I am swedish and love Denmark! Everything about it, the nice cities, countryside, the people, everything.
And as all the scandinavian countries, it is safe.
Bring back the Kamler union 🤗😉
Try to say “Malmö” and “safe” in the same sentence :-)
Not to do a scandi circle jerk, but as a a guy born and raised in Copenhagen, I think Göteborg is one of the most beautifull places I have ever visited!!!

What if we eat the wrong hotdog. 🤣 I'm dying. You guys are definitely a gain to this country.
This made my day, thanks!
@@TravelinYoung Hi I really like your channel...it's very interesting....try visit "Randers Regnskov" (Randers Rain forest) in Jylland..only 40 kilometers north of Arhus...worth the travel:-)
I moved in Denmark in 2009, and moved to Aarhus shortly thereafter, and love it here. I also still catch myself with the "omg I live here" feeling! When I do certain things, experience certain smells or go to certain places, especially train stations and airports, it still feels like I'm on a trip to a foreign country. :)
That is a great feeling, I hope we never lose that magic!
I just moved back to Denmark after 18 years away and I get it. That feeling overwhelms me too. Living in Århus might have something to do with it because it’s such a magical place
Counting naked butts is freaking genius! I with I had thought of that, when my son was young. He wasn’t always a fan of our museum trips.
This game served us well over the years. Turns an otherwise boring art museum into a quest to collect as many butts as possible :).
In truth, I came up with the game in a moment of desperation at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, Tunisia. They have an incredible collection of Roman mosaics from the many Roman sites around the country. Maya was about 6 at the time ans absolutely was not having any of it. We were in a room full of these mosaiscs and some statues so I jokingly asked her to count all the butts and it was like a light switch got flipped with her. We got through the rest of the museum with not problem at all. Her highest count was at Musee d'Orsay in Paris with a whopping 300+ butts😂
@@lopaisate Sounds like a museum worth visiting! Necessity is the mother of invention, right? I love it.
wow I love to see my country through your eyes, you make me appreciate the little things that I so easily overlook and forget.
Thank you so much for your videos, they have made me change my attitude to my daily life.
This is amazing to read, thanks for sharing that with us!
I can only agree with OPs statement. Getting to see my country, my day to day through your eyes, and suddenly notice the little things I take for granted, is great. And also change my behaviour to daily life, at least a little bit.
@@muhest this is so awesome.
I feel excactly the same way. Thank you, Youngs, for all your positive and inspiring energy.
Taking brainstorming to a whole new level 😂
Thanks for sharing your story, I love your spirit, and it was fun to see the pictures of Maya as a little girl. She was beautiful then, too.
Incredible to see how much Maya has grown!
I know, I just love looking back at these old photos of her from past trips. It is funny as I rarely took photos of her at home, so I revisit her getting older through the lens of various places we traveled to. That kinda makes them even more special.
Silly Danish pun joke:
Hvad kaldes røven på et egern?
En nød-udgang 😂
What is the ass of squirrel called?
A "nut-exit" / emergency exit.
nød [noe'th] = need / emergency / nut (!)
Haha, I love the planning of the eating of the wrong hotdog skit 😂 All the danes are like "wha, they got the wrong kind of hot dog", and you're all "muahahaha". Brilliant prank! Kudos and thumbs up. You Youngs are awesome. Love the videos, keep it up!
Haha!
I went to the Viking museum last Feb! Unfortunately they didn’t have too much going on because it was winter, but what a cool place. I can’t wait to go back!
Your videos are awesome! I’m planning to move to Denmark in 3 to 5 years, but I’ll be visiting in a year or so!
Denmark is a "Super good Country" Greetings from Sweden! And if we ever again have a Nordic Union, Copenhagen is our Capitol City.
Great video!
Thanks for yet another great video guys :) I really enjoy watching Denmark from foreigners perspective :) All your tours around the country brings back so many happy childhood memories. My family did also travel a lot in Denmark when I was a kid. Usually in our car with me and my sister on the backseats, sometimes sleeping in tents, sometime B&B´s/hotels and sometimes staying at friends places. Not only in DK but also often Sweden, Norway and Germany, even a few trips further south to Italy, Spain and France :) Now a days I usually only travel every 2nd year and go far away for at least a month at a time, and the year I stay home, I do stuff that's needed for the house and just enjoy the Danish summer, which can be really nice, if were lucky ;D
Oh my god, your "traveling young behind the scenes while they plan what's gonna be the next video" bit, genuinely made me laugh out loud.
