    Oh that is a GROSS insult- You didnt pet the elephants as you passed through! It is an old tradition to pat the elephants on their leg, to show that you appreciate their hard work holding that house. If you dont they may get angry, and wander off to join their kind, in the Copenhagen zoo nearby!

    14:32 The city is running out of spaces for bicycle parking. Where you stand in this clip, they might extend bicycle parking over the railway. Over 60% use their bicycle each day and 50% use it to commute. This success has done that the city has build 5 or 6 new bridges over the harbour. Traffic congestion is something to do with bicycles. The first bridge congested, shortly after it was finished. A new one had to be built. That happened 4 times.

    Off course, we can't use money on everything we see, but Rosenborg Castle is worth it. So beautiful inside. If more castles are required, there is Frederiksborg Castle, located in Hillerød, about 40 minutes from Copenhagen City Center. It is not without reason, it is called the Nordic Versailles, but save it for summer, the parks, lakes, and gardens are best in the summer. If you are a Shakespeare fan, then Kronborg Castle is a must. It is located in Helsingør, a little hour north of Copenhagen. It is the castle, that Shakespeare is said "to have used" for he's Hamlet. Many famous British actors have done Hamlet there. From the top of my head Richard Burton, Kenneth Branagh (very good performance), Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud and many more. NOTE: Kronborg is a military castle.

    beautiful video , hope you enjoyed your stay in my city, one note two single beds is not typical Scandinavian, it may be typical in many hotels because a lot of friends travel together , and that way they can pull the beds a part a little and have a bed of their own, I have often traveled with my friend and hate when we get a double bed, and two single rooms is so much more expensive, so I'm sure they make it like this to give people a choice

The hotel does not appear to have twin bed rooms villacopenhagen.com/rooms/ We paid the additional 90 DKK for a King bed so would have been too tight to separate (although appears to have separate bed bases / mattresses) however suspect might be possible for a queen bedded room.

    If you haven't already, you should visit CopenHill next time you are here. You can see it at 17:22 in your video - it's the one with the active smoke (well, steam) stack. It's a waste facility plant with a year-round ski slope running down its roof. It's such a playful idea for a building. It's like a waste facility plant and a mountain combined. I recommend renting bikes to get there as the ride there is lovely. Free to visit. Take the elevator up, enjoy the views and walk down. Then head to Reffen street food afterwards.

    I’d be interested to know just when you went to Edinburgh considering all the face masks still being worn. Yours is a pretty balanced overview for the first-time visitor. One small mistake was your mispronunciation of Cockburn Street: it’s actually pronounced ‘ko-burn’ in the same manner as the Port. For anyone visiting I’d recommend seeing the New Town. Also perhaps avoid going during the Festivals unless you’re going to attend events. If you head down to visit the statue of Greyfriars Bobby located at Greyfriars Kirkyard please don’t touch his snout. This is not an Edinburgh tradition but started in the last couple of decades by some misguided tour guide. It has resulted in considerable wear on this iconic wee statue. Finally I would avoid the tourist shops on the Royal Mile. They all are owned by the one company and sell poor quality tartan tat which is certainly not made in Scotland.

      ​​​​​​@@daleydeparturesJust in case you are not clear, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is not the whole of the festival. The original Festival was, and still is, called The Edinburgh International Festival. This is the "festival proper" which started in 1947. It is a series of "high culture" performances by opera, ballet, orchestras, dance, and theatre companies,etc. They can feature world famous orchestras and ballet companies such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Bolshoi Ballet, and world famous classical musicians such as pianists Lang Lang and Mitsuko Uchida. Shortly after the official festival began, performers with no official invite to the festival, many of them University revue groups, such as The Cambridge Footlights and others, would arrive in the City when the official Festival was on the go. They would perform in any available venue, such as church haĺls. These informal groups of performers became known as the Festival Fringe. Many of today's well known performers, such as John Cleese and Michael Palin originally performed in the Fringe. Since then, the Fringe has grown enormously, to the point where it has dwarfed the official Festival. A surprising number of people don't know that the official Festival exists. All they have heard about is this thing called "The Edinburgh Fringe Festival ".

      You will have an amazing time - is such a great city and we are heading back end of the year for the Christmas markets and do do some of the other things we couldn’t fit in this trip!

      Edinburgh is a very safe destination but when out and about please keep your valuables well out of reach. Unfortunately there is a blight of foreign pick pockets and tourists do tend to stand out a wee bit.

    The Witchery is a must. You will not be disappointed, also try Afternoon Tea at the Balmoral hotel.

      Thanks for the suggestions- just too little time last trip but will be back later this year. Witchery is on the itinerary, we also want to try the whiskey bar at the Balmoral. Plus some great new boutique hotels to try!!!

      Please don't forget the other Great towns and cities in Scotland. I can recommend a trip to Isle of Skye via Glencoe With a return trip through Perthshire.

      Rest assured we are planning a road trip series next year where we will be getting out of the city and around the Highlands!

      @@daleydepartures, As I said before, You will not be disappointed. If you take a bad picture in The Highlands, There is something wrong with your camera 🤣. Where ever you go in the World, have a safe trip. We look forward to seeing you back in Scotland.

      I used to work in the Balmoral many moons ago when it was called The North British Hotel.

    You need to visit the Real Titanic Hotel, in Belfast, the building where Titanic was born

      @daleydepartures Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks for the suggestion and am pleased to say we have just returned from there! We'll be putting together a video soon on the Titanic Quarter featuring the hotel, experience and even distillery! We also we put together a playlist series including a number of other videos including Belfast City and the Causeway Coast. Look out for them all later in the year!
