TOP 5 HOT SPOTS COPENHAGEN:

Wecycle Copenhagen:

One amazing cafe is Wecycle Copenhagen. Considering the fact that I’m a Dutchie and Holland is known for its bike craze, I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic towards this concept. Haukur Thorr, the owner of the cafe, decided to pimp old bikes and create a space where people can enjoy their coffee while looking at his unique and customised bike creations. They also rent out bikes which has been very successful because tourists especially like to ride the streets of Copenhagen in style. Combining quality and experience is what makes the company thrive. They ensure to use the best coffee beans, served with a Danish specialty treat – Leckerbaers brownies.

Strøget & Vesterbro

Copenhagen’s main shopping street happens to be the longest pedestrian street in the world. It contains both international brands and Danish boutiques, and has two popular department stores known as Magasin and Illum. It is extremely lively and a popular tourist attraction, filled with restaurants and cafe’s for people to take a break from shopping.

Vesterbro is known as the trendiest part of the city and has many side streets for small, edgy boutiques.

Bowl Market Copenhagen

Bowl Market Copenhagen offers healthy food made from top quality, locally sourced ingredients and a focus on gluten free, organic, and vegan options with respect to the different seasons. Popular dishes include porridges, acai smoothie bowls, soups, risottos and baked goods. The Bowl Market was even nominated as one of the best cafes in Copenhagen year in 2017 and it is definitely one of my go – to places when I want to grab a quick bite to eat.

Mother – Italian Restaurant

“Mother” is an authentic Italian restaurant located in the old meatpacking district of Copenhagen. Their menu offers a variety of Italian dishes including delicious woodstone pizza’s, pasta’s and desserts. As any proud Italian restaurant, they make sure to import most of their ingredients from Italy, except for their mozzarella – which they make on site using local organic milk. The restaurant’s rustic interior is a beautiful combination between Italian and Danish design, as most of the furniture is made from wood craft. I ordered the four cheese pizza which I usually do and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Ralph had a pizza with rocket and burrata, so yum! We actually had dinner outside (!) with heaters and blankets, so cozy and kinda romantic!

Café Atelier September

Café Atelier September is a highly recommended favourite among locals from Copenhagen and is increasingly gaining popularity with tourists as well. Their menu consists of breakfast and lunch and focuses on organic seasonal dishes which primarily include all sorts of delicious fruits and veggies as well as baked goods, pastries, and of course; the famous croissant. They also offer an extensive beverage menu with Danish coffee, locally brewed tea, and a wine menu. It’s one of the cutest and more intimate cafe’s I’ve come to enjoy in this city and I therefore definitely recommend it!

Glyptoteket

One of my favourite outings that I did when I was in Copenhagen was the Glyptoteket Museum. Its location is absolutely stunning due to the architecture and Danish design. The museum displays a combination of ancient and modern art pieces from collections of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman decent. The location also holds a beautiful winter garden alongside a Café where you can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a cup of coffee. Besides the permanent collection that the public can visit any day of the year, the museum also holds events and temporary exhibitions.
