Copenhagen - the bike haven

I left Turku at 6:45 in the morning. The airport there has a total of 4 terminals, a stark difference between that of Copenhagen's, the largest airport in Scandinavia. After landing here at 7 am local time, I decided to make my way slowly towards the hotel, with two heavy bags dragging behind me. Locals here are very sweet and eager to help, but I was sent in the complete opposite direction 3 out of 3 times. The hotel is situated, conveninetly, in the heart of the old city, 1 block away from the central metro station and within walking distance from all the big parks, the castle, and the central shopping streets. Unconveninetly however, one must haul one's luggage up 7 flights of stairs (or more, depending where your room is).

Copenhagen is a gorgeous city! Its population I think is around 1.2 million people (compare that to Turku's 150,000). It's also the place in Europe to take your standard artistic "bike-leaning-against-brick wall" photo. I have never seen so many bikes in one place in my life. It's actually quite awesome! Wiki tells me that 36% of the population here commutes to work and that it is considered one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities.
One more day before I head home! Oh, and despite the blog title, the stop in Copenhagen was not for work ;)
