Fantastic indoor and outdoor market. A favourite of mine. One of the two indoor centers is full of food products and gift options like danish made liquor or sweets, the other is full of food stalls and tea/coffee shops. Amazing food and shopping experience, a must for a first time visit to Copenhagen in my opinion!

Many food options and beautiful natural park surroundings. A train from the city will take you there in about half an hour, and then you follow the crowd walking towards the park, 5-10 minutes from the station.
