^Will do mate
Today we will take a look at a "newer" part of the Inner city - The area between
Nørreport - the northern gate and
Queen Louise Bridge that crosses the Lake defenses - shown last time
In the old days Copenhagen was as mentioned before surounded by water on all sides - some areas manmade canals and other areas the ocean - and back then it had 3 gates connecting the city with Zealand, each called after it's kompas direction ( those directions would later also be name to the new districts on the other side of the gates )
In the last pic I showed you
Nørrebro - wich means "Northern Bridge" - as you had to cross the northern bridge to get there - to get to the northern bridge you'd had to go trough the northern gate
Nørreport - later the Lakes where made having you cross one gate and two bridges - and inbetween the first and second water defenses there was a raised embankment with guns and baracks and towers and all that stuff
These days the gates are located downtown and Nørreport is now known for the Train and Metro Station located on where the gate used to be ( "Nørreport Station - the busiest in all the Kingdom btw ) - and this is also where you exit the old town and move into a "newer district" from 1860 - build on what used to be the old defenses that was torn down as the city had expanded greatly outwards so there was little point if keeping them
This new district now follows the Lakes ( also mentioned before ) on one side and the borders of the old town on the other - and much of the old defenses were kept and made in to several parks - the most known of them is
Tivoli that is now an amusement park - the world's second oldest to be precise
It's is very classy area and offers some of the most beautiful buildings in the city and some of the best parks
This pic from
Frederiksborggade gives a good idea about how the area looks and feel
