To start the fifth day of mobility well, we went to the Limhamns Motesplats senior center – a bit away from the city center. On site, together with Swedish seniors, we took part in exercises to improve body balance. We practiced our balance and how to breathe properly while performing physical activity so that our body is properly oxygenated.
After waking up for exercise, we took a train to the capital of Denmark. From the station we went to the longest promenade in Europe, 1.1 km long, i.e. the largest shopping zone in Copenhagen – Strøget, located in the heart of the city. From there we went to the tower of Christiansborg Palace to admire the wonderful panorama of Copenhagen. This tower is the tallest tower in the city and measures 106 meters. Then we visited Frederiksstaden – the most popular Danish district, home to Amalienborg Palace, the seat of the Danish royal family, and Marmorkirken (Marble Church), boasting the largest church dome in Scandinavia. We were very lucky because when we arrived at the square next to the Palace, we had the opportunity to see the ceremonial changing of the guard.
Saying goodbye to Copenhagen, we went to one of the most characteristic places in Copenhagen. Nyhavn, because this is the name of the extremely charming port. It owes its photogenicity to the numerous, colorful tenement houses situated on a narrow canal and the forest of wooden sailboat masts moored to the waterfront. At Nyhavn 20 there is a house where the most famous Danish writer, Christian Andersen, lived and worked, among others. fairy tales such as: “Ugly Duckling”, “Thumbelina” or “The Princess and the Pea”. A photo at this house was almost obligatory for seniors. 😉
After the whole day, they were a bit tired, but at the same time very satisfied with the trip, we returned to the hotel to regenerate for the last day.
