Copenhaven - Stoget Copenhagen taken in 2012.


The pedestrian street "Strøget" is a maze of several walking streets that runs from east - the Town Hall Square - to west - the Kings Square (Nytorv) and to Nyhavn. This pedestrian walking street - passes trough the central parts of the city as well as the old medieval city and Latin Quarters - and is connected to many large historical squares.








 
The busy - Frederiksberggade in 1929 - and long before it was turned into the longest pedestrian in the world - established as "Strøget" in 1962. Source

  8. Such gorgeous buildings and brilliant blue skies. It must have been a cold day though - lots of people wearing scarves and jackets.

  14. I have always wanted to go to Denmark ... ever since I was a little girl and watched the old movie about Hans Christian Andersen. Don't you just love the European tradition of strolling and sitting outside to have a drink and people watch?
