• Copenhagen day2

    10. heinäkuuta 2024, Tanska ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Day 2.... We opted to visit Christiansborg Palace just one of the many palaces in this wonderful. city The royal palace has beautiful reception rooms & stables, plus 12th-century castle remains. Once home to kings and queens, Christiansborg Palace now houses the Danish Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of State.

    Considered one of the most sustainable cities in the world, Copenhagen has in total 546 km of bicycle paths, a fleet of electric harbour ferries .

    The harbour basins can hold 260,000 m3 of wastewater, which is equivalent to 111 Olympic-sized swimming pools (50m)making the water in the port so clean that it is suitable for swimming. Bathing takes place in the three wooden port pools called harbour baths with buoys marking “swimming zones”, and at an urban beach. Copenhagen was declared the best bathing city in the world by CNN in 2019.

    Copenhagen I'll be back to try this I hope.

    Sweden was beckoning as we caught a glimpse across the water on our stroll along Ameger Strand. The closest I got to a dip in the Baltic.. The water so clear and the lovely wood bathing pool with the views across to Saltholm nearly had me in .. all very tempting but with no swimsuit on me! Note to self for next time.
    So much left to discover....
    I look forward to the onward travel on our return. But for now farewell.. it's been wonderful!
