Today is my last day in Copenhagen – a mellow Sunday morning (hyggelig) began with Scandinavian brunch and tolling church bells throughout the city! It’s a magical sound when different bells ring together in perfect harmony!
I’m beginning to get a feel for Copenhagen. It takes a few days in one place to understand local vibes and culture. I met interesting people at brunch – a young, lively, hungry Danish band who were fun but didn’t speak much English, an American couple taking a break from their cruise ship, and visitors from Italy. Strong coffee and fresh food were plentiful!
I didn’t study maps or attractions – just set out on foot to experience what might come. It was a fulfilling, interesting day walking, mingling, and stopping at cafés, galleries, and museums.

Copenhagen is a Green European City with little automobile traffic congestion. In Copenhagen, bicycles rule – it’s how people get around.

The weather was cool – wonderful for walking – with dramatic, overcast skies that formed a colorful backdrop for majestic buildings and sailboats. Thought I would be sailing, not walking, but a change in plans provided some free time, allowing more focus on Copenhagen. I’m grateful for the opportunity to spend a few days submerged in the local lifestyle.
Some photos taken today are attached – mostly uncaptioned. My favorites are the parks with vivid, almost psychedelic green foliage! More later from Prague…
