For the Easter Spring break we made a road trip from Amsterdam to Copenhagen with a stopover in Hamburg where we visited part of the famous port (it's huge!) and Miniatur Wunderland. Our youngest loved it!
We had incredible weather the few days we spent in Copenhagen. Of course we rented bikes as it's the best way to explore this city, we ate the most delicious food and were inspired by beautiful interior shops. We also spent a day at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art which I wanted to see for a very long time. What a magical place! After spending time admiring the beautiful collection of art we had lunch on in the sun the terrace overlooking the sea. The food was so fresh and delicious. Overall visiting Louisiana was truly a wonderful experience.
