Week 19
Hey everyone,
I can't believe how much sunshine and blue skies we've had over the last week :) The trees are finally coming back to life, picnic blankets are coming out of the back of the cupboards and the city is buzzing. And this week is packed with some very exciting stuff! A gardening class, Anime festival, Queer film and performances, a city tour, 48 Timers Festival, Latin American Film Festival and many more. We also have a few from Aarhus this week *yayy*

For those looking for a different activity: While not groundbreaking activity-wise and I’m sure most of you know about them already but there are daily guided tours in English at Copenhagen City Hall (70 DKK). Unfortunately, the tower is currently closed for renovation until at least the end of summer.
That’s it from this week! If you have events you think would benefit from being featured here, you’re more than welcome to send them my way.
I wish you a great week, and hope to see you next Saturday!
