Copenhagen, 10 reasons to love it

A CITY IN BLOOM
"Florist" is a definition that does not do justice to Tage Andersen. Pay a visit to his shop is a bit 'like walking into a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, Tage because it is a true artist, with a career of over 40 years behind. And the word "genius" is the best way to describe his art! Begins the discovery here: tage-andersen.com.

A BEAUTIFUL BEACH
Hard to find Copenhagen in the top ten of your beach destinations, yet less than five miles south of downtown is one of the most beautiful beaches in Denmark. Let's talk about Amager Strandpark, a long expanse of white that winds through the dunes and hidden lagoons. Be careful, though: to serve swim steel arms and a wetsuit in the cold.

THE FOOD IS YOUR CALLING
The capital's culinary reputation has taken a leap forward in 2010, when Rene Redzepi's Noma has been designated Best Restaurant in the World by the influential Restaurant Magazine. Of course, this is only one of the choices. Not bad, even the 1.th, near the waterfront, where Mette Martinussen awaits you for an unforgettable experience, halfway between the party and the live performance.

LIFE IS FREE
The free community of Christiania is loved and hated in Copenhagen. Depending on your point of view. Founded in 1971 by a group of hippies, extends to over 300,000 m2 and follows its own rules and regulations. There is also a bicycle shop, a school, jazz clubs and cafés, but especially Christiania is a mecca for artists. Over the years he has several times threatened to be dismantled for the outrageous conduct of its inhabitants. Odi et amo is the right mood for this utopia on earth.

SWEETS AND HIS GLORY
The bakeries in Copenhagen are full, but try to ask for a "Danish" and you respond with a smile, amazed. The fact is that here is called Wienerbrød, because it was introduced in the mid-nineteenth century by the Viennese pastry. the most good ones are filled with cream and covered in icing and are from La Glace (3-5 Skoubogade). Slurp!

ART KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES
Inside dell'Arken (Skovvej 1 Ishøj), the museum of reference for contemporary art in the city, piles of rubble are against the walls, and every surface is covered with spray colors. The show is awesome and hand, if one can say so, it is the German artist Katharina Grosse. Must see to believe.

HIS CHANNEL
Can not speak to Copenhagen without a tribute to his channel. Were traced between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when the city's wealth depended on trade. Although large merchant ships are a thing of the past, to see the sun go down slow on these waterways is one of the best experiences in the city.

BEER, A SERIOUS
Hard to find a Dane who does not love beer. One of our favorite places to enjoy it is the micro-brewery Nørrebro Bryghus (Ryesgade 3), whose mission is "To ensure that the Danes are proud of their culture due to the beer." Success is guaranteed.

BREATHTAKING VIEWS
Built as an observatory in 1642, the Rundetaarn is one of the landmarks in the city. From here you can enjoy an incomparable view of the red roofs of Copenhagen. From the street a ramp leads up to the tower by taking a spiral. An follow it, but the best is waiting for you at the top. Where to find the Rundetaarn? Købmagergade 52A.

smørrebrød MANIA
Slices of rye bread covered with meat, smoked fish, cheese or paté: This wonderful "sandwich" is the best companion of the Danish lunches from time immemorial. For the connoisseur there are at least two references in the city: Ida Davidsen (Store Kongensgade 70) and Aamanns (Øster Farimagsgade 10). The first is an institution since 1888, the second interprets the tradition in modern shags, but without giving up a crumb, it is appropriate to say, quality.
