Lyra's Study Abroad Experience

My Stay in Copenhagen

Nyhavn

Danes are often named the happiest people in the world living in one of the most peaceful nations in the world. So much of Copenhagen's charm is packed into the little details from the cobblestones, hipster cafes, the monochromatic street style and the sound of spinning bicycle wheels. While I may be bias, Copenhagen is the best city to study abroad in. The city is known for its great public transit systems whether you are traveling within Denmark or have a weekend getaway to another European city, it is a quick train ride to the airport. The whole capital is surrounded by the sea often coined the "Venice of the North."

Copenhagen is home to Noma, voted the best restaurant in the world by multiple publications. However, the standard of food and how it filters down to all types of restaurants is impressive. Working along side the healthy lifestyle of the Danes the food is no different. There are many vegan options unlike a lot of European cities. From local boutiques through to the biggest brands and designers in the world Copenhagen has it all. Copenhagen is also home to the longest pedestrian shopping street in all of Europe which is a major plush for shopaholics.

There will be no communication issues with the Danes. Unlike other countries where you will have to make an effort to speak to locals in their language you'll find most Danes speak better English than you do yourself!
