Without ever having been there I'm celebrating Copenhagen week. Great music coming from there currently.
Edit: Just saw Faust's new fascination with Monocle's city ranking, which usually has cities that are expensive and posh on top. Concerning music I am hopelessly romantic, thinking that in this environment a counter-culture can flourish, maybe that's why true post-punk sounds so great from there.Last edited by DRRRK; 08-22-2014, 09:20 AM.

papirøen ("paper island") is cool. henrik vibskov's workshop and cafe - "den plettede gris" (the spotted pig) are located there. i went back in april and he was there - very friendly guy.
christiana is interesting, although, may not be everyone's cup of tea.
as ahlefeldt mentioned, "storm" is a cool store. i was unfortunately there over easter weekend and a lot was closed.
would also recommend the louisiana museum (in humlebæk) and the danish design museum.

We’re still here and, for instance, had fantastic Dinner at the Kødbyens Fiskebar. You can watch some jellyfish in huge tanks while waiting.
More report to follow.

When I worked for Vestas I used to fly into Copenhagen often, it's one of my favorite cities. Luckily I was not spending my own money though, it is pretty expensive and the USD is not worth much these days. I remember being there for summer solstice, the whole city was up all night partying, which seems to be one of the things Danes do best...
I will share one of my favorite spots, Den Tatoverede Enke:
Some of the beer is much better here than after being subjected to shipping to the US. The food was amazing too.
I definitely miss my trips to Copenhagen!

Back home. What a beautiful trip (and city)!
For those who are into Olafur Eliasson, you can have an overdose there right now:
First, the River Bed exhibition in Louisiana Museum. It’s a half hour train ride from Copenhagen at the Baltic Sea Coast. The museum itself also currently displays a retrospective on Emil Nolde that we highly enjoyed also. But the River Bed really is a big thing —*they turned the interior outwards and built a lava field into the whole right wing of the Museum. Such a good experience.
Second, the Aros Museum in Århus (3 hours away by bus and ferry, for those who prefer boats over trains as much as I do) shows »Out of the Darkness« at the moment, which is basically a best-of of European contemporary art at the moment. It lasts until winter and shows Eliassons Atmospheric Color Room. I was never haunted that much in a museum. It’s mesmerizing. You are basically swallowing in all rainbow colors. Go there. Four years ago, I was in Berlin and couldn’t make it to his retrospective — and was blown away when I arrived at Aros and found the installation there in all it’s glory. So good, for real.
Third, Aros’ rooftop with the Rainbow Panorama architecture is open all year and a permanent addition to the museum building. Especially nice, though a bit kitschy at sunset (of course, the romantic Me went just then)
Apart from that, we were biking a lot (clearly the best way to experience CPH) and saw a lot of beautiful architecture. Some of Bjarke Ingels’ housing projects, for instance (Mountain Dwelling!), or the bicycle bridge across the harbour.
Since 5 Euro for a Capuccino are quiet common, I couldn’t indulge into my coffee love as much as in other places, but one can’t have everything.
For housing, I can recommend a beautiful room right in the City Center, rent by an elderly norwegian woman. Very clean, cozy, and pleasingly quiet (no TV!).
PM me for more information about that! 400 DKK a night (about 52 Euro) well invested.
