Easily the best ice cream in Copenhagen - if not all of Denmark. There’s a few spots around the city but this one in Meatpackers district is our favourite. ‘Try before you buy’ is welcome here so be bold and try some different flavours. You won’t regret it.

If you’re looking for quality bread and typical danish pastry this is your place. On weekends our neighbours line up for a freshly baked rye-bread or sourdough rolls. The sweet cardamom rolls are my favourite.

‘The snail’ is a little peace of architectural heaven. This is where many copenhageners come to swim and enjoy the ocean. Take a walk here through the beach park. It’s worth the effort

One of the oldest bathing houses in Copenhagen. Only open to the public in summer. At winter it’s members only. (People wait for literally decades to become a member here and bathe in the near freezing water. It’s a strange world.)
