Local Secrets in Copenhagen

There is so much to see and experience in Copenhagen that it can be a challenge to choose from all the options available. That is where we come in! Our tour guides have all the local secrets but if you don't get the chance to get them directly on our tours, we'll give you a little sneakpeek here!

Our favorite secret spot in the city is the Royal Library Garden, hidden between the Royal Library, the Tøjhus Museum, ChristianIV's Supply Depot and Christiansborg Palace. The garden has been known for being one of the most tranquil spots around the city center. So, if you want some peace and quiet, away from the noise and the busy city life, this is the place to go.

Freetown Christiania, also known as Christiania, is a community of about 850 to 1,000 residents. Christiania is a mix of homemade houses, workshops, art galleries, music venues, cheap and organic eateries, and beautiful nature. However, it is still a society within a society but the area is open to the public.

​Manfreds is a favorite among locals as it emphasises on 'farm-to-table'. Which means that every day they offer harvest fresh vegetables from the farm and they are served on the same day. As fresh as it can be! 

Smørrebrød is a traditional open-faced sandwich that usually consists of a piece of buttered rye bread topped with commercial or homemade cold cuts, pieces of meat or fish, cheese or spreads, and garnishes. 

The Copenhagen Harbour Baths are a system of recreational bathing facilities along the waterfront. The first and best-known is located at Islands Brygge but we also recommend Havnebadet Fisketorvet. Jump in for a cold swim!

If you want to get the best possible view of the city and the best photo you should head to Tårnet, the tower of Christiansborg Palace, as you will be able to see Copenhagen from a completely new angle. This is Copenhagen’s highest tower and a visit is free of charge and it is open every day (except Mondays).

If you are visiting Copenhagen and get a chance to try any of these recommendations, please let us know how it went. We love to hear what people think of our recommendations and even suggest other stuff. One man's secret is another man's treasure, right?!?
