I arrive in Copenhagen at 9:30 a.m. Slept little to none, but who cares. The weather is amazing — 19 degrees Celcius and full-on sunshine. I’ve got the whole day to explore this brand new city. Plenty to see. I’d found a nice walking route beforehand and I’m soaking up every second of my first full day outside.
Overall, the city feels pretty calm, and I can take everything in at my own pace — except at the Little Mermaid, of course. Total madness there. So I move on quickly and sit down at a picnic table by the harbor with a tasty sandwich and some coffee I brewed myself.
Even after a sleepless night, I end up walking the whole day. Around 6 p.m., I check into my hostel, grab a pizza, and not long after — at 8:30 p.m. — I crash hard in my bunk bed at A&O Copenhagen Sydhavn. I don’t even hear my roommates come in, but when I wake up the next morning, five people are still snoring around me. And I slept through it all — without earplugs!
