Copenhagen has over the years become one of the world’s gourmet capitals. The city is also abundant with everything from small cosy pub style eateries, cafes with great coffee and establishments serving world class local beer to world class Michelin star restaurants.
Copenhagen is a wonderful summer city with numerous city squares and patios where restaurants open up to the street. The city centre is pedestrian and bicycle friendly, which creates a peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere. At the small harbour inlet of Nyhavn you can enjoy a nice meal at one of the harbour side restaurants, or just buy a cold beer at the local bottle shop, sit down and enjoy the slow pace of life. Be sure to climb the tower of Church of our Savior to get an aerial view of the city - the spiral stairs are on the outside of the tower so not for the faint hearted!

Summer in Copenhagen not only means long summer days and warm bright evenings, it is also when the city buzzes into back into life after a cold winter.
The Killing, Borgen, The Bridge, and The Chestnut Man were all filmed on location in Copenhagen. The streets, the palaces, and the harbour you watched on screen are real, open, and worth seeing in a different light.
