Mr D presents Køge Old Town

FREKI · #1 Posted: **May 1, 2007, 6:04 AM**

Hi guys and girls - let me present to you the old medieval town center of Køge - one of Denmark's best preserved "old towns" from the Middle Ages...

Or that is atleast what the Tourist Office want you to believe...

Køge itself ( pop ~35.000 ) is a small city located 40km south of Copenhagen city center - and is on the tip of the "urban finger" that follows the Køge bay...

The city - as mentioned above - features an well preserved old town where you'll find houses from all the way back to the the 1500's located around the city square and the pedestrian streets nearby.

Well enough talk - let's get this show started!

That is beautiful old town.

It will be on my list of places to visit that is for sure.

^It's 40min by the S-Train from Copenhagen Central Station... so it's a nice place for a "morning trip"

How nice and cute! And close!

Man, that's a beautiful town. Lots of cars, though!

FREKI · #6 Posted: **May 1, 2007, 9:26 PM**

^ Yeah, that's the problem with Copenhagen's suburbs - they are very sprawly and full of "car people"...

I love it when the old bits have gone a bit wonky.

I see you didn't invade this town.

Those buildings look good enough to eat.

Nope, no point to invade cities who's already flying the Danish flag!

Nice pictures. I like the vibrant colors of the buildings. It must make for an even nicer atmosphere in warm weather.

I'm guessing that the buildings with the little overhangs and/or outer wooden framing are the oldest ones in the town?

FREKI · #13 Posted: **May 3, 2007, 6:00 AM**

^ Yep - most of them dates back to the mid 1500's...

It's actually not bad... Køge is famous for a club called Ritz that gathers gents and lasses from as far away as 25km...

Other than that there's plenty of normals bars and tons of pubs and taverns ( this is Denmark after all

)

I've been to Ritz a couple times - and while it's size isn't that impressive it's absolutely packed with Southern CPH suburban chicks and contrary to CPH downtown many of these girls are actually looking for "contact"
