The centre of Amsterdam is overcrowded every Summer weekend.
One of the main tourist attractions of the city is The Red Lights District that can be dangerous at evenings.

Of course we visited famous FEBO fast food restaurants, Vondelpark, brown bars, Freddy's bar that was opened by Freddy Heineken. And Heineken Experience (Brewery Museum), The biggest Homomonument in the world. And many other famous museums.

Welcome to Denmark.
Denmark is a Scandinavian country comprising the Jutland Peninsula and numerous islands.
On holiday in Denmark we visited Copenhagen, Vordingborg and village Orslev. We visited Moen island, Masnedo island and Falster islands riding our scooters.
There are many beautiful castles in Denmark. It seems every city has its own castle and rich history. Outside Copenhagen we visited Kronborg Castle, Fredensborg Castle and Frederiksborg Castle.
One of the most interesting tourist attractions in Copenhagen is Christiania which is sometimes called District of Hippie, where everyone can buy marihuana. But it's strictly prohibited to take dgrugs to the city. This area has its own laws and is a kind of independent territory inside Copenhagen.
According to the United Nations World Happiness Report, the Gallup World Poll, and the European Sociological Survey, Denmark almost always ranks first in the rankings of the happiest nation in the world. I assure you it is !
Freedom, healthy and delicious food, the Baltic Sea, open and friendly People, the biggest shopping street (here you can find everything, even the famous Jysk furniture store that left Russia), smorrebreds and sweet herring, Licorice which is very popular here, Lego and Bluetooth ( the latter is named after one of the ancient Danish kings), an abundance of pubs with the best beer and many chic museums, Tivoli Park, cozy and warm atmosphere with ideal infrastructure and the widest bike paths in the world. The homeland of Christian Andersen reminds me of a childhood fairy tale... It's impossible to list everything! Welcome to Paradise !
Christiania.
Freetown Christiania, is an intentional community and commune of about 850 to 1,000 residents, covering 7.7 hectares in the borough of Christianshavn in the Danish capital city of Copenhagen on the island of Amager.
Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. Since then, relations between Christiania and Danish authorities have been strained. Since the beginning of the 2010s, the situation has been somewhat normalized and Danish law is now enforced in Christiania.

An occasion to drink beer, the very thing that Yuri Gagarin drank. The Danish brewing company Carlsberg (brands Carlsberg, Kronenbourg, Holsten, Tuborg, the owner of the Baltika breweries) has decided to leave Russia completely. I tried their Danish varieties, very fragrant and tasty. They also produced the most expensive beer, because the batch was limited due to wheat...
P. S. Carlsberg Vintage. This drink costs $395 a bottle. Sold only in a few restaurants in Copenhagen. Only 600 bottles are produced per year. The cost of the first batch was 2008 Danish kroner, which corresponded to the year of issue.
