"Kastellet" Beautiful windmill 🇩🇰

Kastellet Fort is one of my favourite place in Copenhagen for getting away from hustle and the bustles city centre. It's so calm and peaceful here spend your mornings walking down the gardens or jog along. The last windmill in Copenaghen and is located in Kastellet. The structure is similar to the dutch windmills, and it dates back to the 1600s. Kastellet in Copenhagen is one of the best preserved star fortresses in Northern Europe. Once you can enter the garden you’ll find a few buildings like a church, today it is a very important historic place in Denmark with a beautifully preserved public park. Kastellet fort is free to enter and the gates are opened to the public from 6am to 10pm daily. #denmark #copenhagen #kastellett #garden #mytripvlog #tripblazers #summervacation #nationalpark #seltravels #2023travelwish #awesomepic #passionpassport #urbanexplorer #danish #sightseeing

Christmas Market Højbro Plads

Copenhagen in December is pure hygge magic 🧣✨: fairy-tale harbors, legendary mermaids, and Christmas markets lit in gold. Here’s the must-see sweep if you want those real Danish winter vibes! Top Spots to Visit: 🧜♀️ The Little Mermaid (Langelinie, 2100 København Ø) – Swing by the iconic sculpture, open all day, any season. Pro tip: Arrive early if you want that solitary Insta moment. 🎄 Christmas Market Højbro Plads – This cozy explosion of twinkle lights and holiday magic is right at the heart of the city. Grab warm gløgg and shop for local treats! 🌈 New Harbor (Nyhavn, Indre By) – The storybook canal with rainbow facades shines brightest near Christmas. Try a morning stroll for crowd-free photos, then come back after sunset for extra sparkle. 🏰 Kastellet (Gl. Hovedvagt, Kastellet 1, 2100 København) – This star-shaped fortress is a peaceful walk in winter (open 6:00–20:00). The ramparts give you killer views of both city and sea—perfect for a brisk December walk after market sweets. Quick Tips: Bundle up! The wind by the harbor is no joke in December. Bring cash for smaller Christmas market vendors. Try traditional Danish pastries at the markets—especially æbleskiver! Transport: Use Copenhagen’s Metro and buses for easy travel between spots. Buy a City Pass for unlimited rides. Weather: Expect chilly temps and possible drizzle, so dress warm and waterproof. Food Recs: Cozy up at Nyhavn’s historic cafés for smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) and Scandinavian mulled wine. #CopenhagenChristmas #NyhavnVibes #ScandiWinter #Tripcom #HolidayWander
