Cool decor and nice people. I order classic cocktails which they happily make though they are off menu. The bartenders are skilled but tend to experiment a little too much for my taste.

Green area
Maybe the nicest garden in town. Do it as part of a trip where you go from Søndermarken to the maze to Haveselskabets Have to Frederiksberg Have. It’s free! From Fredirksberg Have you can walk down the avenue Frederiksberg Allé and take a break at one of the cafés og restaurants there before heading home.

The park in front of the apartment houses lots of activities. You can play petanque, basket or football and there is a nice playground. There are tables where you can barbecue and in the winter there is iceskating.
The park was originally laid out by famous architect Arne Jacobsen as his first big assignment after finishing the School of Architecture. I love the dome he made in front of the bedroom window. It is a small music scene but rarely used.

Most danes regard Nyhavn as a tourist trap, but I grew up around the corner and I think Cap Horn is one of the good places. Maybe don’t go on the weekends.
