We have asked our teachers if they can recommend a place, an activity or a piece of Danish culture. Here you can see what Casper recommends.

How do you find peace and quiet in the city?
"Copenhagen can be a fast-paced city at times, both in the workplace and on the cycle lanes. That is why it can be nice to find some of the city’s small, peaceful hideaways, where time seems to move a little more slowly. A walk around the beautifully preserved fortress Kastellet or a picnic in the King’s Garden brings a sense of calm in the middle of the city. If you venture a little further out, Amager Fælled and Kongelunden in southern Amager are also wonderful places, and even on sunny days, you can often have the beautiful view from Kongelundsfortet almost entirely to yourself.

Speaking of finding peace in Copenhagen, every newcomer should listen to the song ‘Zen midt i centrum’ (roughly translates to ‘Zen in the city’) by Sund Fornuft."
