Sømods Sweet Shop Copenhagen

The sweetest Copenhagen spot!

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! Made in Athens, Greece, of Italian -Venetian to be exact- origins due to my grandpa from Corfu, studied in Athens and Paris (Theology, Sociolo...
"Sømods Candies, founded in 1891, is a hidden gem and Royal Danish Court supplier — still handmaking 70 candy types with original methods!"

Sømods Sweet Shop or Sømods Candies was originally founded in 1891 and has been in the family since then, plus has the biggest honor a Danish shop can get to testify quality out of the ordinary: 100 years after its creation it became the supplier of the Royal Danish Court, personally granted by the Queen of Denmark at the time!

Pretty hidden even though very central, this little candy factory is the only one in the world that still uses the original production methods and material - and everything is 100% handmade to this day! You can actually see the candy makers while shopping, as the shop is separated with glass from the factory part. And that is the whole experience indeed! Very small shop, but it hosts 70 different kinds of candy, plus Christmas ornaments with the factory's façade and, of course, frames with all the certifications, the Queen, and newspaper mentions — pretty impressive!

A very sweet place, which, due to its location, a lot of people miss, very local, definitely to visit and buy candy, plus you get a stamp card for discounts or gifts when you reach 10 purchases. I personally recommend the rhubarb candy — a very acquired taste, but I think it's totally worth it!

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.

So go wander amongst the students engaged in discussions, people meeting for language exchange and remember to notice the local art decorating the walls.

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.
