So glad you enjoyed our little land , denmark is very happy you enjoyed your stay , come back soon
I definitely think you were a different person when you came back to Denmark. You had become more confident. The next trip will be even better. Now you are truly Dar the traveler.
Happy you liked it in Copenhagen. Hope you come back, but then you must go a little further up north of Copenhagen to The Castle of Frederiksborg. You will be amazed. It is brilliat with lots of treasures to see! You may even go further up to Helsingnoer to Kronborg Castle the castle of Hamlet. It is by the ocean. Very beautiful
Being in Copenhagen you must of cource visit Tivoli too, especially if you bring children. It is charming both at day light and even more by night with old lamps standing or hanging up in the trees to illuminate the whole park like a fairy tale 🎉🎠🎡🕌
The Blue Planet is worth visiting too.
Denmark is a small country, so maby you would like to visit Legoland in Jylland. As you might know, Lego was invented in Dennark and Legoland is a big amusement park with lots of things built out og lego and with lots to experience for both parents and children.
I could go on and on......Denmark has a lot to offer and we love people to come visit.
You and your family will be so welcome here😊
It cost 750 dkr. If you get cought without a ticket on the metro/bus/train
I saw the other day when I rode line 33 in Copenhagen that it now costs DKK 1000,- (About USD 144,-) if you ride buses or local train in Copenhagen and Zealand without a valid ticket the fine was sat up on 1 October 2023 and many other bus companies in Denmark have also sat the fine up to DKK 1000,- 🫣
Love the photos! So glad it was altogether a good experience for you! Denmark would be my choice, sorry Sweden! You definitely see and experience more by walking, observing, listening! The public transport must be a new experience for you, good job! Queen Mary rides a bike! The Little Mermaid! 💗 It would have been worth seeing more of Denmark! I think you would enjoy Hobart too! 🤗
Copenhagen and Denmark is very family friendly.
❤❤❤Wow!! I am so happy for you and proud💪🏻😍. You did it! You can be wery proud of yourself😊❤. "Funny" to hear your stories/adventures about not beeing so sure where you at and where to go😅❤. Reminds me of my own experiences. Something will always happen when you go countries/places you never been before but next time you will be like a pro😅. A tourguide😂❤for your family and friends! Keep on walking it is good for you😊😅. All the best and love from Finland.
Very glad you enjoyed your stay here in Denmark. You should come back with your family. There is so much for family's. Most places have something for kids as well as adults. But ofcause it will also be a lot more expensive, with a whole family. Anyway, I am happy you enjoyed it here.
Now, if some of his Danish fans around the country could put them up for a night or two, they could save on accomodation 🤔 A DSB rejsepas - free travel for 8 days for an adult + two kids under 12 cost DKK 399,-
If they need a break from Danes, they can camp for free in shelters all over the country - and the prices for food outside Copenhagen are more managable 😉😉
A DSB rejsepas - free travel for 8 days for an adult + two kids under 12 cost DKK 399,-
I'll open with two nights in Nyborg and a VIP tour of this historic town 🥰
Edit: And we can make sure he gets the family on the right trains and busses, when going to the next town 🤣
@@ane-louisestampe7939 They could stay here as well. for a day or two. I am in Sorø, and I am sure I could get them a tour at Trelleborg Viking Fortress. The museum there costs 100kr for adults during the bussy season, kinds under 18 are free. Also a trip to Sorø to see the monastery church. It could probably be squezed in to one day.
You experienced rush hour in Øresundståg. I lived there for 20 years and I know exactly what you mean.
I'm sure that many of your followers would have loved to show you around in Copenhagen, som you could have seen some of the many, meny hidden gems in the city. You must arrange that next time 🙂
He wanted the alone experience, walking around discovering things on his own and i respect that, I've done that to.. 🙏🙂
But I would definitely recommend it on the next one, only the Danes can show you the real Denmark, which is beautiful...🤩
@@timo6069 Yeah, travelling alone, sensing the world without others' intervention can be a blessing.
We are so glad you came 😊
Really glad, you enjoyed your stay in Denmark. You are more than welcome with your family 🤗
When (and not if) you come back, then before leaving there might be some of your danish subscribers you could meet and who would love to drive/show you around in different places outside Copenhagen. I live in Elsinore with a beautiful castle Kronborg surrounded by waters. You can see Sweden close up from there (a 20 minutes ferry ride).
