Vester Voldgade
/On Saturday morning there was a small flea market on Vester Voldgade.
Hans Cristian Andersens Boulevard, with some of the heaviest traffic in the historic centre, is just a block away to the south but Vester Voldgade is the street that runs down from the city hall and Rådhuspladsen to the harbour and Lille Langebro - the pedestrian and bicycle bridge to Christianshavn on the other side of the harbour.
There is little through traffic here or, rather, few cars but there is a wide pavement on one side - the sunny side - with trees and seats and there are bicycle lanes on both sides. It was interesting to see just how many stall holders had arrived on their cargo bikes and just how many cyclists stopped off to browse and buy.
Yet again, this shows how people in the city use public outdoor space. Events out on squares or on street pavements have always been popular but now, with Coronavirus, it makes sense to be outside.
