We love Copenhagen. Everything about it just oozes understated style and sophistication. It is effortlessly cool. Bars and restaurants (or at least the ones we’ve visited) are contemporary without being up themselves. Shops are largely of the independent variety, and always seem to be owned by people with exquisite taste. The city is clean. Cyclists […]
For us, Copenhagen has everything. It’s a city, but it’s centre is small. It’s green – the bicycle reigns supreme! It’s well connected with good public transport. It’s achingly cool. It’s cultural. It’s arty. It’s historical and edgy at the same time. It’s clean! And there’s no better we found, to discover Copenhagen, than get […]
If there’s one thing that Copenhagen isn’t short of, it’s independent eateries. Vesterbro, Norrebro, Frederiksburg and Paper Island, in particular, are full of them. But a real stand out place is Torvehallerne, a food/market hall located in Frederiksburg. It’s a modern glass construction, but laid out, design-wise, so well inside. The independent foodie places all […]
Sometimes you just hit very lucky when you search on the internet for accommodation – and this is exactly what we were when we stumbled up Axel Guldsmeden in the achingly hip district of Vesterbro, Copenhagen. Definitely not a chain, but with hotels also in the Latin Quarter of Aarhus (Denmark), Reykjavik, Oslo, Cote d’Azur […]
On our last trip to Copenhagen we wanted to find somewhere quite special to eat – but we were quite specific about what we wanted. We’d checked out Noma online – thankfully, the restaurant was closed during our stay, otherwise we’d obviously had made a booking. At 1900DKK (currently just under £160 pp) we couldn’t […]
One of the best things about Copenhagen is how beautifully understated many things are. You literally stumble across amazing design stores, museums, coffee houses, bars and restaurants. Nothing seems to be flaunted in a flashy way – it seems to be a case of “If you find us, that’s cool…” And this was very much […]
Copenhagen has long been on our “must visit” list, but for a variety of reasons – in hindsight, all ill founded – it’s taken us way too long to get there. Too cold, too near to home, too expensive, too much like home etc etc. How wrong were we? We were right about how close […]
We love travelling and exploring and nothing excites us more than being able to easily hop from one country to the next – and even more exciting if it can be done in a day! On a recent visit to Copenhagen, we decided to follow in the footsteps of Saga and Martin and head over […]
