Take this as your sign to visit Copenhagen this winter! ❄️

While there may not be a lot of sunlight to enjoy, there are still plenty of things to see and do around the Danish capital to keep you busy. This includes stopping at several cozy cafes along the way ☕️

Copenhagen was also a great city to try out my new watch from @augustbergofficial (Serenity Petite – Royal Purple Rose Gold) and attempt to blend in with the fashionable locals ⌚️

Would you visit Copenhagen in the winter? 🇩🇰

Copenhagen is one of the most expensive cities in

Copenhagen is one of the most expensive cities in the world, but you can still enjoy it on a budget 💪🏼

If you’re wondering where to stay in Copenhagen that’s cheap, I’d suggest checking out @staygenerator ☺️

This hostel-hotel hybrid offers both dorm and private rooms. We stayed in the Deluxe King Ensuite room which has a lot of space and a nice city view 🪟

The hotel also has an amazing bar, games area, and the city’s largest shuffleboard centre 👀

But the best thing might be the location because it sits less than 10 minutes away from Nyhavn and around the corner from Rosenborg Castle 🏰

What do you think of this affordable place to stay in Copenhagen? 🇩🇰
