I can vouch for this shop, Marten is a mensch and has tons of goodies!

For anyone going later this summer the DJ/music line up at Reffen looks great. Nu Genea live on Aug 13th. Food looks banging too.
Yeah we made it there. Wicked spot. Arrive like James Bond on the water boat over

Off the Copenhagen in mid March as my gf has a film being premiered at CPH:DOX 25. Looking to got 19th - 26th March.
No longer buy vinyl, so not too fussed about record shops, but food recommendations, clothes & culture mainly.
Cheers 
Hey Disco - Born and bred in Copenhagen. Still here with no plans to move so far
For food: depends on what you prefer. NĂžrrebro is the key to the most exiting restaurants. I like wine so i like to go to Terroiristen, Gaarden og Gaden, Calma and especially Silberbauers bistro in NĂžrrebro. I live in the Vesterbro neighborhood which has an abundance of good places as well. Jah Izakaya, Osteria 16 and Resto Bar to name a few.
Clothes: Norse Projects. Great danish brand with a lot of good imported goods as well. Kyoto in Vesterbro is great as well.
Culture: CPH:DOX25 i guess. Always good selection but thats a given. Copenhagen Contemporary is an amazing art hall. The articifial island is located at is a visit worth as well. Nikolaj Kunsthal is often overlooked but has amazing exhibitions. Charlottenborg Kunsthal as well. Also, it sounds like a tourist trap but taking the public ferry around the inner harbour is the most sublime way to see the city. Avoid Nyhavn but dont avoid KĂžbmagergade and some of the other most touristy areas. Theres a lot of history you would miss. Especially the architecture. Frederiksberg Have to see a nice, old royal park. Stroll around Gl. Kongevej, see people desperately looking for sunshine after a long, dark winter.
Enjoy! feel free to write for more tips.

Excellent, thank you. We will be checking a lot of whatâs on at CPH:DOX25.
Norse Projects will also be a must of course. I have inherited a love of SĂžren Kierkegaard from my Dad, so would like to one of the walking tours.
Any tips on good places to stay would be gratefully appreciated. Prefer quirky/character over expensive luxury.
My gf film is having itâs premier on the 20th, so looking at going from the 19th to 24th/25th.
Thanks again for the great info 
Thanks for all the good recommendations! Just landed back in sunny Edinburgh after a lovely, though too short, trip.
Such a beautiful city. Lots of good documentaries watched in various cinemas/venues throughout the city, some great food and drinks and a few touristy things, including a flying visit with lunch In Malmö.

Also caught a good exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art on Ocean that had a wee mention of Drexciya.

âCopenhagen, good for the soul, bad for the walletâ
A lovely Swedish chaps said to me, it was indeed true.
I had 5 days in Copenhagen in April, what an incredible trip.
Iâve totally fallen for the city and canât wait to go back (hopefully as soon as September).
The record shops I checked out were amazing, though I was right on my Ryanair weight limit and too scared to buy anything that might tip me over! Iâd been travelling around Germany for 9 days beforehand, so my case was already crammed with clothes. That turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise, I only spent half a day digging through records, which meant I had more time to actually explore the city instead of just flipping through crates.
If anyone wants a list of the record shops, just drop me a message. A local sent me his favourites, and they were spot on.
I will shout out one place, though, itâs not technically a record shop, but an interiors store that sells vinyl Mother Interiors . Amazing selection, and Christian dâOr, who runs it, is an absolute gem, super friendly, deeply knowledgeable about the kind of music this forum loves, and a great DJ too. I caught one of his bar sets and it was genuinely an education.
Copenhagen is totally walkable, though I definitely overdid it a bit. I probably couldâve squeezed in more if Iâd used the public transport more (which is excellent), but I discovered so much just wandering that Iâd still do a lot on foot next time.
Quick-fire round of stuff I loved:
- The Cisterns in SĂžndermarken â underground gallery space, very cool.
- Bird cocktail bar and their second venue (I think itâs called Bird Coffee) â both super Testpressing-friendly vibes, heard some excellent DJs in both.
- The Little Mermaid â yes, I know itâs a full tourist clichĂ©, but I loved it. Beautiful spring day, walked from Vesterbrogade to the statue (took a bit over an hour), then on to the much lesser-spotted Genetically Modified Mermaidânot a tourist in sight, and worth the extra distance (even if my feet werenât thanking me).
- MĂŠrsk Tower â free viewing platform with a great perspective on part of the city. Totally worth checking out.
For coffee and treats, my go-tos were Hart Bageri, Orsa Coffee, and Beat CafĂ© (which has a great secondhand record shop in the basement). They were all in or near Vesterbrogade, where I was stayingâand honestly, I couldâve just chilled in that neighbourhood the whole time.
Since getting back, I canât stop thinking about the placeâit really was magical.
I also did a day trip to Malmö, which I really enjoyed. Mainly went to see the Turning Torso (Iâm obsessed with that building) and visited the viewing area for the Ăresund Bridge. One day in Malmö is probably enough, but Iâll go backâpartly because I found a place that did absolutely incredible meatballs.

Malmö also has an incredible sauna. Thatâs worth a visit. Super old school.
