Good bye Iceland, hello Copenhagen

We said good bye to Iceland early in the morning at around 7am and board Finair to Copenhagen, a transit stopover before going home. In Copenhagen, we have a stopover of more than 7 hrs so we decided to go out and take a walk around Copenhagen. 

We bought the Copenhagen city card at the airport and took the metro to Kongens Nytorv station which is about 15 mins ride away from the airport. From there, it’s a short walk to Amalienborg which is like the Royal Palace of Denmark. 

A guard on duty. 

The flag flying on top of the building indicate a royalty was inside the building. 

Next to the royal palace is this marble building church called Frederik’s church. 

Quite impresssive building. 
From the royal palace, it’s about 20 mins walk to the famous iconic structure, the little mermaid.

Here she was, looking so pretty and forlorn as though she was waiting for someone....

It was quite crowded as many ppl wanted to take picture with her. 

It felt so different here in Denmark after being constantly battered by the wind, rain and snow in Iceland for a week. Here, the weather feels so calm and tranquil.

A eerie looking church which looks like sth our of a Grimms brother story...haha

One of the water taxi which is covered by the Copenhagen city card.

Notice most of the architecture here had this spiral turret thing.

Tivoli, an iconic place in Copenhagen is a well known amusement park. Din get the chance to go in due to time constraint.

Standing in the city hall square is the nice looking building known as the Jens Olsen Astronomical clock. Entry is free but we did not have the time....

A statue of my favorite storywriter, Hans Christian Anderson.

Standing against Nyhavn, a popular and iconic harbour. The colourful houses stacked closely together along the river  reminds me of Amsterdam....

Back to Nongens Nytorv metro to go back to the airport. There was this departmental store near the metro, but did not get the time to go inside. Copenhagen is quite a nice and easy place to walk around. Maybe if I have the chance, I might wana come again....
