Salon 39 Copenhagen

Love of flavor and simplicity

""Salon 39" Copenhagen is a cocktail bar and Michelin-quality restaurant in the Frederiksberg neighborhood of Copenhagen..."

Salon 39 is a cocktail bar and restaurant in the Frederiksberg neighborhood of Copenhagen. It is a small place with an amazing ability to mix a few ingredients together to create outstanding flavors in both food and drinks. It started out as a cocktail bar founded by two Copenhagen friends, a Michelin-star trained chef and a trained bartender from Hotel Vier Jahrzeiten in Hamburg. They wanted to create a great cocktail-bar while serving a few simple dishes and snacks so people would hang around instead of leaving to go get food elsewhere.

Food is prepared with lots of love and great ingredients, cocktails are made with the best liquors imported from around the world; Pisco from Chile and Peru, Bourbon from small American distilleries and homemade infused vodka and cognacs. One of my favorite things to do is sit at the bar, let the bartender surprise me with new concoctions and listen to him chat with off-duty cocktail-bartenders from around Copenhagen who somehow always hang out at Salon 39. Don't be surprised if the topic is something geeky, like how to make the perfect ice cube for shaking cocktails.

The décor is dark and somber. The soundtrack is vinyl jazz records. The main reason I love this place is their insane passion for making sure that both food and cocktails are the very best. Not the most fancy, but the very best.

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.
