Itinerary for a weekend in Copenhagen, Denmark

Denmark is a nordic country next to its brotherly rivals, Norway and Sweden. The three countries together make up Scandinavia. Like its neighbors, the country is consistently ranked as one of the happiest in the world. And as the first country to recognize gay marriage as a legal entity in 1989 and a place that enjoys one of the world’s lowest income inequality rates, it is progressive and forward thinking. Copenhagen, meaning “merchant harbor”, is the nation’s capital. It was once home to Hans Christian Anderson, the “Danish Charles Dickens” and author of beloved children’s stories like Cinderella, Thumbelina, and The Ugly Duckling. It is surrounded by the gorgeous Nyhavn River and known for the quintessential Nyrrhaven district or “new harbor” (pronounced “new hound”) that graces the cover of most of Scandinavia’s tourism books. This picturesque area, once the red light district, originally housed sailors and merchants until it was redeveloped to be a cultural hub for Copenhageners and tourists alike. <a href="https://the-anonymous-traveler.medium.com/itinerary-for-a-weekend-in-copenhagen-denmark-8d18d1d5bf72">Click Here</a>
