Copenhagen, Denmark - Gråbrødretorv (2018)
Gråbrødretorv is a public square in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark, just off the pedestrian street Strøget.
Copenhagen is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. The city has a population of 775,033 (as of January 2018), of whom 613,288 live in the Municipality of Copenhagen and the Copenhagen urban area has a population of 1,308,893 (as of January 2018). Copenhagen is situated on the eastern coast of the island of Zealand; another small portion of the city is located on Amager, and is separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the strait of Øresund. The Øresund Bridge connects the two cities by rail and road.
Originally a Viking fishing village founded in the 10th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. Beginning in the 17th century it consolidated its position as a regional centre of power with its institutions, defences and armed forces. After suffering from the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After further disasters in the early 19th century when Horatio Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and bombarded the city, rebuilding during the Danish Golden Age brought a Neoclassical look to Copenhagen's architecture. Later, following the Second World War, the Finger Plan fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes stretching out from the city centre.
Since the turn of the 21st century, Copenhagen has seen strong urban and cultural development, facilitated by investment in its institutions and infrastructure. The city is the cultural, economic and governmental centre of Denmark; it is one of the major financial centres of Northern Europe with the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Copenhagen's economy has seen rapid developments in the service sector, especially through initiatives in information technology, pharmaceuticals and clean technology. Since the completion of the Øresund Bridge, Copenhagen has become increasingly integrated with the Swedish province of Scania and its largest city, Malmö, forming the Øresund Region. With a number of bridges connecting the various districts, the cityscape is characterised by parks, promenades and waterfronts. Copenhagen's landmarks such as Tivoli Gardens, The Little Mermaid statue, the Amalienborg and Christiansborg palaces, Rosenborg Castle Gardens, Frederik's Church, and many museums, restaurants and nightclubs are significant tourist attractions. The largest lake of Denmark, Arresø, lies around 27 miles (43 kilometers) northwest of the City Hall Square.
Copenhagen is home to the University of Copenhagen, the Technical University of Denmark and Copenhagen Business School. The University of Copenhagen, founded in 1479, is the oldest university in Denmark. Copenhagen is home to the FC København and Brøndby football clubs. The annual Copenhagen Marathon was established in 1980. Copenhagen is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world.
The Copenhagen Metro launched in 2002 serves central Copenhagen while the Copenhagen S-train and Lokaltog (private railway) and the Coast Line network serves and connects central Copenhagen to outlying boroughs. To relieve traffic congestion, which is partly the result of increased traffic because of the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link road and rail construction is planned because the narrow 9-9.5 mile isthmus between Roskilde Fjord and Køge Bugt (Køge Bay) forms a traffic bottleneck. The Copenhagen-Ringsted Line will relieve traffic congestion in the corridor between Roskilde and Copenhagen.
Serving roughly two million passengers a month, Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is the busiest airport in the Nordic countries.

Sights of Copenhagen: Gråbrødretorv
This square with buildings dating back as far as 1730 used to be called Ulfeldts square after the Lord Chancellor Corfitz Ulfeldt. After his treason against his brother-in-law Frederik III, a monument of infamy was raised to him in the middle of the square, and in 1841 the square's name was changed to Gråbrødretorv.

Copenhagen Christmas Walk - Christmas Markets in Copenhagen - Copenhagen Travel Vlog
Copenhagen Travel Vlog. It´s December in Copenhagen, Denmark and Christmas is just around the corner. Copenhagen is the city where Maro and Maxi (the hosts of this YouTube Channel) live. We wanted to show you the Copenhagen Christmas Markets, Copenhagen Christmas Decorations and the Copenhagen Christmas atmosphere at this time of the year. Therefore one late afternoon, armed with only the camera on our mobile phones, we took a stroll around Copenhagen City filming Christmas Decorations (called julepynt in Danish), Christmas Markets (called julemarkeder in Danish) while trying to capture the cosy Copenhagen City Christmas atmosphere which we Danes call Hygge! The definition of the Danish word Hygge from Oxford is, a quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture). No matter how we define the word, Christmas and the cold winter weather, is always a good excuse for Hygge in Denmark! Although a video cannot come close to the real atmosphere of Copenhagen during Christmas, we think that we did manage to capture some of the Christmas spirit on the Walking Streets of Copenhagen and at the various Christmas Markets we visited along the way. Areas in Copenhagen we visited include Nyhavn (The Nyhavn Christmas Market), Kongens Nytorv (The Kongens Nytorv Christmas Market) with the world famous Hotel d'Angleterre towering over the market with it´s beautifully decorated walls, Strøget (The Copenhagen walking Street), Pistolstræde, Amagertorv (with the Amagertorv Christmas Market), Gråbrødretorv and Kultorvet. We hope that you will enjoy this Copenhagen Christmas video and the Christmas music we have chosen to play in the background. No video can truly show you the real atmosphere of Copenhagen, the best way to really feel it is to visit! We can highly recommend a visit to Copenhagen a place with so much to see and do, yet still easy to get around!
Watch out for more of our Copenhagen Travel Videos in the future!
Wiki Travel Writes the following about Copenhagen (København), Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and what a million Danes call home. This friendly old girl of a town is big enough to be a metropolis with shopping, culture and nightlife par excellence, yet still small enough to be intimate, safe and easy to navigate. Overlooking the Øresund strait with Sweden just minutes away, it is a cultural and geographic link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia. This is where old fairy tales blend with flashy new architecture and world-class design; where warm jazz mixes with cold electronica from Copenhagen's basements. You'll feel you've seen it all in a day, but could keep on discovering more for months.

