General impressions of life with the sea and tourism in Copenhagen

Copenhagen is located at the sea and has many inner harbours. The small city ports are multi purpose: cruise ships, military vessels, fisher boats, yachts and sailing boats. The sea is a major source of economic activity for Copenhagen. Just outside the city they produce green electricity with gigantic wind mills.

We like how Copenhagen is adding modern art and colourful displays to its city centre full of classical buildings. It gives it a younger touch, something playful. Just looks at the internet pyramids, the billboards, the taxis, the Viking trolls…

Most squares in Copenhagen are busy. Tourists look at the historical architecture and enjoy a snack or drink at one of the small antique kiosks. Such a round kiosk with their cute tower is just big enough to have one sales person in it. Copenhagen is a good destination for a city trip but less on Mondays when many of the point of interests are closed.

Kopenhagen is gelegen aan de zee en heeft vele binnenhavens. De kleine stadshavens lenen zich tot verschillende activiteiten: aanleg van Cruiseschepen, militaire boten, jachten, vissloepen en zeilboten. De zee is een belangrijke bron van inkomsten en economische activiteit voor Kopenhagen. Net buiten de stad, in zee, zie je de productie van elektriciteit via reuze windmolens. 

We vinden het leuk hoe Kopenhagen moderne kunst en kleurvolle elementen aan zijn klassiek getinte stad toevoegt. Het geeft het een jongere toets, iets speels. Als voorbeeld verwijzen we naar de kleurrijke internet piramides, de reclameborden, de taxi’s, de Viking trollen… 

De meeste pleinen van Kopenhagen zijn druk bezocht. Toeristen kijken naar de mooie historische architectuur en genieten van een snack of drankje aan kleine antieke kiosken. Deze kiosken met hun torentje zijn net groot genoeg voor één verkoper in te plaatsen. Kopenhagen is een leuke stad voor een city trip maar minder op maandag wanneer er vele bezienswaardigheden gesloten zijn..

  3. Interesting to read and to see. The kiosk is unique, indeed! Windmills in the sea are not my favorites but I always feel a lot better about them than about atomic plants... Once again great pics that make the atmosphere of the city perceptible! Christa

  9. What a surprise to see the windfarm, we have them here also, a necessity I know but sadly they do spoil the view and upset the wildlife.!

  16. I still prefer the old architecture. There is lots of commercialism. I do like the windmills and I have never seen one in the waters. It makes for a unique view.
