Discover Copenhagen with me #1 Introducing you to Christianshavn

I am so lucky, I live in one of the most pictoresque neighbourhoods of Copenhagen (capital of the tiny country Denmark), I would like to take you on a tiny evening walk through Christianshavn, I will make a Christianshavner out of you, you will get to know the nooks and crannies and the special places like a local if you follow me on my walks, just a small first look !
I hope you will like it.
One of the most prominent buildings is the church

The tree by the black car is the most photographed tree in Denmark lol, as every tourist on the canal tour boats takes a snap of it ... The Church is called Church of Our Savior ( at a later point I will take you at an inside tour and give you more info), it is a big tourist attraction especially in the season where people can climb the exterior staircase for a great panoramic view of the wole city of Copenhagen ( yup ! I would totally need a horrible amount of upvotes in order to get enticed enough to take that climb... I am horrified of height ... just saying lol !) Urban legend says the architect killed himself jumping from the top of the spire, because he realised that the spiral was turning the way around ...

As you can see the hollyhocks are in full bloome at this time of year ... looking beautiful and colorful with the background of the old buildings of Christianshavn

and there are even poppys on the cobble streets

The canals are full of boats
here is the canal going to the center waterfront

and the colorful buildings with the church spire in the background

We saw this big beauty of a boat.. I just loved the dark wood with the cream color !
There are so many beautiful and unique buildings to see here

and seen from across the canal

On this corner we have one of the many restaurants located on Christianshavn (I will look closer at the restaurants at a later point and take you to some of them to eat ...)

Færgecafeén is a more traditional danish restaurant... I have eaten here on several occasions ( I have to be honest my own cooking of traditional danish food is better ) but it is a good, decent restaurant and a good place to try some danish food ...

on the opposite side of the canal from Færgecafeén, is a restaurant called Kanalen this is a very good restaurant the Chef won Best Chef in 2017.
It is clear to see that there is a very maritim feeling on Christianshavn, it was build on artificial islands in the 17th century as an extension of the fortifications of Copenhagen.

and a few more pictures of a blooming evening walk

The fragrance in the air was fantastic from the beautiful lavenders

and this final flower explosion concludes the small evening walk ...

I hope you enjoyed the walk ! I love the neighbourhood I live in and I will show you more...
