Restaurant Sundby Sejl Copenhagen

Lunch and sailboats

Cindy from Copenhagen

About me I moved to Copenhagen when I was nineteen, and except for a year in Sweden, I have lived here ever since. Now I am resident of Amager; a part of Copenhagen that is technically an island. Music on vinyl, going to concerts, large amounts of coffee, airports, books, autumn and exploring my city are some of my favourite things. I don’t like ants, bell pepper, p...

Dansekapellet

Dancing at the old crematorium

Svanemølle-molen

Best pier in town

Even when the temperature descends to freezing, you’ll still see folks making use of the space, many just walking to the tip and enjoying the view.

Café Lindevang

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.

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.
