Disney Cruise Baltic Sea: Copenhagen
Colorful buildings by the Nyhavn’s sunny side. One of these were inhabited by Hans Christian Andersen.
Our Disney Cruise adventure started in Copenhagen, Denmark. Here, my family and I did our very own exploring through its famous canals. Upon arriving at the Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, we proceeded to our hotel called Hotel Alexandra where we would spend the night before embarking on our Disney cruise and went around Copenhagen by foot.
Touchdown Copenhagen with its City Hall in the background. The weather was perfect for exploring the city.
I love the different kick knacks that you can find in the European flea market.
Shopping galore at the Støget.
We were blesses with beautiful sunny weather in Copenhagen as we ventured on to the Nyhaven. The great storyteller, Hans Christian Andersen used to live in No. 18 and No. 20.
A visit to Copenhagen wouldn't be complete without a trip to its canals ... and so we went to one.
Excited to see get on board the canal cruise.
Stunning danish architecture.
The Standard is a Michelin-starred restaurant that offers the very best of Nordic cuisine.
If you're a design enthusiast like me, you'll surely want to drop by the Danish Architecture Center.
The Holmens Church is the oldest piece of Renaissance structure in Copenhagen.
If you're up to a good climb, take the 400 steps to the top of the Church of Our Saviour, one of Denmark's popular churches.
Cruising along the Christianhavn and Holmen and see colorful buildings along the canals.
In such great weather like this, who would want to stay indoors?
The Amalienborg Palace is still very much in use by the Royals of Copenhagen.
Structures alongside the waterfront give more scope to the eye.
Denmark's most famous statue of the Little Mermaid is swarmed with people who want to take a glimpse of this fairy tale.
The Trekroner Sea Fortress was the sight for military barracks for the Danish Navy.
The Royal Danish Opera House is not to be missed if you want to watch a great show.
The old world charm stand side by side with more modern architecture.
We spent an entire day exploring Copenhagen before hitting the sack in preparation for our Disney Cruise. The next time we visited Copenhagen was when our Disney Cruise ended on its seventh day. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't as good as the day we first arrived, but we still enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.
The Kongens Nytorv or otherwise called the King's New Square is a cobbled pedestrian passageway.
Picturesque pedestrian alleys such as these make walking a breeze.
The Tivoli Gardens served as the Walt Disney's inspiration for Disneyland.
I couldn't leave Copenhagen without at least savoring a Danish pastry at the famous Lagkagehuset.
The girls just went gaga over this store.
Shelter from the rain means a coffee break for Alex and hot chocolate for the girls and me.
I just love these cobbled squares.
Even if we only had minimal time in Copenhagen, we would come back to do more exploring and sightseeing. In my case, I would definitely want to go back and concentrate on Danish style and architecture. This place is just oozing with great elements of design.