Wonderful Copenhagen by Bicycle
Home sweet home :-) Watch me set off from my childhood home in the heart of Copenhagen and bicycle 5.3 km through the charming bicycle-friendly city center doing two errands.
Along they way, I give some historic background for selected locations, though, I don't claim to be a tourist guide. Some highlights of the video include:

0:44 Space efficient bicycle parking hanging by the front wheel
3:05 My favourite square Gråbrødretorv incl. the historic connection with the traitor Mr. Corfits Ulfeldt (1606-1664)
5:19 Some interesting historical facts about the Danish astronomer Ole Rømer (Ole Romer), the first to measure the speed of light. He also assisted in inventing the Fahrenheit temperature scale
7:57 Useful chart for Bicycle Path planning
10:58 Charming Krusemyntegade with copplestones, small houses and trees
15:41 Crossing Strøget, the 1.1 km long main pedestrian promenade influencing city planning domestically and internationally
19:00 Nyhavn, charming new harbour from 17th century
19:14 House of Hans Christian Andersen, where he lived for 16 years and wrote many of his fairy tales
19:25 Bicycling across the nice Inner Harbour Bridge (also called the kissing bridge / kyssebroen) from year 2016 and built only for pedestrians and cyclists
20:18 Copenhagen Opera as seen from the bridge. Also notice the nice Omnium cargo bike zooming by in the opposite direction :-)
24:24 Arriving at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation.
Enjoy the ride!

PS. The video was filmed with a GoPro Hero4 camera place on a gimbal stabilizer and handheld on a short pole. As such, I was bicycling with one hand, not ideal, but handy when wanting to point the camera in different directions.
PPS. The google map link of the route can be viewed here:

Copenhagen Travel Guide - Denmark Unique Experience
Copenhagen Travel Guide - Denmark Unique Experience
Copenhagen (Danish: København) is the capital of Denmark and what a million Danes call home. Copenhagen is big enough to be a metropolis with shopping, culture and nightlife par excellence, yet still small enough to be intimate, safe and easy to navigate. Overlooking the Øresund strait with Sweden just minutes away, it is a cultural and geographic link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia. This is where old fairy tales blend with flashy new architecture and world-class design; where warm jazz mixes with cold electronica from Copenhagen's basements. You'll feel you've seen it all in a day, but could keep on discovering more for months.
If entering the city using the highways, you won't meet a city limit sign saying København (Copenhagen). Instead you'll see Storkøbenhavn, which means Greater Copenhagen. While the original part of Copenhagen is located in a small area by the waterway between Zealand and Amager. Today these are distinctive municipalities, together making up the city's metropolitan area with around 2 million inhabitants. A notable exception is Frederiksberg, an independent municipality with its own mayor and municipal council, located inside Copenhagen. The other boroughs in and around Copenhagen are as follows:
Indre By (Inner City)
Downtown, The Medieval city - a place of many names, but it is the historical heart of Copenhagen, dotted with church spires, historic buildings, narrow alleys and excellent shopping venues.
Christianshavn (Christian's Harbour)
Originally laid out as a working class neighbourhood 300 years ago, it is now a thriving area notable for its many canals. The Freetown of Christiania is situated in the eastern section of Christianshavn, along with the old naval area, turned trendy: Holmen.
Vesterbro (Western Bridge)
This district has evolved tremendously in recent years and is now one of the hippest places to live, with cafes and bars dotted along its main artery, Istedgade.
Frederiksberg
A small town which originally formed around Frederiksberg castle, this area is still a independent municipality. Literally surrounded by the City of Copenhagen, it has preserved a unique, conservative, upscale feel.
Nørrebro (Northern Bridge)
One of the most vibrant parts of Copenhagen, especially along the main artery, Nørrebrogade, with a mix of immigrants, students, and original, working-class Nørrebro inhabitants.
Østerbro (Eastern Bridge)
A cosy neighbourhood north of the centre - less vibrant than Nørrebro and Vesterbro, and less unusual than Frederiksberg. It is the home of the famous Little Mermaid statue, the beautifully preserved Kastellet citadel, and numerous piers for small ferries and large cruise ships. The area west of the train track has
Amager
Once a bastion of the working class, this island, with its own distinct atmosphere, is booming with new development. It is the home of Copenhagen's airport, located in the town of Kastrup and thus named Kastrup Airport.
Northern suburbs
A visit to these green suburbs and Dyrehavsbakken, — the world's oldest running amusement park; Frilandsmuseet — the world's largest open air museum; or canoeing down the Mill River, will leave no doubt that this is an altogether different kind of suburbia. It is often colloquially known to locals as the whisky belt, due to its often well-heeled residents.
Vestegnen
The suburbs west and south of the city, short on attractions apart from the good Arken art museum, it has some good beaches and camping opportunities.

Tivoli Gardens
The Little Mermaid

Amalienborg
