Weekend Getaway #5: Copenhagen

Hello to you all, and Hej København!

From Thursday until today, I have been in Copenhagen, by the third time, to visit my brother, who works in one of the subsidiaries of a multinational food company, Danish Crown, named DAT-Schaub.

Since he lives in one of the suburbs of the capital city, Frederiksberg, I stayed in his flat. Though, there were zero concerns regarding the journey to Copenhagen City’s Centre: Metro did the trick 😜

Day 1: Flight from Porto (OPO) to Frankfurt International Airport (FRA). There, we caught the plane to Copenhagen Airport (CPH).

We arrived to the city centre at 4 P.M. Btw, it was almost night in Copenhagen, due to the Winter. I left my mother and sister at one of the Wakeup Hotels around the city. After that, my brother took us from the hotel to his apartment in Frederiksberg. It is a cozy suburb, full of shops, light sources, beautiful architectural style.

Day 2: Morning walk from Frederiksberg to Copenhagen Train Station. Despite the freezing weather, it was a very nice walk. We spend this day visiting the Christmas markets around the town, tasting some of the traditional seasonal food, as well as watching the dashing decorations.

In the afternoon we went to the incredible Nyhavn to see the Christmas decorations and it’s amazing canal.

Day 3: It was shopping time. We were headed to Copenhagen centre to buy some stuff concerning souvenirs, sneakers and accessories against the cold weather.

We took a walk in the Botanical Garden of Copenhagen University. Amazing landscapes, nature and architecture. I took this opportunity to make a book to add to my portfolio, having as subjects my brother, mother and sister.

In the afternoon’s end, we just chill in my brother’s apartment.

Day 4: Rainy day. Flight back to Porto (OPO) with a stoppage in Frankfurt International Airport (FRA).

Until the next post! 🥰

Xoxo,

Gustavo
