This bookshop, Charlottenborg Art Books, found at the entrance of the art hall, has a great curated selection of both artist’ books and general art books on art, design and architecture. If you want to dive into experimental book designs from Europe this is the place to visit.

Between colony gardens in Amager lies one of my favourite local spots: Baghaven. Good food and cosiness is in the forefront. Various events with and without music gather people on the square at Diamantgangen 75. A very local experience. Great for families, children, young and old.

As the summer is my favorite time of the year and that the beach is just 15 min bikeride away, I recommend Amager strand. Full of people usually though, but even so it gives a bit of an exotic touch to such a scandinavian city with the sea and the bright sand in the hot summer days.

This nightclub has a great soundsystem and wonderful, diverse lineup... A lot of disco and italo... People come to dance, it has a safe space policy and its not druggy - and they have great wine and cocktails. (Yes, Im a resident there, hehe)

Whenever I feel uninspired I visit the (now genericly named) Design Museum, formerly known as Kunstindustrimuseet. Sort of the V&A of Copenhagen. An old museum filled with gorgeus fabrics, weird artifacts and a cozy library filled with books about arts & crafts from around the world. If you're still uninspired after a visit here you're not able to. Don't forget to have lunch in the beautiful center garden surrounding by the overgrown buildings, statues and old trees.
