Denmark’s Whiskey belt is probably going to be my next travel destination. After reading the NYtimes article on the belt, I am very influenced. People visit the Whiskey belt for the narrow strip of beaches, forests, and great public gardens. This does sound like fun to me.
Whiskey Belt?
Although the term Whiskey belt is a bad name given to the place, it still works a many locals will agree. Why did they label this place Whiskey belt? Well, the story goes: the people in Copenhagen drink a lot of cheap beer whereas,the north side of Copenhagen is so good that people drink whiskey. Speaking of which, I can’t wait to try out some Danish alcohol.
If you compare this part of the world to US, you will find some great similarities. The single artery of Strandvejen resembles the Pacific coastline. Copenhagen is connected by mass transit system very much like NYC or any other big city. The system is called S-train.
Copenhagen:
Copenhagen is a very unique city. Coupled with awesome outskirts/countryside and lengthy festivities, the place truly is a paradise for visitors. I am positive that you won’t ever be bored. The best and most comfortable time to visit Copenhagen would be between the months of May through September.
Several interesting tourist spots like the Bakken and Tivoli. Bakken is home to the world’s oldest amusement park. An interesting FYI here: The amusement park owners are called tent holders. There is also a Deer park right behind the beach.
If you get hungry you can grab a bite at Pieter Lieps Hus (a restaurant in the neighborhood). Also you can drop in at Strandmoeller Kroen to taste the Danish food.
So if you want to magnificent lights of Tivoli park, and enjoy the splendid Danish culture with a blend of Danish food and wine, come on down to Copenhagen. I am positive that you will have a blast.
