The Tivoli Gardens of Copenhagen Wish You Were Here
Blog: Suzy Guese - 9 December 2011
A few screams fill the cool night air of Copenhagen. My first time in the city, I was skeptical of its amusement park at the center. The Tivoli Gardens fill Copenhagen’s heart on more levels than one. You come here to be entertained, but strangely not in a kitschy, amusement park sense. The Tivoli Gardens [...]

When they renovated the Ibsens hotel in Copenhagen the bit they didn’t change was the iconic red neon Hotel sign and that just about sums it up; a little bit retro, a lot of modern design, a smattering of vintage and a big part of the neighbourhood.

Weekend in Copenhagen
Blog: Roving Gastronome - 24 October 2011
I spent the first couple of days in Copenhagen thinking it was just like Amsterdam: Semi-dreary weather that fosters gezelligheid, I mean hygge… Loads of bikes… Snazzy design… Common-sense outlook… But some variations started to creep in, the more I looked around. The buildings were taller, pointier. The people weren’t taller, but they were pointier [...]

Bike + train = adventure in Copenhagen
Blog: Heather on her travels - 27 July 2011
One of the things that strikes you (hopefully not literally) on the streets of Copenhagen are the sheer number of bikes, three deep at every traffic light, parked randomly outside every building, constantly streaming by as Copenhageners go about their work and play.

In search of the perfect Smørrebrød – in Copenhagen
Blog: Heather on her travels - 29 June 2011
In anything epitomises Danish food, it must be the Smørrebrød. This open sandwich is made with dark rye bread topped with an endless combination of pickled herrings, cured meats and onions or salad and is not to be confused with the Swedish Smörgåsbord, which is more of a buffet style meal (better not mention the Swedes, [...]
