You could rent a car... but then again, why would you?

City bikes... for 20 kroner [3.5 USD] deposit you can have a tour of copenhagen using your own muscle power. That is, if you're lucky to get one.. they have been a great hit since they started the idea 11 years ago.

The New Harbor - Nyhavn

Spring is here.. people chilling waterside with beers and sunlight in Nyhavn.

like crayons in a box

Nyhavn (lit. "New Harbor") is a popular area in Copenhagen, Denmark with both locals and tourists. The street is lined with many small bars and restaurants facing out to a picturesque harbor. In warmer weather people fill every available table in the outdoors seating area in front of every restaurant. And even in cooler weather the heartier types sit outdoors with a beer and a blanket, provided by the restaurant on each seat, over their legs.

Less formal seating is on the edge of the harbour with bring-your-own beer. It is not uncommon to see groups of young people sitting along the waterfront with beer, enjoying the sunshine, the crowds and the street entertainment.

Nyhavn was built by King Christian V, and it once had a bad reputation on account of the concentration of sailors living in the neighborhood. -wikipedia entry-
