If you love Danish Design, minimalist food, and the best shopping of your life, then Copenhagen must drop into your travel bucket list. I took this particular trip with a group of girlfriends. It was ideal for a group of women, in the sense that we felt safe and our focus was shopping, eating, and sightseeing. We traveled in September. The flights were reasonable, the crowds were slim, and the weather was brisk but not unbearable.
Our airline tickets were very reasonable, took a taxi from the airport to our Airbnb , and biked the rest of the trip, in exception of one train ride. Copenhagen has more bikes than people, in the small country of Denmark. My girlfriends and I committed to five days of cycling for our mode of transportation.
It is a quaint sized city, so we knew we could bike to anything from our Airbnb. It was very helpful that the four of us did our travel research before our visit to Copenhagen. Proper planning ahead of time, allowed for us to make the most of our time on the trip. Each morning we would plan our day over coffee, mapping out our wishes and wants for the day. It was time saving to Google map our bike route prior, and just assume we would find some unexpected gems throughout the day.
Do make sure you ask for night bike lights and a lock, if not included in the bike package. We used Godthabs Cykler Nr 3. He gave us the best service and price. We also felt very safe riding our bikes at night, crime in Copenhagen is very low.
The food in Copenhagen is stunning. If you opt to not break the bank, we adored Aamann for a lunch experience Michelin award winner. They offer a Smorebread tasting tour, it is the traditional Scandinavian open-faced sandwich. Reffen and the Bridge Street Kitchen both overlook the harbor. All three of the markets use local produce, have urban style settings, lots of options, as well as amazing and unique drinks.
