Sunny Sunday in Copenhagen

Sun's out and the temperature's rising in Copenhagen. Copenhageners come crawling out of hibernation on sunny weekends like these after months of cold, dark days. Everything seems just that much better with the promise of spring right around the corner.

So, what's a great way to spend one of the first sunny Sundays in months?

Sunday brunch is definitely at the top of the list. Here, at Huks Fluks on Gråbrødre Torv. Eggs, chorizo, bacon, salmon, cheese, salad, a muffin, Skyr (Icelandic yogurt), marmalade and a smoothie---deelish!





 A walk down to picturesque Nyhavn where the harbor is crawling with people enjoying a beer or coffee in a spot of sunshine is a good way to work off a full belly.






Past Nyhavn, hanging out by the docks by Skuespilhuset (The Playhouse, which is part of the Royal Theatre) is also a favorite past time.




Here, you can enjoy a cappuccino from Skuespilhuset's cafe.



And having a view of the Opera House while sipping your cappucino and sitting at the edge of the docks isn't too bad, either.




On the way back, it's always entertaining to stumble on a street musician or two.




And, if you feel peckish, you can always grab a hotdog from a stand on Kongens Nytorv....




...while you enjoy another street musician's tunes....




...or enjoy one of the artistic decorations covering the fenced-in construction going on in the square.




Here's the a close-up of the decoration. (Can you believe it's all made of sequins? Someone was talented at arts and crafts for sure!)




And that's just one way a Copenhagener--or a visitor to Copenhagen-- can spend a sunny Sunday in March!

  1. Wow! That is definitely some impressive sequin art. Great pics. Looks like a chilly (I can see the layers of clothes in the pic with your coffee) yet relaxing day.

    1. I know! Chilly it was...but sitting out in the sun with coffee was really nice and the air was so fresh.