Thanks for that :)
I love love love your content! keep going 💕
Thanks, we will!
Love love love! 😘😘😘
Good video guys and useful tips for a week trip in Denmark/Copenhagen area.
Also fun "behind the scenes" really humorous, the both of you :)
Haha, thanks!
Happy to see the "wrong hotdog" went home. No excuses to forget now!
I would ad the National museum, if you are interested in history and the prehistoric ages. And it is free!
It’s not free anymore, sadly.
Not free
Sometimes you need someone from abroad to appreciate your own country a little more. I think I need to rethink vacation in these Covid times and play tourist and see stuff back here at home this year. Thank you for your wonderful video's and your take on things you experience
And congratulations on 4000 subscribers!!
Thanks!! Crazy how fast things are growing now. Super cool, thanks for taking the ride with us :).
I recently found your channel and I am born and raised in lyngby so it is so fun to hear that Americans chose our lovely city to move to 😀 so fun to hear about your experiences here and I hope to see you on lyngby stadium someday 👏🏻
Yes, we hope to be there soon also! When the time comes and you see us, come say hello!
Your vlogs makes me so happy! 😀
This channel roxx!
Thanks!
Great to watch these videos 😊
Thanks!
I somehow can't stop watching your videos. As a Dane I find it quite odd somehow, but i think it has to do with you guys being entertaining, the video are wel thought out AND it's always healthy to get another perspective to what you generally take for granted.
I grew up in Hillerød, so i took the castle of Frederiksborg for granted, but now everytime i visit i go "wow - that's amazing"...
Keep it up!
That is because you simply need to know in the back of your mind, that there is still something good about this country.
Good list you guys got there,
There is also råbjergmile and møns klint to visit later...
12:00 The version of pool is called Snooker and it's quite challenging as you need to put the balls in the holes in the right order to earn the most points. You need to put one red (1 point) in a whole and then one of the other colors. You preferrable want to shot red(1)-black(7) and then back to red and then black until there's no more reds balls left then black(7), purple(6), blue(5), green(4), orange(3), yellow(2) I believe.
What a wonderful vacation you had, back in 2012. Br
Welcome back:-)
Haha this is great! Hope you enjoyed aarhus denmark
hi i am just sitting programming at work and listen to your observations about us Danes and our habits seeing our small country through your eyes makes me very much aware of how nice there in fact is here feel so proud thanks
Awesome, thanks for watching!
I think it is great, that we get your story :D
Always heartwarming to watch your videos.
Can I ask a question, well two since I already did?
What are some good destinations in Tennessee, except for Chattanooga, Dollywood, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg?
My wife and I go bird/wildlife watching a lot, so maybe you know of any good places (We've been to the Great Smoky Mountains and those aforementioned places)?
I love the way you explore Denmark. And I hope all the “ Denmarkian” is nice to you.
So far so good!
We are just called Danes.
@@tanjaliljeqvist143 ja men så en youtube fr usa hvor der var en der mente vi hed Denmakians. Så det var ment i sjov.
@@jrgenfriborg3508 😂
Reminds me of the elderly American lady who asked the guide on her cruise ship:
"So do your Vikings live on reservations here in Denmark like our Indians do back home in America?" 🙄😂
I really wish he would have answered:
"Yes, they do, but we have to keep them behind tall electrical fences for our protection, because they are so wild and blood thirsty. " 😂
She would probably have taken the next flight straight back to the US 😂
İ have seen about 50 countries and just now İ am living in Türkey (been here for 25 years now) but every day İ thank The Lord for being born in Denmark because it is so safe, no one carrying gun's and you can trust the government working for the wellbeing of the people- İt makes me happy to listen to you and İ am glad to hear that you love Denmark just like İ do. Thank you for your videos.
Stay healthy, happy, and safe.
May The Force be with you all.
