Northern Europe Trip: Copenhagen, Denmark

the building around 7 min mark is the barracks of the Royal guards (right next to Rosenborg castle). The guards walk from there to Amalienborg palace every day to make the guard change. They also guard Rosenborg Castle, though they do not wear the blue uniform at Rosenborg

5:32 you can see a yellow ferry. It is also public, so your Copenhagen Card also covers that. So calming just taking a trip on the ferry.

Lovely vlog! Btw, we don't check bags in Denmark because it is a very safe country. No guns. No safety issues at all—other than mostly bike thefts.

Tivoli Gardens opened in 1843 and is the third oldest amusement park in the world. The oldest amusement park is located north of Copenhagen. It can come as a surprise to know that Tivoli Gardens was actually located outside Copenhagen when it was founded in 1843. Copenhagen was surrounded by fortifications and a moat up to the mid 1850s when the dismantling of these started (this was completed in the mid 1880s). The lakes in Tivoli Gardens and Botanic Garden are actually remnants of the moat which once surrounded Copenhagen. Rosenborg Castle was built as a summer residence for King Christian IV.

Are you serious? 🙂 Bags are not checked, and that bothers you? Wow. You really need to do something about your home country. I can't even begin to imagine being so afraid all the time, and I actually happened to be at the location of an actual - extremely rare for Denmark! - tragic shooting incident some years ago at the shopping centre Fields, with one of my (adult) kids! Sure, it was a horrible experience, we were a handful of people who hid in a fashion shop storeroom for maybe an hour or two, before we took our chances and ran for an emergency exit (at that point I think the shooter had already been arrested, which we didn't know, and the police didn't know if there were more than one. It was just a poor, mentally ill guy, whose father stored some gun club weapons insecurely at home - that's a bit scary! But also extremely unlikely to happen ever again.) But to live with such a fear of the world and people around you all the time ? That would be a million times worse ! And yet you seem to be used to it, that you can't imagine it not being so. I feel so sorry for you. I like your video, but I could not let that go by without saying this. I hope you will feel a little more relaxed next time you come to Denmark, there really is no reason not to feel safe here at all times. <3 Oh, and the "military base" was the barracks of the Life Guard, the regiment that guards the King and the Royal Palace Amalienborg. If you went to the zoo and Frederiksborg Have (Garden) there is also Frederiksborg Slot (Palace). It is used as the Danish Officer Academy, the "West Point" of Denmark, I guess. 🙂And there is also Kastellet, the fortress or citadel (built in 1626) in the middle of the park near the Little Mermaid. It is still an active military location, which now houses offices for various military and Department of Defence functions, but the grounds are open to the public during daytime, I believe. Now I will watch the rest of the video and see what else you have enjoyed in our lovely little capital city Copenhagen. But I can recommend also visiting the main part or Denmark - Jutland - next time you are around, we also have nice things: The Jelling stones from the 10th century, and LEGOland from more recent times, for example, or Moesgaard Museum of Archeology near Aarhus, where you can say hello to the 3rd century/Germanic iron age bog man from Grauballe. ;-)

none of the bags get's checked.. tell me you are american without telling me you are american ....LOOL... ya that's not really the danish/nordic way dude....... tivoli and Bakken , placed way north of Copenhagen are some of the oldest amusement parks in the world...
