Capturing the Essence of Copenhagen with Your Camera
Whether you are on a weeklong trip or a month-long one, one essential no tourist forgets is his or her camera. You can be an avid photographer or just a casual tourist, capturing the special moments of your trip is a must for all. Therefore, it is obvious that on your trip to Copenhagen, you would never miss clicking pictures of the famed spots.
One of the most photographed landmarks, The Little Mermaid sits at Langelinie in Copenhagen Harbor. Synonymous to this city, she is a tribute to the fairytale weaved up by Hans Christian Anderson. And don’t think that the statue is the only attraction here, the beauty of the canal tour would also keep the shutters clicking.
The Kronborg Castle, exemplifying Renaissance architecture, is also another much admired tourist spot. The sprawling grounds, the impressive structure and the brilliant interiors make it one of the favorite subjects for photographers. It is also famous for its reputation as the setting for Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’.
The Rosenborg Castle, the summer palace of royalty, and the Amalienborg Castle, the winter residence, are two major attractions. The imposing exterior façade and the elegant interior décor are perfect for the royalty. You can also catch a glimpse of the Crown Jewels of Denmark at the Rosenborg Castle.
If you want picturesque views of Copenhagen, you need to climb up the Rundetaarn, the Round Tower. The oldest, and functioning, astronomical observatory of Europe, this tower was built under the orders of Christian the IV. Apart from the stunning views atop the platforms, you would also find the architecture quite enthralling.
Your album of Copenhagen would be incomplete without a few pictures of the daily life of this wonderful city. The busy shopping areas of Norrebro and Vesterbro, the cozy cafes dotting the sidewalk, and such others are photogenic in their own way.
