Join me on a photo journey through Copenhagen during the year
Copenhagen is so much. You never know what is waiting around the corner and all seasons offer their specialities. So this post is all about the visuals that greet us here every day. Colorful events, happy and tragic events or just something from the everyday life. So lets explore Copenhagen in pictures 2024!
Oh, if you need tips on where to find places to take some nice pictures, see this post.
Best wishes to the baker
A baker has fallen ill and all his customers write wishes for his recovery on the shop window. By the way, this is my very first Copenhagen in pictures for 2024!
Børnenes Nytårstale
Just outside Trinitatis Church (the one by the Round Tower) there is an all-white sculpture at the front representing a hand with a pointing finger. Well, this is actually part of the project the Children’s New Year’s speech where anyone can write anything.
The snow leopard
In central Copenhagen, just outside the War Museum stands this tank. It is a Leopard 1 from the 70s that is now enjoying the cold, icy winter day.
Byen fra skyen
In the former meat packing district, the “Village from the Sky” outdoor exhibition is still going on despite the winter and cold. And yes, there are absolutely fantastic pictures of Copenhagen from above.
Where it takes place is just a short walk away from the main train station.
Winter Island
As a novelty this winter, Green Island has expanded and is open when it is darkest outside. Really, out here on the floating facility in the canal it is relatively calm.
The coronation of the king
The coronation of the king was, as expected, a fantastic event. And Tuborg had come up with its own imaginative way of drawing attention to this.
Dannebrogen
A man photographs the Danish flag outside City Hall, the Dannebrogen, which is the world’s oldest state flag. Also, the red color was the most expensive to produce in the past.
Sunday along Vesterbrogade
Being without money is a misery, and then you have to resort to your imagination. Here you can decide for yourself how your contribution will be used.
Snow and darkness
Winter can be really beautiful, but there is rarely more snow than this in the city.
Late January
Gray weather like this at the end of January. But the cyclists don’t stop just because it’s winter. By the way, over 50% of Copenhageners cycle to and from work every day!
Copenhagen Light Festival
Now the festival of lights is in full swing. And on a cold Saturday night like this, many people are out enjoying all the light in the winter darkness.
The skating rink at Fredriksberg
Skating belongs to winter, and so also in Copenhagen. Therefore, the opportunity is offered in a few places in the city when it is coldest. Here it is at Fredriksberg late one evening.
Sydhavn in fog
The fog lies like a blanket over the city and the real spring is till some time away.
Saint Patrick’s Day
Preparations for Saint Patrick’s Day have begun.
Pusher street
What is going on here in the spring sun? The infamous Pusher street in Christiania is to be literally dug out! Now it will be the end of drug sales here forever.
Cherry blossom at Bispebjerg kirkegård
At this time of year, Copenhageners make the pilgrimage to Bispebjerg to enjoy the blooming cherry trees.
The pizza problem
Soon summer will be here and with it all the empty pizza boxes in the parks. Yes, the Danes love pizza!
The old stock exchange on fire
The old Stock Exchange, with its fantastic spire, on fire. And unfortunately, a large part of the building is destroyed. Later the walls also collapsed.
Another march
King Frederik adorns one of the posters promoting this year’s global marijuana march.
Copenhagen Marathon
This year’s Copenhagen Marathon is over. And the rain that came in the afternoon was certainly a good cooling off for all those sweating on the streets.
Vesterbro Torv in the evening sun
Summer is not far away now and the evenings are starting to feel endlessly long.
Fun in the Viking way
Modern Vikings clash on the outskirts of Copenhagen. And everything happens in cheerful ways!
Broen til Christianshavn
One of the bridges from Nyhavn to Christianshavn opens for some sailing boats. And all the tourists who travel here on foot and by bike get a little break.
An empty racetrack in central Copenhagen!?
Yes that is correct. Because here, within a few days, there will be full action with all kinds of cool cars. Namely, the Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix takes place at the beginning of August and usually attracts large crowds of car enthusiasts.
The race is on
So it is the first Saturday in August and the car race is on. And who knows, it could be a year without a crash? Probably not. Either way, there’s plenty of red and white here.
Saturday along Nørrebrogade
Behind the wall is the large cemetery. But on this side life goes on, and the constant posting never stops.
Pride
Pride is big in Copenhagen and the large number of rainbow colored flags is absolutely impossible to miss. The parade is also a must and this year the weather was kind to participants and audience.
Popular Nyhavn
Overtourism can also be felt in Copenhagen. Here is Nyhavn on the last day of summer.
Farmers market
with regularity a market is held in Copenhagen with locally produced food. And here you get to share a lot of knowledge and tips about how we should think about what we put into us.
By bike into the autumn
Kalvebod Fælled is a larger nature area in the southern part of Copenhagen. In fact, here you will find peace and quiet not far from the city, despite the proximity to Copenhagen airport. And if you travel by bike, just choose a route and set off!
Hold til højre
A new campaign will teach cyclists what applies in traffic. And that’s probably a good thing, because things get a little wild sometimes. So keep to the right!
Halloween
So Halloween is on again and Tivoli has reopened for this spooky time of year.
Autumn in The King’s Garden
Now there is no doubt that autumn has reached Copenhagen. Suddenly summer feels far away and winter can be sensed.
Military history at the Kastellet
On a gray Sunday afternoon, military enthusiasts show features from the past.
Christmas is here
Christmas can’t wait here. As soon as Halloween is over, Christmas storms in and lights up the town.
Here you have the department store Magasin at the beginning of November.
Iceskating on Kongens Nytorv
Skating is hugely popular in this city. And this despite the fact that they have no natural conditions for frozen ice outdoors.
But what does that do, with a solid cooling equipment everything is possible and the circular track at the square gives joy.
Another place that also apparently has a skating rink this year is freetown Christiania.
Kongens Nytorv
Late November
This is the very last day of November here in Copenhagen and winter awaits next. The intense blue sky heralds colder times.
Deadly birds over Copenhagen
Deadly birds over Copenhagen? No, it’s not that bad. It is only the Swedish Air Force that takes a turn past Denmark with its traditional Christmas tree flight!
And so we are back where the year started
So we are approaching the end of this year. And our bakery where the year started is running at full capacity. Yes they even have a text asking you to shop in moderation so everyone gets a chance to buy!
