Interesting places to visit in Copenhagen

Assalamualaikum,


Okay, now let's continue with the interesting places you might want to visit if you have 24 hours in Copenhagen. Sebelum keluar tu pagi hari Sabtu tu, kitorang dah siap makan nasik kenyang-kenyang so ada a lot of energy untuk jalan-jalan. Dalam pukul 9am, kitorang start berjalan, meredah pagi yang berangin dan super sejuk tu. 


Our cold morning in Copenhagen


Copenhagen Central Station


Salah satu Hard Rock Cafe yang paling santai yang I penah pegi.


The famous Tivoli Garden. Ada amusement park dalam ni.


Lepas dah dapat sikit maklumat sikit and beli City Pass dari Tourist Information Counter, kitorang ambik bus dari Central Staion. Our first stop was Rosenborg Castle. Tapi masa sampai tu askar depa dok tengah marching, so tak dapat nak walk around the castle. Dapat tengok dari luar pagar istana yang terbina dari tahun 1806. Orang cakap kat dalam istana tu diorang sediakan perkhidmatan sewa baju-baju traditional Denmark, so kalau yang berminat boleh la masuk dalam tu. :)


At the main entrance of the Rosenborg Castle.


Lepas tu kitorang jalan kaki ke Royal Garden dekat sebelah Rosenborg Castle. It was a reallllyyy beautiful garden, walaupun penuh diseliputi salji, pokok semua pun botak, tapi tetap nampak cantik jugak in my eyes. I am pretty sure the garden will become more beautiful in spring season with colorful blooming flowers and fresh green leaves.


Beautiful, isn't it?


Garden of Red Thorn Roses


From there, kitorang terus berjalan sampai ke Nyhavn Canal. This place is very famous for their boats service and beautiful buildings surrounding the canal. Dekat situ jugak ada banyak kapal vikings yang ala-ala dalam cerita perang zaman dulu-dulu tu. Tapi disebabkan cuaca yang terlampau sejuk, sungai dah bertukar jadi ais, kitorang pulak sikit lagi nak jadi ais berdiri keras kat situ. Kaki, tangan, muka semua kebas kalau orang tumbuk pun confirm tak rasa sakit.


See that icy-water? Nak senyum pun tak larat dah masa ni. Muka kebas!


Extremely cold this time.
Duduk dekat toilet yang warm adalah saat paling indah masa ni. :p


Gagahkan diri berjalan walaupun kaki, tangan semua dah tak rasa dah.

So, sebelum kitorang membeku jadi sculpture ais dekat Nyhavn Canal ni, we decided to leave this place and go back to our hotel for prayers and refreshment. Sebelum keluar balik, I pakai jaket lagi satu (2 lapis baju tebal, plus 2 jaket tebal), pakai stokin 2 lapis, glove 2 lapis baru rasa lega sikit nak berjalan dalam cuaca yang macam tu. Hadoiii susahnya dok negara beriklim macam ni. Asal nak keluar rumah je mesti berat naik berganda-ganda sebab baju tebal sangat. T__T


Sempat singgah di Stroget. Kawasan membeli-belah yang mewah untuk orang-orang kaya.
Me? But lintasan hormat sampai depan Hermes je, tu patah balik. hahaha. :p


So lepas tu, we went to The Kastellet, a military fortress that was built before peperangan antara Danish Vikings dengan English Army. Dulu ni kubu pertahanan la, tapi sekarang dia bukak jadi taman untuk orang ramai. Kat sini ada Red Windmill Tower yang diorang guna untuk berperang. Tapi sekarang jadi tempat tarikan untuk pelancong.


Pintu gerbang masuk The Kastellet.
Ala-ala pintu gerbang yang dalam cerita Lord of The Ring masa perang-perang tu.

Hidung saya merah. kahkahkah.



Lepas dah pusing-pusing keliling Kastellet tu, kitorang naik bas pergi Copenhagen Opera House pulak. It is situated at another zone near the harbour. Tapi cuaca dah gelap masa tu, so tak banyak sangat gambar menarik yang boleh ambik. Plus dah hujan and kitorang pun dah kesejukan yang terlampau, so we decided to leave early.

Dah mula hujan rintik-rintik masa ni


But the night was still early, we didn't want to waste the 24-hour ticket we bought earlier, so kitorang sesaja naik metro pegi airport. hahaha. Takde keje betol. Tapi bagus jugak, boleh check in siap-siap pastu pusing-pusing kat dalam airport tu. Esoknya flight pagi takdela rushing sangat. hehe. 


Lepas dah balik bilik tu, masak nasik dengan maggi, makan kenyang-kenyang berlaukkan telur dengan sambal tumis ikan bilis nyum nyum, pastu dua-dua terbongkang kepenatan sampai esok pagi. hahaha. Esok paginya kitorang keluar dalam pukul 8am terus pegi airport, ready for our flight back to Austria. :)


Gambar kat bawah ni semua masa kat airport sebelum boarding. We don't know when will be our next trip to Copenhagen, but we surely know that we had a really great weekend getaway here. InsyaAllah kalau panjang umur dan dimurahkan rezeki, I definitely want to come back. But not during winter. That's for sure. :)

Pengaruh Scandinavian di mana-mana.

Thanks for having us Copenhagen.
We had a great time! :)


So I guess this the wrap up to my Copenhagen trip.
I hope this will be a useful entry to those who is vising the Danish land.
Till I see you again next time.
Assalamualaikum. :)
