College Study Trip 2004 | Amagertorv, one of the nicest public spaces |
Visited Copenhagen for 7 days with fellow students from Cardiff University. Involved a fair bit of advance research and planning - there are lots of things to see in Copenhagen. It is a pedestrian and bicycle orientated city and is a shame to rush it!Took a boat ride around the harbour on the first afternoon. It was a good way to see the Little Mermaid. Spent three whole days cycling around on a lurid red 'city bike'. That is a 'must' for any visitor - it was super to have such a bike friendly city after spending my whole adult life dodging traffic and abuse in not-so-bike-friendly Cardiff! But gosh was I saddle sore afterwards... One day was spent in Malmö, Sweden, which involved taking the train across the incredible Øresund bridge. I spent a Saturday at Louisiana, the labyrinthine modern art gallery at Humlebæk. Great views of Sweden on a clear day, very picturesque and tranquil. And superb art collection. |

Thank you. I'll definitely remember to watch my head when taking a boat tour. | diocletianvs Thu Sep 13, 2007 16:25 UTC
At some points I felt like you were describing my stay in CPH (going with students, going to Malmo and Luisiana, the boat trip, staying in Cab Inn....) LOL at almost losing your head under the bridge - that also almost happened to me! | Mariajoy Mon Jul 24, 2006 20:09 UTC
Thanks for the info re The Cab Inn - looks like that's where we will be staying on our visit there! Must remember those vegetarian places too! Cheers bigears! ;-) | barryg23 Fri Jun 9, 2006 07:24 UTC
