24 Hour Guide To Copenhagen

La Banchina

Getting to Copenhagen felt easier than recent journeys I’ve taken to Cornwall. A 1.5 hour flight/ nap from London followed by a 20 minute metro into the city centre straight from Copenhagen airport. With well kept parks, open water and cool coffee shops on every corner, you land with a peaceful bang.

Head to ø12 coffee and eatery to refuel with an indulgent pancake brunch. It’s not hard to find excellent coffee in Copenhagen but this spot in a cute location and the pancakes are to die for. If it’s sunny, sit outside on the street under a heater and watch the world go by.

Now energised, I'd recommend heading slightly in the opposite direction from the main town to a street called Jægersborggade (don't ask me to pronounce this). This is in an area called Norrebro where I often see the scandi girls on my insta feed hanging out. It's full of boutiquey arty shops, curated second hand concept stores, delis, sake bars, wine bars and of course coffee shops. There's so many spots to sit in the window and people watch. One of my personal favourite past times.

In the afternoon, I'd recommend hiring a bike and cycling over to La Banchina. Basically a pocket of heaven on earth. Sit by the water with a natural wine, homemade bread and fresh fish. Be brave and take a dip then heat up in their sauna before dunking a danish bun in a hot filter coffee and watching the sun set.

If I only had one night in Copenhagen then I'd always head to the Meatpacking District. From pizza at Mother to Mexican at Hija de Sanchez to fish at Kodbyens Fiskebar you'll be spoilt for choice and it doesn't really matter where you end up there as the vibe is relaxed, local and feel good.

We love staying at the SP34, with small but minimal chic rooms and a free wine hour between 5-6pm. What more do you need.
