"Denmark is like the hot guy who doesn't know he is hot"

This is the sappy, tourist post. 
Denmark is honestly a hidden gem. I have traveled to a lot of European cities but there is something that is entirely unique about Copenhagen. Paris, London, Barcelona, Rome...all know they have their beauty and they show it. Copenhagen is filled with this beauty you have to feel. Does that make sense? There is a just a cozy, humble charm about this city that I have never felt before. It doesn't try to appeal to tourists, it is there for it's people. Copenhagen doesn't have that snobby feel that other European cities have either. The inhabitants are content and open to foreigners. The Danish keep to themselves but are more than willing to help anyone out. They are kind, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. Everyone here looks like they popped out of magazine. As I said to a friend, Denmark is filled with popular blonde girls from high school but without the attitude. Everyone here enjoys life. I wouldn't say the Danes are bubbly people, they are just content with life and are able to find the humor in any situation. It is a lovely way of living.

Copenhagen is also open to change. They keep the old but expand with the new. They aren't afraid to have an "erotica" museum or have a 7/11 convenience store, these quirky things just simply add to the charm of the city.


Being a very walkable city, I have had the chance to explore between classes (which I love as well). The other day I was able to stumble upon Nyhavn and the Queen's Royal Palace. When I came to class the other day some people were having a random community line dance going on in the square. Copenhagen is like going into a antique shop. It is filled with knick knacks and odds and ends but there is always a priceless item in between.

Filled with quaint parks, 17th century architecture, great food, and lovely people Copenhagen is by far my favorite city in Europe.