My daughter and I were in Copenhagen in 2018. It was early fall and a beautiful time to go. We rented an Airbnb in the southern part of the city. Like you, we took the train to Malmo so we could say "we've been to Sweden." 🤣 We walked around for about 3 hours and then got back on the train to Copenhagen. Like you, we visited Rosenborg Castle and Carlsberg Brewery (fantastic beer; I buy it here in GA as love it so much). Our favorite part of the brewery were the horse stables. I see you met Bo, lol! I fell for Aksel with his beautiful blonde forelock that cascaded over soulful brown eyes. He kept nuzzling my cheek as I pet him. 😍 Absolutely love Danish food and learned to make frikkadeller. I made it for family recently and they loved it. It's all about the ligonberry jam and, fortunately, our local Publix carries Felix brand (imported from Malmo!). Copenhagen is a place I could live in forever and be completely content. If I were younger, I would move there and teach. I really enjoyed your video. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories. You say you grew up in Virginia. My alma mater is Old Dominion University. Your daughter is adorable. She must have felt like a princess in the gardens of Rosenborg. My daughter and I spent 3 hours in the castle and an hour walking the gardens. Copenhagen is just magical. The Danes are so soft-spoken, polite, intelligent and friendly. And of course, it's all about hygge. I wish we'd had time to visit more of Denmark. Next trip! Oh, I love Swiss Miss too. I have 2 large cartons of Swiss Miss hot chocolate with marshmallows. I will make a big mug of it now and toast you all! ☕And yes, you must try winter bathing! P.S. I just subscribed! Love your videos and Brisket 🐶!! 🇩🇰❤
Sounds like you had an amazing trip! I hope you are able to come back to see more, we've learned a ton by exploring outside of Copenhagen. Most tourism outside of CPH are Danes or Germans, totally neglected by most everyone else. I am hoping we can bring attention to all DK has to offer, such a cool country.
Enjoy your hot coco, I am super jealous! Maya did find a shop the other day that has a few american things and was able to get a box with some packets. I don't think she is going to share with us :).
Thanks for subscribing and watching!
Great vid guys it was quite fun to see the behind the scenes of the whole thinking process :) hope your staying nice and warm I no im not keep freezing my hands while walking the dog.
Haha thanks! It is super cold, but our years in Chicago helps a little :).
@@TravelinYoung yeah it's not like Scandinavian countries get cold some parts of the USA gets colder than us here in Denmark
You could visit Randers and Djursland. The rainforest, Memphis mansion, djurs sommerland, ree park and so on. A lot to see in a small area.
I love it when you say "Slot"
I really enjoy your videos. You seem to be great ambassadors for this little fairytale country. Since you like visiting museums I suggest you visit Davids Samling - it's close to Rosenborg... Davids Samling is my favourite museum, every floor a different theme.
Love you guys
Titania's Palace is amazing. It was actually bought by Legoland back in 1978 and exhibited there. It moved to Egeskov in about 2007.
Rundetårn is actually part of a church and a library. King Christian IV had it built way back in 1637-1642 and the church came some years later. There's a fun myth about why there's almost no stairs in the tower. People say that it's because the king was to fat and to lazy to walk up the tower so it would make it easier for horses to get up and down. The horses are true though, they used to transport books and astronomical equipment up and down. The observatory in the dome on top is also Europe's oldest observatory :)
Chr.4. had Rundetårn built 1637-1642 to restore Denmark's international leadership in the astronomical sciences.
A leadership achieved through the work of Tycho Brahes from his observatories Uranienborg and Stjerneborg on the island of Hven. Due to disagreements with Chr.4. Tycho left Denmark In 1597 after 21 years on Hven.
have you concidered "bakken", its inside a forrest, you can get a carridge ride and is the oldest amusementpark in the world (450+ years) easy train ride from copenhagen to klampenborg station and when you arrive you got forrest on one side and the beach on the other.
Definitely! Just waiting for nice weather and no restrictions. We love a visit to Bakken and trip to Bellevue Strand in the summer.
You should check out Sagnlandet or "The land of legends" in Lejre. Its a big and very beautiful nature area filled with recreated stuff from the viking era. The queen has even opened a new king hall there recently.
Have you been to Copenhagen City Hall? I was born and raised in Copenhagen but was 30+ the first time I was inside and as a town hall officer told me, Copenhageners are often rare guests because we are thinking that we can go tomorrow.
