I arrived in Copenhagen shortly after noon and immediately set out on foot to experience the city. Nyhavn is a photographer’s dream, a tiny canal lined by brightly colored 17th and early 18th century townhouses, bars, cafes, and restaurants. Rosenborg Castle was originally built as a country summerhouse in 1606, one of  Christian IV’s many architectural projects. In total, I covered 10 miles taking in the sights including many of the iconic squares and the newly constructed opera house. Later in the day, I connected with my soccer team for dinner at the Gorilla, a beast of a restaurant in the old industrial premises of the Meatpacking District of Vesterbro.
