Simply awesome D. Everything almost looks too perfect. Its almost trippy. Some people say Chicago is clean but it looks like you could eat off the side walk in most of Copenhagen.

[Grumpy]

I am surprised!
I never tought seeing so many new buildings -not tall but well designed- , a lovely waterfront and those tiny canals...

It has an Amsterdam touch but it is much cleaner , CPH is much more than the flocked Nyhavn area.

A big thanks for sharing these pictures :tup:

[FREKI]

Thanks guys! :cheers:

[Bergenser]

Definetly worth a visit! :tup:

[OhioGuy]

What a lovely city.

[SHiRO]

Great pics, great city...

[Fehn]

It s beautiful.
The city and the Photos. But where is the Jesus Kirken ?
You can also photograph the siren.

[BamaGrad04]

Man, what a city! That second pic is great (all are wonderful!). What is that building, and what type of trees are those? They are so cool. Good tour! :tup:

[FREKI]

Thanks all! :cheers:

Jesus Kirken (http://www.jesuskirken.dk/).... ehmm.... you like that?

Well... here's the Mermaid for you :)

For an extensive coverage of the city I have a district by district like thread on SSC: http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=341884

Man, what a city! That second pic is great (all are wonderful!). What is that building, and what type of trees are those? They are so cool. Good tour! :tup:

The building is Frederiksberg Palace... now used by the Army as part of the Officer Academy...

The trees I believe is called "Lime trees" in English "Lindetræ" in Danish..

The park they are in used to be a private royal hunting park - so they are a bit modified..

"Pimp my tree" :)

[gatt]

this one is impressive.
http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/9612/12xv8.jpg

a friend of mind lived in your city for a year and just loved it.is it true that it take only 5 hours by car to go from one side to the other of Denmark?

[cmoonflyer]

What a cool city !

[FREKI]

is it true that it take only 5 hours by car to go from one side to the other of Denmark? Yes, if you let your grandmother drive...


By Car:

Copenhagen - Esbjerg ( 270km ) can be done borderline legally in about 2h :)

Copenhagen - Århus ( 290km ) can be done in 2h 30m

Add 30min and you have the train time...

Freeway speed here is 130hm/h btw



From the northern most point ( Skagen ) to the most southern ( Gedser ) - Greenland and other islands excluded - there's around 530km by car, so that will take you around 5 hours with a few bathroom breaks.. but that trip also covers all the major islands.. :)

[Edan]

so thats what urban design is supposed to look like. thanks for sharing pictures of a city that works!

[Major AWACS]

Great pics!

I'll be making my first trip in late January can't wait to party in Denmark!

Thanks for the early trip. I will check some of those places out.

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,
Capt-AWACS, Veni, Vidi, Bibi, Carpe Imperium

[FREKI]

Thanks again people! :cheers:

@ Capt AWACS - cool I hop you have a great trip here - as you know January isn't the most charming month a year in this part of the world, but you should still be able to have a great time...

Feel free to ask if you have any questions :)

Beautiful city Mr D. As someone said earlier the place is super clean and looks like a pleasure to bike and walk, or take the train. Personally I love the mid-rise approach to develoment. There is something to be said for lots and lots of sun and light hitting the streets. Great tour.

[Swede]

These two are from the station where the Metro meets the S-tog (one raidal line and the orbital line), right? Did it get as busy as they thought it would?
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6154/02rd3.jpg
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5585/04tt8.jpg

[FREKI]

^Yes, it's Flintholm Station where 2 S-Train lines and 1 Metro line meets... ( 2 elevated and one at ground level )... it's already pretty busy and here from Jan. 6 the full F-line will be completed ( has been extended from Frederiksberg all the way out to Ellebjerg the last few years )... this will make it a "ring line" with 5 minute S-train operation and will cut A LOT of time off for people living in the outer parts of the CPH municipal..

Here's the full S-Train and Metro map for Jan-6-07: http://wikitravel.org/en/Image:Map_trains_cph.png


It's also a BUS hub btw

[JManc]

nice pics. a city i must visit some time in the immediate future.

are we led to believe that us yanks are unique in not knowing that copenhagen is the capital of spain?

[FREKI]

are we led to believe that us yanks are unique in not knowing that copenhagen is the capital of spain?Spain.... ehmm... You do mean Sweden right?


Seriusly, when people ask us if the some 12h it took to get to Miami from Denmark was by car I don't know what to believe anymore :haha:

[urbanlife]

great shots, that city will be on my list to visit when I go to europe for the first time. I have about a year and a half before it happens.

[Alta California]

I visited Copenhagen this summer and I took some pictures. Unfortunately, I don't remember the names of the building in these pictures. How bad was my memory? I think you'd find some of these are from Amsterdam, though for the life of me I have problems telling them apart.

It's a really and amazing city!!!

Excellent pics.

Greetings from Mexico.

[Swede]

Summer is comming! :banana:
:cheers:
YEAH! the last snow should be gone by now, sunny and upwards of 15C!
/which IMO makes it spring, not summer. It ain't summer unless you can wear just a T-shirt and not feel chilly til after sunset.

[mthq]

Wow these are awesome shots! Now I really can't wait to get there!

I definently would like to visit that parkland with those odd trees when I get there.

[FREKI]

Wow these are awesome shots! Now I really can't wait to get there!

I definently would like to visit that parkland with those odd trees when I get there.That would be Fredeiksberg Have ( Park ) it's located fairly close to Frederiksberg Metro station in the district of ( yep you guessed it ) Frederiksberg :)

You'll also find Copenhagen Zoo in that park... it's by far my favorite park in CPH, especially in spring!


Here's a few from last tuesday...

Gotta love global warming - I honestly haven't seen a cloud in 8 days!

[mic of orion]

very nice, Copenhagen looks very nice and modern.

[FREKI]

intense. Are some of those towers open to the public?Yep, the city hall ( where the pics are from ), a couple churches... and the Round Tower... and all the "tall" hotels do ofcause have Skybars...

I recommend Vor Frelser Kirke. It's close to Christiania.

It looks very nice and clean :)

What are the main languages spoken on the streets?

[FREKI]

What are the main languages spoken on the streets?
Danish ( national language ) - Arabic - Turkish - Swedish and a little English and Polish...

In the summer you can add some German, Norwegian and French too...

[Derek]

nice pics Mr. D...

and your avatar is great:cheers:

[FREKI]

Thanks! http://forum.rv92.de/forum/images/smiles/smilie_viking.gif

[RafflesCity]

Danish ( national language ) - Arabic - Turkish - Swedish and a little English and Polish...

In the summer you can add some German, Norwegian and French too...

That sounds pretty varied!

Why Arabic & Turkish though? Is there a sizeable Arabic community there?

[Swede]

^Like all the major Scandinavian cities, plenty of immigrants from the Middle East (but Denmark has a way bigger Vietnamese community for some reason iirc)