My family and I came to Denmark as refugees 42 years ago, from Chile. I was 6 years old and I remember we spend all weekends exploring Denmark. My mom always said that Denmark is like a beautiful postcard. You have seen so much and yet have so much left to see and experience and Im really enjoying watching your videos :) I do wonder thoug, have you been at the Frilandsmuseet? It´s situated next to Sorgenfri station and one of my favorite places to go :)
Thanks for watching and saying that! We’ve not been yet but it is high in our list. We actually live almost waking distance away, but we’d planned to go at Christmas until it closed. It will be one of the first places we go when things open up again :).
@@TravelinYoung At Halloween, it´s super creepy ;)
@@TravelinYoung Mind your head! Some of the doors in the old farm houses are very low, I almost always leave with a headache. But a very nice place to visit. In the Autumn, there is a couple of days about old variants of fruits and vegetables. You can taste some old apple - including one thought to be cultivated since Roman times. Apples don't "breed true". That means that to maintain same varietal, you need to graft a young sprig from the old tree to a new - and that has been done since Roman Iron Age.
Thats so interesting! Fingers crossed it will be open in the fall 🍎🍏
Great you're being responsible. So great following your integration and experiences with the culture.
Thanks!
I can highly recommend Silkeborg if you like to be a bit outdoors. its magical with the lakes and forrests. (alot of HC Andersens Fairytales, was inspiration from silkeborg).
a few recommendations
- Go kanoing on Gudenåen, a summer evening trip taking about 4 hours to "the glasses" is amazing in the sunset
- Go Bunkerhunting. Silkeborg was the center of the german command in jylland during WW2, so you can find alot of bunkers around the forrests, bring a flashlight and explore them as most are open.
- Svim in some of the cleanest lakes in denmark (Almindsø highly recommend)
- Hike around the forest next to the lakes and gudenåen.
theres lots of other stuff to do, like himmelbjerget. but those are my top must does.
We are lucky to have you here in Denmark 😊🇺🇸🇩🇰 Next time you visit Roskilde you should visit Roskilde Museum and also go on a tour in Roskilde Domkirke 😊
In the episode where you had smørrebrød from Torve hallerne, you were drinking quince snaps, the one you bought in Aarhus.
Joshua I would suggest Friendships.dk instead of goboat; nice leather seats and a steering wheel.
good video keep it up :) Go' weekend til jer :)
So Nice!! :)
You need to go visit my home town Kolding. Koldinghus is an amazing medieval castle!
Definitely! We went right before Christmas and went through Koldinghus. It was super cool, we really enjoyed it.
You have been to so many places in Denmark and seen so many attractions I'd soon turn to you guys for inspiration, rather than try to suggest something myself. Everytime I think of something to suggest, it turns out in the next video that you have already been there several times. If I was to chance it, and suggest something that has not been mentioned yet, I'd suggest Fregatten Jylland, Stevnsfortet or REGAN Vest (when it opens, sometime in the future).
BTW, I'd love to see the video comparing US to Danish democracy as suggested in another comment!
When summer comes, you have to ser Møns Klint 😊
If I remember correctly, that is on their itinerary of where to go after covid. They have a link to a map with destinations in one of their recent videos.
Really enjoying your videos 🤗 if by some chance when restrictions are lifted again, you should come to the southern part of Jutland. It's a very special part of the country (By chance watch The DR series "Grænselandet") and we make some really good beer here🤣
Or, in opposite part of Jutland, the small island of Læsø, it's... It's just so wonderful 💖
We will get around in time. Our goal is to see as much of DK as we can!
You should visit some of the many islands in Denmark, they are generally very charming and beautiful. From personal experience I can recommend both Fanø and Ærø.
Back in 2012 there weren"t as many boat tours as today 😊.
Next time you come to Helsingør, take a guided tour at Skibsklarerergården in Strandgade. You will get the very exciting history of our town, in an interesting building! Also take a walk around the old charming part of the town - look for the blue spots in the pavement, they will bring you to the nice places! 🙂
Will do! I also want to go to the Maritime museum, looks cool!
