Beautiful lake with a nice walking/running/biking path around. Great for a morning run, or just a relaxed trip with the family. There is an ice-cream shop on the north side of the lake just at the water.

Great bakery. Try the "Kernespeltbrød" or the carrot-cake. Worth a visit (on a daily basis :)). Consider bringing cake and coffee to the Lindevang Park across the street to enjoy in nature.

Very local restaurant serving danish dishes like the famous "Smørrebrød" and other traditional dishes. It is known for its cozyness and local feeling - expect local dining but not a gourmet experience.

One of the best Sushi-dining experiences in Denmark with nice food and a great view from the top of the Tivoli Congress center. Make sure you do cocktails in their sofa-swings after eating - is nice :) Book well in advance!

Entertainment & Activities
Copenhagen Zoo is a wonderful place to visit. I enjoy the tunnel with the Polar-bears where you can see swim above you, the tropical house as well as the Sawannah with giraffes and gazelles. Also - they have a nice goat petting zoo for the small ones.
