If DisneyLand is the happiest place on earth, Copenhagen goes right after it for the coveted position. The quality of life, the people, the rythm, the style, the shops and the magical feeling that you get whilst there make this city the place to be.
The freezing cold weather (because trust me, it is like swimming in a frozen lake) is rapidly compensated by the warm people that welcome you with open arms and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. It might sound a bit corny and over the top but I just felt that way while I was there and I highly recommend the experience.
From the unlawful Christiania, a commune in the centre of the city where some go to smoke marihuana, some go to run, some go to eat, but mainly, the smart ones go to live escaping from society and rules; to the harbor, the Royal Palace, the Operaen, Nørrebro (where the cool bars are) and Vesterbro (full of bars and night life); Copenhagen will take your breath away (and not because of the low temperature).
The Royal Palace. Beautiful Sky.
Copenhagen Opera House on the island of Holmen. It looked much better at night. I'd recommend taking a short cruise, that takes you around the canals, at night or dusk.
The Harbor
Cozy neighborhood at a walking distance from the Royal Palace
Tivoli Park. One of the oldest amusement parks in the world. It was closed for the season but we got a peek from the outside and it's quite enchanting.
The Lake at Christiania. I would also live in a commune surrounded by such a beautiful landscape.
And last but not least, the Rødgrød med fløde (which translates to Berry pudding with cream). It is a typical Danish dessert and the funniest word I've ever heard. Velbekomme! (Bon appetit!)
My friend Katrine is one of the happiest and most natural people I know. She's Danish, and you can tell :) Just saying...
