A Photo Journey Through Copenhagen, Part 1: the Electronic Love Parade, Superkilen Park, and the Royal Danish Library

Lush green hedges, trees, and a brick building form the background, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere.

Copenhagen is easily one of my favourite cities—especially in summer. In 2023, Victoria and I had the incredible opportunity to live there for six weeks, from May to early June. I had a long list of things I wanted to see and do and, towards the end of our visit, I had up to 17 hours of daylight in which to do it! Yet, even after weeks of wandering, I felt like I had only scratched the surface of the city’s many street festivals, art galleries, museums, parks, libraries, architecture, and other sites that I wanted to see. But I’m not disappointed by what I missed—if anything, it only gives me more reason to go back!

My Copenhagen adventures were vast, so in this post, I’ll focus on just one event—the Electronic Love Parade—and two sites: Superkilen Park and the Royal Danish Library. In an effort to be merciful to you, gentle reader, I am trying a new thing where I keep my posts to 2,500 words. If you include captions in my word count, I’ve now officially blown far past that. Nonetheless, I am going to cover some other highlights in a second post, where I’ll share photos and briefly highlight the Ordrupgaard Art Museum, the Viking Ship Museum, and the National Museum of Denmark.

To start us off, here is a collection of my favourite photos from Copenhagen:

  • Two people sit closely together at the end of a set of multicoloured chairs in the Garden of the Royal Library. They appear to be engaged in conversation while looking at a phone and a notebook.

  • A lively street scene at an outdoor event where a diverse crowd dances to live drumming. In the center, a performer with long braids, wearing a patchwork skirt and beaded necklace, leads the dance with expressive movements. Surrounding him, people of all ages, including children, smile and move energetically. In the foreground, a drummer wearing a black cap plays, adding to the festive atmosphere. The background features storefronts and greenery, enhancing the vibrant urban setting.

  • The photograph shows the interior of a modern, multi-story library building with a soaring atrium. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide a view of a canal where a yellow and black passenger boat is traveling on the water. The interior architecture features curving balconies and walkways connecting the different floors of the building. Escalators lead down to a lower level. People are seen walking on the various levels, giving a sense of scale and activity to the space.

Spring is a perfect time to visit Copenhagen. From our arrival in May to our departure in mid-June, the trees were heavy with flowers blooming pink, white, yellow, and purple. Daffodils, poppies, peonies, and tulips were in abundance. The fragrant scent of lilacs followed me down many streets. As a resident of the west coast of Canada, I found Copenhagen’s weather and temperatures similar to Vancouver’s, though slightly cooler, with the seasons lagging by three to four weeks due to its more northern location—Copenhagen is about 710 kms (441 miles) farther north than Vancouver1.

I was determined to improve my photography skills on this trip. I sought out interesting compositions, experimented with my camera settings, and pushed myself to photograph strangers—something that makes me deeply uncomfortable but often results in the best shots! I also became more mindful of my surroundings, allowing me to spot cool and unusual details I might have otherwise missed. Here are a few of my favourites:

  • A low-angle, eye-level shot captures three verdigris-colored dragon sculptures guarding a pedestrian thoroughfare in Copenhagen, Denmark. The winged dragons are mounted atop a low, weathered, concrete wall in front of the Copenhagen City Hall, a tall brick building with multiple windows, a turret, and intricate detailing. The path curves away into the distance and lush green trees are seen in the background in addition to other architecture.

Trees are in the foreground adding to the overall urban landscape.

Elektronisk Kærlighedsparade

Copenhagen is a vibrant city where there’s always something going on. Throughout our stay, we were spoiled for choice with a variety of festivals including those celebrating music, dance, theatre, beer, food, photography, visual art, and science. One of the first we attended was the 48 Timer Festival (48 Hour Festival), a weekend-long cultural event in the Nørrebro district. True to its name, it spans 48 hours and highlights “the weird, the personal, the geeky, and untraditional initiatives” that define the neighbourhood. The festival is a collaborative effort, organized by local artists, businesses, organizations, and residents.

The 48 Hour Festival weekend kicked off on a Friday afternoon in mid-May 2023 with the Elektronisk Kærlighedsparade (Electronic Love Parade), which is a “gathering of dancing souls and queer minds for a powerful walk through the streets of Nørrebro to the sound of pumping electronic music.” We had an absolute blast at this event! The festivities started at 3:00 pm in a public square (Blågårds Plads), where two trucks equipped with DJs and loud speakers got the party started. We danced there for an hour before the parade began. One truck led the way while the other brought up the rear, with volunteers in yellow vests shepherding us through the city streets. What began as a sizeable crowd quickly swelled as we turned onto one of Nørrebro’s main streets, where homeward-bound commuters eagerly joined in. Victoria and I danced until our feet hurt too much to carry us anymore. If we hadn’t already been in love with Copenhagen, this event would have definitely won us over.

