Beyond the palaces 王宫之外
August 2, 2026
We began the day at Christiansborg Palace,……
前二天参观皇家马厩的时候被告知每天早上9点到下午2点，。。。
August 2, 2026
We began the day at Christiansborg Palace, where we visited the Royal Stables to see the white horses before touring the Royal Kitchen. The kitchen offered an interesting glimpse into how lavish banquets were once prepared for the Danish royal family.
The third royal residence we visited during our stay in Copenhagen was Amalienborg Palace, the current home of the Danish royal family. The museum focuses on the history of the monarchy, particularly the reigns of the kings named Christian and Frederik. By this point, however, we felt we had reached our limit on Danish royal history—there was simply too much information to absorb after visiting so many palaces.
From there, we boarded the yellow harbor bus and crossed the canal to Reffen Street Food Market for lunch. On the way, we stopped at Hart Bakery to try its famous cardamom bun. It was so delicious that we bought another one before leaving the area.
Reffen offered an impressive variety of cuisines from around the world. We finally sampled a traditional Danish hot dog, but at nearly $10 for such a small hot dog, it was hardly a bargain.
After lunch, we took the harbor bus back toward our hotel, enjoying another relaxing cruise through Copenhagen's scenic canals.
As usual, we returned to the hotel for a short rest before heading out again. In the afternoon, we visited the Danish Architecture Center to learn more about Denmark's renowned architecture, urban planning, and furniture design.
In the evening, we walked to Nyhavn for dinner, enjoying traditional open-faced sandwiches and a bowl of mussels. As we passed through Kongens Nytorv, we came across a lively footvolley match being played in the square. It was the first time we had ever seen or even heard of the sport. Combining the skills of soccer with the rules of beach volleyball, the players kept the ball in the air using only their feet, legs, chest, shoulders, and head. We were especially impressed by one player's spectacular bicycle kicks over the net. It was an unexpected and entertaining discovery—another reminder that travel is often about stumbling upon experiences you never knew existed.
August 3, 2026
Today, it was time to head home. We had breakfast at a nearby café before making our way to the airport.
Between the airport lounge and the meals on the flight, we were very well fed. We finally got to try the famous Danish open-faced sandwich topped with egg and shrimp, something we had somehow missed during our stay in Denmark.
Because of a schedule change, we were able to move our connecting flight from JFK to the following day. This unexpected change turned out to be a wonderful bonus, giving us the next morning to spend some time with our son before continuing our journey home.

前二天参观皇家马厩的时候被告知每天早上9点到下午2点，马厩里的马会到外面来放风。今天一早，我们来到克里斯蒂安堡宫（Christiansborg Palace），欣赏那一匹匹优雅的白马。随后又参观了皇家厨房。从宽敞的灶台、巨大的铜锅到各种烹饪设备，不难想象当年为丹麦王室举办盛大宴会时的繁忙景象。
接着，我们来到此次哥本哈根之行参观的第三座王宫——阿美琳堡宫（Amalienborg Palace），也是现今丹麦王室的居所。博物馆主要介绍丹麦王室的历史，尤其是历代名为“克里斯蒂安”（Christian）和“腓特烈”（Frederik）的国王。连续参观了几座王宫之后，我们感觉自己已经被大量的王室历史“淹没”了，实在有些消化不过来。
离开王宫后，我们搭乘黄色港口水上巴士，穿越运河前往 Reffen 街头美食广场。途中顺道来到 Hart Bakery，品尝了招牌豆蔻面包（Cardamom Bun）。香气扑鼻，口感松软，实在太好吃了，离开前又忍不住买了一个。
Reffen 汇集了来自世界各地的美食。我们终于尝到了传统的丹麦热狗，不过一根细细的热狗竟然要价近十美元，实在称不上物有所值。
午餐后，我们再次搭乘水上巴士返回酒店，顺便悠闲地欣赏哥本哈根运河两岸的景色，为这座城市增添了另一番风情。
照例回酒店小憩片刻后，我们又出发前往丹麦建筑中心（Danish Architecture Center）。展览介绍了丹麦在建筑、城市规划以及家具设计等方面的发展，也让我们对这个以设计闻名的国家有了更多了解。我们还了解到澳大利亚最具代表性的地标 — 悉尼歌剧院（Sydney Opera House）出自于 丹麦建筑师 约恩·乌松（Jørn Utzon）。
