Copenhagen sparkles in the Nyhavn area. Seemed awesome to get reflections in the canal. Looks very Hansiatic to us — feels like we have come full circle from Bergen!The Harbor Bus ferry was the most convenient method of transportation for us — one block from apartment, scenic, and went to major spots along the inner harbor.The Royal Library, 1906, and the new, 1999 — dubbed ‘The Black Diamond’ — was the first stop on the ferry. This was worth exploring as was the adjacent Danish Architectural CenterThe Great Viewpoint in ‘The Black Diamond’ library. An intricate floorplan view as well as being able to enjoy a connection to the harbor.With an equally tantalizing view of the harbor, we enjoyed the Danish Architecture Center. Our swan chair was on display in the upper left — designed by Arne Jacobsen in the Danish modern style in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel. We also learned more about Danish architect Jørn Utzon,who designed Sydney Opera House — his sketch upper right.We enjoyed the design of the Opera House and wandering around the park adjacent to it.Of course we had to visit The Little Mermaid. We were salmon working our way upstream of all the cruise ship passengers but we waited our turn to get a photo.We spent an amazing day at the National Museum. Very detailed, organized, well displayed — we appreciated our time there. This room of Rune Stones was good and had the translation of the carving so we could better understand what we were seeing.The beautiful Carlsberg Glyptotek art museum was another wonderful highlight we visited — with a great French Impressionist collection. We enjoyed the Bronze Dancers by Edgar Degas, cast from the original wax forms.We like finding these aerial views of the city. We are across the inner harbor from the main center of town, in Islands Brygge. The red dot area being the Royal Library — first stop by water bus ferry.Our wonderful skyline view just a block from the inner harbor. This is a great apartment.Tivoli Gardens is THE amusement park — before Disney — and we supposed a must see destination. “A Kind of Magic”…We enjoyed the lights and the reflections. We wandered around –“Don’t Stop Me Now” — over to the Glass Hall, built in 1946 — for a bit of “Bohemian Rhapsody”…Our “Night At the Opera” with “Killer Queen”…We Will Rock You — Another One Bites The Dust — Radio Ga-Ga — Under Pressure — We Are The Champions: performed by UK-Queen. An epic ending to our Nordic adventure with “This Crazy Little thing Called Love”.
