An evening at Tivoli Gardens…

Day two started rather smoothly.

A three weeks tour around Denmark is a marathon, not a sprint and we figured we didn’t need to be out and about as soon as the sun rose, although I was awake when the first rays appeared over the horizon.

We left the apartment a little before noon, well rested and ready for a second round.

David suggested that we went to Tivoli Gardens, because the last time we had visited it together, it was in late September, and not quite as impressive as we imagined it would be in May.

I agreed, but we had second thoughts, when we arrived near the entrance;

It was Sunday, and the weather was nice, so of course, we weren’t the only ones who got that idea. We didn’t feel like waiting to get in the park, and it would probably be way too crowded anyway, so our visit was postponed to the evening, hoping to catch a few pictures of the park all lit up.

So, instead, we stopped at Copenhagen’s Central train station to grab some lunch, and decided to go to one of my favorite spots; Kultorvet.

We walked along one of the (if not the) best known streets of Copenhagen: Strøget. If you like shopping, this is the place for you!

I’m not much of a Gucci or Prada girl, or a shopper in general, and much prefer these less crowded allées, with their older and colorful buildings!

We also walked by Rundetarn (The Round Tower), a must, on your to-do list if you ever visit the capital.

One of the reasons I wanted to go to Kultorvet, was to visit my favorite cheese store: Osten Ved Kultorvet… Unfortunately, it was closed, and we’ll have to go again today. I can’t wait to meet with the owner again. I’ve come here for a piece of Viking Blue and Fyremester cheese on each of my previous trips, and even if it’s been four years, I still hope Mikael will remember ”the girl from Canada”, hehehehe.

Because it was just around the corner, we made a detour to take a few pictures of the apartment I had stayed at with J, in 2017.

Souvenirs, souvenirs…

Since we still had time on our hands before a second attempt at entering Tivoli Gardens, we decided to give Copenhagen’s ”Believe it or not” museum. Because traveling doesn’t need to be serious at all times, right?

An egg the equivalent of 183 chicken eggs… My worst nightmare!

We also tried the Hans Christian Andersen Experience… But… Hum, not quite worth it, if you already know pretty much anything about the legend already. Keep your kroners for something more exciting, hehehehe.

It was finally time to go back to Tivoli, but not before having one of these equally beautiful and delicious Smørrebrød! Yum!!

.

Finally Tivoli… I’ll let you scroll through the pictures! I really wanted to get great pictures with all the evening lights on, but the Danish sun is a tricky one. And it just won’t go to sleep. Even if the Internets said it was supposed to be in bed by 8:59 PM, it still was asking for a glass of water by 9:15, when we finally left…

  2. Such good photos C. I know I have been down that shopping street when I was in Denmark with my daughter But we were there to buy a horse and so we didn’t do any other shopping. We did get a horse and he was a very good one. my Daughter had much success with him. He had been trained by a Danish man by the name of Hasse Hoffman.
