Copenhagen

Friday the 16th we went to Copenhagen. There was a journey organized by the university to discover the town. The price was really interesting compared to the train, which is expensive.

The day was divided between two parts. The morning and the beginning of the afternoon was reserved for a tour. Indeed, in a first time we visited an area called Ørestad which actually is in development. More and more design buildings are poping up. For lunch we ate in big mall called Field’s. In the afternoon we visited other buildings. Then we departed closed to the center to see Carlsberg’s brewery. It was really pleasant to understand the history.  For instance, we learnt that the father of Carl live with Scientifics to keep his house safe if he dies.

We were filed in the center.  We decided to stay one more day to visit the center. We slept in a hostel. It should be noted that hotels are so expensive in Denmark so hostels are very well seen by people because they look like hotels. Thus, the Saturday we went to the channels and one of the most beautiful is Nyhavn.

I also went to Copenhagen the week of Saturday the 27^th. I visited lots of things, Copenhagen is attractive. I went to the botanic garden: lots of greenhouses with impressive plants and trees.

 

 

I also visited Carlsberg Glyptotek. This last is not a brewery but an art museum which is free on Sunday. Most of the collection was assembled by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of the Carlsberg brewery. There are a lot of sculpture, pottery and paintings.
