This is a big surprise given its location in a shopping center - but it's our favourite brunch spot! There's a big plate with a great selection of treats. If you can fit the cake, they will give you a box to take it away to enjoy later. You can walk it off afterwards in Frederiksberg Have, or cycle the green line starting across the street to see more neighbourhoods.

It's right near our apartment, and less popular for tourists than Frederiksberg Have. Check out the latest exhibition in the Cisterne, within the grounds of the park - old cisterns that have been transformed into an underground cave with art exhibitions that rotate every few months. 50kr entrance.

In English, this is called The Bicycle Snake! It's a really cool way to experience just how cycle-friendly this city is. It crosses the harbour - you'll pass by harbour baths and arrive on the other side to the trendy Islands Brygge which on summer days is always bustling.
