Copenhagen

First weekend of November I was in Copenhagen. My first visit. I was impressed by smooth organization.  There is so much elegance when things are well organized. The airport is almost hassle free. Security is smooth. The boards inform you how long does it take to pass security (1 min was my experience!!).

A train ticket from the airport to the center costs EUR 5. A ticket for a rickety bus from Boryspol to Kiev is more expensive and you will stand in the bus too.
I was lucky with the weather. Sunny and warm. Overall had great time and I am looking forward to go back.

Highlights of the weekend visit:

The Royal Library - the Black Diamond. The photography exhibition by Gregory Crewdson "In a Lonely Place" http://www.kb.dk/en/dia/udstillinger/crewdson.htmln Photos have a magical atmosphere.

The Royal Opera: the ballet "Evening for Broadway" in the stunning building.

The Thorvaldsens Museum: amazed how productive life he had. Great building with funny exhibition of photos where sculptures where put contemporary items on.

Christiania - but it deserves a separate post.