傍晚，我们步行来到热闹新港（Nyhavn）享用晚餐，点了丹麦传统开放式三明治和一锅青口贝。前几天来的时候是看景，今天是坐在那里看人。经过国王新广场（Kongens Nytorv）时，广场上正举行一场足排球（Footvolley）比赛。这是我们第一次看到、也是第一次听说这项运动。它融合了足球技巧和沙滩排球规则，球员全程不能用手，只能利用双脚、头部、胸部和肩膀控球，在球网两侧来回对抗。其中一位球员连续几次腾空倒挂金钩，将球精准踢过球网，精彩的动作赢得现场观众阵阵掌声，我们也看得目不转睛。
旅行的乐趣，往往不只是那些早已规划好的景点，更在于这些不经意间的发现。走出王宫，我们看到的是哥本哈根充满活力的另一面。
A Day of Hamlet and Modern Art 《哈姆雷特》与现代艺术的一天
August 1, 2026
We were planning a day trip outside the city……
今天，我们乘火车前往城外的克伦堡城堡。。。
August 1, 2026
We were planning a day trip outside the city. After breakfast, we had plenty of time before our train, so we decided to walk to the main train station along the river. This stretch of the waterfront was lined with swimming areas and broad promenades for walking and cycling. There were noticeably fewer tourists here, giving us a chance to experience another side of Copenhagen and get a glimpse of everyday local life.
We took a train out of Copenhagen to visit Kronborg Castle. After about an hour, we arrived in the seaside town of Helsingør. The town was especially peaceful in the morning, with hardly anyone on the streets. On our way to the castle, we happened upon St. Mary’s Church (Sct. Mariæ Kirke). Originally built in the 15th century as part of a Carmelite monastery, the church and its adjoining monastery are considered one of the best-preserved medieval monastic complexes in Northern Europe.
The interior of the church was both solemn and elegant, with painted vaulted ceilings, centuries-old wood carvings, and an ornate altar that reflected its long history. The deep, resonant sound of the pipe organ echoed through the church. We soon realized that the staff were making final preparations for a wedding to be held there at noon.
The church also has a fascinating connection to music history. The renowned 17th-century organist and composer Dieterich Buxtehude once served as organist here. He later moved to Lübeck, Germany, where his extraordinary playing and compositions greatly impressed the young Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1705, at just 20 years old, Bach famously traveled more than 400 kilometers on foot to Lübeck to hear Buxtehude perform and to learn from him. The experience had a lasting influence on Bach’s own musical development. Standing inside this historic church and listening to the deep, majestic tones of the organ, it was easy to imagine that remarkable musical connection spanning more than three centuries.
From the town of Helsingør, it was only a 10- to 15-minute walk to Kronborg Castle. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kronborg is renowned for its magnificent Renaissance architecture and its important role in Northern European history. Yet for many visitors today, the castle is just as famous for its connection to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, one of the best-known plays in the world.
The story of Hamlet was inspired by the legendary Danish figure Amleth, and Shakespeare set his tragedy at Kronborg Castle. We joined a short English-language guided tour that introduced us to the castle’s history and its literary connection. We also learned an interesting bit of trivia: the name “Hamlet” looks almost like “Amleth” with the letter H moved from the end to the beginning.
Shakespeare himself never visited Denmark, let alone Kronborg Castle, but his play forever linked this Danish fortress with one of the greatest tragedies in world literature. That connection remains very much alive today. Throughout the day, actors staged short scenes from Hamlet in the castle courtyard, bringing Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy to life within the very walls where he imagined the story taking place.
