Last Day In Copenhagen: Cycling

Our last day in Copenhagen was spent hiring bikes and cycling all around the city to things we wanted to see. The morning consisted of shopping in Nørrebro, visiting the pretty cemetery where Hans Christian Andersen is buried, and Nørre Farimagsgade which was the street Iesha’s dad and grandparents lived on for a bit in Copenhagen which was special. Bike riding was so much fun and we got the hang of it - no wonder it’s called the city of bikes. We also walked through Freetown Christiania which is an independent area in Copenhagen that is a hippy commune with shanty-town vibes because all the residents have built their own houses. The rules in Christiania are a bit different to the rest of Copenhagen but we still felt very safe walking around, although we did see one marijuana plant growing openly in someone’s front yard.

We visited the Church of our Saviour (1696) in the afternoon which is a 100m tall church where you can climb all the old and narrow winding steps to the top. The view was incredible whilst the sun was starting to set. The day finished with a visit to the famous Little Mermaid statue. It was quite small but very serene and cute. They had just put all the Christmas lights up in Nyhavn the day before so we spent our final night sitting under the pretty lights with churros and icecream on the canal. Copenhagen has been amazing!Read more
