Lagkagehuset is a little pricey, but known in Copenhagen as one of the best bakeries in town. I recommend the 'Direktørsneglen' for an authentic taste of Danish pastries.

Getting Around
The metro will take you directly into town – only one or two stops (Kongens Nytorv or Nørreport) depending on where you’re going. If the sun is shining, it’s also a nice walk (about 20 mins) that will take you over the bridge past Copenhagen Harbor, The Parliament (Folketinget) and the old Stock Exchange. If you just follow the road across the bridge, it’ll take you straight to the main shopping district called Strøget.
