So I am in Sweden on a business trip and will stay over the weekend. What to do when you are “trapped” in Malmö over a weekend?

Well, you take the train (30 minutes or so) to Copenhagen. And end up in central Copenhagen just in front of Tivoli and 5 minutes walk from StrØget. So we did – me, mother and Robert.

We arrived in Copenhagen around 11 am and walked along StrØget to Nyhavn where, I think, my grandfather grew up. And continued the walk to Kastellet to have a look at the Lille Havefrun (little mermaid), but she was on vacation at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai 🙁 But we got a live feed so we could have a look anyway, and there were always the souvenirs 😉

From Kastellet we took a ferry over to Holmen and walked to Christiania. The free haven for hippies and druggies. It was a bit trashy, and though I thought they were not allowed to sell drugs there anymore they still sold hashish in the open.

Instead of buying hashish we quickly hurried out and found a restaurant where we could have some smØrrebØd

We walked around for a while more in beautiful Copenhagen before we took the train back to Malmö, where we had dinner at the hotel again. This night it was chocolate mouse… for desert 🙂
