Food Scene
Awesome little café/bar with a nice atmosphere. Owned by an American guy who offers great hospitality. It's not unusual to spot stars from Danish TV series "Borgen" or "The Killing" (Afbrydelsen).

Danish Architecture Centre - I'm fascinated by urban design so I love this place. Check out their exhibitions on the web or just visit to grab a coffee in their harbour-facing glass room :)

This is one of the best preserved star fortresses in Northern Europe. It is constructed in the form of a pentagram with bastions at its corners. Beautiful place for a walk by the water.

I really like the new aquarium at Kastrup. If it's a rainy day then the short journey on the metro is worth it. Admission, opening hours etc can be found at: http://www.denblaaplanet.dk/

In my opinion no visit to Copenhagen is complete without a trip to Louisiana. Beautiful as much for it's architecture and location as for it's wonderful exhibitions. Check: http://en.louisiana.dk/