Thank you for sharing your first impressions👍
The packed train from Sweden, what time of day was it? 1000nds of Swedes work in Copenhagen. It could also be passengers to the airport. The train is each 15 minutes.
denmark is amazing during the summer. there are great places to go and explore.
it
That smile tho, Dar :D Welcome to CPH
Well im really happy that you enjoyed it enough to the point you want to come back, better start saving up😂 them overseas trips aint cheap..! But yeah bring your family next time for sure..❤
And hey you improved your vlogging by the time you came to Denmark, it was a little shaky in Sweden, but you live and you learn keep practicing it! Maybe show us Scandies around Texas or your area where you don't have to travel that far, I'd like to see that 😊🫡
I knew it was the Cabinn 😁 I've been there a couple of times too..
Its small and compact, but its affordable and decent..
The breakfast buffet though🤢😆
I hope they improved on that..
Happy you had a great trip. I like that you just did your own thing on your own time in stead of rushing through the sights. Come back and bring your family.
Good times mate, great to see you smiling.
Edit: Pizza Hut - 'I got hungry' implied - and what of it!? lol nice dude
Fun fact, you said Christian's Havn looked like Amsterdam, that whole area is a man made island and the Danish hired a dutch person to do the design of the canals if i remember it right.. 😅
Yeah and used Swedish prisoners of war and unwanted Danes to dig it.
@@Drescher1984 True.. 👍
Hahah, it´s not easy coming to a new place, a new country!! One feel CONFUSED!! 😅 I´ts a good thing to have company tho, a travel partner, to experience things with.
Happy you came to our little nothern part of the world!! Welcome back!! As I and some others said; go to Visby, Gotland. Österlen in Skåne is beautiful too! If your interested in history or architechure . . Läckö Castle near Lidköping in Sweden is so gorgeous! The little town of Nora is sleepy, calm and pretty if you don´t like the bigger cities! Tällberg i Dalarna, Sweden is also a small but pretty place! I´m glad you enjoyed Stockholm and Copenhagen!
if it's a better time for you to travel in may or September with you job the weather tends to be nice in Scandinavia then and there is less tourists so maybe a possibility to get less expensive tickets in early may or late Sept. do google visit Copenhagen or visit Denmark before coming again, that way you can plan what to see, it's quite easy to take direct train from city to city, you will also find ways to save money on Copenhagen card if you want to visit a lot of museums, castles or Tivoli ect. there are more than 80 attractions covered by the card
25:39 We call those bacon-wrapped: "Mummy in its sarcophagus".
I never really understand what people expect when seeing the little mermaid.
"I saw the LITTLE mermaid statue. It was huge!"
If you come to Denmark again you should check out a place called Land of Legends in the town of Lejre. Also a perfect place for kids. It has beautiful nature, viking towns, animals like wild boar, goats and oxen. You can shoot bow and arrow or axe throws and the place is incredibly idyllic, especially on a warm summer day.
And the medieval centre in Nyköping - falster
The blue planet, dyrehavsbakken and exsperimentarium is good places and activities too in the Copenhagen region
So happy, that you enjoyed your trip to Denmark. Next time you get a room in the hoster in the center of Copenhagen. Perhaps you can experience and pay less if you buy the Copenhagen card which includes 80 attractions and free transport all over the city.
Yooo
Soo.. now you is in my mind, "The traveler that dare"!
In anyway you have not only visited two countrys, but altso another continent!
And your Stockholm walks.. is this guy there for walking, try Stockholm Marathon next time!
I know that you didnt know that there is a good subway/tramlines/busses.. on the same ticket, and you could/should take the ferry to Djurgården/Vasa-/ ABBA/Skansen/Gröna lund! Its this.. as a swede I probably know more about Stockholm then you even if I dont live there!
Okey you dared, now you know a bit more befor you bringe your wife.. eh Cristiania is not the place to bring ones wife to, get her to Tivoli or Bakken and some nice resturantes! Or let her shop at Drottningatan in Stockholm or Ströget in Kopenhagen!
the mall Fields had a shooting for 2 years ago When my small boy was there withs his cousins. they were 13 and from 10 years.
