30 That's a "tall snail" (høj snegl) and not a "Spandauer" 😀A spandauer is more flat, made with hazelnuts and has a dollop of "cake cream" or jam in the middle.
Great video, I returned from Copenhagen yesterday, and so was watching some UA-cam stuff on copenhagen to see what other other people thought, and I stumbled on yours, its excellent, its fun, interesting and much more. You stayed in same hotel as me! My comments in my journal were, 'Copenhagen blew my mind' just as you have, I love Danish people and their lifestyle, I felt very comfortable. Great Video
25:33 that's (most likely) not mustard, but remoulade! It's a condiment based on mayonnaise with pickled cucumber, capers, tumeric and other things added.
Copenhagen central station has has a high ceiling because it’s built for steam locomotives. And btw there isn’t mayonnaise in the hot dog, it’s remoulade - which is mayonnaise with finely chopped pickles
Thanks for the upload. Last time I went to another country I went to Copenhagen, it was a wonderful and a bit peculiar, don’t know how to describe it, experience. Love from Sweden
@@nicolehafner8616 Ja, om man jämför med os dansker, som ju stort sett inte orkar sjunga alls och inte har så många öppna vokaler, som ni har i svenskan, men bara pratar "flatt" - gärna utan att öppna munden mera än absolut nödvändigt 😂
9:31 Those are the Danish Royal Guard They are marching from Rosenborg Castle to Amalienborg Palace where the Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place. Which happens daily with the guard leaving Rosenborg Castle at 11:30am to arrive at Amalienborg Palace for the ceremony at 12:00am.
@@tanjaliljeqvist143 you are unfortunately wrong, in fact Tivoli in Copenhagen has always been considered the first. because of dyrehavsbakken that we in Denmark see as the first was not really an amusement park at the beginning but more a place where clowns and gypsies came and made some fun... but I am well aware that Germany would like to take all the credit for what Denmark invents. It's like the hamburger, people think it also comes from Hamburg, even though it was a Dane who lived in the USA who invented it..
@@Thjaaa You are sadly wrong yourself.. Bakken is considered the oldest amusement park, followed by Wurstelprater, Austria and then Tivoli. so even if bakken isn't the first then Tivoli is still isn't first. As for Hamburger, sure there is some credibility that Louis Lassen was one of it's possible inventors - it's hard to take credits since it was really just an adaptation of northern european sandwhiches. He is however recognized as the inventor by the US library of congress, but has been disputed so many times. besides, Germans never took claim of inventing the burger in most instances.
@@crezgaming9614 when I Google the first theme park in the world..... What is the oldest amusement park in the world? In Dyrehaven, in the middle of the green beech forest, lies Bakken, the world's oldest amusement park. Since Kirsten Piil discovered the healing spring more than 440 years ago, Bakken has attracted millions of summer-happy guests from near and far - inland and abroad.
I came here to relive my trip there last weekend and realized when you showed the fire we were there at the same time! Lovely city, hope to return and visit some of the spots I evidently missed ❤
Hi guys, what a nice video of Copenhagen. Especially I admire that you clearly had done some very good 'research' before you came here, and you were very well prepared to experience a lot of nice and significant stuff. Yes, Copenhagen is a very nice city and I am lucky to live here. A few comments: 08:50 the Danish is a chocolate spandauer. A bit later: 'the military parade' is The Royal Life Guard marching to the Kings Palace to shift the guard. Smørrebrød: yes, it must be resten with fork and knife. You can find smaller versions that can be eaten by hand, but they are hard to find in the center of Cph. By the way: always eat the fish first. Impressive what you managed to see in a short time. If you come another time, you should visit the neighbourhoods next to the Inner City. Especially Nørrebro and Vesterbro. You will find a lot more of Copenhagen there. Really enjoyed your video. Come back another time 👍🙏
@@Tiax776 yes but mainly for Americans for some reason they think the LITTLE mermaid is a BIG mermaid like the statue of liberty😂its not a statue that Danes travel to see, its more all the things she has been through that is interesting, people stealing her head ect. and the fact that it's a symbol of Hans Christian Andersen, however the route to see the Mermaid is great because it takes people to Amalienborg, castle, Frederiks church, kastellet (the Citadel) the English church, the Gefion fountain and Copenhagen harbor , so unless people arrive in a bus just to see the mermaid it is a great trip
9:50 - The reason behind the long slope in rundetårn is that back in the day the king that had it built (Christian IV) could be driven up to the top via a horse carriage.
talking about amusement parks, the oldest in the world is actually located about 30 minutes north of Copenhagen. It's called Bakken (The hill) and was opened in 1583. pretty cool place located in a forest. has the oldest roller coaster as far as im aware aswell.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Copenhagen :) I've lived here for nearly 20 years, and I love it. If you are ever here again, I highly recommend walking through Frederiksberg Gardens - the right time of year you can see the elephants at the zoo. Bike theft is the #1 crime here, haha, seriously. My husband (Danish) had FOUR bikes stolen, despite locking them up, in 8 months!
