And the fairytale continues. A tragic day welcomes the undersigned, his beloved Benny el 'inseparable Montse, the port of Copenhagen, including the persistent drizzle and the sky plumbelo the sea in the Straits of Oresund plowed by mechanical scythes of new wind energy, rotating on white monsters a dark blue coat.
Kobenhavn in Danish is undoubtedly the greenest city in Europe 's most cosmopolitan among the Scandinavian sisters, least of all Scandinavian and Baltic most of all. A wonderful mix that contrasts with the character of its people proud and austere.
Denmark and invaded a land dispute, shortage of great natural beauty of Norway or Sweden, there is no rock shelter from wet and cold winds of the North Sea, yet there hitherto arms fire of the Gulf Stream of Mexico, which make it more pleasant climate but also more unstable.
And so Copenhaguen welcomes us to the port .... Once we go immediately to one of the "must see" city: the phantasmagoric Tivoli Park, a few meters from Central Station.
The rain has stopped falling, the temperature has risen, the night is falling slowly in the north, the elves wake up, peek out the elves, fairies dancing merrily, the park wakes up and revealed his fabulous soul concerts, theater outdoors, playground, craft shops, attractions thrilling and terrifying monsters, lakes uncensored, much green .. really nice and charming.
The 'entry costs 10 euros, but worth it!
Copenhaguen in Danish means "harbor merchants or purchase, in fact always been the 'soul of this town overlooking the Baltic sea and in the broad sense, a soul time to trade. Founded by Bishop Absalon en 1100, remained in second place in the Danish capital of the kingdom, Roskilde, until 1400 when the great King Christian IV decided that the city was prepared to bear the honor and the right to be capital of the kingdom of Denmark. The city so adorned and enriched the coffers of the kingdom but were soon empty, the war of Trent 'Anni was a disaster and the expansionist ambitions of the king had come back in the drawer, and the role of Denmark remained marginal compared to the arrogance of Sweden.
Andersen arrived with his beautiful and frightening tales began in '800 l' age d 'Oro from the cultural point of view and in the late 900, all of Denmark became a symbol and example of well-being, ecological awareness and respect for the rights of man .
The city grows on the eastern side of the island or peninsula Zealand, and looks into the eyes of Swedish Malmoe. Live on various channels real or artificial, and reflects the architectural characteristics across Europe.

Its symbol is the Little Mermaid, or Den Lille havfrue (woman of the port) ... born from the pages of a fairy tale, and greets everyone hello 'boats and tourists now flock to photographer and not much of a girlfriend, 's around is silly but get there requires a stroll from the center.

The city is suontuoso and monumental as Vienna, where the Royal Palace houses the oldest monarchy in Europe still exists, most of the Bourbons, the Savoy more .. s useless Hardegon here are the descendants of the fierce Vikings who invaded in the 9th century Jutland and declared that King Gorm the Old, the first king of Denmark. The dynasty continues today ....
Let the sumptuousness of palaces, you get to Nyhavn, the channel more tourism but more characteristic of Copenhagen, seems to Amsterdam or Bruges, a beautiful and colorful, full of restaurants and cafes, museum and docked boats, bridges the usual photo, typical "post cards" of the city.
Storget however, is the longest pedestrian street in Europe 's sin was Sunday and nobody was around, but the long walk to get to Rundetarm is served, the oldest astronomical tower of Europe' s up to the Parliament Building, Christiansborg , home to countless museums, fantastic green parks, fountains and beautiful piazzas. Among the most beautiful, do not miss the park's National Library, a beautiful swirl of green and flowers in front of a facade architecturally spectacular.

Squares and other channels are constantly interchanging between old and new, different styles are mixed in this city that reminds everyone a 'other city, Berlin, Amsterdam, Vienna or Prague, Stockholm, Gdansk and Hamburg, Copenhagen attracts all the styles of the north Europe, soul merchant, hospitable and tolerant.

Finally a nod to the sublime salmon salad with potatoes and herring, the sumptuous coffee and pastries trasbordanti cream and chocolate, bread and soft good grandmother, and a final nod to the Danish krone: thought we did a massacre on our accounts , today the Euro this iron has not really more enemies.

Goodbye beautiful Copenhagen, I'm going to read a fiabetta your beloved king.
