Day 1

Apotek 57
If you’re wanting a charming cafe to kick off your trip, this is the one. Not only is the inside adorably curated with hand-made dishes and stunning pastries, but the food is just as gorgeous. I highly recommend the house-made rhubarb and hibiscus soda!

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
Art lovers, you NEED to add this stop to your list. With an incredible indoor garden, a massive gallery, and stunning architecture, this is the type of place I could spend all day at if I had the time.

Private Copenhagen walking tour
Biking can be fun, but I also recommend taking time to walk and explore Copenhagen! With the Copenpay initiative, we were connected with a local ambassador who took us on a tour of Amager Strandpark (the perfect place to spend a summer day), and it definitely taught us more about Copenhagen!

25hours Hotel Indre By
Free coffee with a purchase in exchange for showing up on a bike or foot?! YES PLEASE! Make sure to add this Copenpay stop to your list (the Assembly Bar in’s side is also eclectically decorated and fun to spend time in… you might just find some surprises).

OMAR
Indulge in their set dinner, or try a variety of appetizers from their menu! We shared the spiced squid over cocktails, and I think I’ll be thinking wanting to return to this place until I come again.

Day 2

Københavns Bageri
Because the best way to start your day is with a fresh Danish pastry 🥐
See More
SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst
Art lovers, this one is for you (I could have spent all day there ). SMK Museum has an impressive gallery of art from a variety of time periods. Not only is the art itself impressive, but the building itself is gorgeously constructed, making it almost a maze that you enjoy getting lost in. Highly recommend spending a few hours here at least!

The Foodie Tour of Copenhagen
I’ve heard amazing things about The Foodie Tour of Copenhagen — all the local flavors, hidden gems, and cozy spots you wouldn’t find on your own. Definitely on my list for next time! 🍴✨

H.U.G Bageri
After SMK Museum, pop over to the nearby H.U.G Bagerie for some of the best gluten-free goodies you might just ever have. I tried 6 different things here (because I was honestly BLOWN AWAY by the variety and how good everything was), and the cinnamon bun was so good it literally made me cry. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Resto Bar
Looking for a lunch made with fresh ingredients and the ambiance of the cute neighbourhood of Nørrebero? Resto Bar is the stop for you!

Kalvebod Brygge
If the sun is out, you’ll find people tanning, enjoying a leisurely stroll along the harbour, or hanging out here! This is also a place you can help stay clean by taking part in the Nordic Ocean Watch Copenpay initiative! 💕🙌🏼

Spectrum Wellness
Spa days are nice, but they’re even nice when they’re free 🤭 after cleaning up the harbour in a Copenpay initiative, indulge in a luxurious wellness session at Spectrum Wellness.
See More
Folkehuset Absalon
If you’re looking to connect with locals, make friends, and also enjoy a delicious meal, make sure you stop by Absalon! Here, the dinners are family-style, the people are welcoming, and you’re bound to leave with new friendships and a full belly!

Day 3

Alice
After exploding the streets of Amager, stop by here for a coffee or treat ☕️

Copenhagen Contemporary
Worth the visit! This gallery is different from the other museums on the itinerary in the sense that it contains fully immersive viewing experiences, that enlighten all five senses! From monsters to “soft-robotics
See More
Reffen - Skøjteøen
This is the biggest street food market in the Nordic region, and I’d personally say it’s a MUST-VISIT during your stay in Copenhagen! Here you can find a variety of cuisines, and enjoy them beside the water as you bask in the sun. If you’re more of an indoor person, there’s plenty of indoor space for seating too!
See More
Meatpacking District, Copenhagen
Grab Ice-Cream at Ismageriet, or coffee and a pastry at one of the many cafes! This area is vibrant with people coming to sit out on the patios, socialize, and have a bite to eat!
See More
Langelinie
Home of the famous “Little Mermaid” and an adorable place to bike along the coast!

Bicycle Rental Copenhagen City Center
Tried renting a bike in Copenhagen and it gave me so much freedom and fun exploring at your own pace. Perfect for anyone wanting to feel like a local for a day 🚲

Langelinieskurets Vinbar
Grab a glass (or bottle) of wine, and enjoy it in the shop, or head upstairs for a game of rooftop pétanque!

Pico Pizza Nørrebro
If you’re wanting gluten free pizza, this is the place for you! They specialize in gluten free mini pizzas, that are so good you can’t have just one.
See More
SURT
If you’re not restricted by a gluten free diet, Surt is an award winning place to grab a bite to eat. Their sour-dough pizza crust is thin, crispy, and iconic. Paired with a glass of orange wine, this makes the perfect place for a romantic date-night (or simply just a great place to have a dinner).
