Days & Nights in København

København's main railway station (Københavns Hovedbanegård).


Wonder why the Danes are the happiest people on the planet? Could it be because the street lights in some parts of town give you a happy face at night?

Helsingor & Louisiana

We went with some friends who were staying to Louisiana and Helsingor. Kronberg Slot is the mythical home of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Louisiana is Denmarks "leading contemporary art museum." Kronberg is kinda fun - it relies on the Hamlet myth to get visitors there, then becomes a tale of the historic land battles between the Danes and Sweeds.



Louisiana has a developing collection of contemproary art (read 20th cent.), and is in wonderful gardens. The building itself is also something of a trip - like 2 arms hugging a sea view. There was a Max Ernst exhibition on when we went - didn't love it really. Looking forward to seeing their upcoming exhibitions though.
