Café Lindevang Copenhagen

Tradition since 1938

"You come for the tradition and the ambience, but just as importantly, you come for the good food. Nothing too fancy, but hearty and delicious."

If you don't know it's there, you might miss it. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but when you step inside you can marvel at all the details, like the old plates on the walls or the lead-framed stained-glass windows or even the good-humored banter between the waiters and the regulars - because this is a place that people keep coming back to. And this clearly is a place that holds on to their traditions. Allegedly, the head chef has been here for 30 years!

You come for the tradition and the ambience, but just as importantly, you come for the good food. Nothing too fancy, but hearty and delicious. There are not many vegetarian options, and vegan might be completely off the table, but for pescatarians and omnivores, the menu is great. I recommend visiting for lunch; try a traditional open-faced sandwich on rye bread and add snaps for the full Danish experience - the waiter can assist in pairing if the choices seem overwhelming.

You do need to make a reservation if you want to be sure there's a table for you, especially during winter when it's too cold to sit in the outside courtyard.

Bon appetit - or in Danish, Velbekomme!

Naturpark Amager

Nature within reach

"Naturpark Amager" in Copenhagen is an area of 3,000 acres of protected nature. It's quite unique for a capital to have such a reserve within city limits!

Airtrix Trampolinpark

Jump for joy

I’d recommend the 2-hour AirCombi, which will give you 1 hour of climbing and 1 hour of jumping – if you’re doing it right, you will be sweaty and wobbly.
