Copenhagen: the best city of the earth

Came for a couple of days in Copenhagen - the best city in the world. The capital of Denmark constantly gets into any positive ratings, as the best city. For example, the situation here is the best with ecology among European capitals. There are many parks in the city and people often go there. Copenhagen was recognized as the most friendly place for gays, the healthiest city in the world due to the active lifestyle of its people, and simply the best city to live in. Of course, there is excellent public transport, amazing food, and most importantly, bicycles!

In Copenhagen, about 50% of the population constantly uses a bicycle to travel around the city. Almost every local resident has his own bicycle, and about 2,000 bicycle rental centers are available to tourists. The city has 400 km of bike lanes. They use the bike here all year round, and in the snow and rain.

It should also be noted that Copenhagen is a very compact city, there are just over a million people living in it, there are no skyscrapers, and in general on the streets you feel incredibly comfortable.

Here it is, a simple Danish happiness, to sit on the beach with a glass of beer and greet the boats passing by, where they also drink beer and greet you.

Or lie on a man under an umbrella

Copenhagen is good everywhere. No need to go somewhere specially to enjoy the urban environment. Everywhere there are parks, beautiful quays, cafes. And, of course, not so many people as in other cities.

Beautiful

Channels, boats, colored buildings. Copenhagen is similar to Amsterdam, only without crowds of crazy tourists.

In Copenhagen, there are almost no lampposts, and all the lamps they hang on stretch marks above the roads. It looks very good, although the number of wires increases.

Beautiful tower like a fairy tale. You can get on it for $ 8

Denmark's most famous promenade

Now back to cyclists. As I said, cyclists in Copenhagen 50% is the most cycling city in the world.

Cyclists are the main ones here, but this position imposes responsibility on them. In Denmark, cyclists are fined!

For example, driving without hands, lack of light after sunset, riding together on one bicycle, lack of reflectors or faulty brakes will cost you $ 100!

Getting to red, talking on a cell phone, driving against a stream - $ 140 fine! Poor citizens and students can request a reduction in the fine to $ 70.

Pedestrians are also fined. If you went on a bike path and caused a cyclist to fall, then you can be fined 500 euros! Sometimes the sidewalks are very narrow, unlike bicycle paths, but people behave according to the rules and do not break.

Cycle at intersections.

The future is in electric transport.

Flyovers on the seafront

The city continues to actively build cycling roads in the suburbs. At the end of 2011, the first "bicycle superstrad" city - suburb opened. It stretched 10 miles from central Copenhagen.

A simple and beautiful solution - sports wall on the embankment

Bicycle overpass in one of the districts of the city. Pedestrians are not allowed! A fine of 130 euros.

Downstairs, people relax and walk, ride bicycles upstairs.

On the stairs make special ramps for lowering bikes.
