    Copenhagen

    August 6, 2019 in Denmark ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark sits on the costal islands of Zealand and Amager.
    Favourite things to see include Frederick's Church, The Little Mermaid statue, Tivoli Gardens and the Royal Winter Palace.
    Since the turn if the 21st century, Copenhagen has undergone strong urban and cultural development. However we found the city to lack the vibrancy one would expect in such a progressive city.
    It is one of the major financial centres of Northern Europe and has seen a rapid development in the service sector especially information technology, pharmaceuticals and clean energy. It is planned that by 2050 all electricity will be supplied by clean energy. Our taxi from the airport was a fully electric Tesla car, surprising us with its speed and power.
    Traffic congestion is eased by the significant use of bicycle transport with specialist bicycle lanes beside the roads, with the bicycle having right of way.
    Denmark's son, Hans Christian Anderson is most remembered for his fairy tales. The statue to his story of the Little Mermaid is a must see tourist attraction.