About Central Station, why the roof is so high: Back in the days (last millemium) the trains were steam trains, and if the roof had been lower you would have been suddorcating in the smoke from the smokestacks. I can't remember how many times I and my friends stood on the bridge at Dybbølsbro when the steam trains left Central Station and mom was always angry, our clothes was gray and black from the exhaust of the trains The center where you say they have bike garage is called Fisketorvet (it does NOT have a fishing shop there) when I was 16, I worked on a small fishing trawler, and right where Fisketorvet are today, there were 2 fishing auctions At 13:08 you are on the street called Gammel Mønt and is from around 1728, the scaffold you see there are from the company I worked at until 1 januar this year (I have build it with my partner
The tallness of the roofs in train stations is a legacy of the steam locomotives, when a low roof would have caused the entire platform level to be completely engulfed in fog ~ hence, the tall roofs so the steam can collect and dissipate well above the heads of the passengers... however, since we've all gotten used to the cathedral like architecture of train stations, which lets in light and just looks awesome, that building style has then been continued long after the last steam locomotive rolled out of there... 😉👍
@@danilo6680 I dont know what you mean with biggest tourist scam, as a local I like shopping at torve hallerne the food quallity is very high so you get what you pay for
The "Spandauer" is actually the name of another pastry, the one you got is actually called af "Bund snegl" which is af cinnamon bun baked in a small round circle Time in video: 8:35
It was not the Kings Castle but Rosenborg Castle located in Kings Garden. Its where the crown jewels are stored. The kings residence is Amalienborg Castle 1 km further east.
If you're still in Denmark, you can also visit a Japanese cultural event tmrw here in Copenhagen called Sakura Festival over at Langelinie Park, which starts at 11am tomorrow. It is celebrated at this time every year. I also recommend that you try out Shawarma Grill House in Copenhagen.
Sounds pretty arabic! There was a turkish restaurant in Hamburg Germany that was frequented by some rowdy german drunks who deliberatly crashed right into the guests tables so they tilted & the food splashed all over the place!
Det runde Tårn (the Round tower), when it was first built, it actually was stairs all the way from the bottom to the top. However, the story goes, that one of the kings couldn't be bothered to walk up all thoose stairs. So he had it altered, so he could use a horsedrawn carriage as far as possible (until you get to the very narrow staircase at the top).
Nice trip you guys had to Denmark. And the King life guard was marching by. So sad thatbthe building Børsen burned Down. Tragic. I hope you come back another time. Maybe at summertime.
Hey dane here, btw the only reason why you all think it is so expensive in Denmark is because you are in Copenhagen, if you would just go to Jylland as it is called, then everything is so much cheaper✌🏻
There's a different reason though. They're comparing to other countries, who doesn't have the social structure and sizeable paychecks. If you live here, earn your danish living and pay your danish taxes, it's actually comparable to everywhere else on a one to one basis.
Great video. Do come back to Denmark some other time. We´ve got plenty to offer. Legoland, Lego House, city of Aarhus, western coastline, fairytale islands in the south, oceans meeting in the north and maybe a walk in the wandering dune.
Glad you liked your stay here! About Christian 4th.. Rosenborg Slot (The King's Palace) was not the only thing in the video built by King Christian 4th. The two very iconic buildings Rundetårn (The Round Tower) and Børsen (the stock exchange that burner) that you saw earlier were also "built by him".
Tivoli of course. 2019 25.12 and amazing fireworks! Beautiful lights. National Aquarium was also great. Rundetårn in the city center👍 A good destination
You're actually on to something in regards to rent influencing the prices. Rent is very high and grows at a fixed rate. Prices are heavily influenced by this. Copenhagen businesses has sort of a bad reputation due to pricing of goods and services but there's really no choice. Cool video!

I actually think churches are underrated by tourists. I usually use them as a place to rest my feet and get some peace and quiet for a while, which is extra nice when you, as a tourist, are on your feet all day. Sit down for 10-15 minutes and you will have recharged your batteries a bit. You don't have to be a believer to appreciate the tranquility of a church.

@@znarkz that is not true the number is 9% and that number is the amount of people who used anti depression medicin at least once, so it might be they only used it for a short while, you sound like an American with bias who heard a myth on the internet, when you see statistic about use of anti-depression medicine use in a country, you should be aware that in some countries anything the doctor perscribe against anti-depression is listed as anti-depression medicine even if it is vitamin D or B12 , as you may know people living in the North tend to get depressed in winter due to the lack of sun/ vit. D, and people who cant absorb pills get injections of vit. B12 and D, look instead on the list of suicides Denmark is at no 107 , even though you often hear people on the internet claim that we have the higest no. of suicide it's simply myths one person says it at people just repeat the lie over and over, if people were so depressed and half were on medicine the number of suicide would be in the top 10 or at no 1
As a child I always went to Copenhagen, I loved that city, I recommend everyone to go to the Bakken amusement park
All the bikes you pointed at were locked, I think you're just unfamiliar with the style of locks! 😉It's like a frame-fixed lock with a small rod that locks in place
This used to be THE bike lock in Finland as well but nowadays bicycle theft has exploded so you need a beefy U-lock if you don't want to donate your beloved bike to a junkie.
