  1. Eat the Neighbourhood in Nørrebro, Copenhagen

    Blog: Heather on her travels - 3 February 2012

    If there’s a fine line between a neighbourhood that’s trendy and up and coming or slightly dodgy and worth keeping your wits about you, then Nørrebro in Copenhagen must be treading that line. But if you’re a gourmet at heart then this area of the Danish capital is worth exploring, with a number of great food destinations [...]

  3. 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 [...]

  5. Ibsens Hotel in Copenhagen – an affordable boutique hotel in Nansensgarde

    Blog: Heather on her travels - 29 November 2011

    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. The neighbourhood in question is Nansensgarde, just a stone’s [...]

  7. 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 [...]

  8. A parade of children at the Copenhagen Carnival – video

    Blog: Heather on her travels - 10 August 2011

    As we walked along Strøget, the main shopping street of Copenhagen the carnival sounds of drumming and singing reached our ears. Down the pedestrianised road streamed a parade of children dressed in bright pink and green with bells and whistles with mums and dads hovering around on the sidelines or dressed up and walking with [...]

  9. 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. But did you know that bikes are not just for getting around [...]

  12. 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, [...]

  13. Elephants on Parade in Copenhagen

    Blog: Heather on her travels - 22 June 2011

    I’ve done painted Pigs in Bath, I’ve spotted Bears in Bavaria and now I’ve seen an Elephant Parade in Copenhagen – this painted animal parade thing is clearly catching on! This idea of using painted animals around city streets as a charity fund raiser is a trend that’s becoming worldwide, and I’ve heard they’ve been [...]

  16. What can you eat for 500 Krone in Copenhagen?

    Blog: Heather on her travels - 11 June 2011

    Copenhagen may be a gourmet destination where Michelin star restaurants are two a penny, but you won’t find eating out is cheap here. A meal in a pleasant restaurant will easily set you back £50 a head with a typical set menu starting from a bargain price of around 350 Danish Krone (around £40, €46, [...]

    Blog: London Cosmopolitan - 26 April 2011

    One of the perks of living across the pond is that we get Good Friday and Easter Monday so most of us in Europe get a nice long four-day weekend for Holy Week. This year in the UK, we also get an extra bank holiday to celebrate the marriage of Prince William to Catherine Middleton. If you haven't heard, there is a  Royal Wedding taking place in London on Friday 29 April and we get the day off! Lucky us -- two back to back four day weekends and of course, travel!

  21. We Blame Mikkeller Bar

    Blog: thebeergeek.com - 22 December 2010

    Needless to say, the morning after our night at the Mikkeller Bar in Copenhagen was probably the roughest of the whole trip. The day before, we had great plans for our second day, doing all the touristy things available to visitors of Copenhagen. Unfortunately, we got a late start. We blame the Mikkeller Bar. We [...]

    Sometimes even I’m surprised at the lengths we’ll go to get a brewery added to The List. But with a goal of hitting brewery #600 well within sight, every effort to make additions had to be made on this trip. Our excursion further north to Denmark was one of those extra efforts. People have suggested [...]

  24. Cosy up in Copenhagen at Avenue Hotel

    Blog: Heather on her travels - 9 December 2010

    On a winter’s day I’m dreaming of the cosy lounge at Avenue Hotel in Copenhagen. I’ve been seduced by it’s warm Danish charm, imagining myself curled up on the soft, crushed velvet sofa in front of the flickering fire, idly leafing through one of those designer coffee table books. The white pillar candles would be [...]