The performances added a unique dimension to our visit, allowing us to appreciate not only Kronborg’s remarkable history and architecture but also its enduring place in the world of literature.
Back in the town of Helsingør, we found the streets much livelier, crowded with both locals and tourists. We came across a ramen restaurant and stopped there for a delicious and satisfying lunch.
From the world of Shakespeare and a Renaissance fortress, we traveled just ten minutes by train to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. The contrast could not have been greater. Louisiana seamlessly blends exceptional architecture, world-class modern art, sculpture gardens, and breathtaking views of the Øresund, creating one of the most beautiful museum settings we have ever experienced.
Unlike some modern art museums where we struggle to connect with the exhibits, many works at Louisiana invited us to pause, reflect, and think. Sophie Calle's installation Something Missing? was especially thought-provoking. We also stepped into Yayoi Kusama's immersive Gleaming Lights of the Souls, where countless reflections of light created the illusion of an infinite universe. A relaxing coffee break at the museum's seaside café completed the experience.
It was a day of striking contrasts—Renaissance and modern, literature and visual art, history and contemporary creativity, fantasy and reality. Yet somehow, both places celebrated the enduring power of human imagination.
On our way back to Copenhagen, we made a small detour in search of a traditional Danish hot dog. Unfortunately, we arrived just after the stand had closed, and none of the nearby restaurants appealed to us. We returned to our hotel and ended the day on a much more satisfying note.
At the rooftop café, we shared several small but beautifully prepared dishes—a tuna tartare, a lobster roll, and fish and chips—while watching the sun set over Copenhagen. It was a simple yet memorable ending to another wonderful day.
2026年8月1日
今天，我们乘火车前往城外的克伦堡城堡（Kronborg Castle）。约一个小时后，便抵达了海边小镇赫尔辛格（Helsingør）。清晨的小镇格外宁静，街道上几乎看不到行人。
在前往城堡的路上，我们无意间走进了圣玛利亚教堂（Sct. Mariæ Kirke）。这里原是建于十五世纪的加尔默罗会修道院教堂，与相邻的修道院一起，被认为是北欧保存最完整的中世纪修道院建筑群之一。
教堂内部庄严而典雅，彩绘穹顶、古老木雕和祭坛散发着浓厚的历史气息。浑厚而悠扬的管风琴声在大厅中回荡，原来工作人员正在为中午举行的婚礼做最后准备。
这座教堂还有一段与音乐史相关的故事。十七世纪著名的管风琴家兼作曲家布克斯特胡德（Dieterich Buxtehude）曾在这里担任管风琴师。后来，他前往德国吕贝克任职，其卓越的演奏与创作深深吸引了年轻的约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫（Johann Sebastian Bach）。1705年，年仅二十岁的巴赫不惜徒步四百多公里前往吕贝克，只为聆听布克斯特胡德演奏，并向他学习。这段经历对巴赫日后的音乐创作产生了深远影响。站在这座教堂里，听着管风琴低沉而庄严的音色，不禁让人联想到三百多年前那段薪火相传的音乐传奇。
从Helsingør小镇走十几分钟就到克伦堡城堡。莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》这部世界名剧大家早已耳熟能详。《哈姆雷特》的故事灵感源自丹麦维京传奇人物阿姆雷斯（Amleth), 并把故事背景设在我们今天参观的克伦堡城堡。我们参加了一个简短的英语导览，主要介绍了一些关于城堡的历史，也学到一个有趣的小知识：Hamlet 看起来就像是把 Amleth 的字母 H 从最后移到了最前面。 莎士比亚本人也从未到访过丹麦，更没有来过克伦堡城堡，但他的作品却让这座城堡与世界文学史上最伟大的悲剧之一永远联系在一起。
克伦堡城堡因其宏伟的文艺复兴建筑和在北欧历史上的重要地位，被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。城堡对面就是瑞典，近的都能游过去，渡轮才几分钟就能到达。如今《哈姆雷特》似乎已经和城堡本身一样引人注目。当天，城堡庭院里不断上演《哈姆雷特》的精彩片段，让莎士比亚笔下的不朽悲剧仿佛在真实的城堡中重现。这样的安排为参观增添了独特的体验，也让我们同时领略了城堡的历史价值和它深厚的文学意义。