@@Pusahispidasaimensis It's mainly cultural enrichment which has caused the bike thefts to go up.
@@Tiax776 well that's just not true.
@@Tiax776not true, most bike theft is done by organized gangs coming from eastern Europe, they fill a truck with stolen bikes and go back to Romania or wherever.

I'm an American whose lived in Denmark for 16 years and love it. Copenhagen definitely the best of the Scandi captials.
As a Norwegian, yep, I agree. Denmark is the best place in the nordic countries, by far. For however long danes continue to exist.
@@Sinekyre14 That's deep. I will move to Norway before we go extinct :D
@@stevenoest I meant white people going extinct. Because Scandinavia is quickly becoming minority-white, and then it will be a hell-hole, no different than any third world country. It is our race that makes these countries great.
#9:23 This is the Royal Guard walking from their baraks to the royal residence in order to relieve the current guard at the palace.
"it's a marching band!" Had me ugly cry laughing
And when the Stock exchange caught fire, 90 soldiers from the guard ran through the streets, from their barracks to assist the firefighters
And make no mistake. Even though they look like funny toy soldiers with cute bear hats, those are elite forces with lethal weapons. Don't poke the bear hats... ;)
@@earthorbiter They're not an elite unit. These are just conscripts in a guard unit. Livgarden hasn't been an elite unit, since the loss at the Battle of Dybbøl in 1864.
The Royal Life Guard in Denmark has a long history as an elite unit in the Danish military and has not surrendered in combat. The Life Guard was established in 1658 by Frederik III, and its primary duties are to protect the royal family and perform ceremonial duties such as guarding Amalienborg Palace. The Life Guard also plays a combat-ready role in the Danish military, but it has not been involved in direct combat actions that would require surrender in recent times.
Here's a short resume from Dybbøl in 1864 "When the vigorous fire was raging, the Life Guards in section column began to debouch from Sønderborg and advance on the northern pontoon bridge. The ranks were tightly closed, the march steady and in regular cadence, rifles at rest, sharply dressed, all just as on the drill ground. Four officers marched ahead of the column: the commander, Major Krieger; the adjutant, First Lieutenant Tobiesen; Captain Nægler, if I remember correctly; and a fourth officer, presumably the leader of the company's front platoon. Grenades whipped down into the water on both sides of the bridge, but the Life Guards continued their steady march. When the column's head had reached approximately two-thirds of the length of the bridge, the battalion was ordered to retreat; the artillery noise was so strong that I, standing near the western end of the bridge, could not hear any command. But suddenly I saw the rifles sharply shouldered, as was required at the time before turning around, and the column, almost simultaneously in its entire depth as far as it had gone out on the bridge, turned and just as calmly as it had advanced, marched back into Sønderborg. It was a proud sight to see the beautiful unit advancing and retreating amid the intense grenade fire, as if it were on the parade ground. How beautiful would such a unit's advance have been if it had been called earlier and had the opportunity to take part in the 8th Brigade's advance."
By other words, once again, Denmark owes its sovereignty to the Danish Royal Guard.
I hope that you in the future, will start traveling with known truths, instead of harmful lies like this in the future.
Sincere greetings
Royal Guard, M.S. Nielsen
Nice video. My grandfather was in the Danish resistance during WW2. As a child I loved listening to all his stories from the war.
you might have noticed the references to the Danes rescuing most of the Jews in Copenhagen and smuggling them to safety in Sweden. An amazing accomplishment of the Danish resistance.
Dane here. 1) Amazing to save those lives, but 2) those fishermen took "risk-payment" in full from the people, that they ferried across. History is grey.
Dont forget the actions of the King. He paid for most of that, and his constant vigilance in the face of the nazis and hitler. Try to imagine any politician who would dare do something like that, it simply would never happen. Read up on Hans Kongelige Højhed Christian d. 10 if interested.
In Denmark we chose to collaborate with the Germans in the first years of the war.
Other countries such as the Netherlands had an active resistance movement much earlier than we did.
I am happy the Danish Jews that were saved, but we shouldn't be bragging :-)
@@dimajo3057 also when the nazi told him to stay in his castle he was like fuck that im riding my horse throu town EVERDAY just to piss them of and to support the resistance
@@anotherelvis We did not collaborate, we were allowed to act with our own government and not be influenced by the nazis. It is utterly foolish to have taken the fight with the nazis given our location and the sudden attack. It would have destroyed us for no purpose. We gave a moral opposition with the king never giving in, and never giving them the respect hitler wanted, and daily riding through town on his horse saluting any danish he met. The disrespect at some point led Hitler to be so offended he did become more strict on Denmark. The danes did the right thing, didnt give in, didnt assist, and then worked actively against the nazis with intelligence to the british and sabotage within. I am crazy grateful to that decision because it means my country and people werent decimated for some silly superficial standoff. And we should ABSOLUTELY brag that we saved 95%+ jews and saved the danish people and cities.
