Guidebook for København
Food Scene
Located inside a small but very pretty park close to the city center Café Hacienda is a secret outdoor gem with a very local and relaxed atmosphere. One of my favorite places to meet with friends for a coffee after work, to work or just hang out on a sunny day.

Sightseeing
If you haven't already heard about the free town of Christiania you will be amazed to discover this absolutely unique village inside Copenhagen. It's a self-proclaimed autonomous neighborhood of about 850 residents, covering 34 hectares (84 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn. There is a lot of things to see or do in Christiania (koncert venues, restaurants, bars and if you cross the bridge that connects the main part of Christiania with 'Dyssen' the less known and touristic part you'll discover a country style idyllic scenery with the most amazing selfmade houses. You wont believe that you are actually in a capital city. Christiania is absolutely a MUST see when you visit Copenhagen.

Drinks & Nightlife
Mentioned by several guides as one of the worlds best bars this glam cocktail joint is housed in a beautiful old apartment building. The unmarked door makes it hard to find but it's well worth the effort.

Café Intime is original in every way. Here you will meet an interesting mix of personalities, artist, and just friendly fun loving people. They often have a piano player and people that spontaneously get up and perform a song or two. A very friendly atmosphere where you are sure to meet new friends. However it is one of the few places where you can still smoke and the smoke can be a challenge even for a smoker.

Palæ Bar is an old fashioned bar in the city center with a jazzy atmosphere and lots of curious decorating details. It's the kind of place where it okay to go if you are on your own because it's so easy to start a conversation with a stranger or suddenly find your self included in a company of cheerful people. It's a hangout for journalists, jazz musicians, politicians and other personalities.

The different neighborhoods of Copenhagen each have their charm, yet there’s something extraordinary about the waterfronts. If you can find Kayak Bar under the bridge by Christiansborg Palace you’re undoubtedly in for a real treat!

Micro breweries for local beers has been the big thing in Denmark for some time now. The Mikkeller brothers are some of the front runners and their bar Mikkeller is a magnet for beer lovers (Oddly enough I don't really have a taste for beer som I am not qualified for reviewing their beers :)

While Mikkeller bar is the new hot spot for beer lovers, the 100 years old Vinstue 90 has a long lasting reputation for the best draft beer in town. I don't know if the reputation holds true, but if you want some history and local atmosphere you should definitely pop by Vinstue 90.

This Vesterbro watering-hole attracts locals as well as a city-wide clientele, even the odd celeb. Riesen Bar has a large selection of music that is updated regularly. Every Wednesday, you can play your own music, so if you have that special 80s album, why not bring it along and ruin everyone's evening. Consider sharing a traditional 'kande' (pitcher) with your friends. Cheaper and so much easier. A 'kande' contains schnapps, porter beer, lemonade etc.

While the pedestrian shopping street 'Strøget' is a bit of a tourist trap it's next door neighbor the area around Larsbjørnsstræde - is the bohemian and artistic 'village', inside the city center. It has alway attracted artist, musicians, intellectuals and other personalities from all over the world and at the same time it has a very local vibe. If you look for bars and cafes check out 'The log lady', 'Bar 7' or 'Floss' (a notorious hang out for punks and rock musicians in the 80's). Here you find lots of curious shops in many categories. If you get hungry I warmly recommend Atlas Bar or L'education Nationale (although it's been a while since I was there).

Another vibrant area/street you just have to visit if you like a bohemian atmosphere. Lots of curious shops, Ice Cream, restaurants and personalities. Some of the great bars/cafes here are the wine bar 'Bibendum', 'Bankeråt' and 'Kalaset' (with a nice brunch). Close to Cafe Hacienda in Ørstedsparken which I have also recommended in this guide and also close to 'Torvehallerne' which you definitely also have to check out.

Next to my own neighborhood I have to say that I have a soft spot for Ravnsborggade in the district of Nørrebro and the surrounding area (Sct. Hans Torv, Sortedamsdossering, Guldbergsgade, Elmegade, Blågårdsgade and Assistens Kirkegård). It's truly urban, cool and diverse - and young! Strongly influenced by the university campus around Nørre Alle´. Urban streetlife/streetstyle, tons of artsy shops, vintage, funky shops, cafes and bars. Its a fifteen minutes walk by the lakes away from my flat.... :-)
