After spending a day exploring Kunoy, Klaksvík, and Kalsoy (say that 5 times fast!), Matt and I headed to visit Gjógv! There aren’t too many places outside of Tórshavn to spend the night (especially in the northwestern area), but Gjógv is a spot many people stay in because it has a great guesthouse. Even if you […]
Kalsoy was one of the places I wanted to visit the most in the Faroe Islands, and I’m so glad that I got to go! We took a hike to the Kallur Lighthouse and the Kópakonan Statue and the views were INCREDIBLE. Plus, I got to take photos of tons of sheep along the way 🙂 […]
After spending the night in Tórshavn, Matt and I drove to spend the morning in Kunoy and Klaksvík. We were going to take the ferry from Klaksvík to Kalsoy (it’s a lot of “k” names, so I’ll try to keep them straight!), and we wanted to make sure we got in line for the ferry early […]
Tórshavn was our second stop in the Faroe Islands after Kirkjubøur! Tórshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands, and I loved all the colorful houses and harbors. Even though it’s the capital and a bigger city than most of the villages I visited, it’s still very walkable and you can see a lot in one day […]
I am SO excited for my first post about the Faroe Islands! 🙂 I had been wanting to visit for a long time because it’s such an untouched place and photos of it looked amazing, and when Matt and I were planning our trip to Denmark, it was the perfect chance to visit the Faroe […]
Somehow when I was living in Copenhagen, I never heard about Dragør, even though it’s so close to the city! I happened to read about it when looking for hidden gems in Copenhagen for my trip back, and I’m so glad I did. Dragør is the cutest fishing village I’ve ever visited, and it’s my favorite day […]
If you read Shakespeare in high school, there’s a good chance you read “Hamlet” and learned that it took place in Denmark (“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark,” anyone?). Kronborg Castle, or Elsinore, is where “Hamlet” takes place and it actually exists, and you can visit it in Helsingør! Helsingør is just a quick trip […]
Relaxing in one of the many parks in Copenhagen is one of my favorite things to do! The city has a surprising number of pretty big parks, and they’re a great place to escape the noise of the center city. Plus, they’re budget friendly! You can read a book in a quiet corner under a […]
From Tivoli Gardens to Nyhavn, Copenhagen has some AMAZING sights that I can’t get enough of! But outside of the busy city center, there are there’s a quaint neighborhood in Copenhagen with cute houses, awesome restaurants, and even palaces! Vesterbro is probably my favorite neighborhood in Copenhagen, and I have lots of recommendations for things […]
I visited the castles in Copenhagen (plus Kronborg) when I studied abroad there, but I actually didn’t make it out to Frederiksborg Castle until my recent trip! Frederiksborg Castle is just outside the city, and this Versailles of Denmark is definitely worth a visit 🙂 Visiting Frederiksborg Castle Located right outside Copenhagen, visiting Frederiksborg Castle […]
