Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | As we get to know Copenhagen, we'll discover reminders of its Viking history and see reflections today of its proudly independent ways. We'll stroll down Europe's first great pedestrian boulevard, ogle crown jewels in the palace treasury, and take a bike ride through an inspirational hippie squatter community, finishing at Copenhagen's full-time carnival, Tivoli Gardens. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #copenhagen

    I 'm a vietnamese and living in Denmark from 1988 ( 30 years ) . I thank GOD every minute for living in Denmark .
  • I'm Brazilian and I'll probably never visit Europe. That's why I love these videos. They allow me to travel without moving and appreciate cities that are very different from the one I live in.
  • I'm a dual citizen and have lived in Denmark for the past 3 years but on the Jutland peninsula, starting next semester I'll be studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen and it's just hitting me now "omg I'm gonna be living somewhere that was on a Rick Steves episode"

    It's interesting to see Rick's travelogues. He lives in the places he visits. He absorbs the city, meets local guides, and studies the place until he's really a part of it, not just someone detached. It's a great way to travel. It's for the experience, not just a tick on a bucket list.

    I am from the Netherlands and Denmark is one of the very few countries in the world I would consider to live in, apart from my own

    American living in Denmark, coming from Oregon this place is awesome. Copenhagen is an amazing city!
  • @dipayanroy8300

    My grandpa’s parents lived outside of Copenhagen on the island of Zealand but moved to Copenhagen in 1890 for better work opportunities before finally leaving for America. Grandpa returned and lived there for three years. He missed it so much. After watching this program and the one about the rest of Denmark I can understand why he did and why it was important for him to instill in us his family a love for Denmark and all things Danish. Thank you for these wonderful shows.🙏🇩🇰

    I was in 2 minds about visiting Copenhagen next month, but Rick Steves' charming review just inspired me to book it. As the man says: 'Keep on travelling!'
  • @marieaustin10
    Just booked an impulse flight to Copenhagen in January 2017! Excited :D
  • Copenhagen was our last destination after 2 months travelling around Europe from March to June 2017. Its really nice to see this video now and find out that we actually did well and we have visited almost all touristic points you have mentioned and discovery a little more about the history of this friendly city. Great job :-) !!!
