The Buda Castle [Budapest, Szent György tér 2, 1014 Hungary] was first completed in 1265 and it is a sight many people make an effort to see today whilst in Budapest. That’s what I call stayput power. Coming from the Pest side of town we traversed the Chain Bridge to […]

Freetown Christiania The number one oddball event of your trip to Copenhagen will be without a doubt a visit to Freetown Christiania [Prinsessegade, 1440 Copenhagen, Denmark]. In a city so prosperous and elite, the oddballs had sift into this funky smelling commune created in the 70s. They say no pics […]
Nyhavn We are all amateur photographers these days, and Nyhavn [Nyhavn 1-71 | Kobenhavn K, Copenhagen 1051, Denmark] is about as picturesque as you can get. Grab a camera and head own down to the canal to take your own personal set of pictures here. The brilliantly colored buildings along […]
If you’ve never walked around a cemetery just for the fun, exercise, or beauty of it, you should give it a go. If you’re in Copenhagen Assistens Kirkegård [Kapelvej 4, 2200 København N, Denmark] is a perfect place to start. There’s nothing creepy about being in a cemetery, it’s simply […]
If I was moving to Copenhagen, I know exactly which apartment I’d want, right on the edge of Rosenborg Castle Gardens [Gothersgade 11, 2300 København K, Denmark]. It’s the tiny yellow one in the middle, with a huge window to look out on this incredible park. Rosenborg Castle Gardens, or […]
Bright vibrant colors of beautiful blossoms galore! The University of Copehagen Botanical Garden [Øster Farimagsgade 2B, 1353 København K, Denmark] is a must see for naturalists visiting the city. The park is free to visit, and a stop at the wondrous glass conservatory is a great beginning. Just a note, […]
You know you’re in a special park when great blue herons are more prevalent than pigeons. Frederiksberg Palace and Garden [Frederiksberg Alle 65, Copenhagen 1820, Denmark] has so many elements that make it sensational. For me it’s the natural aspect – the flowering trees, winding waterway, and fantastic birding. The […]
Torvehallerne [Frederiksborggade 21, 1360 København K, Denmark] is different from your typical city market. It’s small, quiet, hygge, and slightly high end, perfectly suited for Copenhagen. It doesn’t open until 10am, 11 on Sundays. There are two little buildings that hold just a couple of vendors; one has more food […]
A smorgasbord (not to be confused with smørrebrød) of international delights rolled into a canal side warehouse, Copenhagen Street Food [PapirØen, Trangravsvej 14, 7/8, 1436 København K, Denmark] is a great kitschy place to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy a tasty meal. Walk yourself up and down the […]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and when that day is jam-packed with a travel itinerary it is important to be well fed from the get go. Since we were based out of Nørrebro we spent a good deal of time on Jægersborggade Street, a short block […]
Smørrebrød is to Denmark what hamburger is to America, an essential food item to eat while visiting the country. What is a smørrebrød, you ask? It translates to ‘open faced sandwich,’ and these bad boys come in many shapes and sizes, and can be found in a variety of eateries […]
