I'm traveling to Copenhagen in May 2023. This is my list of 100+ destinations based on tens of hours of research from well-trusted sources that range from personal contacts to travel experts and publications. 

The list is categorized by place type, inclusive of restaurants, cafés, shops, museums, and playgrounds. While my research accounts for the fact that I'll have my 2-year-old daughter in tow, I don't exclude things because of that.

After my trip in May, I will update this based on my experience and highlights.

Looking for amazing recommendations? I've got you covered!

I read tonssss of blogs written by Copenhagen locals before my recent trip there and they led me to these lovely spots. Some are tried and tested, some I'm still yearning to visit. 

What they all have in common: each of these spots have at least a 4/5 rating on Google and that measure hasn't led me astray yet 😊

Hello! I'm Zack. My trip was from 4/6/23-4/15/23. My main interests while traveling were getting to know the city, experiencing the cuisine, getting some photography experience in and a little bit of drinking here and there.

Copenhagen + Sweden: 3 day Itinerary

Aamanns 1921

This is a Michelin Starred Restaurant.   We did the tasting menu for 690 DK--my partner ordered the standard one, I did the veggie 'green' option.  I preferred the dishes on his tasting menu.   If we were to go again we'd order from the A La Carte Menu instead.  

You MUST book ahead for this restaurant as its super popular.

I have attached some other restaurant options for open faced sandwiches if Aamans doesn't appeal to you in the link below:

Apparently this is one of the most popular restaurants for smørrebrød - traditional Danish open-faced sandwiches! There is also a deli and takeaway option.

Good restaurant for smorrebrods. Nice decoration. Quite expensive.
