What to do in Copenhagen?

tott · 27-05-2005

I'll spend a day and a half in Copenhagen next week, and I was just wondering if anyone has any tips about shopping, eating or fun stuff in general in Copenhagen?

Hanne · 27-05-2005

Tott what are your interests? clothes? there's the guerilla store.. culture ? good places eat ? people watching?

Let me know and I'll try and compile a list of things I think you might enjoy.

Thanks!

liberty33r1b · 27-05-2005

wow, this all sounds really good. i've long considered going there for a few days, and i think i will finally do so now, this summer......!

Hanne · 28-05-2005

I'll get back to you on some shopping links tott..unfortunately the aok.dk doesn't have shopping links in their english language section.

Word of advice..if you go to guerilla..and the weather is great..this is a part of town with the new harbour front. The harbour bassin has just opend, so bring you bathing gear if you can handle the not so warm water...great place for people watching as well.

Another thing for 20kr (approx. 2£) you can borrow a city bike : http://www.woco.dk/composite-378.htm ..a great way to get around..especially since busses can be confusing and taxis rather expensive (the bike even has a map of town attached to the handle)

Hanne · 28-05-2005

I had this restaurant map made for another visitor..the restaurants are the once I mentioned above

I added the location of the guerilla store (bottom of the map)

tott · 28-05-2005

Hanne, you're so sweet! Just one thing, I don't have a problem with Danish. I'm Swedish, and I've had Danish colleagues.

Hanne · 29-05-2005

oooohh my bad..then you can just check out the shopping section on www.aok.dk

Nørrebro has some interesting store around Elmegade, Birkegade
there's Aftur on Ahornsgade http://www.aok.dk/profile/26686, Blågårdsgade, Skt Hans Plads .

Hanne · 29-05-2005

If there are any particular label you are looking for maybe I'll know which stores carry them..so just ask away

tott · 29-05-2005

Thanks, but no; you've been really helpful. Thanks again!

Hanne · 29-05-2005

Inner city..w. strøget.. I plotted in a couple of stores that have great mens wear

Storm - Store Regnegade 1
Paris/Texas - Kronprinsensgade
Mensch - Peder Hvitfeldts Stræde 4
Birger Christensen - Østergade 38

The Latin Quarter in the left side of the map is a really nice area as well..and if the weather is good you should drop by Kongens Have (just north of Gothersgade (highlighted in pink) )

I'm going on holiday in Copenhagen for a week on August with my friends. None of us has visited Denmark before so I would like some tips on best shopping places. Some of us are still students so any info from good budget shopping places to high-end stores would be apperiaceted

Also, are there already sales on beginning of August? Are there any decent outlets?

Thanks!

Hanne · 19-06-2005

Hi Niisku,

There allready exists a thread on Copenhagen..I'll merge

The existing thread is more on mens fashion and places to eat but I'll add some stuff that might interest you and your friend. ( be patient please because I'm not going to be able to do it untill tuesday

)
..are you finnish or japanese? (I'm guessing based on your name

)

As for sales in August :

There are some.
Nørregaard på Strøget (danish and quiet nice..has some international labels in the store besides its own label)
Mulberry - on the 27th and only on the 27th
Gucci - It's in august..but its not certain that they'll have a sale this year
Fishbone - date in august not set yet
Mensch - date not set yet
Stilleben - danish design (interio) beginning of august
Golddigger - date not set yet

When you get closer to your departure date send me a PM and I'll see if I can't provide you with a better list
