On this day we had an early evening flight to Prague so we had most of the day to show Ryan more of Copenhagen. We started the day with a tour of Rosenborg Castle and the Danish Crown Jewels. The tour of the castle and the crown jewels are worth seeing. After that it was time for a beer and we found a really nice outdoor spot in the middle of a square. That still gave us enough time to meet David for lunch by his work. For lunch we ended up going to a deli for sandwiches and beer which we took to a bench along one of the canals. The Danes know how to relax. The sun was out and it felt good to sit there watching the tour boats go by. David only had an hour for lunch and time went by too fast. After saying our goodbyes it was off to see more of Copenhagen.
This time we were the ones on the tour boats in the canals. We walked over to Nyhavn and bought tickets for a tour. If you want to see a lot of Copenhagen without walking then the canal tours are the way to go. Along the tour you will see "The Little Mermaid", "Our Saviour Church (which we walked to the top of), The Royal Yacht, many government building, the Navy yard, and the many neighborhoods along the canal. This is a must tour if you are in Copenhagen.
After the tour was more beer and a stop at a hot dog wagon. Kevin's favorite is the French Hot Dog. It is a bun with the end cut off and hollowed out to fit the hot dog. They will put mustard, ketchup, etc inside the bun and then insert the dog. It is very tasty.
What we missed but I have seen many times before were the lakes, Kronenborg Castle, and inside Tivoli.
I have a picture of the bicycles in Copenhagen which is one of the most bike friendly cities in the world.
If the weather was warmer we could have gone to one of the many beaches around Copenhagen. Instead we walked around enjoying the sites until it was time to go to the airport. A quick train ride from the city center to the airport and we were ready to head off to Prague.