离开莎士比亚的文学世界和这座文艺复兴时期的古堡，我们搭乘火车，仅十分钟便来到路易斯安那现代艺术博物馆（Louisiana Museum of Modern Art）。博物馆将建筑、世界级现代艺术、户外雕塑花园以及厄勒海峡（Øresund）的迷人海景完美融合，营造出我们在其它美术馆从未体验过的独特氛围。
与一些让人难以理解的现代艺术馆不同，路易斯安那的许多作品都值得驻足思考。Sophie Calle 的作品展《Something Missing?》尤其发人深省。我们还走进日本艺术家草间弥生（Yayoi Kusama）的沉浸式作品《Gleaming Lights of the Souls》，无数灯光倒映在镜面之中，仿佛置身于无边无际的宇宙。之后，我们在临海餐厅小憩，一边品尝咖啡和点心，一边欣赏宁静的海景。
这是充满鲜明对比的一天——文艺复兴与现代、文学与视觉艺术、历史与当代创作、幻想与现实。然而，两处截然不同的景点，却都展现了人类丰富而永恒的想象力。
返回哥本哈根途中，我们特意绕了一点路，希望品尝一份传统的丹麦热狗。可惜抵达时热狗摊已经打烊，附近也没有找到让我们满意的餐馆，只好返回酒店。
最后，我们来到酒店的屋顶酒吧，一边欣赏哥本哈根的落日，一边分享几道精致的小食：金枪鱼塔塔、龙虾卷和炸鱼薯条。虽然分量不大，却道道美味，又是充实而美好的一天。
Palace Visits 从王宫到自由城
July 31, 2026
We began the day at Rosenborg Castle,……
今天一早，我们首先来到罗森堡宫。。。
July 31, 2026
We began the day at Rosenborg Castle, the historic home of the Danish monarchy during the reign of King Christian IV. Today, it serves as a museum housing the Danish Crown Jewels, the royal regalia, and an impressive collection of royal treasures. Rosenborg may hold the richest collection of historical artifacts of the Denmark monarchy.
After a quick Thai lunch, we returned to the hotel for a short break and enjoyed an hour-long afternoon nap.
Refreshed, we headed to Christiansborg Palace, which served as the principal royal residence until a devastating fire destroyed it in 1794. Today, the palace is unique in that it houses all three branches of the Danish government, while the King still uses the Royal Reception Rooms for state banquets, audiences, and other official ceremonies.
Christiansborg offers five attractions open to visitors. We had already visited the tower on a previous day, so our first stop was the Royal Stables, where we saw both the current royal horses and historic state carriages. We then toured the elegant Royal Reception Rooms, which were similar to many other royal apartments we have seen throughout Europe.
The highlight for us was the Ruins beneath the palace. Christiansborg stands on the site of Copenhagen's original medieval castle, and an underground archaeological exhibition preserves the remains of two earlier castles. Walking among their ancient foundations offered a fascinating glimpse into more than 800 years of Danish history. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and had to skip the final attraction, the Royal Kitchen.
We then crossed the canal into Christianshavn to visit Freetown Christiania. If the royal castles represent elegance, wealth, and the structured authority of the Danish monarchy, Christiania offers a striking contrast—a community built on creativity, freedom, and self-governance. Colorful graffiti and weathered, makeshift buildings were everywhere, creating a distinctly bohemian atmosphere. At the same time, live music, food stalls, and a relaxed pace of life gave the neighborhood its unique charm. Whether one sees it as an inspiring social experiment or simply an unconventional way of living, Christiania is unlike anywhere else in Copenhagen.
