I recently got back from a 4 day city break with friends to the city of Copenhagen in Denmark and want to take the chance to write about my experience. In this blog post I will cover all aspects including: Accommodation, places to eat/drink, tourist attractions and outfit choices. Copenhagen has a reputation for being expensive, but we managed to do it on a budget whilst still having an amazing time, visiting all the places we wanted to see. I hope you find some of the reviews useful for if you are planning on visiting this city, it’s definitely worth a trip!
Accommodation/Flights
For the flights we managed ( I say we but it was actually my friend Lucy who is amazing at finding deals) to get really cheap return flights with Ryan Air for not much over £40. These were at pretty decent times so was an all round good deal.
For accommodation we opted for a beautiful Air BnB apartment near Island Brygge, which was a 5/10 minute walk away from the metro and a couple of stops away from the centre, which was perfect. The apartment was light and open plan, furnished in an on trend Scandinavian interior design style. Originally, we were meant to be staying in an another apartment, which looked almost identical, but as the owner was having issues with the boiler, we got asked if we would mind staying in his girlfriends apartment. To make up for the issue, which was no issue at all, the Air Bnb host had left wine and snacks for us, which was a lovely touch. Considering the reasonable price, location and decor of the apartment I would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in Copenhagen!
Food/Drink
It’s when it comes to eating out and drinking in Copenhagen that it can tend to get a bit pricey. However, by getting an Air BnB we were able to eat breakfast in the apartment. We also ate in one night before going out for drinks and had a lovely wine and cheese night on one of the other days. This was a great way to save quite a bit of money whilst also having some lovely dinners in.
Below is a list of some of the food and drink places we did visit on our stay-
Attractions
Outfits
I knew before we left that it was planning to rain solidly for the majority of our stay so packed accordingly. I generally dress quite casually anyways so mainly packed comfy clothes that I knew would be good for days full of site seeing. Below, are my 3 favourite looks from the trip.
Look 1-
I think this was my favourite look of the whole trip. These Urban Outfitters pink cord trousers are amazing and are my new favourite item. I also don’t think you can go wrong with a stripy top ( I probably have too many ) and I love this long oversized one from Zara. I teamed this outfit with a pink beanie from Primark which was great value at only £2! I also wore my Fjallraven backpack for almost the whole trip as it was really practical. Finally, I packed my Vans as these are probably the most comfy trainers I own, so I knew these would be essential for long days walking around seeing all the sights.

Look 2-
On day 2, I went for another really casual look which was super comfy. I bought these Pull & Bear trousers a few months ago in Amsterdam and bought this red sweater from Primark recently to go with it. At £5 it was a total bargain, and they come in lots of different colours. I normally tend to wear quite monochrome and plain clothes, so it was nice to brighten things up a bit with the red. In hindsight I think I would’ve bought it a couple of sizes bigger to give it a more oversized feel but I still like it as it is.

Look 3-
I wore this outfit for drinks at the bar Jolene in the Meat Packing District. I love a sheer top and this floral style from Urban Outfitters is really pretty. I paired it with an old pair of Topshop Mom jeans to keep the look casual and threw on my denim jacket to go with it. Although it is often said that double denim is a no go, I totally disagree!
