Copenhagen is the place to be this week for the UN Climate Conference December 7-18. 

This past Saturday, this Travelstart blogger visited Copenhagen for the day to check out the festivities. (I live just 45 minutes away in Malmö) 

Despi.jpgte frigid temperatures in the Danish capi.jpgtal, the city was packed full of people, who were out exploring the city and various events organized around the conference.  The atmosphere and vibe in the city this week is really electric. 

Saturday a climate march took place, and was attended by upwards of 100,000 people. The weather was really really cold during the march, and it was a very civilized, peaceful demonstration, despi.jpgte some arrests that occurred later in the day and in a different area of the city. There were so many interesting costumes and displays of creativity amongst the crowd, not to mention lots of laughs and camaraderie.    
While the Climate Conference is held each day in the Bella Center, countless other activities are scattered throughout the city, and are open to the public.  

December is probably not the best time of year to visit Copenhagen, but it really is a lovely city, every day of the year.
