Six Danish Instagram Accounts to Follow

Instagram has emerged as a wonderful way to explore any city. If you’re planning to visit, or you’re not able to, those little squares give you the ability to be a digital traveler. We’ve shown you the best of Iceland, from Danish food to architecture to the Blue Lagoon. Our favorite Danish accounts have just as much to offer!

List Marker: Number 2@Mortenordstrom

Nobody captures Copenhagen like freelance photographer Morten Nordstrom! Though he does his fair share of traveling as well, it’s his cosy-yet-professional looking shots of the city that make us miss home when we’re away. His shots are also in the header image above.

List Marker: Number 3@Septemberedit

Caroline’s account is less about the city itself and more about the modern Danish aesthetic. Lots of white space, natural light and pretty packaging; we imagine that her life is like living inside a Wilhelm Hammershøi painting.

List Marker: Number 5@Madaboutcopenhagen

Mad About Copenhagen (mad means food in Danish!) aggregates pictures of food from spots around the city to create an account that essentially functions as a food & drink guide.

List Marker: Number 6@Jonbjarnicom

Danish/Icelandic photographer Jon has been featured on the site previously and we continue to love his work. His street portraits paired with the stories in his captions are a breath of fresh air in a city that can sometimes be portrayed as too precious.
