A wee trip to Copenhagen, Part 2

Stilleben
Dedicated to ceramics and glassware, this bijou boutique has a strong emphasis on Danish design, representing around 30 local designers. If Royal Copenhagen china isn’t quite your thing, you’ll find plenty of gorgeous alternatives here. I love this rather organic collection of coloured vases - so very pretty.

A trip to Copenhagen isn't really complete without sampling smorrebord (Danish open sandwiches), and nobody does them better than the legendary Ida Davidsen. Offering a mind-boggling 250 different types of open sandwiches, it's a cosy little restaurant to stop and refuel.

Christiania

Home to a hippy community since the early 70s, Christiania is an autonomous neighbourhood just south of the city. Tourists are welcome to walk around and take in the markets, street art, galleries and vegetarian cafes (not to mention the heady whiff of weed in the air). I took these pics just outside the ‘no photography’ zone.

Row upon row of fresh pastries and cakes line the shelves of this perfect Danish bakery, which is just past the bridge of a pretty canal. It’s all rather overwhelming, but trade is brisk on the weekends so you will have plenty of time to mull over your purchases. If it all proves too much, just point at the nearest, plumpest, juiciest Danish (the pastry, not a person).

Tweet tweet! I love reading all your comments - thanks so much for stopping by.

OK...I'm reading to visit Copenhagen again!

I have never seen this side of Copenhagen. I lived there for 6 months at the end of the 90s, and it was the most workaholic stage of my live, ever.

Then all of a sudden I was pregnant, suffering with the cold and the morning sickness and we moved. Just like that. I never got to experience the beauty of the city, its personality, the fun side.

I have been feeling like I should change that, and after seeing your photos... I really have to! That's it, I'm scheduling a trip to Copenhagen!

I am going to look into a trip to Copenhagen, what is the best way of getting there?

i've been dying to visit copenhagen, and now i'm even more resolute to take a little trip there, although because i'm coming from chicago, it's not so little. thanks for sharing!

Never been to Copenhagen but you make it very appealing. I used to have Danish friends. I miss their smorrebrods!

Those cakes & pastries look amazing. Worth the wait I'd say.

Good Lord, I think I may need to pop into Ida Davidsen and eat what you ate! They sound absolutely delicious.

Have a super day,
