You can't miss the fall in Copenhagen

Making the senses come alive

So what better time to stroll around the city, soaking up the good vibes, pop into one of the many acclaimed restaurants and treat yourself to some exquisite gastronomic experiences?

There is something in the mix between taking in the urban outdoor and indulging yourself in great food and wine, that really turns on your senses. Take for example These two very different but unique spots. La Banchina where you can have a dip in the harbour before or after your dinner - even have a good sweat in their sauna, and BaneGaarden, which is a new ecological oasis in the middle of the city

La Banchina

A lot is happening at Refshaleøen, a newer neighbourhood drenched in its industrial legacy. La Banchina is the epiphany of it all. One of those (slightly) hidden gems, where Copenhageners go to soak up the sun, take a dip and of course, indulge in the Italian-inspired food and natural wine...

Urban farming and Architecture

Parks and green oases have always been an integral part of Copenhagen, but lately, something new is happening. Gardens are established all over the city, on rooftops, on former industrial sites and so on. Locally grown crops are a thing now. Copenhagen is constantly evolving and the city planning and infrastructure are having a direct effect on the people both living and visiting here.

A day in the urban gardens and wild nature

There is a neighbourhood in Copenhagen where the asphalt gives way to wild species and where vegetables are something that is grown on a roof by citizens. Where beautiful vegetables are grown and delicious food is served at gatherings in a greenhouse restaurant.

How Copenhagen became an architectural paragon

Creativity, craftsmanship and democracy are all elements that for decades have helped position Denmark as a frontrunner in innovative design and architecture that improve lives. It's so much more than just the aesthetics and beauty of it all, It's about the quality of everyday life.

Copenhagen Airport

Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is with its 60.000 daily passengers the largest airport in Scandinavia. The greatest part for travellers though, is that you can be in the smack middle of the city only about 15 minutes after you entered the Metro train at the airport.
