food

Seks
@threedays
for an unforgettable experience, go get some seks. we recommend having it with friends in the morning, if you catch our drift… on a more serious note, this is the place for a cozy breakfast with an unbelievably cool menu.

7-Eleven
@threedays
if you want to turn your insides orange, look no further. 7/11 is the spot for quick, reasonably priced snacks and, in our case, general sustenance. the pizza slice is our #1 menu item.

The Living Room
@threedays
for unbeatable cafe vibes, the living room is the place to relax during a rainy day, or catch up with a friend. they have a moroccan tea room on the ground floor as well, if that suits your fancy.

Warpigs Brewpub
@threedays
lined with picnic tables reminiscent of the summer months where people sit outside and drink, laugh, and have great meats, warpigs is a monolith of a bbq place, serving amazing and hearty meals alongside one of their many signature taps. in this area as well is the rest of the meatpacking district, rife with neat establishments.

The Dubliner
@threedays
classic irish pub experience in the heart of copenhagen. if you pretend you are from ireland you get discounts on drinks. the live musical acts are full of energy and will have you dancing on the tables (they actually asked us to do that.)

Bastard Café
@threedays
the best bar we went to, hands down. they have board games, good food, cheap drinks, an awesome social atmosphere, and a secret jazz club upstairs. it feels more like a cultural hub than a bar.

Søhesten
@threedays
one of the best jazz bars in copenhagen. nothing else needs to be explained here... except that søhesten has an epic vegan whiskey sour. arrive early to get a good seat on wednesdays for jazz night that goes from 8-10, with more fun ensuing after.

La Fontaine
@threedays
another great jazz bar with live jams every evening. it fills up quick, so be sure to get there early, around 8.

Kalvebod Bølge
@threedays
any day of the week, you will surely find at least four to five people in this swimming hole, regardless of the weather. it is one of our favourite places to take a dip, with beautiful views of the promenade along the canal and a wonderful atmosphere.

Islands Brygge
@threedays
another great place for a dip, with a 10m platform to jump into the water from if you are brave

Copenhagen Opera House
@threedays
architecturally stunning and a quick ferry bus ride from the centre of the city, the opera house lobby is a great spot to relax and collect yourself during a day of exploring.

@threedays
go ahead and take a walk through this vibrant neighborhood of warmly colored 17th and 18th-century row houses and cobbled streets.

Botanical Garden
@threedays
filled with flora from around the world, the botanical gardens is an oasis set in the heart of the city. with so much history and greenery, it is easy to become lost for a little bit. they also have a butterfly room.

what was once a drawbridge tower, this unassuming place has become one of our favorites, serving a very lowkey cup of coffee with an amazing view and occasional dinners that you have to book in advance, it is always our first stop on our visits to copenhagen.

along the water’s edge, you will come across a serene picnic bench. next to it is something that will make you jump with joy.

55°41'13.2"N 12°33'32.0"E & 55°41'07.3"N 12°33'19.4"E

an adorable walking & bike street with plant life, near a cool park built over a building

55°40'39.5"N 12°35'56.4"E