Dane here. Born and raised in Copenhagen. You guys are SO funny! I laughed out loud many times during this entertaining and very personal review. Well done, guys! Also great job on the editing. I'm so happy to see what a great time you had here! If you ever come back during the summer time, I'll be happy to take you on a free, private tour around the canals in our boat to see the city from "the water side". ☀❤
Copenhagen Central Station is built so high because it is so old that it was from that time that steam locomotives were used
Heyy
as a Dane i will recommend you to eat the smørrebrød with a beer on the side next time.
And a snaps!😋
listen to Tommy.
@@tommyhansen2116 Yeah, they missed out by not having a piece with herring and a snaps on the side. Also because it would be funny for the viewers - it has a really strong flavor that takes most by surprise.
Came here to say the same as Tommy. 😂😂
Ofc
As a Copenhagener, I can inform you that all bikes are infact locked :D
If you don’t lock your bike, you can be almost a 100% sure it will be stolen.
I read somewhere that bikes are the most frequently stolen item in Copenhagen..
The unlocked ones won't take you far unless you put your credit card in the and thats not cheap.
The polish really like our bikes.... : ))
80% of the population had their bike stolen. Funny and sad at the same time.
As a Swede from Malmö I wholeheartedly agree that Copenhagen is the best city in the Nordics. I always end up feeling slightly underwhelmed and disappointed whenever I visit Stockholm.
Have you visited the beautiful parts of Stockholm then?
@@adam-7147 doh
Hey man, visited 1 year ago Malmö. Is it a middleastern/Muslim majority city? I feel like I saw more Arabic looking people than Swedish looking
@@adam-7147 Yeah I've spent a good bit of time in Stockholm. The scenery around the water is indeed beautiful but that's not all it takes to make a good city.
@@Yoyoarab123 Hope you liked it. I think Malmö is a great place to live and the poor reputation it has is not at all deserved.
I think the city is around 50% immigrants, and 15-20% muslim/middle-eastern.
[ 25:08 ] - Smørrebrød is an open-faced sandwich. "Smør" means butter and "brød" means bread, so the name describes the "foundation" of the sandwich, which is buttered (rye) bread.
And to add the connection to the Swedish word smörgåsbord:
Smørrebrød and smörgås have the same meaning - open-faced sandwich with butter and various toppings. Smörgås literally means "butter-goose" and it allegedly originates from the little clumps of butter that would float to the top during the churning process looking like geese, and people would fish those out and put them on bread.
So smörgåsbord = butter-goose table/buffet.
Same meaning in Finland. Called voileipä, voi=butter, leipä=bread. It's open sandwich with toppings: butter, cheese, cold cuts, smoked salmon, gravlax, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, prawns and so on. We also make voileipäkakku=butter bread cake that is like a layer cake but with bread with savory fillings. Yummy!
Smörgåsbord is a buffet of toppings for your "open faced sandwich" for you to construct yourself.
@@eidodk Wrong. Smorgasbord is a big table with many cold and hot dishes. Danish smorrebrod and Swedish smorgasbord are two different things.
@@botalm1878 You don't say ? You're seriously trying to teach me what my native dishes are ? :-)
It's cool to see what Denmark is like, my great-grandfather was a Dane from Viborg but I never had the experience of going there, it's cool to see through this video how people live their lives
my home town :)
You should go.. Viborg is a beautifull city
Viborg is an amazing and beautiful city. I live just outside it in a small town.
Social democracy is a helluva drug.
I'm flattered by your words, for some reason that I can't explain, I always thought that the Danes wouldn't like me or something like that, I'm even more encouraged to come visit you, a hug to everyone
I like how you both approached all the landmarks and attractions with good background knowledge. Pretty much all your information was correct which is rare to hear 😅
So happy to see you guys enjoying Copenhagen! I am happy to be Danish and living in Copenhagen. it is a great city with so much to do and see, yes Denmark is expensive but also quite decent in quality. Hope you will be back again.
9:15 You probaly know this, but its not just a show. Those are the danish royal guards. And while it is a tourist attraction, the guns are not for show. They're loaded and they're trained to use them. Its possible to do as your tour for the draft. 4 months "green" training and 4 months guarding the monarch and special sites.
Every day, theres a changing of the guard on Amalienborg, about 12:00. The "parade" starts from Gothersgade 11:28, where the barracks are located.
The guys walking are the "Fourth Company", shown by their yellow ribbons on the sables. They're the shortest of the guards, with "red ribbons" being the tallest.
Have really enjoyed watching your Scandinavian videos. From English man living in Stockholm.
