That’s what I was saying in my head when we touched down. In Europe, there are these stores called ‘Flying Tiger’ that I discovered in summer ‘22, when we were in Florence (Italy). One time, on a package of gel pens that I got, I read that these magical items were from Copenhagen. I’ve wanted to go to Copenhagen ever since!

Back on topic, we landed at about 2 pm, and tried to keep ourselves awake by going shopping. Our hotel is right near the center of town, and Copenhagen is small enough that we can just walk the 15 min there. We walked down the Street of Shopping (the name isn’t actually a real place ), went to Nyhavn (if you don’t recognize the name, is this picture familiar?).

Then, we ate dinner at Pizzeria C’Ho Fame (literally “I’m Hungry” in Italian) which had, well, pizza.

On the second day, we took a bike tour around the city, and we actually covered a lot more ground than I thought, because, as I said before, Copenhagen is pretty small. We ate dinner at a fish restaurant, and the place had bread with ( wait for it… ) seaweed butter! It tasted like just normal butter, though.

The next day, we went to Tivoli Gardens. It is the second oldest amusement park in the world, and it is almost 200! We went on all the rides except the really scary ones like the drop tower and the ones for toddlers. If you ever go to Tivoli Gardens, I want you to do two things: (1) If you go to the park, there are three tall towers. There is a blue one, a yellow one, and another blue one. The third tower that I listed is called the Star Tower, and it looks super scary. It’s actually not that scary. Ride it! (2) When we looked on the map, we saw the there was a new ride coming in 2026. Post in the comments what it is! Anyways, after, we ate at the Tivoli food court. I ate a bao and some spring rolls.

We also found a hidden playground in Tivoli, and found these mini trampolines! (Doesn’t it look so cool how I’m in midair and Mia is just about to bounce up?)

On the last day, we had a pastry daaaaay! We started with breakfast at a place called the Rug Bakery and then went to Flying Tiger for an hour! ( What? We really love it!). Then we went to Rosenberg Castle, where the kings and queens used to live. After, we went to another pastry shop called Hart Bakery, and ate dinner at Barr, not to be confused with a bar, or a barre.

My sister and I at the Rug, with the pastries. See the one on the right? It looks like an eyeball, but it is actually purple, and has black currant jam in it. ( Also, see the glass that has something that looks like red wine in it? I was drinking it, and it is actually black currant juice.

And now i’m flying to bergen! Whoops. That’s supposed to be a secret.

Byeeeeeeeeeee ; )

P.S. The funniest thing that happened in Copenhagen was this: In our hotel, there is an umbrella stand. Well, It’s not really a stand, it’s more of an umbrella rental stand. From the literal moment we arrived at our hotel, we talked about things like what if you lose it? and wow! look! It only costs 20 DKK, but if you lose it, it is 200 DKK! Then, on pastry day, we decided to rent an umbrella, because it looked particularly rainy out. So, we rented the 20 DKK (about 2 USD ) umbrella, and went out to the uber. My sister and I loved this umbrella dearly, so we both wanted to hold it, but my dad was like, nuh-uh, I DO NOT want to lose this umbrella. So, the day went on, with my dad holding the sacred umbrella. When we got back to the hotel, my dad was like wait, where’s the umbrella? So he rushed back to the uber, and he couldn’t find it! Then Mia was like, well, if you gave it to someone who really wanted to hold it, like me or penny, we wouldn’t have lost it! But yeah. That’s the funniest thing that happened.
