Exploring Copenhagen in one epic week — get ready for sunshine, river views and architecture 🌞🌏 Top Spots to Visit: 1. Kastellet, Copenhagen — This star-shaped fortress is a must for culture nerds and casual strollers alike! Walk the ramparts, snap the unique pentagon layout, spot birds by the river, and soak in those leafy outdoor vibes (Address: Gl. Hovedvagt, Kastellet 1, 2100 København, Denmark; Open daily 6:00-20:00 in winter, 6:00-22:00 in summer). Pro tip: Visit in the morning for tranquil scenes or stay late for golden hour photography! 🏰🦆 2. Local Supermarkets — Copenhagen’s supermarkets are a revelation: shelves stacked with fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and more, all beautifully presented. Hit up one for picnic essentials, or just enjoy the stylish modern design and friendly Danish vibes. 👍🍅 Practical Tips: - Flight hack: Emirates from Kuala Lumpur gets you comfy service and a smooth arrival. - Getting around: Rent a bike or grab a public transport day pass for the easiest city exploring. Don’t miss river walks for serious outdoor relaxation! - Food: Go beyond the tourist traps — pick up local produce, bread, and cheeses, and DIY a riverside lunch. Copenhagen supermarkets = fresh, healthy, and budget-friendly. Bonus Tips: - Danish weather changes fast: bring layers and always check the forecast. - Most attractions (like Kastellet) open early — beat the crowds for the best photos. #CopenhagenCulture #BoracayDreams #TravelWithTrip #NatureVibes #FoodieFinds