As a kid I had the dream of moving to Denmark. Sure, I didn't know much about the country, but everything I heard about it was good enough to foster that dream. Now I've moved on from that goal, but still I keep some fondness for the country and still hope to visit it one day (and learn the language).
Denmark is a good country i live here and i love it w My whole Heart you should defentely visit Denmark❤
Our language is difficult though 😀
@@gjermand so I've heard, but it seems to be a rewarding one (especially if you're a fan of literature), thus I believe it'll be worth the effort - though I can see myself struggling with the pronunciation 😅
Ja især udtalen og de mange svære ord. Men kast dig endeligt ud i det 😀😀
@@gjermand No not compared to finnish or baltic languages.
As a Dane myself, this is a very cool presentation of Denmark :) Well done!
Tivoli is the second oldest amusement park in the world, the first one is Bakken or dyrehavsbakken which is also danish. It opened in 1583
Some of those are boat houses, there are people staying all year round and hook up with public electricity just like some you see in Stockholm
Köpenhavn are the best city in the nordic countrys, Even though im Swedish i must say that. But you should check Malmö as well its a very nice city.
You guys are so cute. A hotdog with everything on top like a champ :D
I think you did a very good job showing off Copenhagen and some traditional Danish foods and architecture.
Too bad you didn't get to see Børsen as it was an incredibly beautiful building. Actually, on that note, right across the street from the burned down building you got the Danish Parlament, Christiansborg ("Christian's Castle") from where the newly crowned King of Denmark was proclaimed King Frederik the 10th just a few months ago.
When I lived in Copenhagen I used to bike everywhere all the time but actually the public transportation in the city is great with many different options depending on where you're headed.
Last thing I want to add, when you go downtown and the weather is nice, it's just the best. You can walk across the bridge to the island Amager and hang out by the water or in one of the many parks in the city, so many good places to go. But every dane knows what the prices are like downtown. I wouldn't call them tourist traps as such but you definitely pay a premium for everything in the city center.
Thanks for the lovely video.
21:15 Medisterpølse, medisterkorv or simply medister is a Scandinavian specialty food consisting of a thick, spiced sausage made of minced pork and suet (or lard), stuffed into a casing. The word medister is derived from a combination of med and ister, respectively meaning 'meat' and 'suet'. It was first used in print in a Swedish housekeeping book from the early 16th century.
Cool!... You just taught me something!! 😍Thank you!!!
Yep, and so they just missed the best one. Swedish equivalent is isterband.
The wooden roller coaster in Tivoli, while it might not be from when the park opened it, is 110 years old this year :)
Wow! I'd imagine it creaks and bends as the car goes along... sounds fun :) and scary

Much Love to You Both (+ the Baby) from Finland! 🇫🇮 🤗💕
Good video. I happy that you enjoy Copenhagen. You might have found the cheepest smørrebrød in the whole city :)
Det vil jeg også have😂
I went to Denmark years ago and only managed a brief trip to Copenhagen was so nice to reminisce and see the things I didnt manage.I'll need to return
4 sandwiches for 100DKK in all? That was a steal in Copenhagen, in the more touristy areas it could be 100 DKK for one! Been there, done that.
Those, that costs 100kr, like Schønnemans og Ida D, are also way bigger.
It's called Domhusets Smørrebrød, go look it up, I visited the place some years ago myself, very cheap but well made traditional Danish smørrebrød.
They went to a take-away place. Workers drop by to pick up their daily lunch. It has to be affordable or they wouldn't sell much. The restaurants that serve it has much higher prices.
As if workers in Copenhagen do not make quite a good living and cannot afford higher prices.
I live in the outskirts of the 2nd largest city of Denmark and earn around $255 to $360 a day, depending on the hours and day of the week, and my present part-time job as a night watch with no degree required (though I do have one) is nothing fancy. Spending 100 kr. (or around $14) on lunch do not matter at all.
@@agffans5725 I think there is a difference between cannot afford or not willing to spend!
Most people would not spend a 100kr for everyday lunch.
That is why, they either bring food from home. Besides, I wouldn't go to a restaurant to eat in my bricklayer/carpenter overalls (as written on the van).
It's so refreshing to see Copenhagen through your eyes. It made me feel lucky I'm living here. Thanks! :D
As a dane it’s pretty fun to watch. Thank You for your kind words about our Capital :-)
You guys are soo nice and really well informed. You were really respectful and openminded. Just got me in such a good mood and psyched for the summer coming in Copenhagen. Thank you and have a wonderful trip. 🙂
4:08 Tivoli Gardens is actually the worlds 3rd oldest amusement park, and is one of the most visited parks in Europa. The oldest is also a Danish park called "Dyrehavsbakken" or also know as Bakken ( The Hill), entre is free to the park and each ride cost money. That is also unusual here, as you normally pay a entre price and then the rides are free. It is almost 450 years old, so it beats the age of most countries in the world.
