The City Guide to Copenhagen
Storm - Design Art Fashion
Clothing store · Copenhagen Central
"Storm Copenhagen is the ideal store for the most discerning shoppers, whether you’re a tourist or a local who has the leg up on choice luxury brands. Customers will be happy to know that it’s one of the few destinations in the city that sells AMBUSH, Off-White™ and other in-the-know labels. Nike, adidas and other luxury footwear staples are also sold here. The modern design of the outpost is a bonus as well as the space feels one-part art gallery and one-part cultural meeting spot."
Norse Store
Clothing store · Copenhagen
"Norse Store has long been a Copenhagen staple and is always highly recommended by the locals for quality clothing and kicks. Norse Store also carries its own in-house label and caters to both men and women with refined, tried-and-true designs. If you gravitate towards sophistication or just brands who don’t follow trends, then this place is for you. But you’ll also find popular footwear like YEEZYs, rare Nikes and visvim."
Soulland
Corporate office · Copenhagen
"Soulland is another trusted streetwear institution in the city. The label has been in operation for more than 10 years now and continues to prosper with its focus on creating modern and artful designs. Founders Silas Adler and Jacob Kampp Berline have also created sought-after Nike collabs in addition to creating a store where street and fashion culture will always thrive."
Rezet Sneaker
Permanently Closed
"A true sneaker destination, Rezet is usually one of the first places footwear fans in the city head to when it comes to lining up to buy the latest rare adidas or Nike releases. But Rezet does more than just sell kicks, as it also hosts events and meet-ups ensuring Copenhagen’s sneaker community can interact. The store will sometimes hold customization sessions, or just have random gatherings for raffles and contests."
Restaurant Pluto
Restaurant · Adelsgade
"There are hardly any bad reviews for Pluto which means this dining destination is a must-visit for anyone wanting to try delicious Scandinavian and Danish fare. A 12-course menu is a solid choice, but a la carte seafood options are also highly recommended by critics. Feast on tapas while enjoying a nice wine pairing from Pluto’s vast selection, then dive into one of the mains such as the scallops or ribs."
Llama
Latin American restaurant · Pistolstræde
"The one thing you’ll notice about Llama right away is its vibrant, mosaic-like design. The walls and decor are just as colorful as the dishes on Llama’s menu which draws inspiration from Latin American countries like Ecuador, Chile, Peru and Argentina, to name a few. Dishes are served with a pleasant aesthetic but they’re all more-than-meets-the eye. The ceviche here is always a top choice, and items like the beef skewers and pork belly never disappoint."
Café Victor
European restaurant · Rigensgade
"Cafe Victor is a French brasserie with a Danish twist, with decor that takes you back in time. Returning patrons come here for the impressive wine list as well as the outdoor seating. The eatery serves French, European and Danish dishes, standouts include the rack of lamb, stuffed quail or the veal. Don’t forget to ask the servers for some wine recommendations for optimal pairing."
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Modern art museum · Humlebæk
"Copenhagen has a long list of museums to visit, but the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, located in Humlebæk about 25 miles north of the capital, is well worth the trek outside the city. Visitors are always impressed with its permanent collection, which includes pieces from the likes of Pablo Picasso, Jean Dubuffet and Louise Bourgeois. If that still doesn’t fill-up your art itinerary, then the location itself should be impressive enough with its lush outdoor areas and photo-worthy sculptures. The place is also easy to reach by public transportation so getting there shouldn’t be a hassle."
Botanical Garden
Botanical garden · Øster Farimagsgade
"No city guide would be complete if it didn’t have a garden destination and the Botanisk Have, one of Copenhagen’s more popular garden parks, is high on any tourist’s list. Visitors are most drawn to this botanical garden’s serenity, with many finding an afternoon spent observing flowers and trees to be a meditative experience. The central atrium is also an impressive sight, and the mix of architecture and nature creates a near-transcendental experience."
Freetown Christiania
Overgaden oven Vandet
"Freetown, or its proper name Christiana, is quite a legendary area in Copenhagen. Some say it’s dangerous, but it’s certainly worth a visit. A lot of the structures in Freetown are makeshift, with colorful graffiti and artworks plastered almost everywhere. But if you’re looking to enjoy the area, there are galleries, organic eateries and beautiful natural sights here to check out."
Tivoli Gardens
Theme park · Bernstorffsgade
"Once in the city, Tivoli is hard to miss — it’s within the town hall square as well as Copenhagen’s main train station. The amusement park is something out of a fairy tale book with its colorful decor, fanciful structures and exhilarating rides. You can literally hear the sound of children laughing and enjoying themselves while walking nearby. And while Tivoli is something children will gravitate to more, grown-ups too can find this place adventurous and fun — enjoy the food, the rides and the scenery."
