Bogforum - books and people in Frederiksberg

Interesting presentations and discussions take place at the book fair, Bogforum.

If you're in Frederiksberg in the beginning of November - any November any year -  you might wonder why there are so many people around the exhibition centre and concert hall 'Forum'. The reason is 'Bogforum' - a large fair featuring books, writers, publishers - and of course: readers!

Book worms filling the fair.

Every year busy lovers of literature flock to this two day fair, which takes place on a weekend. This year it is this weekend and it's open from 10 to 6 both Saturday and Sunday. The entrance fee is 110 DKK.

There are lots of great offers and discounts to enjoy - and often also free reading copies and catalogs from the publishers.

No book fair is complete without writers, critics and journalists presenting and discussing, so you might be lucky enough to bump into one of your writer heroes. Only downside is that all discussions and presentations are in Danish, but perhaps you can sneak yourself a greeting or autograph.

The pretty poster for this year's book fair in Forum, Copenhagen.

This year's poster is so pretty and attractive - enough to lure me in - so I went by there today. It is a nice place if you enjoy books, but prepare yourself for lots and lots of other book worms joining in on the fun, so it can get quite crowded.

Visit their website here: http://www.bogforum.dk/ - and the address for Forum is:

Julius Thomsens Plads 1
DK-1925 Frederiksberg C

Sharing Torvehallerne - the place spoil your tastebuds!

We've just been to the new food shopping arcade in Copenhagen called 'Torvehallerne'. It used the be an outdoors vegetable, fruit and flower market, but this central square now features both in- and outdoor food stalls offering all kinds of tasty food and drinks.

Torvehallerne october 2011
There's a wide range of food to choose from and everything is delicious! The world famous The Coffee Collective has a stall there and you can taste a variety of foreign and local specialties (We recommend trying a proper Danish pasty in one of the bakeries). The quality is very good which the prices also reflect...

Torvehallerne October 2011

The thought was for the food hall to be the town's pantry, but it is more of a gourmet market - but it is fun to walk around in the two indoor markets and taste some of the wonderful food.