As a Dane, I LOVED ❤ this video! You nailed it 🎉
21:40 not mayo but Rémoulade (the yellow umami stuff), you will typically get both fried and fresh onions on top.
I am from Copenhagen, and there is actually a wooden roller coaster in Tivoli which is still standing from 1840's
Time in video: 4:15
Its old, but not THAT old. It is from 1914.
@@Fetguf Yes, and it was built for the Baltic Exposition in Malmo, which closed because of the WW1. The coaster was moved to CPH in the 1920s. 1929 I think.
@@botalm1878 Hi sorry I didnt reply before. It was build for Tivoli and was opened mid June 1914. The story about it being from Sweden is a hoax.
23:41 North american cities used to look somewhat like this, but would end up getting torn down to make space for streets & parking lots. Good but sad example would be NYC.
Nice video. The marching soldiers are the Royal Guard which change everyday at 12.00 at the Royal Palace Amalienborg. Go see it. The church next to Round Tower is where I was baptized.
Nice. You caught the Queen's Guard (now the King's Guard) marching through Strøget. And btw. The bikes are most certainly locked. You were maybe expecting chain locks, but most bikes are locked with a discreet but very durable fork lock at the top of the back wheel, under the saddle.
It was my favorite building in the area seeing that Børsen has burnt down is an absolute tragedy. We have lost a piece of history that it will be impossible to get back.
7:53 when she says "less buttery" I think it’s because it’s a yeast dough and not a pastry dough with all the layers of butter
18:50 This style is alien to Denmark. It is the English church in Copenhagen, and its architecture is very English.
Copenhagen Central station is the largest and one of the oldest train stations that exists in Denmark. That church you were looking at from the round tower by the way. I was up on the tower, and there was absolutely almost no safety when standing outside. That was horrifying.
Copenhagen=5🌟
Stockholm=4🌟
Reykjavik=3🌟
Oslo=2🌟
Helsinki=1🌟
Great video, I have visited all Capitols and when considered everything about them I truly believe that there is a clear winner in Copenhagen.
I agree with this rating
I think it's a fair rating, though I think its worth noting that Helsinki is still great, it's just not quite the crazy excellence of especially Copenhagen, Stockholm and Reykjavik. All the Nordic capitals are great experiences, but Copenhagen just manage to be special somehow even among top performers.
@@NATIK001 Copenhagen and Amsterdam are very similar. Flat,old and bikes allover.
Almost agree, I´d like to put Copenhagen as no1 as I like the Danish mentality and philosophy on life more, but as a city I think Stockholm has much more to offer than Copenhagen.
8:30 That's a "tall snail" (høj snegl) and not a "Spandauer" 😀A spandauer is more flat, made with hazelnuts and has a dollop of "cake cream" or jam in the middle.
The bikes are locked by a small frame lock, you can see them holding on the back wheel. Its not much, but enough for a non expensive bike.
Great video, I returned from Copenhagen yesterday, and so was watching some UA-cam stuff on copenhagen to see what other other people thought, and I stumbled on yours, its excellent, its fun, interesting and much more. You stayed in same hotel as me! My comments in my journal were, 'Copenhagen blew my mind' just as you have, I love Danish people and their lifestyle, I felt very comfortable.
Great Video
Loved your video, it was packed with lots of excellent information and tips for visitors looking forward to the next one.
25:33 that's (most likely) not mustard, but remoulade! It's a condiment based on mayonnaise with pickled cucumber, capers, tumeric and other things added.
Copenhagen central station has has a high ceiling because it’s built for steam locomotives.
And btw there isn’t mayonnaise in the hot dog, it’s remoulade - which is mayonnaise with finely chopped pickles
And it is not mustard on the roastbeef. It’s also remoulade, pickles, horseradish and fried onions.
@@lenajensen5940 Remoulade is quite a lot more than Mayo and pickles... It's curry, it's kapers, it's carrot, it's pickles, it's mayo, its vinagre.
@@eidodk Danish Remoulade is the best version of tartar sauce. Not even the New Orleans remoulade comes close.
@4:13 fun fact Bakken which is an amusement park outside of Copenhagen opened in 1583 and it still has the original Rollercoaster.

9:31 Those are the Danish Royal Guard
They are marching from Rosenborg Castle to Amalienborg Palace where the Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place.
Which happens daily with the guard leaving Rosenborg Castle at 11:30am to arrive at Amalienborg Palace for the ceremony at 12:00am.
Tivoli is the second oldest amusement park, the oldest is located a little outside Copenhagen in Dyrehaven Bakken
3rd oldest. The 2nd oldest i some place in Germany
@@tanjaliljeqvist143 you are unfortunately wrong, in fact Tivoli in Copenhagen has always been considered the first. because of dyrehavsbakken that we in Denmark see as the first was not really an amusement park at the beginning but more a place where clowns and gypsies came and made some fun... but I am well aware that Germany would like to take all the credit for what Denmark invents. It's like the hamburger, people think it also comes from Hamburg, even though it was a Dane who lived in the USA who invented it..
