What things do you like to do in the city with your son? 

“We always stay in the same area, and it has a really great, big playground close by with lots of kids and locals to hang out with. It’s so good for families! When the weather permits it’s amazing to go down to the water, there’s so many good places you can swim in the middle of the city!”

SHOP: For all the great Danish designers, check out the shopping in the middle of the city, as well as Vesterbro for vintage stores 

What do you usually to wear in Copenhagen?

"Copenhagen is such a laidback, good atmosphere city; I like easy to wear outfits that I usually pair with flats."