Fun fact about runde tårn, it was originally built with stairs, but ( I think it was ) the Zar of Russia, came to visit and wanted to be able to ride his carriage to the top, so the took down the stairs and built the ramp like thing you see in the picture.
love
When at Egeskov, you drop by Svendborg and get homemade icecream at Gelato Italia with organic milk from Fyn, their softice have ruined every other softice, it is that good.
If you haven’t been to Odense, you should go there sometime in the summer and see where H.C. Andersen lived, the museum and the beautiful garden😊
You should go to Stockholm for a weekend. it is a werry beautyful city. it take 5 hours by a fast train from Copenhagen. I would recommend it. ;)
Have you been to the Rock Museeum in Roskilde yet? The whole area around it is also worth checking out.
Have you guys been to Bornholm yet? so much there, nature (that is much different from rest of Denmar), history, fables, nice beaches. During the summer it is amazing.
We did go back in 2019 before we started on YT. But we plan to go back! :)
Love you guys, where in Lyngby do you live? I’m been living in lyngby all my live 46 years❤️
Just looking at this video, the ship at 4:09 is a ship called Donna Wood, a former lighthouse boat that was docked in Nyhavn. The skipper is named Jess, and he have tall stories to tell
That is a very busy trip. I believe that would take me into experience overload. I need to go slower. Many of the things you did are obviously things I also recommend to visitors. I also recommend the round tower, as it is one of my favorite places. And then Frilandsmuseet. I don't know if you know it. If you don't, it is definitely worth a visit.
Yeah, I'm still plagued with a mentality of having only 2-3 weeks of vacation time so needing to push through each trip. I am slowly adjusting to the concept of being able to relax more.
As for the Frilandsmuseet, we have it on our list! We live close by in Lyngby but I was waiting to go at Christmas time, but then it ended up having to be closed. That is one of the first things we plan to do when warmer weather returns along with fewer restrictions.
Haha Maya was almost the same size as brisket 😂.
Yeah the history is awesome at the Carlsberg brewery.
Haha, it is fun for me to go back and look at these older photos. And I agree, the brewery is super cool.
A little extra information: There's actually a private apartment on top of the Round Tower, just below the open area, and my, by then company made a special kitchen for that apartment!
Great content! enjoyed hearing how you might change your itinerary around, but I think anyone could say the same after visiting a country for the first time.
bc of the longer history (w. no bridges)Denmark has grown/expanded very differently from place to place..
Denmark might be small, but we have exceptional places to go! 😉❤
There are definitely so many things to see! Our list of places to go gets bigger every day :)
@@TravelinYoung
Have fun! and take us along with you ☀️
Thank you for the this video. It was interesting.
Two small points:
The oldest monarchy in the world is Japan. However, since the monarch of Japan is styled emperor rather than king, Denmark is the oldest kingdom.
There are actually three silver lions in front of the throne at Rosenborg.
Actually... Theres alot more to it than that, first off we need to also look at when the kingdom of Denmark and Japan was equal to the term we use today, Japans individual states was in all practical regard not established all that long before the danish monarchy, early legendary japanese emperors are even argued to have not been real people but pure myths. to follow up on that, we also need to look at the family line. The japanese "monarchy" has had it linage changed and altered more times than the danish monarchy, so if we look at the real defenition of "the oldest monarchy" vs. "the oldest monarchy lineage/dynasty", its argued that the Danish monarchy has a longer running straight lineage than the japanese, that as is standard in many asian countries, where they count in dynasties, purely because most of their emperors wasnt always related, and thats why they are broken down into what family or lineage that holds power, thats where the dynasty concept comes into play, the danish monarchy is the worlds oldest dynasty still sitting on the throne, in that regard the japanese monarchy cant compete, even though japan as a kingdom or empire was founded a bit earlier. Its excactly the same when we speak off the danish flag, the danish flag isnt the oldest flag in the world, it is however the oldest national flag still in use. So yes, denmark might defacto only be the 2nd oldest monarchy in the world, but the danish royal dynasty is pressumed the oldest (longest running).
Have you been to the west coast of Jutland e.g. Hvide Sande. Alternately North coast e.g. Skagen. Odense with the Danish Railway Museum. and Vadehavet and Mandø with the seabed dried out when the tide is low and fully flooded when the water comes back in.
