[:en]Autumn in Denmark is full of cozy bars and cafes, snuggly warm jumpers, and quality experiences. So for those curious about where to go and what to do when autumn comes to Denmark, try these activities to make the most out of the experience!

Enjoy the Autumn Colours in Hareskoven Forest

Hareskoven, which skirts the northwestern fringes of Copenhagen, is the closest place to the capital with a decent stretch of beech forest, which turns satisfyingly golden in the autumn. There are also scattered oak, linden, and maple trees, with exquisite examples of the former, such as 'The Tailor' or Skrædderen.

Halloween at Tivoli

During autumn in Denmark, one of the most visited attractions is the Tivoli Garden, which features more scenic views. Since autumn also sees the start of the Halloween season, the park becomes embellished with Halloween-inspired shops.

Ghoulish creatures and many other hidden surprises await visitors in the gardens. The locals also conduct an exhibition near the main stage of the most giant pumpkins in Denmark, harvested during the year. Also, visitors can find many traditional fall foods at the concession stands, like dishes made with game, mushrooms, and pumpkin.

Explore the Open Air Museum

Only open three times a year with specific days and hours, the Open Air Museum is located a little outside of Copenhagen. This living history museum is very entertaining in autumn when the visitors can do some harvest activities and try traditional fall foods.

One of the largest and oldest open-air museums in the world, Frilandsmuseet, as it's known in Denmark, encompasses 86 acres and more than 50 farms, mills, and houses constructed between 1650 and 1940. There's also a historical market recreated to look like the markets of the 18th century, international circus performers, and old-fashioned treats to spend the autumn in Denmark!

See the National Aquarium

On a rainy fall day, go inside a world of exotic marine life, fish, and plants. The National Aquarium Denmark, Den Blå Planet, is Northern Europe's largest aquarium built to give visitors a feeling of being underwater.

The aquarium building has five “arms” radiating out from the center of the aquarium. The visitors can see a vast Ocean Tank where hammerhead sharks swim with rays and moray eels. At the Coral Reef exhibit, colorful fish and crustaceans dart in and out of the coral. In addition, there is an exhibit with Amazon butterflies and birds, and visitors can see a waterfall with a pond of piranhas.

Tuck Into Local and Seasonal Food

Autumn in Denmark equals harvest season, where farm to fork is a way of life. So it's the perfect time of year to eat apple cake, not to mention tart letter, brunkål and Danish oysters. Aside from that, Denmark is also famous for its Brysslkex or also known as butter cookies. One of the most renowned butter cookies from Denmark is Danisa Butter Cookies.

Made with an authentic butter cookie recipe passed down through generations of Denmark's master bakers, Danisa Butter Cookies is the perfect choice for gift-giving. Originated from the traditional treats enjoyed by European nobility, Danisa Butter Cookies has been producing its world-famous butter cookies for decades.

Globally known as a symbol of festivity and luxurious indulgence, Danisa Butter Cookies continues to delight an international fan base, establishing it as one of the world's most sought-after treats. The richness of the butter, the gentle vanilla flavor, and perfectly balanced sweetness are just right to please people all over the world.[:]
