Ikea in Denmark

Ikea is big here. All the furniture in our apartment is from Ikea and that's pretty standard. There are three Ikeas in the Copenhagen area. They are all located on the edge of the city, but they're still pretty accessible. The picture below shows some of the bike racks. Although there was parking, it was nothing like the huge lots at the American Ikeas. There were lots of people who had ridden bikes: it was hard to find a spot!

On Saturday, Ziyu and I were biking home and happened to be going by Ikea. Since we didn't have anything else planned, we decided to stop.
Overall, it was pretty similar to Ikea here. The biggest difference was that they sold appliances!

Ikea is supposed to have cargo bikes and bike trailers that you can borrow to take things home. I didn't see any on Saturday, but there are pictures here. There was a lot more space dedicated van/truck rentals than at an American Ikea, which makes sense considering how few Copenhageners own cars.

We did end our Ikea trip as any good trip to Ikea ends: with soft serve ice cream after check out. The ice cream was only 5 kroner (about 90 cents), which is way cheaper than anything you can buy here.
