Copenhagen

Copenhagen has a strong emphasis on design, evident in every detail. The refined taste reminds me of Tokyo's dedication to aesthetic excellence. What stands out is the effortless inclusion of sustainable design and organic food in their culture. Copenhagen, for me, seems like a place where one could live happily. It's understandable why Denmark consistently ranks as the world's happiest nation; even as a tourist, the evident high quality of life is striking.

Overview

Copenhagen holds a special place as one of my favorite cities in Europe. From its exquisite bakeries offering delectable cardamom buns to the captivating blend of design and nature, the city is truly extraordinary. However, it's worth noting that Copenhagen tends to be relatively expensive compared to other European cities, so it's advisable to be prepared for higher expenses during your visit.

Best Time of Year to Visit

March - May is the best time to visit Copenhagen if you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy spring flowers blooming in the city. The days are long and sun-filled with about 14 hours of sun per day. I visited Copenhagen in May and adored the warm spring weather.

June - September is also a great time to visit but will bring in larger crowds. I do not recommend visiting in the winter as there will be limited daylight hours.

Hotel SP34

I secured an excellent deal for a stay in one of their single rooms. Please note that the rooms do not come equipped with AC or mini fridges. However, it is part of the Brochner hotel, a boutique Copenhagen hotel group.


Villa Copenhagen

This hotel was out of my budget but I wanted to stay here for the rooftop pool!