2026年7月31日
今天一早，我们首先来到罗森堡宫（Rosenborg Castle）。这座城堡是丹麦国王克里斯蒂安四世时期的王室居所，如今已成为博物馆，珍藏着皇冠，珠宝、权杖、御用礼器，以及其它大量珍贵的收藏，堪称丹麦王室的宝库。
中午简单吃了一顿泰国菜后，我们回到酒店休息，为身体充点电。
下午精神饱满地前往克里斯蒂安堡宫（Christiansborg Palace）。这里曾是丹麦王室的主要居所，直到1794年一场大火将宫殿烧毁，王室才迁往今天的阿美琳堡宫。如今，克里斯蒂安堡宫是世界上少数同时容纳国家三大政府机构的宫殿——国会、最高法院和首相办公室都设于此，而国王仍会在这里举行国宴、接见外宾及其他重要国事活动。
克里斯蒂安堡宫共有五个参观景点。由于昨天我们已经登过宫殿塔楼，这次首先参观的是皇家马厩，欣赏现役皇家御马以及历代保存下来的华丽皇家马车。随后参观了皇家接待厅，金碧辉煌、装饰典雅，与我们在欧洲其他王宫见过的皇家居室风格相近。
最令我们印象深刻的是宫殿地下的「遗址展区」（The Ruins）。克里斯蒂安堡宫建在哥本哈根最早的中世纪城堡遗址之上，考古学家将地下发掘出的两座早期城堡遗迹完整保留下来，供游客近距离参观。漫步在古老的石墙与地基之间，仿佛穿越回八百多年前的丹麦王国，亲身感受这座城市悠久的历史。可惜时间不够，我们没能参观最后一个展区——皇家厨房。
随后，我们穿过运河来到克里斯蒂安港（Christianshavn），造访著名的自由城克里斯蒂安尼亚（Freetown Christiania）。如果说几座皇家宫殿象征着丹麦王室的优雅、富裕与井然有序的权威，那么克里斯蒂安尼亚则呈现出另一种截然不同的面貌——一个崇尚创意、自由与自治的社区。
这里随处可见色彩鲜艳的涂鸦、极为破旧的自建房屋，散发着浓厚的波西米亚艺术气息。街头不时传来现场音乐，路边摆着简朴的餐车和小摊，人们悠闲地享受着简单自在的生活。无论把它视为一场大胆的社会实验，还是一种另类的生活方式，克里斯蒂安尼亚都称得上是哥本哈根最独特、最令人难忘的地方之一。
从罗森堡宫收藏的皇家珍宝和克里斯蒂安堡宫承载的国家权力，到克里斯蒂安尼亚追求自由与自治的生活方式，我们在短短一天之内，看见了哥本哈根二种截然不同的面貌。它们彼此对比，却又共同构成了这座城市丰富而多元的文化与历史，也让这一天成为我们此次哥本哈根之旅最具层次感的一天。
A Surprise Hello at the Little Mermaid 美人鱼前的巧遇
July 30, 2026
Today, we planned to spend the day exploring Copenhagen on foot……
今天，我们计划在哥本哈根市区随便走走。。。
July 30, 2026
Today, we planned to spend the day exploring Copenhagen on foot. Our first destination was the famous Little Mermaid statue, perched on its rock by the waterfront. Along the way, we made countless photo stops, enjoying the city's beautiful streets and harbor views.
As we approached the Little Mermaid, we suddenly heard a familiar voice. To our astonishment, it was our friend! Although we knew she was also visiting Copenhagen, neither of us knew the other's sightseeing plans. She was traveling with an organized tour and following a fixed itinerary, making our chance encounter at one of the city's most iconic landmarks even more remarkable. We only had a few minutes to chat before her tour moved on, but it was enough to make us smile. It truly is a small world.
From there, we continued to Kastellet, one of the best-preserved star fortresses in Europe. Still an active military area as well as a public park, it was peaceful and beautifully maintained. Walking along the pentagon-shaped ramparts, with views of the moat and surrounding greenery, was one of the most enjoyable strolls of the day.
