I've been living in Copenhagen for a month (time flies, let me tell you), and I am already feeling like a true Danish local. Google maps is no longer needed to get me from train station to classes, turning hand signals on my bike is second nature, and I can say "see you later" in Danish without feeling like a fool. Within a month time, I have finally found my mojo and my "places" that I love. I hope you will check them out, and love them too! Det Kongelige Bibliotek - otherwise known as The Royal Library. The first couple of weeks I was struggling finding somewhere that was cozy enough and had the right kind of study vibe to do my homework. I love going to coffee shops, but that begins to make for a very expensive study trip very fast, reasons the Royal Library is perfect. There is a cafe at the bottom floor, great for study pick-me-ups, and then four floors of study area. I haven't explored the entire space yet, but what a great place to crack down and crank out that paper you need to write.
Paluden Bogcafé. This café includes everything I love in life - so much coffee, books, cool locals, and a comfy-cozy feel. Similar to the Royal library, it is a great place to do homework, but provides social interaction and great sandwiches and brunch that the Library does not. P.S. the chai latte is a must. Skt. Peder's Bageri. Fast, easy, cheap goodies. Its dangerous, but so dang good for a quick pick-up. Illum Rooftop. Original Coffee is tucked away at the 5th floor rooftop of Illum with the best view of all time. There's also a bagel shop that is Subway version but with bagels, and a pizza place that offers outdoor seating right along the skyline. & other stories. Let me buy the same sweater in 4 different colors... Thats what this store does to me. Cute and trendy clothes, shoes, and jewelry are packed all around the store, there's something for everyone here. And it won't cost you a fortune! Plus, COS is my other obsession. a little bit more expensive but very modern and chic - perfect for business casual clothes. Tivoli. Copenhagen is home to the second oldest amusement park in the world and it's located in the heart of the city. This place is magical. The rides are fun and the ice cream and candy will make you drool, yes, but the gardens and atmosphere of Tivoli is unlike any amusement park type setting I've ever been in. The magic and fairytale aspects are overwhelming in the greatest way. Tivoli has specific dates when it's open, so make sure you check it out (here) and I definitely recommend getting the season pass so you can walk in whenever you want (cheapest way if you think you'll go in three times or more).
