What better way to get to know the Danish culture than attending culture night?! Culture night has been a tradition in Copenhagen for years. Every fall, museums, companies, stores and other institutions stay open late into the night and offer a cultural activity, exhibition, or special event. You buy a Culture Night pass and then can enter the hundreds of fun events that are set up all across the city.
Jess and I kicked off culture night by going to one of my favorite restaurants, Mother, for FREE pizza and drinks!

We then made our way back toward city center and admired the beautifully rainbow lit Round Tower.
DIS had an amazing event in the courtyard of Jess’s building where there was pumpkin carving, hot drinks, a haunted house, and s’mores stations. Nothing is better than a s’more in the fall.
Next up for the night was Rosembourg Castle where I finally got to see the crown jewels. It was such a unique experience to explore the castle grounds at night!

We then went across the street to the gardens and walked along the lantern-lit paths as we admired the dancers near the lake. Lastly, we went to the National Museum (my second time was just as great as the first with my Danish class!).
Culture night was such a success. It was great to explore Copenhagen at night surrounded by all of the locals taking part in such an incredible tradition.
