Summers in Copenhagen are short and intense. After a long and dark winter the city gets alive and kicking during the summer when there is an abundance of festivals and events and on warm days Copenhagen’s streets, sidewalk cafés and city beaches are packed with people trying to get the most out of the sun and the bright Nordic nights before it is all over. The arrival of autumn is never popular, however there are several events in Copenhagen during September, October and November, which actually make me look forward to this dark and windy season.

Below I have selected my favourite autumn events in Copenhagen.
