This past July, we spent a few days in Copenhagen. A coworker (Fatih!) asked for a few tips, and since I wrote them up in Slack, I figured I’d copy and past them here for more permanence.
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art: It’s about an hour train ride north of the city but well worth it. Beautiful grounds, nice collection of modern art. Great food too.
Tivoli Gardens: Our hotel opened up into the park and while we didn’t ride any of the rides, just walking around was really nice. We grabbed a hot dog and a beer one afternoon for a late lunch and that was really pleasant.
Reffen: We biked out here to a giant permanent street food area on the water. Great place to sample all sorts of different cuisines, and then grab a drink and sit by the water. Younger crowd but it was a very fun vibe.
La Banchina: Daytime spot that is a little bakery that sells bread and natural wines and champagne. The cool thing about this place is they have a swimming spot behind it so people are swimming in the ocean while you sit and enjoy your bread.
Barr (restaurant): Probably the best meal we had in Copenhagen. We did the wine and beer pairings, and the service was outstanding.
And you must try smørrebrød somewhere — we went to Møntergade downtown, and it was a slightly classier lunch spot (lots of business people in there while we were). The waiter was also very welcoming and was happy to explain things to us, give suggestions, and answer questions.
