COPENHAGEN
The arrival of summer in Copenhagen is much more than the coming of a season. It is a celebration, a rite and a cult of light and nature. After the freezing months of winter, the city’s people are brought intensely alive by these white nights when the sun hardly sets and everything is impregnated with music and contagious joy.
When the snows melt, the days lengthen and the first flowers bloom, Copenhagen awakes from its lethargy and its citizens celebrate the end of spring and beginning of summer by emerging onto the streets, dressing in bright colours and packing out the innumerable pavement cafés found on every corner. Mild temperatures and long hours of daylight make being in the open air more a necessity than a whim. Many of the city’s most popular festivals are held during the summer months. June 15th is Flag Day, when the whole of Copenhagen bristles with banners bearing the national colours. The Danes love their flag so much that they even display it during family celebrations. The summer solstice is celebrated by leaping over bonfires, singing, dancing and drinking. Although the festivities normally take place by the sea or on a lakeshore, a good place to enjoy the ritual is the Tivoli Gardens, the world’s oldest funfair. One of the favourite spots of the local people, it is an oasis of gardens, ponds, 19th century attractions and as many as 30 restaurants.
Copenhagen seems to have been designed with pleasure in mind, and summer is the time of year when its charm is best appreciated.
