Copenhagen
Hi.
Its been a while, again... I was supposed to do this post a week ago already, but some shit happened and I just forgot about all this.
But here it finally is! A small post about Copenhagen!
So we were in Copenhagen for about 5 days with my friend. So much fun, good food, lots of shopping and good times. I managed to use almost so much money in just 5 days.. Shopaholic much?
So we booked a "hotel" near the Tivoli, it was one of the cheapest we could find. Under 500€ for 4 nights. It was on good location, breakfast included, own bathroom and a small balcony. Copenhagen is as expensive as Helsinki (if not even more..), so save up some money if you want to enjoy your trip.
So for the most parts we were just strolling around and shopping. There are so many small boutiques, and the variety is so much bigger than here in Helsinki. Sightseeing is also easy, if you are under 26 years old many sights are free. For example the Design museum in the city center is a rainy day savior.
There are many sightseeing towers i the city, and we were suprised that some are free. For example the Christiansborg castle tower is free entrance, and you get a nice view of the whole city. Rundetårn is also a good place to visit, and it was very cheap as well.
On the first day we arrived early in the morning so we had time to kill before we could check in. So we ate some breakfast in the high class area, Nyhavn. It was a beautiful morning so we did what any tourist would do, a sight seeing boat tour. We got to know the city better, and got lots of tips on what to do and see.
On the second day we strolled to the district of Nørrebro, around 3 km from our hotel. I had been following a restaurant for a while on Instagram called Grød. They make these delicious porridge dishes! It was poring rain, and we still decided to walk there.. But it was so worth it!! The porridge was so delicious. Definitely worth a visit.
I still have way to many pictures but lets leave for that another time.

Other places worth a visit are definitely the area of Christianshavn and Christiania. For those who do not know about Christiania, "Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania is a self-proclaimed autonmus neighborhood of about 850 residents. It was temporarily closed by residents in April 2011 while discussions continued with the Danish government about its future, but then re-opened to the public.
Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. In the years following 2004, measures for normalizing the legal status of the community led to conflicts, police raids and negotiations" (taken from wikipedia). Remember not to photograph in Christiania.
Christianshavn is a beautiful area in Copenhagen with expensive apartments, some of the worlds best restaurants (for example Noma) and just a lovely Amsterdam canal like feeling. Go to Copenhagen street food for some good food and fresh drinks, in an laid back atmosphere! The city has new plans for the next year for the area so be quick!
I have so many places I still want to visit in this lovely city and cannot wait to get back.
Just a couple of more recommendations!
Madklubben Vesterbro was lit! I took a 3 course dinner with wine pairings (including sparkling wine to start with), and an Whiskey sour cocktail and the whole package was around 90€! So cheap.
Atelier September is a cute little cafe in city center. This was on my must try list. We had a small lunch there, and they had the loveliest blackcurrant lemonade. YUM.
Cocks and cows, best burgers in town and fresh cocktails.
42raw if you are into some seriously delicious acai and matcha bowls. They even have some awesome pancakes.
I still have way to many pictures but lets leave for that another time.
