This weekend, being home in Copenhagen meant going to see some things I still hadn’t stumbled upon yet or just wanted to do.

One of those things was going on a “free” walking tour around Copenhagen City center. Crazy as that sounds (for living here for three months) I still wanted a little refresher for some historical knowledge, maybe some insights from the tour guide and another refresher on how to move about the city and how everything connects.

Next, my friends Emma, Valerie and I climbed the Church of Our Savior spire. It is by far the best overview of Copenhagen. If you’re not afraid of heights, or small spaces, definitely a must do.

Then I finished off the evening with a dinner with a group of Smithies (Smith College students) who are also studying abroad in Copenhagen this semester. We have been meaning to get together all semester and so we finally did! (Thanks to the reservation making at Paper Island by Emily!)
