COPENHAGEN | A Daily dose
Hi guys, gals and googlerinos..
Following the latest trend I will present my beloved hometown Copenhagen by a daily picture and a small description.. All pictures will be by me and from 2005 and forward.. should you have any questions or requests by all means ask! :) A Daily dose of Copenhagen We start out with a picture of my favorite hotel: D'angleterre It is located on Kongen's Nytorv ( King's Square ) in the old town and are one of the most exquisite - and pricy - hotels in Europe.. http://i7.tinypic.com/6lmvhxt.jpg In the winter the square are transformed into an outdoor artificially cooled ice rink and several times doing the summer the square are home to outdoor art exhibits |
Great idea! Can never get enough Copenhagen. :)

Word!

Nice idea for a thread, mate. Can't wait to see what's next in this installment. :)
It should be mentioned though, that d'Angleterre is one of the most "exquisite" old-style European hotels. It does not have the amenities to cater to today's business travellers - for example, most of the rooms doesn't even have a/c. The new Méridien Palace Hotel at Rådhuspladsen will be something else though. :) |
I can really need a daily dose, cause it's MUCH RAIN HERE.

You're not alone, Bergensers. Copenhagen/Malmö had a total of 8 hours of sunlight in December. :) |
^ Oh, now you reminded me of the (5-6?) hours of sun we had at the worst.
Spending the hours of sun at school... |
I saw the sun today!!! :D :banana:
And Freki - great idea for a thread! |

^ In Malmö! I was totally surpirsed myself. :) But it was only for a short while, somewhere between 10-11 AM.
|
I've seen a ton of sun the last week.. it seems everytime I get south of Brøndby Strand it pops out and follow me down to Køge.. ( the "sun coast" :D ) but not exactly blueskies or anything, just that anoying sun getting right in your eyes and reflecting on the moist road..
And now springs is on it's way :banana: Oh and to all Vinland residents ( that would be all on the western side of the pond ) the pic a day follows the CET time zone if you wonder about lacking pics :) See you all tomorrow - and thanks for the comments! :cheers: |
Nice plaza.
|
Today we'll take a look at Amager Torv - the main square on Strøget pedestrian street
In the middle you'll see the Stork fountain from 1894 that among other things was a central point for the hippies back in the 60's and are today nationally known from a song from back then about some good old hippy bashing by the police :) The Square is surrounded by great shops and cafes and is a popular place to take a rest from all the shopping.. both indoor and outdoor as the pic shows.. http://i9.tinypic.com/734spqf.jpg |
^^
I think this square looks better seen from the west, with the Café Norden building (?) overlooking the square. :) In any case, it's a lovely place. Keep 'em coming! |
Aaaah, when spring (and my salary) comes I'll take a shopping day in Copnehagen. :)
|
I want more, nice though. More please...
:yes: |
That's many bicycles! Good job Danes.

Plenty of pics there :) |
Hey, good idea for a thread! :)
In July of this year we will be in the neighbourhood and will surely pay a visit to Copenhagen. We won't be staying in your favorite hotel, D'angleterre, though. ;) |
^Cool remember to take lots of pics and share them here :)
For today we'll have a look at the Marble Church ( Marmorkirken ) located in the part of town known as Frederiksstaden - named after and mainly founded by King Frederik VI just north of the old town.. In this area you'll also find the Royal Palace and most of the larger embassies.. a very classy district to say the least.. :) I'm not a fan of churches myself, but I must admit I like this one - especially upclose where's it's abundent with details http://i1.tinypic.com/873vqxt.jpg |
