SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst

Bring plastic waste to the National Gallery of Denmark and turn it into artistic memories at a workshop.

Bring your plastic garbage to the gallery's workshop and turn it into an artistic memory of Copenhagen.

von Bartha, Copenhagen

This is a wonderful place to spend the afternoon exploring. I recommended ducking in for a visit.

SURT

The menu revolves around the tasteful sourdough pizzas. All made with no industrial yeast, but solemnly relying on the natural process of the sourdough.

Københavns Bageri

An iconic establishment and the perfect place to grab a Danish pastry.

Superkilen Park

If you’re feeling up for it, rent a bike and take a spin! Superkilen is a vibrant recreational space with skateboard spots, swings and chess tables. This is a wonderfully instagrammable space!

Sydhavnstippen

Sydhavnstippen - or simply Tippen in everyday speech, is a scenic area in Sydhavnen, created from landfilled construction waste and surplus soil. Since 1973, the area has more or less been a tribute to biodiversity and has largely looked after itself. Across the many hectares of land, flora and fauna, there are no limits to what you can find. In addition to the biodiverse plant and animal life that has naturally evolved, it is also possible to see mohair goats and alpacas being looked after by professionals. It will always be a fun and exciting trip to Sydhavnstippen, regardless of the season, wind and weather.

Coffee Collective Bernikow

Another great place to grab a pastry and a coffee!

Mad & Kaffe

Looking for more coffee? Hit up Mad and Kaffe for their delicious assortment of treats and caffinated beverages.

Kayak Republic

Rent a kayak at Kayak Republic and then after, head to Kayak Bar for your CopenPay reward. If you arrive by bike or metro, you’ll be provided with a free cup of coffee! If you have travelled to Kayak Bar by bike or Metro and rented a kayak at Kayak Republic bw. Mon- and Friday, then we’d like to reward your green action with a free cup of filter coffee before or after your kayak tour. Located in historic canal side settings, under the iconic Knippelsbro in inner Copenhagen, Kayak Bar is not only a super cozy dockside restaurant, bar and music venue for people of all ages and backgrounds – but also the perfect place to start exploring Copenhagen’s cool and clean harbour from the water!

National Museum of Denmark

Either bike or take public transportation to The National Museum. Show your public transport ticket or a picture of you and your bike at the museum to get a free 'Denmark' ice cream. Made from local rhubarb, strawberry, and licorice, this ice cream is a true symbol of Danish summer, crafted by Hansen Is with a focus on sustainability and quality. Then, walk to museum and explore Danish history, from the Viking Age to the welfare state's development, and discover how past prophecies might inform our lives today.

Banegaarden

BaneGaarden, Copenhagen's latest green food and culture stop, offers a homemade organic dish from its food stalls in exchange for a bag of collected trash in the local neighborhood. Get a bag for collecting trash and a cool map of the area to enjoy the local attractions at the same time. Your work is rewarded with a delicious free organic meal.

Head to ØsterGRO, the first Danish rooftop farm located in the heart of Copenhagen, for dinnner.
