WHAT ELSE TO DO IN COPENHAGEN

THE KINTOBE GUIDE

Copenhagen is home to Kintobe and a constant source of inspiration for us. We love its independent shops, lively cafés and the mix of people who make each neighbourhood feel different.

In this guide we’ve gathered a few of our favourite things to do in Copenhagen, starting in Nørrebro, where you’ll find our store. Then we’ll take you beyond our neighbourhood to explore more of the city.

Whether you’re here for a Copenhagen weekend-trip or have called the city home for years, we hope you’ll discover something new to love. This is just a small selection of Copenhagen's hidden and not-so-hidden gems, but remember to leave some room to discover on your own.

02 BEYOND NØRREBRO

Explore Copenhagen

There’s plenty more to explore in Copenhagen - far more than we could fit into one guide. From places to visit and independent shops to cafés, restaurants and bars, we’ve picked a few favourites to help you discover more of the city we call home.

PLACES TO VISIT

Take in the views at Christiansborg

For a free view across Copenhagen, head up the tower at Christiansborg Palace, home to the Danish Parliament. You might have to queue at busy times, but the sweeping views over the city’s rooftops are worth the wait. Pair your visit with a stop inside Christiansborg Palace Chapel, just a short walk away. The chapel opens on selected days, so check its opening hours before you go.

Address: Christiansborg Slotpads, 1218 København

Discover Copenhagen’s wilder side at Sydhavntippen

Take a break from the city streets at Sydhavnstippen, where grassy paths lead towards the water and sheep and alpacas graze nearby. A quiet spot for a walk and some fresh air.

Take the M4 to Mozarts Plads and walk via Karens Minde, or cycle from City Hall in around 20 minutes.

Address: Sydhavnstippen, 2450 København SV

Explore Copenhagen at your own pace around Christianshavn

Some of our favourite moments in Copenhagen happen with no plans at all. Take a walk, look up at the architecture and see where the streets lead you. We especially love Christianshavn for its colourful houses, canals and little glimpses of everyday life by the water. Give yourself time to wander, you don’t need an itinerary for everything.

Address: Christianshavn, 1400 København K.

KIND SHOPPING

Shop inside a home at Rethink CPH

At Rethink CPH, you’re stepping into someone’s actual home. The couple behind this vintage shop in Østerbro live among the furniture, lamps and interior objects they sell, so you get to see each piece as part of everyday life. It’s an intimate, unusual way to go shopping in Copenhagen and a lovely reason to slow down, look around and have a chat.

Address: Rosendalsgade 16, 2100 København Ø. Check @rethinkcph for this week’s opening hours.

Get lost in a book at Thiemers

EAT, DRINK, GO OUT!

Find your flavor at Reffen

Head to Refshaleøen for street food by the Copenhagen waterfront. At Reffen, food stalls serve flavours from around the world among colourful containers and old industrial buildings.

A little garden lunch at Morgenstedet

Tucked away in Freetown of Christiania, Morgenstedet serves homemade vegetarian food made with organic ingredients. The menu takes inspiration from different cuisines, depending on who’s cooking.
