Four Highlights From Copenhagen, Denmark

The main purpose of my trip to Copenhagen was to see the pandas – I always keep an eye on good deals for trips to places on my list, and so this time travelling meant I would have a whole day to visit the zoo and two half days to see anything else. This is definitely not enough time for all of the must-sees in Copenhagen, but there were really just a few things on my list to see in the time. With only a short amount of time, it doesn’t really give much option for going into many museums or galleries – so a lot of things were very much me looking from the outside!

Copenhagen Zoo

I’ve already talked about the pandas at Copenhagen Zoo – now for the rest! It’s a large zoo with a lot of different species to see. It’s just outside the city centre, you can take the bus, however we walked from the centre and it took around 35 minutes and was a pretty direct walk. Even in late January it wasn’t too bad to walk in the chillier weather. The vibe of the zoo really reminded me of Edinburgh Zoo, maybe it was the similar cold January climate, or the design of the buildings and enclosures. The zoo has been able to expand across the street, with an underpass connecting the sections. The zoo is split into different themed regions to split the species on show – it’s well indicated on the map, but I didn’t feel the difference so much while I was there myself. But it makes it a good path to follow through the 4 main regions.

Copenhagen Zoo is one of the most recent European zoos to become home to a pair of pandas! Copenhagen Zoo is one of the oldest in the world, whilst some parts show the age of the Zoo, there are also some new modern buildings and designs – which include the brand new panda enclosure. One thing I quite liked was the live webcam before the pandas even arrived so you could watch the enclosure being built – that’s definitely something different! The pandas have now lived there for a year following their move to Denmark in April 2019, and their enclosure was officially opened by Royalty. The pandas are based very centrally in the zoo between the Asian and Northern areas, so it’s easy to check out some animals and then come back in case the pandas aren’t out or aren’t doing too much when you first arrive.
