On Wednesday, after a day at sea, we pulled into the harbor at Copenhagen, Denmark. The first site everyone goes to see is the Little Mermaid. This sculpture sits in the bay near where our ship was docked and is a major site seeing destination.
Copenhagen has numerous parks and statues. It is a clean city, but not as modern as some we will visit.
This is an example of one of the many fountains we have seen on our trip. We saw several more during our visit to this city.
This is a colorful shopping district on one of the downtown canals. There are several restaurants along the walkway.
Another park in the middle of one of the busiest intersections we encountered.
Just a reminder that the “law” is enforced everywhere you go.
In Copenhagen, the primary mode of travel is by bicycle. The city has several thousand bikes spread out all over and they are free to ride. You take one and ride to your destination, then drop it off and pick up another one when you need to travel again.
This building is in the middle of a square downtown and has several fountains and sculptures nearby.
This is a statue of Hans Christian Andersen that sits near the building in the past picture. He lived here and is famous for having written many children’s stories.
This is a downtown shopping district.
This is the entrance to Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe. It was the inspiration for Walt Disney to design Disneyland.
Oftentimes, you see as many bicycles on the street as cars. They have designated lanes for bicyclists that are the width of a normal lane for cars.
This is the entrance to the Danish National Museum of Natural History. We spent quite a lot of time walking through it and taking photographs of the exhibits.
The museum has numerous exhibits of very old battle armor and weapons, such as these battle helmets.
Here is an example of some shields that have been used in battle.
They have several types of swords that have been preserved for antiquity.
The museum has an exhibit from Egypt that includes several mummies.
There is also some papyrus with hieroglyphics on it.
This statue is in the courtyard of the Royal Palace.
It appears that the Royal Guards take their jobs very seriously.
This is a picture of the Danish Royal Family.
This is a church we passed on the way back to the ship.
The City of Copenhagen as seen from the top of the ship as we are getting ready to leave.
Denmark appears to be serious about the use of alternative energy sources, as these wind turbans would indicate.
