Nyboder Yellow: The Imaginative Yellow Houses of Copenhagen, Denmark
Nyboder Yellow
There’s nothing more optimistic than to walk along the Nyboder Yellow in Copenhagen, Denmark (though here’s an inside
scoop, the original colors of the development of this array of nearly alike
houses were red and white). I was in search for that kaleidoscope streets that
Denmark is known for, and though it’s clearly yellow over here, you can easily
enjoy this place.
We were on a casual weekend city stroll around the area; we did not have
anything particular in our itinerary. We wanted to be adventurous and get lost
in Copenhagen. But, the thing is you don’t exactly get lost because it’s quite
easy to navigate your way through the streets, signs, and friendly
neighborhood. Budding above the low roofs from afar is this beautiful church belfry. And like a compass, we were drawn to that area. It’s this 1800s St. Paul's Church, which is in the middle of the Nyboder area, a red brick with blinds, arches, columns, as well as pinnacles on all corners.
To its side, we saw these sunset yellow houses that used to be for
enlisted personnel of the Danish Navy, Army and Air Force. We also saw the
Edouard Suenson Memorial, Christian IV statue, and Nyboder's school. It’s a
different kind of blast from the past, considering how everything looks like.
It’s as if you stepped into an old movie set but not quite. It’s as if you were
back in time, but in a parallel universe. There’s something about it that I
really can’t quite put my words on, but certainly something I wouldn’t mind
walking around and checking out. It’s one of the rare normal-city-areas that
stirred my imagination the most. It’s a must visit if you are ready to have
your own interpretation of an unusual travel visit place when in Copenhagen,
Denmark.