When we arrived at Amalienborg Palace, the Changing of the Guard ceremony was about to begin. People gradually gathered in the palace square, and we managed to find an excellent spot in the shade. The ceremony was interesting to watch, although it was simpler and less elaborate than we had expected.
We then walked back toward our hotel for lunch and a short rest. Along the way, we came across a Chinese restaurant and couldn't resist. We ordered three familiar dishes—water-boiled fish, crispy duck, and water spinach—and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. After nearly two weeks in Northern Europe, it was comforting to savor authentic Chinese flavors again.
Feeling quite tired after the morning's sightseeing, we returned to the hotel and took a two-hour nap before having dinner there.
In the evening, we had dinner at the hotel to use the €100 dining credit that came with our credit card. The food was excellent, and the restaurant had a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
Then we visited the tower at Christiansborg Palace. Admission was free, and to our surprise, there was no waiting line. Unfortunately, the sky was overcast, so we missed the sunset we had hoped to see. Even so, the panoramic view of Copenhagen from the top was a wonderful way to end another enjoyable day in the Danish capital.
2026年7月30日
今天，我们计划在哥本哈根市区随便走走。大清早在酒店用完早餐便出门开始了一天的行程。第一站是著名的小美人鱼雕像。一路上风景优美，我们不时停下来拍照，悠闲地欣赏这座城市迷人的街景与港湾风光。
当我们走近小美人鱼雕像时，忽然听见一个熟悉的声音。定睛一看，竟然是我们的朋友！虽然昨晚上才知道她也在哥本哈根旅行，但彼此都不知道对方当天的行程。她参加的是跟团旅游，一切都按照旅行社固定行程进行，没想到竟然会在这座城市最著名的景点不期而遇。我们只来得及寒暄几分钟，她便随着旅游团继续前往下一站。短短几分钟的相聚，却让人倍感温暖，也再次印证了世界真的很小。
离开小美人鱼后，我们继续前往卡斯特雷特城堡（Kastellet）。这里至今仍属于军事设施的一部分，同时也是一座对外开放的公园。沿着五角星形城墙漫步，俯瞰护城河和绿意盎然的草地，环境宁静舒适，是当天最惬意的一段散步时光。
接着来到阿美琳堡宫（Amalienborg Palace)时，中午的皇家卫兵换岗仪式即将开始。广场上的游客越来越多，我们幸运地占到了一个有荫的的好位置。整个仪式规模比我们原先想象的简单一些。
随后，我们步行返回酒店准备午餐，途中路过一家中餐馆，实在禁不起诱惑，便进去坐了下来。点了水煮鱼、香酥鸭和空心菜三道菜。在外旅游近40天了，总共没吃过几顿中餐/亚洲餐，基本都是北欧料理，能再次吃到熟悉的中餐，味道还可以，格外满足。
上午走了不少路，回到酒店后，我们舒舒服服地睡了两个小时午觉，晚上则在酒店享用了晚餐。
晚餐后，我们来到酒店附近的克里斯蒂安堡宫塔楼（Christiansborg Tower）。塔楼免费开放，不知是否因为是晩上，完全不用排队。可惜天空云层很厚，没能欣赏到期待中的日落，也看不清远处的瑞典。不过能登高俯瞰哥本哈根市景，也心满意足了。
Leaving for Copenhagen 前往哥本哈根
July 29, 2026
Before leaving for Copenhagen, we spent the morning exploring a few more of Helsinki's highlights,……
离开赫尔辛基前，我们利用上午的时间参观了几处还未造访的景点，。。。
July 29, 2026
Before leaving for Copenhagen, we spent the morning exploring a few more of Helsinki's highlights, including Oodi Central Library, the Rock Church, and the Old Church.
