You can look forward to it, because there are plenty of fun things to experience in Denmark. H.C. Andersen's fairytale homeland offers a lot of coziness, beautiful nature, and great experiences. There’s something for everyone, whether you're into outdoor activities, architecture, music, or simply enjoying a good cup of coffee.
In addition to great universities and a cozy study environment, Denmark is home to a wealth of attractions, making it a fantastic place to live and study. On this blog, we’ve gathered some cool activities you can enjoy as a student in Denmark.
As a student in Denmark, you can look forward to many wonderful experiences and events, all easily accessible by public transport, such as trains, buses, or the metro. However, we recommend that you get yourself a bicycle, the favorite mode of transport for Danes.
Cycling is a simple, fast, and free way to get around Denmark's beautiful public parks. For example, you can lay out a blanket in Kongens Have with your books, have a picnic with friends, or play a round of rounders or football. You can also take a trip to Amalienborg, where the Danish queen resides.
If you're a water lover, you'll love being a student in Denmark. Whether it’s Amager Strand, the Copenhagen Harbour Bath, or the beaches to the north and south, you're always close to a free swim in Denmark.
Denmark also offers a wealth of cultural events. At the country's many museums, you can learn about historical events in Denmark, see sculptures, paintings, and other artworks. Most museums offer student discounts or free entry on certain days.
During the summer months, the focus shifts to music. Around Denmark, various music festivals are held – some of which are even free. These include the DJ festival “Bølgen”, “Distortion”, and the “Copenhagen Jazz Festival”.
When the World Cup and European Championship football tournaments are on, you can enjoy watching many of the matches on big screens around Denmark.
Finally, we must not forget the many cozy cafes and restaurants. In short: As a student in Denmark, you can look forward to a once-in-a-lifetime experience – filled with Danish coziness, of course!
Looking for inspiration for cool things to do in Denmark? Read on! Our goal with this blog is to provide you with the ultimate guide to Denmark. That’s why we’ve put together a top 10 list of places and unique events that you can experience with your classmates or when friends and family visit.
Denmark is especially wonderful in the summer, with long days and the sun setting late in the evening. On the longest day of the year in June, you can enjoy up to 17.5 hours of daylight.
During the summer, cafes and restaurants offer outdoor seating so you can enjoy the sunshine and warm summer evenings to the fullest.
Summer in Denmark also brings a wide range of outdoor concerts, festivals, and theater performances. Plus, you’re always close to water, so on hot sunny days, you can take a refreshing dip or enjoy a picnic while watching the sunset over the sea.
Make the most of the long daylight hours by visiting the Louisiana Museum in Humlebæk or attending some of the many major summer events in Denmark.
Winter in Denmark is something special. During the winter months, you can go ice skating at several places, such as the outdoor ice rink in Frederiksberg Have, which opens every November. The rink is free to use, and if you don’t have skates, you can rent them on-site. During the Christmas season, Denmark has several Christmas markets where you can warm up with a glass of mulled wine.
If you want to enjoy the snowy nature, dress warmly and take a walk in Dyrehaven or one of Copenhagen’s cozy parks.
The cold winter months also invite you to indoor cozy events. And if there's one thing Denmark knows how to do, it’s hygge (coziness). At the cafes, you can enjoy a hot chocolate by candlelight. Museums offer interesting exhibitions. For example, visit ARKEN Museum for Modern Art, located with a view of the water and beach. You can enjoy the winter breeze along the coast before warming up inside with Nordic and international art.
Finally, you can always watch a good movie at one of Denmark’s many cinemas.
