After we arrived Copenhagen by Thai Airways in the morning, we had 2 days to explore the capital of Denmark. But, it was not the checkin time at the hotel yet (check-in time was 15.00pm and it was just 9.00am at that time). It was not the big deal. It has luggage lockers at the ground floor of Copenhagen central station. The cost was just only 70 DKK/day (10 USD) and it can be paid by credit card.

Nyhavn (The Old Harbour)

From city hall square, we walked through Strøget street for 1.50 km to get Nyhavn which is the one of the landmark of Copenhagen. If you visit Copenhagen and you don’t visit Nyhavn, it means you never have been to Copenhagen yet. Nyhavn is the harbour what was built in 17th century by King Christian V for the trading purposes. Nowadays, it has many colorful buildings along with the canal as well as waterfront restaurant and souvenir store. We could take many ‘chic photos’ with the colorful view here. 😛
