Copenhagen - everything

Having only one night in Copenhagen, I made a whistle-stop tour through the city. I saw:
Lots of pretty canals (eg. #1)
Christiansborg Palace (#2, now the parliament building, housing all three branches of government)
Amalienborg Palace, and across the water, the Opera House (waaaaaaaay more impressive than Stockholm's one, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_Opera_… )
The Little Mermaid Statue (#3, really not sure why this is a big deal, besides that Copenhagen seems to love anything with "Christian" in the name)
Søfartsmonumentet, a maritime monument to navy seamen who died in WW1 (#4, very near to The Little Mermaid and much more impressive IMO)
Kastellet, a star-shaped fortress (very hard to photograph the star shape but just zoom in the map to see)
the Gefion Fountain, an impressive sculpture/fountain combination I happened across (#5)
Church of Our Saviour, although all I could see was the lit-up spire at night (#6)

Last, but not least, I ventured into "Freetown Christiania", a "self-proclaimed autonomous neighbourhood" known for marijuana-selling being tolerated (but still illegal). It had a very hippie vibe and it was interesting seeing the dealers on "Pusher St" aka "the green light district" in stalls with netting, face covers, and bright lights so they couldn't be identified. No photos because they're not allowed.Read more
