Autumn is coming (to misquote Jon Snow). For the last 40 years Copenhagen has often come top of international happiness surveys. They even have a special word for a specific type of happiness; "hygge". It's used to describe the cosy feeling of togetherness which gets them through winter. In Britain I think the closest we have is "that post Sunday-roast, feeling lazy, get me a cup of tea 'cos I just want to lounge on the sofa" feeling. "Hygge" is definitely more succinct #copenhagen #denmark #kopenhagen #visitcopenhagen #VisitDenmark #somewhereincopenhagen #citytrip #hygge #igerscopenhagen #wanderlust #travel #adventure #passionpassport #featuremevisitcopenhagen #sharingcph #paperart #travelandlife #nature #autumn #bestintravel #bbctravel #adventure #instagoodmyphoto #guardiancities #guardiantravelsnaps #københavn #silhouette #photography #leaf #ballet #dance @royalcopenhagen

Towards the end of WWI, France built a ‘Second Paris’ near the capital city to confuse German pilots. It was located near the town of Maisons-Laffitte, on a stretch of the River Seine. As well as replicas of iconic landmarks, including the Arc de Triomphe, it even had sham streets lined with electric lights so that from the sky it would look like a real city.

The Little Mermaid taking a selfie; Shot for #lpkids (@lonelyplanet's brand for little adventurers). Hans Christian Anderson (who wrote the fairy tale) always took some unusual pieces of equipment with him when he travelled, including a rope in case a fire broke out and he was forced to escape through a window. Fortunately he never needed it #lonelyplanet #copenhagen #denmark #kopenhagen #visitcopenhagen #selfiestick #sea #paperart #sky #VisitDenmark #somewhereincopenhagen #citytrip #instaart #igerscopenhagen #wanderlust #travel #adventure #travelbreak #travelandlife #intrepidtravel

Shot for #lpkids (@lonelyplanet's brand for little adventurers) Theres still mystery surrounding the night Dutch artist Van Gogh lost his ear, but some people think fellow painter Paul Gauguin was responsible for cutting it off during a heated argument and that Van Gogh took responsibility to protect Gauguin from persecution (because he admired him deeply). Or perhaps Van Gogh really did just have an accident with his razor blade. Whatever happened the two artists never saw each other again and Van Gogh checked himself into a mental asylum a few days later #lonelyplanet #amsterdam #amsterdamcity #traveladdict #amstergram #citytrip #thankyouamsterdam #igersamsterdam #loves_amsterdam #awesomeamsterdam #iamsterdam #wanderlust #travelgram #instaphoto #travel #adventure #sunshine #paint #art #artist #painting #instaart #amsterdamworld #vacation #holland #netherlands #artist #vangogh #flowers @amsterdamworld

The Globen (the building that looks like a golf ball), is the sun in the world's largest scale model of the solar system. The whole thing is done to a scale of 1:20 million with the other planets represented by sculptures/buildings all along the Baltic coast #wanderlust #travel #traveller #stockholm #visitstockholm #igersstockholm #this_is_stockholm #viewstockholm #stockholm_insta #stockholmfoto #stoccolma #cityscape #adventure #passionpassport #passport #golf #golfer #streetart #silhouette #instaphoto #instaart #paperart #cutout #ericsson #globen #igswstockholm0915 #ericssongloben #loves_sweden #andfacts #ericssonglobe #stockholm_insta

Hi to the newbies- thanks for checking out my insta. Here's a new one from my trip to Paris at le weekend When the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre, the museum shut down for nine days, the French bor­der was closed and all depart­ing ships and trains were searched. The mystery wasn't solved until two years later though, when the thief turned out to be Vin­cenzo Perug­gia, a car­pen­ter who had been working at the museum and knew all the exits and escape routes. Perug­gia had even helped build the glass case that the Mona Lisa was displayed in, so he knew how to get the paint­ing out. At closing time, he hid in a broom closet and then walked out an exit after dark hold­ing the Mona Lisa under his coat.
