Copenhagen
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | As we get to know Copenhagen, we'll discover reminders of its Viking history and see reflections today of its proudly independent ways. We'll stroll down Europe's first great pedestrian boulevard, ogle crown jewels in the palace treasury, and take a bike ride through an inspirational hippie squatter community, finishing at Copenhagen's full-time carnival, Tivoli Gardens. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #copenhagen

I'm Brazilian and I'll probably never visit Europe. That's why I love these videos. They allow me to travel without moving and appreciate cities that are very different from the one I live in.

It's interesting to see Rick's travelogues. He lives in the places he visits. He absorbs the city, meets local guides, and studies the place until he's really a part of it, not just someone detached. It's a great way to travel. It's for the experience, not just a tick on a bucket list.
My grandpa’s parents lived outside of Copenhagen on the island of Zealand but moved to Copenhagen in 1890 for better work opportunities before finally leaving for America. Grandpa returned and lived there for three years. He missed it so much. After watching this program and the one about the rest of Denmark I can understand why he did and why it was important for him to instill in us his family a love for Denmark and all things Danish. Thank you for these wonderful shows.🙏🇩🇰

I was in 2 minds about visiting Copenhagen next month, but Rick Steves' charming review just inspired me to book it. As the man says: 'Keep on travelling!'
It is good to see the older couple in the background (17:43). In Norway we say: "Old love will never be rusty". Today, disagreements over differences such as how to use a toothpaste tube (a little excessive), lead to divorce. Many young people talk about that the chemistry have to be the same. By that, many think that the other must be completely like me, which is impossible to achieve. Learn to live with the other's small mistakes, and think about what you can do for the other, not what he or she can do for you. If it is about large problems, wait for both to be calm (not excited), then talk peacefully together. Feel free to start the conversation with what you could have done better. Have a happy marriage!
Beautiful, beautiful Copenhagen.!!!!. I had the good luck to be a visitor to Copenhagen. I loved it. Wish I could go back. But that's not going to happen... Sadly. I wish , you'd show the Marble church, . Kronborg castle. Tivoli Gardens. Its like being in paradise. My most cherished and loved holiday ever. Also the other castles... Just a beautiful world. Love it, love it love it. God bless Copenhagen.... I would definitely recommend this is a place to visit....
Traveling in Copenhagen, wow, friendly city. regards.
No wonder the locals are so happy, they truly have the best of both rural and urban living, it's the best balance of the two I've ever experienced at least!
