First impressions of Copenhagen, Denmark.
We were pleasantly surprised by the number of tourist attractions and historical landmarks in Copenhagen.
From the world's oldest amusement park, Tivoli Garden, to the picturesque Nyhavn lined with colorful buildings and a beautiful canal.
If you are looking for things to do in Copenhagen, the city got something for everyone!
We also tried some traditional and famous Danish food such as Danish pastries, hot dogs, and smørrebrød (Danish open sandwich). Everything was delicious! We opt for more budget friendly places, rather than fancy restaurants because Denmark, especially Copenhagen is expensive!
Check out our Copenhagen city tour and food tour!

    Norwegian here living in Oslo. Copenhagen is by far the best city in Scandinavia. I lived there for 2 years and i loved it. I think it might be one of the best cities in the world. Beautiful, not to big nor small, liberal, safe, clean, fun easy to navigate, good wellfare for sll citizens, great food, beers and compared to the rest of Scandinavia and aspecially Norway, it is not a Nanny state..
  • @gousriracha9018
    I'm Swedish and even I think Copenhagen is the best in the nordics :P
  • @JJ-fromDK
    You guys sitting on the railing of the canal at Nyhavn and you pulling a beer from your pocket, is a true danish move hahaha
  • @tevlar
    As a Swede i like the atmosphere in Denmark more than Sweden, its just more relaxed somehow.
  • @hollowmade
    As a Swede, I enjoy Copenhagen way more than Stockholm.
  • @oyuyuy
    All the bikes you pointed at were locked, I think you're just unfamiliar with the style of locks! 😉It's like a frame-fixed lock with a small rod that locks in place
  • @jettenielsen4951
    About Børsen, they were able to save almost half of the building. That part do have some water and smoke damage, but is otherwise intact. The plan is to rebuild not replace with something new. Happy that my home city left you with a good impression.
  • @olsa76
    I actually think churches are underrated by tourists. I usually use them as a place to rest my feet and get some peace and quiet for a while, which is extra nice when you, as a tourist, are on your feet all day. Sit down for 10-15 minutes and you will have recharged your batteries a bit. You don't have to be a believer to appreciate the tranquility of a church.
  • @jensjensen4836
    as a Dane i will recommend you to eat the smørrebrød with a beer on the side next time.

    #9:23 This is the Royal Guard walking from their baraks to the royal residence in order to relieve the current guard at the palace.
  • @PUAlum
    you might have noticed the references to the Danes rescuing most of the Jews in Copenhagen and smuggling them to safety in Sweden. An amazing accomplishment of the Danish resistance.
  • @andreanecchi5930
    As a child I always went to Copenhagen, I loved that city, I recommend everyone to go to the Bakken amusement park
  • @DNSxDK
    As a Copenhagener, I can inform you that all bikes are infact locked :D If you don’t lock your bike, you can be almost a 100% sure it will be stolen. I read somewhere that bikes are the most frequently stolen item in Copenhagen..
  • Was born and raised in Copenhagen. I'm 42, but in my younger years I wanted to leave so badly. It felt way to cramped and boring. After I tried the whole living abroad thing for a couple of years, I moved back to Copenhagen and I fell in love with my city and my country again. And I loving seeing videos like yours too remind me of how incredibly lucky I am that I get to live here my whole life and even being able to take beauty, security and education for granted. I love my city. ❤❤
  • Nice video. My grandfather was in the Danish resistance during WW2. As a child I loved listening to all his stories from the war.
  • @zzzae
    As a Swede from Malmö I wholeheartedly agree that Copenhagen is the best city in the Nordics. I always end up feeling slightly underwhelmed and disappointed whenever I visit Stockholm.
  • @Thjaaa
    Copenhagen Central Station is built so high because it is so old that it was from that time that steam locomotives were used
  • @MaverickGamerM
    It's cool to see what Denmark is like, my great-grandfather was a Dane from Viborg but I never had the experience of going there, it's cool to see through this video how people live their lives
  • @Sonarctica
    I don't think anyone would blame you for picking Copenhagen as your favourite city in the Nordics
  • @ludenunes6606
    As a kid I had the dream of moving to Denmark. Sure, I didn't know much about the country, but everything I heard about it was good enough to foster that dream. Now I've moved on from that goal, but still I keep some fondness for the country and still hope to visit it one day (and learn the language).
