Nestled just north of the city, Dyrehaven is a vast, surreal landscape of meadows, castles, and gnarled fairy-tale like forests — Inhabited by a seemingly infinite population of wild deer. Lovely for runs, strolls, woodland adventures, and the like.

Jægersborggade is one of Copenhagen cosiest streets. Here you can find everything from designer clothing, art, nice coffee, food and homemade sweets.

Great cocktails and with vinyl selectors playing rarities on weekends... acoustics is impeccable.

Great little chocolate shop that features sweets and cakes with a different take on chocolate. It's part of the Summerbird chain of small chocolate shops, but this one is the "Pure" shop and is dedicated to experiment with flavours and try out new recipes before they are launched in the whole chain. Every month the shop creates a new "flødebolle"(cream bun) based on the time of year and what's available from nature in a limited batch. I'm hooked and need to go there at least once a month.

As the name implies, the Paper Island was home to a large paper warehouse for the newspaper production. Today, the island has been transformed into modern buildings, designed by the Danish architectural firm Cobe and the spectacular water culture house and harbor bath are designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma  Photo: © Ture Andersen
