An international’s guide to CPH

Where: The Botanical Gardens

What: The Botanical Gardens is part of the Natural History Museum at the University of Copenhagen. It holds the largest collection of living plants in Denmark.

Why: The Botanical Gardens are amazing. Not only because of the plants, but also because of the good biodiversity – bugs and beetles are things I’m quite interested in. So as much as I look at the flowers, I also take a closer look at what’s in the flowers or maybe underneath the leaves.

Where: Science & Cocktails Copenhagen

What: An initiative that brings science and entertainment closer together through a series of public lectures served with cocktails.

Why: It’s a great concept. Talks can be about all sorts of things: from hormones and black holes, to special kinds of ants etc. The speakers are highly motivated and come with great enthusiasm – and you get fantastic cocktails at the same time. It's always interesting. So, you're learning and you're having a good time. Just remember that you have to buy a ticket in advance.

Where: Sydhavn Recycling Center

What: An unusual recycling centre with shops and activities that support recycling and sustainability.

Why: There are all kinds of workshops there, and also a shop where you can buy things that people have discarded – the prices are really reasonable. The concept is that designers and creative entrepreneurs can take a space there for free for half a year to make their products, providing they dedicate two to four hours a week to repairing things for the centre to sell. The workshops tend to have a recycling or circular economy theme. It can be anything from repairing jeans to panel debates.
