I fell in love with Copenhagen back in 2019 while backpacking around Europe as a solo female traveller. I loved the city so much
I came back a few years later to get married with my husbandđ
This is honestly one of my favourite cities in the world and one of the places I've felt the safest while traveling. The city is super safe, clean, people are the most welcoming and the food taste great (surprisingly). I can't wait to visit the city again.

For us, this meant easy access for our guests and a convenient spot to relax amid the wedding festivities.
