If you’re looking for what to do in Hamburg, there’s so much! I spent 3 days in Hamburg and packed in as much as I could (and packed in as much food as I could) with some great recommendations from fellow travel bloggers. I loved everything I saw (and ate), and these are all the […]

One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to go off-the-beaten-path. I love seeing the main sights in cities, but I also like to get a glimpse of local life. I’ve written about a quaint neighborhood in Copenhagen, and I thought Hamburg had some really pretty neighborhoods, too! I can’t remember who […]

I love visiting parks when I travel! I’m pretty obsessed with parks in Copenhagen, and I hang out at a park near me in Philadelphia whenever the weather is nice. So when I visited Hamburg in the summer, I made sure I visited some green spaces to see flowers in bloom. If you’re there in […]

I saw a lot of Denmark when I was studying in Aarhus, and I also took a quick trip to Germany when my class ended! I spent three days exploring Hamburg, and it was such a great city to see for my first time in Germany. I think tours are the best way to see […]

While I was studying in Aarhus, Denmark, I took a lot of awesome day trips from Aarhus, and Samsø had been at the top of my list of places to visit for a while. But it was too complicated and far away to make it a day trip, so I used it to break up […]

During my visit to Samsø, I stayed in Besser and took a day trip up to Nordby. It was chilly and rained the ENTIRE time I was there, but Nordby, Samsø was so pretty, even covered in puddles! Half-timbered houses in Denmark are my favorite kind of houses, and Nordby had more than enough for […]

If you’ve been following my journey studying in Aarhus, Denmark, we’re coming to the end! I took a lot of amazing day trips from Aarhus over the summer, and I knew I wanted to visit the island of Samsø but it was too complicated and far away to make it a day trip. So I […]

I spent a month in Aarhus, Denmark, and while I spent a lot of time exploring the town, I also took some day trips around Jutland. There are so many amazing towns in Jutland, and I wish I had time to visit more! If you’re in the area, these are five amazing day trips from […]

Skagen, Denmark might be a small town, but you may have heard of it! The Skagen watch company was named for the town (and I actually have a Skagen watch!), and it’s the place where the two seas meet in Denmark. I had seen photos of the seas meeting before and was dying to see […]

I first heard about Silkeborg, Denmark from “Parks and Recreation.” Leslie Knope went to London and met the mayor of Silkeborg, played by Heidi Klum. During my month in Aarhus, I knew I had to visit Silkeborg since I’m a big Parks and Rec fan, and sadly, I didn’t run into Heidi Klum. But it […]

Jelling might be the most historically significant place in Denmark, but Ribe is the oldest town in Denmark! It dates back to the Viking Age (so of course I loved it) so there are archaeological digs and historic spots, but it’s also a pretty town with beautiful churches and walking streets! 🙂 History of Ribe, […]
