The best of Copenhagen

items I lived in Copenhagen during the pandemic years and still regularly visit for work. Here are some of my favourite places.
Coffee Collective has been around for well over a decade now and has many cafes dotted around the city. But the Torvhallerne cafe is my favourite on a warm summer or spring day, you can sit outside and watch the world go by. My recommendation is the ...
Torvehallerne – Coffee Collective
This rec is for the crafty/artsy folks who want to spend creative time with friends. It's a ceramic painting cafe chain with lots of friendly staff and suggestions for how to paint your object of choice. I have a tradition of going with two of my goo...
Østerbro - Creative Space
One of my favourite places in all of Copenhagen and ones of the places that make the city truly unique - an amusement park in the city centre. My favourite ride is the old roller coaster. It's worth the entry for seeing the beautiful gardens and sett...
Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park – magical experiences for the ...
A must for modern art lovers - about an hour away from Central Copenhagen, this gallery sits on a coastal clifftop facing Sweden. Also has a decent cafe and gift shop. The perfect day trip.
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
It's very difficult to find a terrible pastry in Copenhagen, but the top tier of bakeries is worth your time for affordable luxury. I love Hart Bageri (now in multiple locations across the city) for their spandauer pastry and bolle med ost (cheese in...
Hart Bageri
I only spent time in the Nordhavn neighbourhood on my most recent trip to Copenhagen. La Cabra originated in Aarhus and now they have more locations worldwide. La Cabra's Nordhavn location has an interior that is perfect for a summer day, and has str...
La Cabra Nordhavn | Coffee Roastery & Café in Copenhagen
I used to work across the road from their Amager location of this ice cream shop and can confirm that they have the goods. Good solid, decadent ice cream flavours with a rotating seasonal flavour offering. If you're in CPH during Ramadan, their bakla...
The Best Ice Cream in Copenhagen! - Ismageriet
The mothership for all things cute in ceramic, glassware and stationery. There are two locations a short walk from each other in the centre of Copenhagen. If you have a Studio Ghibli sense of taste and whimsy, then be prepared to drop a ton of cash h...
The Studio Arhoj Web Shop – Studio Arhoj Store
I get wistful for Andersen Bakery's fastelavnsboller at the beginning of each year. Danish bakeries sell fastelavnsboller between New Year and the beginning of Lent and Andersen's offerings are the kind you buy a selection of to taste with fellow ent...
Andersen Bakery - Bageri, konditori og café
We all know about the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen's harbour, but have you heard of the Genetically Modified Little Mermaid statue? A short walk from the original is this amusing take on a classic.
The Genetically Modified Little Mermaid - Visit Copenhagen
Copenhagen's Anglican / Episcopal church. Located by the harbour next to the Gefion fountain and a short walk from the Little Mermaid. It's an English parish church with an interesting history that speaks to the connection between Britain and Denmark...
Welcome to St Alban's Anglican Church, Copenhagen, Denmark - St ...
My favourite bar in Copenhagen - have spent many happy hours with friends in this small corner pub. It showcases the best of Denmark microbrewery scene. Bar snacks are available but for more substantial meals, you are allowed to bring in takeaway fro...
