The National Museum of Denmark
Last week, just between Christmas and New Year I briefly visited Copenhagen. Even though it was quite cold and I only stayed there for 2 days I enjoyed every bit of it! Beautiful city, friendly people, tasty smørrebrød, and great museums. I would love to spend more time in Copenhagen, just maybe not in the winter:)
