Random Recommendations

 

Below are some of the random things that I would say are a must to visit, whilst in Copenhagen: 


La Banchina 


An Italian restaurant and winebar, that looks out onto a little harbour. Whilst we were there, there were groups of people having little picnics and glasses of wine. It was so calm and peaceful, soaking up the autumn sun. There was also a small sauna that you could pay to use, which I imagine would be lovely in the winter after an icy dip in the water. Although, during summer the harbour is filled with people, sunbathing, swimming and relaxing. I can imagine if I were a local, I would love to go there all the time with a big group of friends and a few drinks.

Gasoline Grill 


One of the world’s best burgers, according to Bloomberg, Gasoline Grill serves unbelievable burgers in an old petrol station. At first, I was a bit concerned as the area looked a bit run down and the seating was strictly outside. However, after tasting the burger, I think the basic environment actually adds to the experience as it shows the owner Klaus Wittrup is so confident in the substance of its tasty burgers that the brand does not need to rely on the style and interior of a store as people will still queue and sit outside regardless. For a meal that includes a burger, chips, a dip and homemade lemonade, it cost £16, which would be similar to the likes of five guys in the UK, only this was far nicer as you could tell the ingredients were fresh. 


Address: Niels Hemmingsens Gade 20, 1153 København K, Denmark



Things I wish I had more time to do:

 

  • A  canal tour 

  • Tivoli Garden’s- amusement park in the centre 

  • A couple of art museums

Troubling Travels

  The metro  Running 24 hours a day, with a train arriving every 90 seconds, the metro is the most convenient way to get around. With only four lines, unlike the London underground, it is quite easy to navigate. The price of your ticket varies on how many zones you plan to travel through, but when I was there, no ticket was more than £4 for an hour and a half time limit of travel. There are various ways in which you can purchase your ticket, you can pay via the app DOT or at one of the terminals at the station. However, be warned , always have your ticket before stepping onto the train, as I learned the hard way. Heading to the city centre for a night out, I was paying for my ticket with Apple pay when the train arrived, I got on but the payment was still pending and hadn’t gone through yet. As soon as we stepped on the train so did the wardon, and they headed straight for me, trying to fine me £75. Slightly drunk, I tried to remain calm, telling the wardon “ I Completely...

Scandi Sips and Sweets Treats

The Danish Love for pastries dates all the way back to the mid 19 th century when a strike amongst Danish bakers led to a shortage of skilled Labours. This resulted in bakers from Austria coming to Denmark with the unique technique of incorporating butter into dough to create flaky layered delights, as well as the addition of custards and Jams to create exceptional flavour combinations. Now, deeply ingrained in the Danish culture and apart of daily life, there is “bageri” on every street in Copenhagen.   On my Weekend trip, it was essential we visited a couple to see if they lived up to our expectations. These included:   Hart Bageri   The previous pastry chef of the award-winning restaurant in Copenhagen, Noma, Richard Hart started his own venture of Hart bakery in 2018 alongside Talia Richard-Carvajal in the pursuit of bringing both style and substance with their bakes. Now, with 10 bakeries across Copenhagen, the pairs initial ideology of “Sprezzatura”, an I...
