I've been there, I go almost every summer. Good hot dogs. Definitely learn the language to get accustomed with the people easier, if not many speak good English. Haven't been there lately, but definitely a nice place, enjoy if you do go!

I think i'll be in Copenhagen for a lot of my time, my friend told me that they speak a lot of English there because of the way the schools are set up they need to learn English and German on top of Danish. I still want to learn Danish though just to not be a nuisance to the locals.

Whats Noma?

Copenhagen is the city in Europe I haven't been to that I want to go most. Thinking of renting a car when I'm in Switzerland and going end of April.

I've been to Copenhagen and it's amazing. Definitely check out Christiania when you're there. It's a small hippy village that's in an old army base in the middle of the city. It's really interesting, they sell weed legally on the streets, and you can relax with a beer on picnic benches. Even if you don't smoke, still go. It's quite an experience. They only have three laws: No hard drugs. No pictures. No running.

What's the reason for the no pictures/running? and Obviously they have other laws.

No running because it causes panic. Once in a while the federal government raids the drug dealers and then everyone runs. People assume shits going down when people run.

Not sure why you aren't allowed pictures. Probably because it could incriminate people from Copenhagen who want to go smoke some weed and relax without being judged. Who knows.

It's true, those are the only laws. Technically it falls under all Danish laws, but it's a zone that is looked over by the police and government so those are the only rules, which are set by the residents.

Christiania could be taken over and be shut down at the will of the Danish government, but they simply choose not to. It's a wild concept
