Spring is in the air and Copenhagen events are ready to to be enjoyed in the sunshine. These days, it doesn’t take more than the hint of a blue sky to fill up pavements, bridges, and street corners with vitamin D-deprived locals. There’s a certain energy in the city and while this March will most likely be more quiet than usual, the solid plus-temperatures allow us to escape our own four walls more regularly.
For days and evenings spent at home, there’s a wide range of online events to choose from if you feel like skipping Netflix for a change.
Here are the best events in Copenhagen this month:
