Yes, and we loved Nyhavn. Copenhagen and Stockholm are laid out well
for walking and have really good public transportation for long
distances. Our last trip two years ago, we were disappointed that the
Stroget (walking street) in Copenhagen had been transposed from a
street full of local artisan shops to a high fashion designer mall.
Much of the charm has been lost as a result.

Sad isn't it. I think that has happened over the years since I was first
there in 1999. When I was there two years later there seemed to be more and
mark of the marketing hype, and even more this time. It is also disappointed
to see all the advertising on the buildings. It was bad enough that the
buildings across from the city hall have so many neon signs on them, but at
least you only see that at night. What was really disappointing in the
Stroget was to see a lovely old building covered with a huge sign.
