This last post about my 48 hours in Copenhagen (alternative title – “Did you really go to Copenhagen just for a burger?”) is about possibly the weirdest place you can visit in the city – Cisternerne. The Cisterns is an old water reservoir found beneath the Søndermarken park in Frederiksberg. For some crazy reason, it … More 48 Hours in Copenhagen – Cisternerne
Copenhagen has some of the best and unique food in the world. Unfortunately for my food-loving Husband, we didn’t try any of it. It’s just not my scene, guys – I don’t think I could ever promise to be interested in a classic Noma meal or a trip around the iconic food markets. I do … More 48 Hours in Copenhagen – What We Ate
We don’t normally celebrate our wedding anniversary – it’s too close to both our birthdays and the start of the academic year, so no really effort is made and we’re both fine with that. This year however, we thought we should do something special to mark the big 1-0. Our immediate thought – Copenhagen. Our … More 48 Hours in Copenhagen
Our final day (morning, really) was the first cold day. It was about 5°c outside, and fortunately not raining. Oh, to have this weather for the whole trip – I could have worn my snow boots a lot more. My Copenhagen trips used to follow to set formula for the last day: Lazy long breakfast Wander … More Christmas in Copenhagen – back to reality
The 27th doesn’t have a cute Danish name, which honestly, really messes with my holiday blog nomenclature. However, we came to know the time after Jul as “Kick-Down Christmas” because everywhere we looked, decorations were being ripped down. I quite like this concept – Christmas is over, kick it all down. Anyway, as alluded to … More Christmas in Copenhagen – Kick-Down Christmas
Spoiler alert – the next two “Christmas in Copenhagen” posts aren’t about Copenhagen at all. Scandalous. Our weather luck ran out on Christmas Day 2 (aka Boxing Day) and we awoke to drizzly rain. We never worry too much if there’s bad weather (blizzard-mageddon has put everything into context for us) so out we went … More Christmas in Copenhagen – 2. Juledag
The weather reports we’d been watching (in Danish) kept mentioning a juledag 1 and juledag 2. We got completely baffled, until we realised they meant Christmas Day and Boxing Day. I suppose it doesn’t make much sense that we call it Boxing Day really. Anyway, we planned to spend Christmas Day 1 in Tivoli, another … More Christmas in Copenhagen – 1. Juledag
Today was the day we were most worried about in terms of finding things to do as the Danes have Christmas Eve (juleaften) as their main event. We decided to let it go and do nothing. Just have a wander about. We headed up to Kongens Nynorv again, and walked down to the Kastellet fortress. Not before … More Christmas in Copenhagen – Juleaften
Christmas used to be my favourite time of the year but I’ve felt my feelings on it change over the last couple of years as I’ve got older. I try not to be a miserable grinch, but from the minute the shops start playing Christmas songs after Halloween, I start grumbling. So Husband and I … More Christmas in Copenhagen – Lillejuleaften
There were many things that made me love Eurovision 2014 in Copenhagen this year: the plea for tolerance from Pollaponk, the struggle to grow a moustache from Twin Twin, and the beautiful Conchita Wurst sobbing as she won, to name just a couple of my favourite moments. Aside from the music, I was simultaneously amused and baffled … More You soft-hearted, liberal cow
