Copenhagen Guide
When in doubt: Alex’s CPH Map
Travel
Copenhagen Airport has a direct metro and train line to the city. Download the DSB app for ease of ticket buying, otherwise there are kiosks to buy tickets. Metro zones 1-4 is sufficient.
For everyday getting around, use the metro! It is clean, efficient, and quick.

Food
Copenhagen has some of the best food ever. You MUST try these:
Breakfast and Coffee (because coffee is never just enough)
Seks Cafe (top 5 places to eat in the world, personally)
Format Cafe (within the Design Museum, walk into the front lobby and turn left)
Anderson & Maillard (get the cube croissants)
Orsa Coffee (third wave but worth it)
La Cabre (duh)
Coffee Collective (multiple locations
Brunch or Lunch
Atelier September (I almost saw Dua Lipa there)
Dinner
Polly (top 5 places to eat in the world, personally)
Reffen (warning: seasonal, I recommend taking the ferry)
Fabro (get there EARLY, the chalk board outside is their waiting list lol)
Wine and Cheese (because wine is never just enough)
Bottega Barlie (seasonal menu)
Cafe Phoenix (in a cute square)
Pompette (natural wine bar, Poulette is next door)
Garden Vinbar (close to the park)
Wildcards
7/11… fancy and okay food!
Emmery’s is the Starbucks of Copenhagen
Harbor Attractions
I recommend taking the metro to Orientkaj (Nordhavn) and taking the ferry near that station. Go North to South:
Nordhavn (newer part of Copenhagen, newer cafes and architecture)
Reffen (mentioned in food)
Operaparken (ferry to the Opera, walk around)
Black Diamond Library (walk in and out)
Walk back through the old library grounds, back into the old city!
Museums
All are good!
SMK (good cafe for lunch)
Design Museum Denmark (get there early, buy your ticket, eat at Format Cafe, then tour)
Historic Attractions
Changing of the guards at Amaleinborg Slot
Swimming
Clean harbors and beaches, good sunning!
Reffen (if you are brave enough)
Outside the City
Louisiana Museum (must, its a 40 minute train from the city from Norreport)
Helsingor Maritime Museum (there is a great food hall only 5 minutes from here)
Shopping
Illum Mall (cafe and pizza on the roof!)
Hay House
Arket