[ 12:09 ] - A fine for not having a ticket or having the wrong ticket on the train is 750 kroner, around 107 USD. So, get the right ticket when you get on the train or the bus 😊
The penalty for riding the train without a valid ticket is 750 danish kroner aka $107 😊
You should have visited Reffen.. An awesome place with tons of street food and music
I tried to tell you that the trains to and from sweden stop at the airport. I didn't mention Ørestad as I didn't know that was where you booked hotel... but yeah, you could have avoided the central station on both your travel days 🙂 but I know that it may be difficult to explain to someone not used to public transport.
Happy that you learned and got confident enough to improvise second time around.
Edit: Cabinn, WakeUp and Zleep hotels are just that... small cabins with just the necessities. They're not big nor fancy, but usually modern and clean. If you want it cheaper you'll have to look for hostels with shared showers etc.
Edit2: ticket fines are a nice fixed 750 DKK, roughly $100, you can then complain to customer service if you think it was unfair, and perhaps have it reduced.. being a student or having partly gotten the right ticket will usually give you a reduction. Being a foreigner I would be afraid that they insist you pay immediately I'm afraid... the metro from airport to Nørreport has got to be the largest money machine for them... many tourists don't understand our system.
Edit 3: people say Danes are introverted and reserved, until they meet our neighbours... we're an odd mix of Scandinavian, English, Dutch and German... I blame the neighbours 😀 if the north sea was a nation/culture that would be us.
You have to take your family with you next time 😃
You need to try the nightlife in denmark, go to a concert venue. ❤
how can you skip norway? its the must beautiful plase of all of them and im a dane.
Yeah Denmark has crazy weather changes a week or so ago it was high sun by morning by noon it hailed and then back too high sun by late afternoon, good to hear you enjoyed the trip. Yeah bring your wife next time I'm sure she will enjoy it too. Yeah we got a reputation in the Nordics for being indifferent and I can see where they get that its a mentality of not bothering others and they wont bother you, but most people will help you out if asked
You can be almost certain that he moved the bike to make room.
Öresund tåg drive Copenhagen to Malmo over the brigde and many South Swedes flying from Copenhagen airport beacuse train stop their and that is why you see people with suitcases.
It's also the train that all the Swedes and Danes that have chosen to live in Sweden while working in Copenhagen use...
Greater Copenhagen is really such a huge job market we could really use the second bridge across Øresund as some politicians are suggesting.
Oh and another thing, he's going from Lund, famous for its university, so I believe there are also a few students crossing the bridge by train every day.
And all the way up to Gothenburg
YES! Hotdogs rule! 😀
next time you have to go during summertime its a way better experience
If I’m not mistaken, June IS summertime.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Det kan ikke blive mere sommer. 😀
What do you mean? It’s summer right now 😅
There is a significant difference between Swedes and Danes, yes. But they differ from Germans and Norwegians too, more easy going, laidback, drinking beer and smoking cigars.. Now these are stereotypes of course, but I think it’s a way of explaining what to expect in Denmark. And you felt it too, right?
Hotdogs is religion in Denmark
750kr is the price for getting caught without a valid ticket in Denmark. Around a 100 dollar US.
It does not cost DKK 750,- in fine if you don't have a valid ticket for most bus companies and local trains in Denmark increased the fine to DKK 1000,- (USD 144,-) on 1 Oktober 2023 and I kid you not. 🫣
Should have gotten some smørrebrød instead of Pizzahut and McDonalds
Why?
@@cbjmurer Food is a big part of experiencing the culture.
@@Powermongur Det kan du da sagtens have ret i. Hvis man har tid, og mere end et døgn...
Havde en onkel, der var gift med en kvindelig nordmand . Som havde en hytte oppe i den norske vildmark. Misforstå ikke - men var altså ikke speciel vild med gamle overgemte kartofler, og klipfisk, og kogte fårehoveder. Det har over tid ændret sig en anelse. Er ikke længere den store kostfornægter, som jeg var, da jeg var yngre.

You usually joke. If you were to give Skåne back to Denmark, you would raise the intelligence quotient in 2 countries😂
That must be a swedish joke 🤬🤬🤬 😂
