If you haven’t been to Copenhagen, you need to go. And when you go, you need to stay at the D’Angleterre hotel.
So what’s so great about Copenhagen? The food, the architecture, the bicycle culture, the shopping, the style, the history, the people…all of it. But mainly, it’s the food.
They take it very seriously there. Their cuisine is fresh, local, avant garde, elevated. I am by no means a foodie, but it doesn’t take a restaurant critic to quickly realize that the food in Copenhagen is not only different, it’s better.
From the famous restaurants (there are many) to the local neighborhood spots, you will be hard pressed to find a meal that isn’t not only delicious, but inspiring, in this great city.
So go for the food. But also go to stay at the D’Angleterre. It is luxurious and cozy and perfectly situated near shops, restaurants and sights. Be sure to check out the spa located at the bottom floor of the hotel – the pool alone is worth a visit.
Don’t miss shopping for the most beautiful porcelain at Royal Copenhagen, a bike tour around the city (biking is a major thing in Copenhagen, interesting story here) lunch at Victor (champagne + oysters), dinner at Pluto, Tivoli Gardens (especially the roller coaster and swings), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and Schackenborg Castle.
And if you dare, go here for an eye-opening experience.
Lastly, my favorite world traveler and foodie, Phil Rosenthal, makes a stop in Copenhagen on his great show Somebody Feed Phil.
Also, they have Royals!