Speaking of queer minds, Copenhagen is an incredibly 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly city. Looking through my photos has been like climbing through an escape hatch into a more loving and accepting world as conditions south of my country’s border deteriorate. (Yes, it’s a temporary get-away; yes, I know that Copenhagen, like any city, has its issues too.) It’s reassuring to revisit a place—even if it’s just through photos and a couple of years later—where public benches can be painted in the colours of various Pride flags without significant backlash. Copenhagen also has a public square located next to its city hall that was renamed Regnbuepladsen (Rainbow Square) in 2014, as both a tribute to the Pride flag and a demonstration of the city’s commitment to diversity.

The rules forbid racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and sexism, and encourage caring for yourself and each other.

Superkilen Park

Victoria and I stayed in the Nørrebro district, northwest of downtown, about a 20-minute transit ride from the historic city centre. On one of our first mornings in Copenhagen, I decided to walk the route instead of taking the bus—a journey that took just over an hour. The warm spring sunshine made the prospect of a walk even more tempting. A few minutes into my journey, I came across Superkilen Park. My heart thrilled at the sight: the park burst with photographic possibility, practically singing to me through its bold white lines, trees heavy with pink blooms, circular white benches, and a striking star-shaped fountain.

I kept returning to Superkilen Park throughout our trip—it was such a joy to photograph, and each visit revealed something new. The name Superkilen translates to “Super-wedge,” referring to the park’s wedge-like shape. It is located in one of Copenhagen’s most cosmopolitan neighbourhoods, and was designed to promote unity between immigrants and locals. To celebrate the area’s cultural diversity, Nørrebro residents were invited to nominate objects—such as benches, swings, trees, streetlights, playground equipment, and signage—either from their country of origin or from places they had visited. These items were then either replicated or purchased and transported to the park, resulting in over 100 objects sourced from or inspired by 62 different nations! (I’m unsure which items are original equipment brought from the location and which are reproductions, so I’ve listed them below and labeled the picture captions as ‘from/inspired by’ to reflect this uncertainty).

Among the highlights are an octopus slide from/inspired by Japan; a Soviet-era bus stop from/inspired by Kazakhstan; Bulgarian chess tables; the star-shaped fountain from/inspired by Morocco; neon signs from/inspired by Qatar, Taiwan, Russia, and the USA; as well as benches and manhole covers from/inspired by a variety of countries. On one of my final evenings in Copenhagen, I wandered through the park’s three main areas, embarking on a photographic scavenger hunt to capture all these unique treasures. It is fitting that both the first and last photos I took in Copenhagen ended up being of Superkilen Park.

Superkilen Park is a great example of how seriously Danes approach design and architecture. I admire how the designers sought to turn a public space into something both personal and universal by seeking contributions from local residents. The park offers a welcoming space for Nørrebro’s diverse population, fostering a sense of community among those who might otherwise struggle to feel at home. Throughout Copenhagen, there are many other architectural projects with a similar level of ambition and purpose.

Det Kongelige Bibliotek (The Royal Danish Library)

Since Victoria and I had accommodation located outside of the downtown centre, it was helpful for me to have a place where I could go for a break after a busy morning of sightseeing to rest my feet, make plans, and charge my batteries—both technological and personal. The main branch of Det Kongelige Bibliotek (The Royal Danish Library) was my favourite place to do that. It’s located along the harbourfront at Søren Kierkegaards Plads, within walking distance of many downtown attractions. It consists of two buildings: a historic brick structure built between 1898 and 1906, as well as a modern extension of glass and black granite, known as The Black Diamond, which was inaugurated in 1999. There are multiple reading rooms and study areas in the library, including some that provide access to the special collections. There’s also a café, a bookstore, and a couple of permanent exhibitions.

The Old Reading Room was my favourite place to rest and make travel plans. Anyone is welcome to use this space, as long as you’re silent and respectful of others. It was a quiet and comfortable space with plenty of natural light. I was always able to find a desk, even when it was busy, and the desks had outlets where I could plug in my device chargers. These workstations are spacious and provide ample privacy; I never felt cramped or like I was intruding on others. Public libraries are amazing! After making use of this one in Copenhagen, I’ve promised myself to take full advantage of them in every city we visit.

  • The spacious reading room of the Royal Danish Library features long rows of dark wooden desks, each illuminated by a green-shaded lamp. Bookshelves lining the walls extend to the high ceiling. Large columns stand between the tables and the bookshelves. A large arched window with intricate latticework sits at the far end, above the bookshelves. A chandelier hangs from the ceiling.

Another favourite spot of mine at the library, the Garden of the Royal Library, is tucked away behind the historic brick building. This peaceful and inviting spot features a fountain, flowers, benches, and rows of colourful chairs. Also, an interesting piece of history! The gardens were laid out in 1920 overtop what was formerly part of Christian IV’s 17th century naval harbour. Old metal moorings still hang from the wall at the end of the gardens behind a couple of benches.
