As summer draws to a close, we bid farewell to the long sunny days we’ve enjoyed during the past few months in Scandinavia. On September 10th, we also say goodbye to all Corona-related restrictions within Denmark. With vaccination numbers so high (above 70%), Denmark has officially declared that the pandemic is under control. That means that the use of the coronapas will no longer be required to visit restaurants and bars – and nightlife will also soon be returning. As a result, we’ll likely see opening hours extended around the city. Is life finally returning to normal? Keep reading to see a list of the exciting new openings, events, pop-ups, and collabs happening this month in Copenhagen.
