Home of Carlsberg: The Art and Science of perfect Beer
- Brad Wheal
- July 5, 2024
Whether it’s after a busy day travelling, with a good meal at lunch, or at the airport Wetherspoons at 7am, I love a beer. I used to just stick to my favourites, but now I really enjoy trying local beers, and with Europe so close there are so many master breweries for me to explore. […]

Copenhill: Copenhagen’s city hiking path
- Brad Wheal
- June 29, 2024
I love it when functional buildings are made fun, doubling the usage of the space. Copenhill is a great example of this. Cities naturally produce waste, unfortunately until there is a better method some of that waste has to be incinerated. But instead of having a big ugly waste-to-energy plant, they decided to incorporate it […]

Know before you Go: Copenhagen
- Brad Wheal
- June 10, 2024
Copenhagen, the vibrant capital of Denmark, is a city where history meets modernity. Where centuries-old castles coexist with cutting-edge architecture, and where the cosy concept of “hygge” permeates every corner. I loved my journey to this enchanting city, and I want you to enjoy yours too. So in this guide, I have written down everything […]

Tram Adventures in Lisbon
- Brad Wheal
- June 7, 2024
When looking at photos of Lisbon, it won’t take long to see a picture of their iconic trams. Having commuted by train for years to Central London, it’s pretty safe to say getting excited about public transport is a rarity for me. So when I say riding one of Lisbon’s iconic trams was non-negotiable, it […]

- May 31, 2024
If you want a city break where you can walk and explore with a coffee in your hand, Copenhagen is perfect. There is so much for you to explore that if you went by public transport you would miss. During my short stay in the city I did a self-guided tour with Around, which took […]

Torvehallerne: A Food Lovers Haven in Copenhagen
- Brad Wheal
- May 17, 2024
I’m terrible at finding restaurants when solo travelling, that’s just a fact. I love good food, but I have a habit of planning what I’ll be doing, and unmissable activities, that I forget to plan time to eat. So I often end up going to whatever is nearby and convenient at the time. I knew […]

The Little Mermaid: Copenhagen’s Seaside Jewel
- Brad Wheal
- May 11, 2024
The Little Mermaid is one of Copenhagen’s most iconic tourist attractions, and is a tribute to Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairytale by the same name. Everyone I know who has been to Copenhagen has visited the Little Mermaid, and almost all of them have felt disappointed by the statue. But I am all for forming […]

Exploring Copenhagen with a Self-Guided Walking Tour
- Brad Wheal
- April 26, 2024
As a seasoned traveller, I’ve tried my fair share of walking tours but not without issue. Often I can’t always hear the guides, I miss important information; or I don’t have enough time to take the photos and videos I want before being frogmarched on to the next stop. So when Around Tours approached me […]

Barbican Conservatory: Green escapes in Central London
- Brad Wheal
- April 20, 2024
London is full of hidden gyms.and secret locations. Despite spending years working around the corner. Even when I found out about it, I couldn’t get tickets. I did eventually get tickets for the Barbican Conservatory when they hosted an art show using lights in the gardens. Unfortunately for this to take full effect, it meant […]

I’ve always testified on this blog that the best way to see a city from above. So when a new one opened boasting to be London’s highest free viewpoint I knew I had to go. Horizon 22 opened in September 2023, and from 254 metres up, promised some of the best views of London. Showcasing […]
