A visit to Copenhagen

After a year full of scout camps we decided to leave Switzerland for a change. Just a weekend somewhere else in Europe. On friday morning we went to the airport and to the Swiss booking office. The lady there asked us where we wanted to go and we asked her to book the next free flight in Europe for us. She was a little confused and told us she couldn't. So we went to check the timetable and saw that the next plane went to Copenhagen. Back to the booking office to buy two tickets to Copenhagen. We had to hurry to the gate and when we arrived there we had to wait for about 40 mins becaues the plane couldn't land without sight in the fog.
After a short flight we arrived at Copenhagen Airport, at Kastrup. By train we went to the city looked for a hotel (which was not that easy bacause it was a Music Festival that weekend and every hotel was full) and luckily we found one. The last room in hotel Ansgar. And then we went to discover the City. Two days weren't enough to discover all the beauty of this interesting city but it was enough to get fascinated and get an impression about it.
They were crazy of building towers and castels. It was really impressive and I'm sure I'll go back some day. But first I'll go to Vienna next month :-)
I'll leave you some photos to share with you:

Tivoli


The City hall


The black diamond


The stock exchange. 127 meters long...


...with a very special tower. Four dragons with their tails entangled


The famous Nyhavn


Nyhavn 17


Frederikskirke - unfortunately the church was closed for a wedding so I couldn't have a look inside. It must be great!


Amalienborg - the royal family's home


A fountain


The Mermaid


A nice building (in the military base)


Ansgar, the founder of Copenhagen


In the Bistro at the Mainstation nobody has to sit alone at the table, there is a cute Carlsberg-guy waiting to have company
