Christiania celebrated its 42 years that weekend, and there were concerts all over the place, and the lake’s shores were covered with young, beer in hand.
The slogan of the weekend was “Fed musik. Billig Bar. Lækker mad.” (“Good music. Cheap bar. Delicious food.”).
To know more about Christiania, I already talked about it here.
The day before obtaining CPR Betty arrived in Copenhagen for a few days. It was an opportunity to redo a Copenhagen tour and even discover new places, like Kastellet, Fælledparken or Amager Strand, where I didn’t had the time to go yet.
So this post will once again a “misc pics” post.

Another nice and exotic place in the heart of Copenhagen: the Botanical Garden.
Victoire arrived in Copenhagen Saturday night for two days before making a detour Aalborg and then flying to Bergen (Norway).
Since it was Saturday night, we had to get out! She knew two nice bars in Nørrebro.
The first one, the Kattens :
Fælledvej 12, 2200 København
t was still pretty quiet when we arrived and then bar get filled. There are only large tables so all the small groups stick to each other. You can play the DJ through an electronic jukebox and the atmosphere is quite nice.
Obviously, the disposition leads people to “get to know each other”. We came across a group of boys, not too drunk yet, who spoke to us successively in Danish, English, French. My heart still broke when one of them gave “gangsta’s going.” They wanted us to play a game where you must guess I don’t realy know what number, with your fingers. We dodged it.
Unfortunately the bar is quite small, and smoking is allowed, so it became very hard for me when more than two people close by began to smoke. After a while it was my eyes that made me realize that it was no longer possible.
We kept on with the Valhalla :
Blågårdsgade 21, 2200 København N
Smoking allowed too, but much more bearable fom the sofas in the back where we slumped. And I think also even in the middle of the bar, because the tables are further apart and the area much larger area.
I’m a little disappointed that many bars are smokers here, because I remember the Moose last year, impossible for me to just stay there, when he has the reputation of being one of the coolest bars in the city.
But anyway Valhalla was a good compromise, I will go back!
The next day, Tivoli. She did not know it because, despite the desire to see it, the price refrained her. But since I have my card that allows me to get someone in, it was an opportunity!
The tragedy of my childhood, never finding my name on that kind of stuff in France.
Bumper cars, a serious thing in Tivoli.
And two random pictures from the late walk in the city after:
And the next day, on our way to meet Rasmus for breakfast:
Tycho Brahe Planetarium.
I received my bus card in 4 days. You can have it done at a DSB office, but if you don’t need it immediately, ordering on the net will save you the cost of the passport photos – between 100 and 130 DKK.
You go there: https://www.dsb.dk/find-og-kob/indland/kob-produkter/hovedstadsomradet/opret-periodekort/?Secure=true
You chose the zones that interest you and the numbers of days you want (at least 30) For exemple a month for 2 zones cost 350 DKK. When you know a 2 zones Klippekort with 10 ways cost 150 DKK, the calculation is quickly made, it is very advantageous (unless, of course, you usually bikes to work / school everyday!).
