National Museum and the Christianborg + Amalienborg Palaces are definitely worth it! I actually didn’t know there are day trips around Zealand. To be honest I think it’s prettier during warmer and brighter periods. I would choose the three above over that. By the way, if you’re interested in history, do go for the guided tour of the tapestries at Christianborg palace. It’s marvellous! http://www.christiansborgslot.dk/en/Gobelinerne.aspx

The pølse or hotdog at Nimb – I’m embarrassed to say but I haven’t tasted it yet. I have heard that it’s quite smothered with toppings. It’s not served in their restaurant but mainly a take away thing.

Saa Hvidt is closed. I have just removed it from my short list. The lunch place Restaurant Schønnemann has a great reputation http://www.restaurantschonnemann.dk/ – I still have to visit it but recommend you go.

Cheers, Clare
Just let me know if you need more/other info!

Well, I think you more or less have me convinced – it’s MR this time around. Sounds like it’s right up my alley, I can’t wait!

Your suggestions sound lovely. I’ll definitely visit the Louisiana Museum and take a walk in Nyhavn. I love art and history and all that kind of stuff. Was thinking of visiting the National Museum and the Christianborg/Amalienborg Palaces.. what do you reckon?

I’m also curious to know what you think of day trips.. I’ve heard that Zealand is full of beautiful country. Would this be a wise idea, considering I’ll be visiting in winter? How about a train out to Malmo?

For traditional Danish food.. I was thinking of Aamanns (as you suggested) and Saa Hvidt (also one of your favourites, I believe). I’ve also heard that the polse at Nimb’s is incredible, though expensive. I’m a bit confused by this: I know that polse is traditionally bought from the cart along the road.. but is the polse at Nimbs served in their restaurant? Or is it more of a take-away sort of thing? Any other traditional Danish foods/restaurants that I should know about?

Terribly sorry I’ve flooded you with questions! You don’t have to answer them all – I just got a little carried away there. Really appreciate you taking the time to read all this.

Cheers

Thanks for your kind comment.

Søllerød Kro is the lovely place where the whole setting, service and food is stuning.

MR is more innovation, creativity and courage. More daring than SK. Mads Refslund is Copenhagen’s Pierre Gagnaire

You’ll need to make the selection yourself.

Well, if you have just a tiny interest in art you should visit Louisiana Museum http://www.louisiana.dk/dk/Service+Menu+Right/English
If you like new architecture go with the metro to DR Byen and walk towards the IT University.

Other suggestions:
Danish Design http://www.ddc.dk/
Nyhavn – for a drink or a stroll
Wlk from Nyhavn along Bredgade to the and down to the Citadel. there is a beautiful view of the harbor from there.

Foodwise, you have to taste the Danish herrings and you do that best at Aamanns Etablissement http://www.aamanns.dk/restaurant/.

Let me know if there’s anything else you need!

Best,
Trine

Just wanted to say thanks for all your posts on Copenhagen. I’ll be in the area for 5 days in January, and you really helped to point me in the right direction regarding which restaurants to consider!

I already have a lunch reservation at noma, and am really excited about that. I also want to have another big meal, but I’m having a hard time deciding between Sollerod Kro and MR! Which would you recommend more?

Any suggestions for what else I shouldn’t miss in Copenhagen, food or otherwise? I’m a bit wary of visiting Copenhagen alone in January.

Thanks again!

Best,
Clare
