Visit Wonderful Copenhagen, Denmark - One of Europe's Oldest Capitals

My Own Personal 'Happy Place'

I may be pledging my citizenship to Sweden, but if the truth be told, I'd move to Copenhagen in a heart beat if anything ever happened to my husband. Why? Because it is flat the most awesome city on earth. I have been a whole lot of places in this big wide world of ours, but when that airplane touches back down at CPH in Denmark, I want to kiss the ground. Copenhagen flat rawks hard.

Copenhagen wasn't always the capital of Denmark. The original capital of Denmark was actually in what is now Sweden. After the Danish-Swedish wars back in the middle-ages, Copenhagen got named capital, and it is one of Europe's oldest capital cities. Walking along the streets of this great city, the history is palpable. The atmosphere here is a combination of modern civilization and Old World charm. I am forever extolling the virtues of living in my small Swedish village, and I do love it ever so much, but my heart really starts pumping when I get of the Train at Central Station in the heart of Copenhagen's action. The place is a wonderland of sights and sounds.

Being a great fan of spending my husband's paycheck frivolously, Stroget is my happy place. Stroget is comprised of four streets - Frederiksberggade, Vimmelskaftet, Amagertorv and Ostergade. It is cobblestone streets lined with delightful boutiques for as far as the eye can see. Every budget class is represented here, so there really is something for every level of shopper. The Danish are well known for their quality merchandise, so shop with confidence that cool sweater you just picked up will last you through many winters. In fact, pick up all your winter gear while here. It is some of the finest in the world. The folks of Scandinavia deal with seriously harsh weather in the winter and have figured out the best way to make warm yet light-weight snow clothing. Buy it. I don't even own any winter clothing from the States anymore. The stuff over here just surpasses it in every way.
