Copenhagen – InstaTour through the world’s best capital

When Bo, architect and tour guide, talks about his city, the word “world’s best” comes up again and again. They want to become the world’s best cycling city, they already have the world’s best restaurant and if you believe various surveys, it is also the city with the world’s best quality of life. One thing quickly becomes clear, we can take a leaf out of the book of the Danes’ self-confidence. Where we Swiss fail again and again in our search for the perfect solution and self-criticism, the Danes succeed in their forward thrust and pragmatism. We took a closer look at the world’s best cycle paths and found that in many places there are still gaps or only moderately successful connections. But that’s not the point. It’s simply a matter of attitude. And that’s why today I’m pleading for a little more self-confidence and show you my snapshots from Copenhagen.

We bike Copenhagen

The most obvious means of transport to make Copenhagen unsafe. But be careful, there is a lot of traffic on the bike paths.

Colorful houses, cobblestones and bicycles – the typical appearance of the old town

The many restaurants in Nyhavn are suitable for a short lunch break – e.g. the historic Cap Horn with excellent cuisine

Right next to the Nyhavn, opposite the opera house, is the new RoyalTheatre with a magnificent glass façade (through which I :) made this rather confused-looking picture). The building was designed by the Danish firm Lundgaard & Tranberg and has received various awards.

Copenhagen is crisscrossed by glittering water arms that reach far into the city. The main canal, which flows into the Öresund, is served by public water taxis that connect the districts. Equally important are the numerous pedestrian and bicycle bridges.
