Guidebook for København
Drinks & Nightlife
A hidden gem just at the waterfront away from the crowds. Amazing view and sunset. Nice wine and a couple of dishes that changes daily. You can go just for coffee or a glass of wine.
There is also a new bar called baby baby around the corner out on the mole. Amazing location. My new favorite place.

Parks & Nature
Volden.
Best place to relax and enjoy nature - only a few meters from our place.
Christianshavns Ramparts form a playground for children and a place to enjoy long runs. The old bastions and paths along the moat also make a great walking route. There have been trees and shrubs here since the fortifications were built in the 1600s, and out on the moat live coots, moorhens, grebes and swans.

One of my favorite streets of Copehagen. The perfect place browsing art galleries and vintage shops, grabbing coffee, or brunching at sidewalk tables. Has just been featured in Vogue. It says:
"All of the Coolest Spots in Copenhagen Are on This Street"
"Pretty much every boutique on the block is worth a peek".

The line can be long so make an reservation. You pay per hour.

A must see.
Be aware that cameras are not popular at Christiana, particularly in Pusher Street.
I recommend you walk along the nice lake and look at some interesting houses/architecture. The map is not accurate. You have to move a little further down Prinsessegade or by the lake to get to the main area of Christiana.