You guys should come to Randers! We've got an Elvis museum and a rainforest! Plus you could eat at Flammen, which is an old brewery converted into a nice restaurant
We definitely plan to, this summer :).
Hi Nice to see your show of life in denmark i vant to share a snaps resapy its need a bottle with a big opening it need half vodka neutral , half brondum snaps and fresh wallnuts , the green one Not the dry you get from the complete nut when you crack it , but green you can get it on market it have to be in the bottle i 8 months and when it is total black and thik its ready , it taste so good. Love to see how you live in denmark
My Cousin built one of the replica boats in roskilde. I think the old big one will this spring be unused since its too old though.
Exciting to see your channel, I think it's a nice intro you have. I know an English family whose last name is "Old" - I told them to try to copy your intro, just change the last name in the video....... ;-)
Haha, thanks!
You mentioned Carlberg, and your visit there, I can recommend that you watch the TV Show called "Bryggeren" (the Brewer), about Carlsberg History and the Rivalry between the Father and Son.
Ooooh sounds interesting! We'll put it on our watch list
Have you visited Bornholm. You would like that I am sure👍
You should also visit Møns Klint, in the summer!
On the list!
Enjoy your take on Denmark, and you do not need the covid disclaimer :)
We all have to still keep living in these times.
Danish people will not judge you for going out as long as you use common sense and follow the rules.
Did I hear something about Tanks? As in from back during the wars? We have a few museums, showing some historical stuff from the wars, and also having a few tanks in their collection. One is near Lejre, bit outside Roskilde. There is something on Fyn, as well, I guess. I remember, once few years back we parked near by the trainmuseum thing, because my nephew is crazy about Thomas the train. And just beside the building, was I think even an American tank. Looking like either a Chaffee, or a Wolverine. And then there is Stevns, where there was I think a Centurion, and a Leopard.
Beautiful pronunciation of the city-name, when telling about the flower shop. Spot on. I suppose it's the "Kgs. Lyngby"....? I am asking because there are a few villages with that name, *other*.... than "Kgs. Lyngby"
I am not sure how you tried the things back then, in Tivoli, but through all my childhood, *before* the corona, we started having a walk around to see everything. The lines to each of the amusements, see what they have changed, how packed it was, the flowers. But also, the restaurants and places to eat. We find a place, in that amusement park, we sit down, get our food, eat. Take the things slowly, (instead of just rushing through it all). After that, we then go out again. First thing we try after a meal in Tivoli, - it *is* expensive, in Tivoli, I have to emphasize that, but after having had the meal, the stomach and system is still consuming the food, your active energy might not be too high, we start with an amusement called "Den flyvende kuffert" (The flying trunk/(suitcase)). It's named after one of the fairytales, written by Hans Christian Andersen, and take you on a journey, informing and telling about the other fairytales, being illustrated in the decorations. It's slow. It goes up and down, and turns around in curves, spins, but nothing fast, or anything about you get your head down. Among the decorations are fairytales like The Snow Queen, (The pig boy), "the little tin soldier", "the lovers", The little mermaid, the (Tinister), (the soldier with the which, and where he is in the cave down in the tree, with the three dogs on each their suitcase, with money) the Nighting gale (about the little bird and the Emperor). I can't remember all of them, but there is a lot. And if you read them, it will be easier to recognize the fairytales in the decorations. I do remember the last one, is with the Traveling buddy, but also a reference, to something Hans Christian Andersen once said: "To travel, is to live". You, of all, can tell if that is your experience too....
Haha, yep, real military tanks :). A friend of mine in Berlin found a place where you can drive one...we will definitely be going!
Tivoli is fantastic. We have season passes and go pretty often. Sometimes just for an hour and Miranda and Maya ride a couple rides and then we go on. I don’t have a ride pass so I haven’t really done many, but I like the atmosphere, the seasonal decorations, and food options.
@@TravelinYoung Through my childhood, and time growing up, it was one of the things we HAD to do. There is the "old rollercoaster" where pictures are taken of each passenger. That's just like an open train, little waggling, round in curves, and then just up and down over the hills built. There is also one, where it's simply just one big playground. A sort of a ladder where the steps are moving. They're solid metal, your feet can't get through, because it's a solid wall behind the moving steps. One big wheel inside of a box. There was once, as I recall it, and you could see into it from the rollercoaster.
