I bet you never thought you could love a gas station this much… but this is no ordinary gas station. It’s the original petrol station designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1936 and it still operates today. This isn’t the first time I’ve written about it but for all the times we’ve been by it, I’ve […]
Read More#LoveCPH: The Round Tower
We’re pretty good about getting out and about in whichever city we find ourselves in; however, I always have a secret list of places that I really should have seen by a given point and somehow never have. Usually, these are the places I assume that I will see a million times with guests and […]
Read More#LoveCPH: Assistens Kirkegaard
When you think of taking a walk, cemeteries aren’t usually the first place to come to mind. Or at least they weren’t for me – until I lived in Copenhagen. We would see them when we travel, but when we first visited the Bispebjerg Cemetery for the cherry blossoms, I learned that a visit amongst […]
Read MoreHanami in Copenhagen: 4 Beautiful Cherry Blossom Locations
The whole notion of going to see cherry blossoms has really exploded in the past several years. I imagine Instagram has something to do with that, and perhaps the growing desire everyone has for spring to “get here” which grows more intense with each year. There’s something to be said for that need to see […]
Read More#LoveCPH: Cherry Blossoms at Tivoli Gardens…
When you think of cherry blossoms in Copenhagen, Bispebjerg Cemetery is tops (I mean, these are pretty tough to beat, even for someone with years of Washington, DC cherry blossom experience). But it’s actually not the only place to catch them – the Kastellet can actually be just as nice for many reasons although those are […]
Read More#LoveCPH: A Walk on Magstraede…
The forest is our tot’s beat day in and day out, but she passes for a pretty good city girl on the weekends or evenings when we go into town. She doesn’t often make that much of an appearance on this blog, but we had such a good time in the city this particular day […]
Read More#LoveCPH: Springtime in Downtown Copenhagen…
This is probably the best time of year in Copenhagen. The days are a little longer, the chances of sun are a little higher, and every street corner seems to be full of flowers and bulbs and, dare I say it, spring. It’s not quite as warm as what a good part of the rest […]
Read More#LoveCPH: Thorvaldsen Museum…
If you’ve seen the movie, “Copenhagen”, you’ve seen parts of the Thorvaldsen Museum, probably without recognizing it. While the main characters in that movie frankly all drove me nuts, the cinematography of Copenhagen itself is spot on in terms of picturing the best of the city as it really is. The two main characters head […]
Read More#LoveCPH: Kastellet Park + St. Alban’s…
Lately we’ve been finding ourselves in and around the Kastellet Park. Which is a little funny because it was one of those places we went to a lot at first, then sort of stopped for no real reason…I don’t know why, just kind of happened. But we have been several times it seems over the […]
