Are you too old for fairy tales? If you think so, Copenhagen is sure to change your mind.
See the city first from the water. In the harbor sits Denmark"s best-known landmark, the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of the Sea People in search of a human soul in one of Hans Christian Andersen"s beloved fantasies. From the harbor you can get a feel for the attractive "city of green spires".
Copenhagen is a city on a human scale. You"ll usually see them dressed casually, though they are among Europe"s rich people. Danes are taught not to stand out in a crowd. But they do know how to party, especially during holidays. You don"t have to hurry to walk the city"s center in less than an hour. Copenhagen was the first city to declare a street for pedestrians only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.
Stroll away from the harbor along the riverbanks, you"ll see the modest Amalienborg Palace first. Completed in the mid-18th century, it still houses the royal family. The Danish Royal Guard is on duty. At noon, you"ll watch the changing of the guard. The guards are not just for show, however.
To see them having fun, and to have some fun yourself, cross Andersens Boulevard and enter Tivoli Gardens. You won"t be alone. More than five million people a year come here. They come to dance, dine, take in outdoor and indoor concerts, see ballets and laugh at the comedy. One tip: Bring a lot of money. About 20 restaurants are among the city"s most expensive. Even without money, you can still enjoy the proud old trees, the colored night lights and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you are in a fairy tale.