Of the three, Oodi Central Library impressed us the most. Its sweeping wooden façade resembles a floating ship, while the bright, open third floor is flooded with natural light from expansive glass walls. The gently sloping floor, flowing white ceiling, and rows of bookshelves create an inviting space that encourages people to relax and read. The second floor is unlike any library we have visited. It is filled with creative spaces and workshops equipped with 3D printers, music studios, sewing machines, laser cutters, and other tools. Oodi is much more than a place to borrow books—it is a community center where people can learn through books, computers, technology, and hands-on activities. We couldn't help wishing that our local library offered some of these features.
Finland’s Parliament House stood just across the highway. We also took a leisurely stroll through the nearby park, enjoying the outdoor art exhibits along the way.
The Rock Church, carved directly into solid bedrock and topped with a circular copper dome, was also fascinating. Its simple yet distinctive design creates a peaceful and unique atmosphere.
In the afternoon, we flew to Copenhagen. After checking into our hotel, we set out in search of traditional Danish food. We eventually chose a restaurant serving crispy pork sandwiches, and they turned out to be excellent.
Next, we decided to do a little scouting for the next few days, getting a general feel for Copenhagen’s city center. Along the way, we were surprised by just how many people were riding bicycles—and by the countless bikes parked along the streets.
Before long, we arrived at Nyhavn, one of Copenhagen’s most iconic postcard scenes. With its colorful buildings lining the canal and restaurants everywhere, it was every bit as picturesque as we had imagined. Of course, it was also packed with tourists.
After spending nearly two weeks in Finland, where most of the places we visited had been remarkably quiet except for our last few days in Helsinki, it felt strange to suddenly find ourselves surrounded by so many people again. We had almost forgotten what a busy tourist destination felt like!
Before nightfall, we wandered leisurely through the streets around our hotel, admiring Copenhagen’s elegant architecture and pleasant cityscape. It was a relaxing introduction to the city and left us looking forward to exploring more of Copenhagen over the next few days.
2026年7月29日
离开赫尔辛基前，我们利用上午的时间参观了几处还未造访的景点，包括 Oodi 中央图书馆、岩石教堂和赫尔辛基老教堂。
三者之中，最令我们印象深刻的是 Oodi 中央图书馆。整栋建筑以木质外墙包覆，外形宛如一艘停泊在城市中的巨轮。三楼宽敞明亮，大片玻璃帷幕将自然光引入室内，缓缓起伏的地板、流线型的白色天花板，以及整齐排列的书架，共同营造出舒适宁静的阅读空间。
二楼则完全颠覆了我们对图书馆的想象。这里设有各种创意工作坊，配备 3D 打印机、音乐录音室、缝纫机、雷射切割机等设备，供市民免费学习和使用。Oodi 不只是借阅书籍的地方，更像是一座开放的学习中心，让人们通过书籍、电脑、先进科技和动手实践不断探索与成长。我们不禁希望，自己家乡的图书馆未来也能拥有这样的功能。
岩石教堂同样令人赞叹。整座教堂直接凿建于天然花岗岩之中，上方覆盖着圆形铜制穹顶。简洁而独特的设计，与岩石浑然一体，营造出宁静祥和的氛围，让人印象深刻。
下午，我们搭机前往丹麦首都哥本哈根。办理完酒店入住手续后，我们便迫不及待地外出寻找传统丹麦美食。最后选了一家供应丹麦脆皮猪肉三明治（Crispy Pork Sandwich）的小餐厅，味道出乎意料地好，也为我们对丹麦美食留下了美好的第一印象。
接下来就是为后面几天的行程先探个路，大概了解一下城中心的情况。路上骑自行车的人以及大量停在路边的自行车让我们有些惊讶。没走多远便来到新港（Nyhavn），这是哥本哈根最经典的明信片景色。彩色房屋、运河、餐厅林立，当然游客也非常多。之前在芬兰的半个月，除了最后在赫尔辛基的那几天，其它都是没人的地方。很久没见到这么多的人，感觉都有些不习惯了。夜幕降临前，我们漫步在酒店周围的街道，欣赏这座城市优雅的建筑与宁静的街景。满怀期待地迎接接下来在哥本哈根的旅程。
