With Valentine’s day falling on a Monday this year, it makes it just the perfect time for that Romantic long weekend away.
Let candles set the mood
The tiny streets and alleyways around main street
Stroget, is the best place for shopping for local designs, fashions and crafts. You will soon notice that everybody uses candles everywhere; in windows, on tables and even outside on the pavements just to create that perfect atmosphere. Danes know about candles and the positive effects of candle light, so why not buy some Danish designed candle holders to bring home as the perfect souvenir?
Cupid’s arrow
A hot chocolate with a heart shaped cake in one of the many cosy cafes will set you up for a visit to one of the most fascinating museums in the city;
Thorvaldsen’s. This museum opened in 1848 and is a dedication to the works and collections of Danish sculptor Bertil Thorvaldsen. The highlight for your visit will be to stand before the work named ‘Cupid and Psyche’ and as you might know, Cupid is the god of love and this mischievous little archer has the power to send his arrow through the intended’s heart, making him or her fall in love with you…
Hand in hand
A stroll in the park is another favourite for lovers. Head for the waterfront by
Amalienborg Royal Palace as at this tiny Amalienborg park, you find a magnificent large fountain and sculptures but most of all, from here you will have an amazing view across the water to the new
Opera House. If the mood takes you, you may wish to stroll along further to see the Little Mermaid herself sitting on her rock or if music is the food of your love, book the seats for a night at this outstanding Opera house or at one of the many great music venues in Copenhagen.
