OUTTakes: Copenhagen

OUTtakes is an ongoing travel series where our Editors explore their favorite cities, offering a behind-the-scene perspective. Out Magazine Editor James McDonald embarked on a three-city tour this summer, traveling from Copenhagen to Munich, and then on to Stockholm.

Copenhagen is the kind of city you fall in love with the very first time you see the sun shimmer off the water in Nyhavn, the first time the smell of freshly baked tebirkes fills your lungs, the first time you’re enveloped in the endless whir of bikes zipping past. So, it’s safe to say that by this, my fourth visit, I had a pretty good idea of what made the Danish capital so special. But the beauty of Copenhagen is that there’s always something new to discover—I guess that’s why I can’t help but keep coming back.
