COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
Copenhagen wants no introduction! With the continuous peloton of extremely cool cyclists (not in lycra and helmets, I’d add), candy little cafes and cobbled streets hiding one of the best classic shops, it’s little surprise why this can be a high vacation spot in each traveler’s Scandinavian itinerary.
Keep at Nimb Resort (one other member of Small Luxurious Motels), contained in the world’s second oldest amusement park — Tivoli Gardens! There’s nothing fairly like opening up your window to view a pantomime efficiency on a peacock-shaped stage set amongst fantastically maintained gardens. That is like Disneyland’s cooler older sister (in actual fact, Tivoli was really a supply of inspiration for Hans Christian Anderen and Walt Disney — there you go!).
Go to Tivoli Gardens. There are rides, performances, lovely gardens and nice locations to eat, Kilden being one in every of them (they develop most of their greens on website!).
Clearly, you’re visiting Copenhagen for the buying, so let’s get into it. Quickfire, as a result of we don’t have all day (though I may go on all day):
For homewares and design; HAY Home (predictable, however price it), Louise Roe, LOU and Studio Arhoj (see the glass blowers and ceramicists at work) — these are a number of shops I managed to pop my head into, however in all honesty, you would stroll the streets all day and discover nice design spots alongside your manner. Many cute cafes additionally are inclined to have a design/store aspect to them too, and are nice sources of inspiration — and low!
For classic buying; Jerome Classic, Magnolias and Time’s Up Classic have been all FANTASTIC, nonetheless much more could be present in Nørrebro.
Dine at Juno the Bakery for mouth-watering pastries — it’s a well-liked spot for a purpose. In any other case hit up Hart Bageri or Lille (and go there hungry, since you’ll need to strive the lot). Scorching tip, in the event you see any bakeries with sourdough buns, ask to have one with cheese — they’ll slice it, butter it and fill it with native cheese, scrumptious!
For conventional Danish smørbrød (open-faced sandwiches) paired with Danish beer and do-it-yourself schnapps, head to Michelin-recommended Aamanns 1921.
And, for an expertise you received’t neglect, try Cykelkokken — dinner on bikes! Effectively, a stupendous new course at every new scenic spot across the metropolis, traveled to by bike and ready by a chef who cooks on a specially-designed kitchen bike. This was such a enjoyable dinner, and an effective way to see the town — plus you get to affix the peloton!
