"Initially a pop-up restaurant from chef René Redzepi, Popl now has permanent digs in the city’s Christianshavn. This new neighbourhood wine-and-burger bar draws inspiration from the izakaya, Japan’s informal drinking establishments, in both furnishings and atmosphere."

"Hotel SP34’s urbane bent is testimony to the design-minded approach deployed by family-run Brøchner Hotels. One of the group’s former posts in the Latin Quarter and its neighbouring apartment building were gutted and rebuilt in 2014 to form this 118-room hotel complete with terrace bar, gym, conference centre and mini cinema."

"This centrally located restaurant has a New Yorkish feel to it. That’s partly down to the mixture of seating at tables or on bar stools and the open kitchen that features lots of white tiles and raw concrete."

"The Danish pottery industry is kiln-hot and, in the skilful hands of Eric Landon, it’s easy to see why. “I want to show the world that you can sit and relax and drink coffee in a beautiful studio and then make a pot,” says Landon from his 18th-century workplace in Copenhagen’s old town, which has been the home of his brand, Tortus Copenhagen, since 2012. Landon moved to Denmark from the US in 1999 and has been reviving the country’s centuries-old ceramics scene ever since. "

"Occupying the space where Copenhagen’s botanical gardens used to be, Kunsthal Charlottenborg is an ivy-laden red-brick structure built by architects Ferdinand Meldahl and Albert Jensen in 1883. Created as an extension of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which sits just across its quiet courtyard, the exhibition hall was created to host salons and annual member shows."

"Constructed from some six million biscuit-coloured bricks, this monolithic church towers like a rocket ship over the quiet residential streets that surround it. Designed by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint in 1913 (although not finished until after his death in 1940) this rare example of religious expressionist architecture is a pilgrimage for design enthusiasts."

"In recent years, kayakers have increasingly taken to the vast expanse of waterways in the centre of Copenhagen. Offering a unique perspective on the city’s best-loved sights, kayak tours typically last two hours and are usually conducted at a relaxed pace. There are a few operators to choose from but Kayak Republic is well established and offers short courses as well as guided tours. On its three-hour Nordic Food tour, a light paddle around the harbour to sample fresh seafood is followed by a mussels supper on the “floating beach” at Kayak Bar."
