Before we dream of a white Christmas, watch Santa Claus kiss mom and watch Christmas movies flat out, we need to experience the Christmas spirit in Copenhagen! Every single day of December offers magical experiences that will make even the biggest Grinch look forward to Christmas.

Halloween is over, the leaves are almost completely off of the trees and the Christmas spirit is starting to spread in Copenhagen, on the radio and on the supermarket shelves. In this edition of Unfolded, we'll dwell on both the final stage of autumn and slowly look forward to Christmas confectionery and Santa hats.

Autumn is a season that calls for both cool indoor and outdoor experiences, which Copenhagen is full of all year round, but extra cosy when the weather gets a little cooler. I want to take long walks in nature, look for cosy bars and restaurants, and step up my cultural activity level.

As someone who has previously lived in both Sydney and London, Copenhagen can easily feel very small. However, my sense of direction can still fail me - and thankfully so! This means I'm constantly finding new things and in this edition of Unfolded, I want to take you on a tour de whoops and share some of the gems I've accidentally discovered.

There's still plenty of sunshine to soak up (with the right amount of sunscreen, of course), and this time we're taking advantage of the good weather to take a trip to the eastern parts of Copenhagen, namely Tårnby and Dragør.

It's time to put away the winter jacket and grab our sunglasses out of the drawer. It's spring, and we're off to take it all in, go for a walk around the harbour and, of course, get something delicious to eat.