@@Thjaaa You are sadly wrong yourself..
Bakken is considered the oldest amusement park, followed by Wurstelprater, Austria and then Tivoli. so even if bakken isn't the first then Tivoli is still isn't first.
As for Hamburger, sure there is some credibility that Louis Lassen was one of it's possible inventors - it's hard to take credits since it was really just an adaptation of northern european sandwhiches. He is however recognized as the inventor by the US library of congress, but has been disputed so many times. besides, Germans never took claim of inventing the burger in most instances.
@@crezgaming9614 when I Google the first theme park in the world..... What is the oldest amusement park in the world?
In Dyrehaven, in the middle of the green beech forest, lies Bakken, the world's oldest amusement park. Since Kirsten Piil discovered the healing spring more than 440 years ago, Bakken has attracted millions of summer-happy guests from near and far - inland and abroad.
Heyy
I came here to relive my trip there last weekend and realized when you showed the fire we were there at the same time! Lovely city, hope to return and visit some of the spots I evidently missed ❤
AWESOME, GREETINGS FROM HELSINKI, FINLAND🇫🇮🇩🇰🇨🇦
Heja, Suomi ;-)
Hi guys, what a nice video of Copenhagen. Especially I admire that you clearly had done some very good 'research' before you came here, and you were very well prepared to experience a lot of nice and significant stuff. Yes, Copenhagen is a very nice city and I am lucky to live here.
A few comments: 08:50 the Danish is a chocolate spandauer. A bit later: 'the military parade' is The Royal Life Guard marching to the Kings Palace to shift the guard. Smørrebrød: yes, it must be resten with fork and knife. You can find smaller versions that can be eaten by hand, but they are hard to find in the center of Cph. By the way: always eat the fish first.
Impressive what you managed to see in a short time. If you come another time, you should visit the neighbourhoods next to the Inner City. Especially Nørrebro and Vesterbro. You will find a lot more of Copenhagen there.
Really enjoyed your video. Come back another time 👍🙏
Have fun! And glad to know Ivana is feeling good! ENJOY! 🤗 Denmark reminds me a little bit of the Netherlands.
Omg yes...Diablo II! I met my husband on battlenet 20 years ago. Love from a Dane 😊
You met your husband on Battle.Net? Wow. I want to see a Netflix documentary about this love story. 10/10 would watch. Congrats!!
@@JetLagWarriors sure did. I was a frozen orb sorc and he was a hammerdin. Best drop 😃
The military at 9:10 is The Royal Life Guards (no not that kind) and it is mostly a ceremonial unit but is deployed for combat
#14:42 - it is not a little mermaid statue. It is THE Little Mermaid statue.
It's a pretty disappointing tourist attraction.
The head of the mermaid was stolen many times 😅
@@Tiax776 yes but mainly for Americans for some reason they think the LITTLE mermaid is a BIG mermaid like the statue of liberty😂its not a statue that Danes travel to see, its more all the things she has been through that is interesting, people stealing her head ect. and the fact that it's a symbol of Hans Christian Andersen, however the route to see the Mermaid is great because it takes people to Amalienborg, castle, Frederiks church, kastellet (the Citadel) the English church, the Gefion fountain and Copenhagen harbor , so unless people arrive in a bus just to see the mermaid it is a great trip
Haha agree, sometimes his comments come across a little ignorant, no offence
Well, at least she had her head on, while they were there 😂
I moved here 16 years ago and still every time I go to the inner city I think to myself: “I love this city!” ❤ Glad you enjoyed it too.
Thank you for visiting Denmark :)
There are a lot of things to see outside of Copenhagen as well.
9:50 - The reason behind the long slope in rundetårn is that back in the day the king that had it built (Christian IV) could be driven up to the top via a horse carriage.
Oh, wow! This is great info. Thanks for sharing
Nice to see Copenhagen from your perspective 💪😎 Even with more delicate coverage of the stock exchange fire than the Danish news medias...
talking about amusement parks, the oldest in the world is actually located about 30 minutes north of Copenhagen. It's called Bakken (The hill) and was opened in 1583. pretty cool place located in a forest. has the oldest roller coaster as far as im aware aswell.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Copenhagen :) I've lived here for nearly 20 years, and I love it. If you are ever here again, I highly recommend walking through Frederiksberg Gardens - the right time of year you can see the elephants at the zoo. Bike theft is the #1 crime here, haha, seriously. My husband (Danish) had FOUR bikes stolen, despite locking them up, in 8 months!
About Central Station, why the roof is so high:
Back in the days (last millemium) the trains were steam trains, and if the roof had been lower you would have been suddorcating in the smoke from the smokestacks.
