Penelope from Copenhagen

I go by the name of "Penelope Diamante" as a writer, as it is as international as I am...! I am though known with different names online - one being Penny D Photo, for my photography- and my digital footprint is now impossible to erase!

Callisens Café Copenhagen

Cute neighborhood café

"Callisens Café in Copenhagen’s 'Greek quarter' is a cozy, local spot with delicious brunch, coffee and a lovely outdoor area."

Callisens Café in the 'Greek quarter' as they call this area of Amager, Copenhagen due to the Greek street names, is a small, cute, very local, quite hidden – as it is not on the main street – but still welcoming and with great light when sunny neighborhood café, which includes an outdoor area almost as big as the indoor, if not bigger! When the sun hits, that part is truly amazing!

It recently initiated brunch, with a choice of 3, 5 or 7 dishes, and has one of the best cappuccinos and cakes! Although it has a strict "Limited computer use policy", which limits a bit where you can sit and for how long without ordering extras (it is written next to the cashier), it has great personnel and customers, lots of smiley faces and a very homey atmosphere!

And since online booking is indeed available, better use the service if you are heading there!

Lersøparken

Plenty of space

What's especially great about this patch of nature is the huge grass lawn. A lot of people come here to play soccer, frisbee or to walk their dogs.

Tutten

As Danish as it gets

"Tutten" in Copenhagen has probably the best smørrebrød in town. Some of the city's restaurants are good but nothing comes close. A truly Danish experience

Prag

Add glamour to your life

"Prag" Copenhagen is a shop where you can get custom-made jewellery and second-hand clothes, but it's my favorite place to shop for tights!

Amager Records

Music on vinyl

"Amager Records" is my favorite record store on my island in Copenhagen. Small and cramped as it should be, the super-helpful owners are also jazz fans!
