Copenhagen at Sundown: Reflections on a City in Gold

#bestsunset #100waysoftravel Copenhagen is a city that effortlessly blends rich history with modern Scandinavian design. The best way to explore it is by bike, as the city is incredibly bike-friendly with dedicated lanes and easy rentals. Start your adventure in *Nyhavn*, the famous canal lined with colorful 17th-century buildings. It's perfect for photos and offers cozy cafes where you can relax with a coffee or smørrebrød, the traditional open-faced sandwich. Another must-visit is *Tivoli Gardens*, one of the world’s oldest amusement parks, where classic rides and charming gardens provide an enchanting atmosphere. If you’re interested in history and culture, head to *Christiansborg Palace*, which houses the Danish Parliament and offers stunning views from its tower. *Freetown Christiania* is a unique neighborhood that operates independently from Danish law. Known for its artistic vibe and alternative lifestyle, it’s a fascinating place to walk through and get a sense of local counterculture. For museum lovers, the *National Museum of Denmark* offers insights into the country’s past, while *Louisiana Museum of Modern Art*, located just outside the city, is worth the trip for both its art and seaside views. Copenhagen’s food scene is vibrant, especially with New Nordic cuisine. Don't miss *Torvehallerne*, a food market with local delicacies, fresh produce, and gourmet street food. Finally, the *Little Mermaid* statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's tale, is a must-see symbol of the city. To unwind, stroll along *Strøget*, one of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets, filled with shops, cafes, and street performances.
