Copenhagen Day 3!
Day 3 focussed on the harbour area opposite Ørestad, We began our day at Sydhavnstippen, walking through Sluseholmen Canal District. This residential development is built on 8 artificial islands seperated by dug-out canals. The varied cityscape is heavily influenced by Dutch cities, the masterplan's architect being Dutch.
Going across the bridge from Sluseholmen, we end up in Teglholmen, featuring more developments.

Some of the architecture in Teglholmen.
We then got on the 'boat tram', one of the forms of public transport. From the river we got to see the Opera House and the Play House.
Tourist sight seeing after getting off the boat.
A lamp post in Amerika Plads made to look like a dragon!
We then visited the Design Museum, featuring lots of furniture and some of the famous chairs designed by architects!
There was so much to see and sketch, we could've stayed there for hours! However, we moved on to the palace, and on the way there we came across this impressive cathedral!
One of the guards, not too different from the English ones.
Then coming out of the palace courtyard, we see this view. The Opera House sat across the river.
Design is everywhere in Copenhagen!
Lastly we needed food! We asked the people in Generator where they would recommend, because we wanted something good value for money, but where we hadn't tried before. We went to Dalle Valle, which though was a bit difficult to find, was amazing value! It's hidden away down a pedestrian street, but is massive, and the waiters seem to have fun with their job!
That was our last dinner in Copenhagen, we definitely saved the best until last!
After all the walking we'd done that day, it was time to go back to the hostel and have a well deserved drink!!
