Copenhagen is the number one destination in Scandinavia for design-, fashion- and food-lovers.
Here you can both shop and eat until you drop, or just walk around in the plentiful and wonderful city and enjoy everything at you own pace and preference.
Denmark has always been groundbreaking and cutting-edge when it comes to design, most famous for its minimalism, but now, they also have the first mover lead on food and restaurants. No-where else can you find as many high-quality and breathtaking restaurants when it comes to the Scandinavian pure and simple kitchen. With Noma as the pioneer, the other ones are doing a great job not just copying, but finding their own path based on what the chefs loves to create and the customers long to eat.
The restaurants I have enjoyed the most in Copenhagen were Geranium, Noma, Manfreds & Vin, 108, LêLê, Höst, MêLée, Radio and Skovshoved Kro.
Finding the right hotel in Copenhagen is not an easy task. Compared to other great cities, I don´t think the selection is that great. But hopefully, depending on where you want to stay and what design you prefer, you will end up at a great spot. I have visited two of Guldsmedens hotels, Axel and Bertrams, Hotel Denmark, Ibsens Hotel and the Skt Petri Hotel. But my top two favorite hotels are Sanders and Herman K.
