This map of Copenhagen is an all-encompassing map designed to be the one-stop shop for everything you need to know for a stay in the capital of Denmark. Sat on coastal islands, linked to Sweden by the Oresund Bridge. Copenhagen is a bustling Scandinavian capital, rich with royal history, shopping, and a world-class culinary scene highlighted by world-famous restaurants such as Noma & Alchemist.
I've designed this map to be used both for pre-scouting sights and recommended restaurants, and as a map to reference what's nearby as you walk around Copenhagen.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tom Isbister
Available for hire
Born from a passion for exploration, out of Toronto. Travel has taken me all over North America and Europe! I've gotten the opportunity to leave Canada, and live in Finland, Germany, and Poland. At the same time, having traveled to 18 countries!
From those opportunities, I started crafting and sharing my maps which I feel provide a sense of exploration and recommendations that others can use to create their own memorable experiences. This led me to create Abroad&Co. Each map is handcrafted, both from personal experience and local recommendations. They're a go-to way to learn what each new place you visit has to offer.
Whether it's to help plan a dream trip abroad or explore more of what your own backyard has to offer, check out my collection of ready-to-go maps or let me create one for yourself.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, additions, or corrections at (thomas.abroadandco@gmail.com).
