Guidebook for København
Food Scene
The absolute best street food place! It's basically a huge warehouse where all the containers have been reconverted into food trucks from around the world. There's some space to sit inside or you can also sit outside in the sun if the weather is good. A DJ comes on weekends.
Great choice if you want a lot of choice and if you have different tastes than your travel companions: everyone can choose his/her favourite :)

Lovely place for a brunch. It is quite close from our home by bike especially. They have a copious and delicious brunch, or you can choose items on the menu. The cafe is on a cute little square so that only adds to its general atmosphere!

If you crave some Thai food during your stay. Close to our place and they make delicious food. If you choose a menu there WILL be leftovers as those are huge. You can go for the safe choice of Pad Thai, otherwise we love their Panang curry. We have their menu at home so you can check it before going/ordering.

This park in the city centre is one of the most beautiful because of its glasshouse. You can walk to the top of it, above the trees, and feel like you're in the jungle.
Otherwise take a walk around to see and smell all the plants of the garden. You will spot ducks and turtles in the ponds.

Klampenborg (and Bellevue beach) are approx 20/30 mins away by bike and only 10 by train. If the weather is good, it's the perfect place to sunbathe and take a dip in the sea.
We can lend you a beach blanket !

Entertainment & Activities
You should go to Tivoli in the evening when the place is all lit-up with hundreds of small lamps, lights... As the 2nd oldest amusement park in the world, it still has some of its old-fashioned atmosphere and nostalgia which is lovely to experience. On Friday evenings during summer, there is a concert in the centre of the park. Sometimes they can be quite famous!

At the moment, Arken is displaying work from Gerda Wegener (wife of Lili Elbe, who inspired the movie "The Danish Girl"). We absolutely loved this exhibition and recommend it!
The walk from the train station to the museum is also pleasant.
