April
Spring has sprung! Warmer, drier days bring out the blossoms, and attrac-
tions that were closed for the winter reopen: Legoland at the start of April,
Tivoli midmonth.
CPH:PIX
Held over two weeks from mid-April, this is Copenhagen's feature-film festival
(
www.cphpix.dk
). Expect flicks from Denmark and abroad, as well as a busy program of
film-related events.
Sort Sol
The marshlands of the west-coast Wadden Sea provide food and rest for millions of mi-
gratory birds, and in late March and April (and again in September/October) huge forma-
tions of starlings put on a brilliant natural show known as the 'Sort Sol' (Black Sun).
May
The sun comes out on a semipermanent basis, more warm-weather attrac-
tions open, and the events calendar starts filling as Danes throw off winter's
gloom. Tourists have yet to arrive in great numbers.
Aalborg Karneval
In late May, Aalborg kicks up its heels hosting the biggest Carnival celebrations in north-
ern Europe (
www.aalborgkarneval.dk
), when up to 100,000 participants and spectators
shake their maracas and paint the town red.