How well do you know the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen? I know he is fame all over the world and his fairytales are translated into several different languages.
The Hulk Hogan idea was bomb 🤣
If Josh likes fishing (like 80% of the Americans I know do LOL) Denmark offers many great OPPORTUNITIES!
Did you know that Walt Disney came to Copenhagen and Tivoli? He loved it so much that when he build Disney World he had Tivoli in the back for his head as an inspiration
That is cool!
Its fun following you guys. Some things are ´new´to me, eventhough Im danish. :-)
Im thai married, so I have taken my wife to many of the same places, as The Youngs have visited.
I think Denmark is a neat place.
Did you ever consider visiting The Faroe Islands? Theyre a part of The Danish ´´Umbrella´´ Rigsfællesskabet (Greenland too)
Thanks! We have for sure! In fact I had flights booked there twice that were cancelled due to covid. We will get there though :).
Yeah I agree with you on Malmö, it is not the nicest Swedish city. Stockholm was much more fun. If you ever go there, try and get a room in the Chapham Hostel (in swedish: Vandrarhem) which is an old sailing ship! And you absolutely must visit the Vasa museum. The museum is built around a 17th century ship that ran into the ground on its maiden voyage and remained totally preserved. Absolutely amazing to see.
One of the most fun things to see from channels like this is seeing the foreign perspective on the culture i grew up in. Danes love to hear how others see us since we obviously are biased. 😋 Hope you have gotten an amazing reception here and will talk about how danes are mad weird 😅 cause i bet we are 🥸 also did you follow the handballteam at the world cup?
Thanks, glad you like it! While I followed the handball and knew the results, I don't really understand the sport yet :). Congrats though!
@@TravelinYoung Right back at you being danes now 🤓
I can also recommend FÆNGSLET (the PRISON) in Horsens. The old state prison that has been converted to a prison museum. And if you time it right, you can go the medieval festival as well
The mideval festival is great!
The third weekend in August every year.
Can you maybe do a video about danish democracy and goverment seen from a americans perspective? As you know it’s pretty different from the U.S
That would be interesting. I will work to get a danish friend to join and represent the Danish side and we can compare it to how the system in the US works - or is meant to work :). Thanks!
@@TravelinYoung you might already know, but in case you don't and can use the info... You can visit Danish parliament even when it is in use and you can see them have debates and such (you will watch from the balcony and pictures and video is allowed just no flash) (edit: and it is free of course - just need a security check kind of like at airports)
Goddamn! You guys saw more of DK in one week than I do in a year!😅
I’m 37 now and I have never heard of LEGO House!😅
You should watch the Netflix program about it. I didn’t know about it before I saw that, even being from Esbjerg I had not heard about it
Hi guys you got to go to Bornholm you haven't seen the whole of Denmark if you haven't been there
"What if we eat the wrong kind of hotdog?" As one of the danes commenting on that, that one cracked me up.😄
Haha!
When you have the chance, you should try visit Tøjhusmuseet.
They have old kannons and guns, and a lot more war relatated things, back in time.
Normally (covid free) they would have a Middelage market, whith a tournament, under Pinse ferien.
We haven't, but I just added it to our list. Thanks!
@@TravelinYoung I did Google it, and they hace changed the name to Krigsmuseet/ Orlogsmuseet sinse the last time I was there.
Btw isn't it Egeskov where there is a miniature library where every book is handwritten?
you should really visit the german ww2 bunkers scattered along the westcoast in jylland (if you haven't already).. would recommend hanstholm as the first visit :)
Going to as many countries as possible, reminds me of an old US movie called " If its Tuesday it Must be Belgium" ! Did you see that.. about a group of Americans in Europe for 14 days visiting 13 countries I believe..😳
That sounds stressful! I’ve not seen that.
I went to 'Universe' a few years ago and it's so worth a visit! Check it out, it's really near the German border
Universe Science Park I pressume. It's a lot like the 'Experimentarium' in Copenhagen. Definately fun for kids, especially if the like science, but just a lot of cool things to play with, and hopefully learn a few things.
