Well, it better not be like any other boring old library right? This library is huge, and just walking around it is a cool feeling. There's free wifi and plenty of areas to roam or sit. It's also right by the water, where I sat and enjoyed the breeze before taking the train back.

It's a lovely little library on the side of Holmbladsgade (inside the Kvarterhuset) where there is…read moreborgerservice as well and a small cafe. This library is small, but it's cozy (or as the Danes say hyggeligt). There's manned section downstairs and a self-service station, but the ground floor is just for reserved materials and some library computers to use while the books are upstairs. Although this library doesn't have so many books, they belong to the network of Copenhagen/Denmark libraries, which means that you could reserve your book from any library in Denmark and pick your book here for your convenience.

This library was quite stunning…read more The black exterior caught my eye as I walked along the waterfront and drew me inside. A busy cafe with in and outdoor seating was quite full. Given the setting it made sense. I took an elevator up to the 6th floor to experience the amazing viewing area. Very modern and clean lines throughout the interior of the library. Views encompassed not only all the floors but out towards the river via the floor to ceiling glass windows. It was worth it to walk down the stairs to each level and see the different perspectives. I'd be very happy visiting a library of this caliber every week back home.

Really enjoyed spending some time in this library which is also known as the Black Diamond…read more Its a masterpiece in terms of architecture and I loved checking out this place on a cold, dark, rainy day in Copenhagen. Place is great for a nice stroll up through the many floors of the library and the open area looking down is just breathtaking. There is also an older part of the library connected so you contrast the difference between the old library and the new one. There's also a nice gift shop here too but I noticed most of the books on sale here were in Danish. Definitely worth a visit when you're here in Copenhagen. The jog right next to the library is also really nice as its right by the water and very scenic.

The University of Copenhagen's library which belongs to the Humanities Faculty is spacious, clean…read moreand open to all! Only minus (and this is kind of a medium to large-sized minus), is that they close at 7 o'clock! Kind of annoying if you're one of those (like me) that get their brain cells a-startin' only after 5. And for some reason, it's was really hard to find when I first went there. My friend who I was going to study with even drew me a map. Might be that I am not all that clever when it comes to directions, but how hard can it be? Apparently; kind of hard. To save you some time: it's the building by the basket ball courts. Other than that, what I really love about this library is the amount of light that is let in, the spacious study tables in the third floor, clean (at least on the third floor and compared to disgusting CBS) toilets and the easy-breezy, but quiet atmosphere that rules here. Tip: you're allowed to chit-chat on the second floor, the third floor is for serious. hard-core students and the odd middle-aged man looking for dates online.

What can I say about Nyhavn that hasn't already been said? It's iconic! You can't visit Copenhagen…read morewithout seeing it. It's just as beautiful and scenic as seen in famous photographs and paintings. It survived the Great Fire that destroyed most of Copenhagen. A famous Danish fairytale writer lived in not 1, but 3 of these houses on the waterfront. That's right! There are wall plates designating the buildings that Hans Christian Andersen lived in along Nyhavn. So, why 4 stars? It's a huge tourist attraction! That means it's super crowded with many travelers taking canal and Inner Harbour cruise tours. It's lined with cafés and restaurants on both sides of the canal. All of which look amazing yet are pricier than the ones you see tucked away from all this hype. The outdoor tables at these restaurants are all taken along the canal. There's certainly lots of people watching going on here. We were told to be aware of pickpocket activities. To be honest, it's just like any other crowded tourist spot. Don't let that discourage you. There's a hot dog stand here that appears to be very popular. Just know that there are many throughout the city that are just as good and with better seating. With all that said, it was still an amazing sight to see. It's probably best to give yourself more time to browse through everything that this area has to offer. It's a fun & happening place to be. Go there in the early morning hours for a calmer experience. You'll get better picture opportunities of the brightly painted buildings with the reflections off the water.