I can't remember how many times I and my friends stood on the bridge at Dybbølsbro when the steam trains left Central Station and mom was always angry, our clothes was gray and black from the exhaust of the trains
The center where you say they have bike garage is called Fisketorvet (it does NOT have a fishing shop there) when I was 16, I worked on a small fishing trawler, and right where Fisketorvet are today, there were 2 fishing auctions
At 13:08 you are on the street called Gammel Mønt and is from around 1728, the scaffold you see there are from the company I worked at until 1 januar this year (I have build it with my partner
Very good explanation,your so right 👍
The tallness of the roofs in train stations is a legacy of the steam locomotives, when a low roof would have caused the entire platform level to be completely engulfed in fog ~ hence, the tall roofs so the steam can collect and dissipate well above the heads of the passengers... however, since we've all gotten used to the cathedral like architecture of train stations, which lets in light and just looks awesome, that building style has then been continued long after the last steam locomotive rolled out of there... 😉👍
I am danish, from Copenhagen, Thank you for your visit (and kind words) 🥰
Heyy
You should visit Torvehallerne at Nørreport is the best foodhall in copenhagen and Reffen close to the operahouse best streetfood in copenhagen

@@danilo6680 I dont know what you mean with biggest tourist scam, as a local I like shopping at torve hallerne the food quallity is very high so you get what you pay for
@@cassio2999 Then I suggest you keep paying for what you get (mediocre), instead of finding the real hidden gems around the city. Enjoy
The "Spandauer" is actually the name of another pastry, the one you got is actually called af "Bund snegl" which is af cinnamon bun baked in a small round circle

It was not the Kings Castle but Rosenborg Castle located in Kings Garden. Its where the crown jewels are stored. The kings residence is Amalienborg Castle 1 km further east.
Smörgåsbord means table with a lot of different dishes and side dishes to choose from, usually describing things in a symbolic way.
But we don’t have anything called Smörgåsbord in Denmark - just smørrebrød 😊
@@CharlotteLuxi Vi har smörgåsbord i Danmark, vi kalder det bare koldt bord
16:19 lollll i was out filming for a school project, that's me with the red bike in the background!!
If you're still in Denmark, you can also visit a Japanese cultural event tmrw here in Copenhagen called Sakura Festival over at Langelinie Park, which starts at 11am tomorrow. It is celebrated at this time every year.
I also recommend that you try out Shawarma Grill House in Copenhagen.
Sounds pretty arabic! There was a turkish restaurant in Hamburg Germany that was frequented by some rowdy german drunks who deliberatly crashed right into the guests tables so they tilted & the food splashed all over the place!
Det runde Tårn (the Round tower), when it was first built, it actually was stairs all the way from the bottom to the top. However, the story goes, that one of the kings couldn't be bothered to walk up all thoose stairs. So he had it altered, so he could use a horsedrawn carriage as far as possible (until you get to the very narrow staircase at the top).
Go to Reffen street food market!
As a Dane in Copenhagen I really appreciate the way you experienced the city.
Copenhagen stands out to us. We really enjoyed our time there, and that's after seeing 30 or 40 countries, and hundreds of cities.
@@JetLagWarriors it makes me appreciate the city even more seeing videos like yours
There is only one right way
to eat a Danish Hotdog...
Lean forward... 😄
Nice trip you guys had to Denmark. And the King life guard was marching by. So sad thatbthe building Børsen burned Down. Tragic. I hope you come back another time. Maybe at summertime.
Hey dane here, btw the only reason why you all think it is so expensive in Denmark is because you are in Copenhagen, if you would just go to Jylland as it is called, then everything is so much cheaper✌🏻
There's a different reason though. They're comparing to other countries, who doesn't have the social structure and sizeable paychecks. If you live here, earn your danish living and pay your danish taxes, it's actually comparable to everywhere else on a one to one basis.
But won't they need a special visa for visiting Jutland? ;-)
Great video. Do come back to Denmark some other time. We´ve got plenty to offer. Legoland, Lego House, city of Aarhus, western coastline, fairytale islands in the south, oceans meeting in the north and maybe a walk in the wandering dune.
8:30 That’s no Spandauer. Looks more like a direktørsnegl or borgmestersnegl. 😊
Glad you liked your stay here!
About Christian 4th..
Rosenborg Slot (The King's Palace) was not the only thing in the video built by King Christian 4th.
The two very iconic buildings Rundetårn (The Round Tower) and Børsen (the stock exchange that burner) that you saw earlier were also "built by him".
Go to Tivoli!!! I love there 😍😍😍
Tivoli of course. 2019 25.12 and amazing fireworks! Beautiful lights. National Aquarium was also great. Rundetårn in the city center👍 A good destination
You're actually on to something in regards to rent influencing the prices. Rent is very high and grows at a fixed rate. Prices are heavily influenced by this. Copenhagen businesses has sort of a bad reputation due to pricing of goods and services but there's really no choice.
Cool video!
I am born in stockholm and living here now.. BUT, Copenhagen is my fav, wanna live there
25:20 the bread you got was smørbrød but translated it is butter bread so it is bread whit butter and then there is different topping
i want to try all the food you had in the video 👍
