5. Route 66
Whatever music you're into,
Route 66 is the place to go if you
want to buy records whilst in the
Danish capital. From pop to jazz
to hip hop, there's a variety of
vinyls and CDs for you to choose
from, and is also home also a very
good sale section at the front of
the shop in which second-hand
items in great condition are sold
for crazy low prices.
1. The city's primary
mode of transport is
cycling
If you're not too fond of big
cities packed with cars or
the road-raging drivers that
cruise the streets of Paris, then
Copenhagen is definitely the
place for you. Cycling is so
popular they even have parking
devoted to bikes, and you can't
walk anywhere without seeing
cyclist after cyclist leisurely
roaming the streets. It makes it
very easy to walk around the city
too, as there are very few cars on
the roads. Absolute bliss.
3. The Little Mermaid
We all know The Little Mermaid
from the iconic Disney movie, but
the original mermaid resides by
the seaside in Copenhagen. The
bronze statue is on a rock at the
Langelinie promenade, and is
based on the Hans Christian An-
dersen story about the legendary
sea creature.
2. Copenhagen Zoo
and Aquarium
Everyone loves cute animals and
underwater creatures, so Co-
penhagen Zoo and Aquarium
are a must if you're in the city.
The zoo has a great Red Panda
enclosure, polar bears, and a
massive variety of monkeys - to
name but a few. Then Den Bla
Planet, Copenhagen's aquarium,
contains some of the most ador-
able sea creatures around – with
a highlight being the outdoor
pool for sea lions.
4. Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli Gardens is Copenhagen's
most spectacular sight - and
convieniantly in the centre of the
city, right next to the main train
station. In the day, you can ride
stomach-churning rides, sample
local cuisine and see wild pea-
cocks and cats roaming free.
Then at night everything is lit
up in stunning neon light, and
there's a stage in the middle of
the gardens where performers
entertain you throughout the
early hours. It was the theme
park that inspired Disneyland, so
it's an absolute must.
