THEME GUIDE
Majestic time out Whether you think a true treasure is an old manuscript, a King’s crown, a fine piece of porcelain, or a contemporary photograph, Copenhagen is your host for a majestic time out. By Denise Rose Hansen The Crown Regalia In King’s Garden, a 12-hectare Renaissance park in the centre of Copenhagen, a beautiful castle is surrounded by water: Rosenborg. Rosenborg was one of Christian IV’s many architectural projects, and was intended to be his country summerhouse when built in 1606. Today, the castle is the home of the Crown Jewels. In the basement, you will find the Treasury. The collection is there to be used by the reigning Queen, and was established with the will of Queen Sophie Magdalene in 1746. For the last coronation of the absolute monarchy in 1840, Queen Caroline Amalie had the main part of the Crown Jewels put together in four sets consisting of tiara, necklace, brooch, and earrings. The collection also encompasses Christian V’s crown and an Order of Dannebrog star. (kongernessamling.dk/en/rosenborg) A literary diamond If you want to see Denmark’s biggest diamond, head to the Royal Library — The Black Diamond. Architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen designed the building, with its 2,500-square-metre facade of black granite. The heart of the building is the atrium, illuminated by daylight. Take a trip up the escalator and gaze at Per Kirkeby’s mural, and witness the magnificent coupling of the old and new library buildings. Music composed weekly by Fuzzy emits the impressive speakers to mark 13.00 every day. The exhibition above the café shows beautiful and valuable gems from the library’s collections, spanning the fields of literature, science, philosophy, cartography, and 6

music. Kierkegaard’s letters to his fiancée, a Karen Blixen manuscript, and Hans Christian Andersen’s diary are currently among the displayed objects in the magical room. (kb.dk/en) Shopping like her Majesty Amagertorv is the place to shop like royalty. Royal Copenhagen’s hand-painted porcelain can be found in a beautiful three-storey Renaissance house in number 6. Silversmith Georg Jensen can be found just next-door in number 4. Look out for the iconic Daisy collection, which is immensely associated with HM the Queen, and is a popular choice for women in all ages. When Queen Ingrid gave birth to Princess Margrethe in 1940, Georg Jensen offered her a special edition of the Daisy ring. You will also find Holmegaard crystal and Illums Bolighus in the square. These stores all carry the prestigious words “Purveyor to her Majesty, the Queen of Denmark”. Still looking for that last souvenir? Head to Gammel Mønt 4 to visit Denmark’s oldest wine trade, Kjær & Sommerfeldt. Contemporary portraits in a royal setting The Swiss-American photographer Marco Grob is a master of portraits. He has photographed Lady Gaga, Steve Jobs, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julianne Moore, Colin Firth, Kevin Spacey... And HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary. Grob’s work is exhibited at the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle until January 2017. Frederiksborg Castle is located north of Copenhagen, in Hillerød. The grand castle dates back to the early seventeenth century when built by King Christian IV and boasts excellent Renaissance architecture and craftsmanship. The museum within the castle is a rendezvous with kings, queens, and nobles, historical events and epochs that have shaped the country’s history and development from the Middle Ages. (dnm.dk/UK)

Rami, 29, performance artist When I’m travelling to new cities, especially in the summer months, I love to have the chance to take a swim. The area Islands Brygge is a perfect spot for that. Here, you can take a dip in the harbour to refresh your day, lie in the grass, meet locals, and have coffee and ice cream. The motto on Islands Brygge is ‘relax and enjoy’.
Trine, 28, management consultant One of my favourite places in Copenhagen is the Assistens Cemetery. It’s a beautiful place through all seasons and it fills you up with a sense of calm and serenity –an amazing feeling in the middle of the buzzing Nørrebro neighbourhood!

Maja, 37, designer Cycling through the city on a summer’s day and swimming in the harbour is undoubtedly what makes me most happy about living in Copenhagen! My absolute favourite itinerary: Breakfast at the grocery store and café Alimentari (alimentari.dk) on Islands Brygge. Jump into the water by the harbour bath! Cycle over Olafur Eliasson’s bridge and buy incomparably delicious natural wine at the pop-up restaurant Knipps Kaj below Knippel Bridge (rosforth.dk/content/knippskaj). Next stop is the legendary store Nørgaard paa Strøget (madsnorgaard.com). Enjoy lunch at Atelier September in Gothersgade 30 (cafeatelierseptember. com). Just around the corner, you can visit one of the ten main Islamic art collections in the West, the David Collection (davidmus.dk). Bring your bike on the train to Galerie Nicolai Wallner (nicolaiwallner.com.) Have dinner at restaurant Spaghetteria in Vester Farimagsgade 2 (spaghetteria.dk). Finally, sleep in the world’s smallest hotel, Central Hotel & Café, in Tullinsgade 1 (centralhotelogcafe.dk).
Hilde, 3, kindergartener Go to the Skydebane Playground (Skydebanehaven, Absalonsgade 12)! I like riding my bike on the hills. There are 3 hills. I start on the big hill in the corner where you can pretend you’re in a fairy tale. My favourite slide on the playground is the red one that goes round and round. You climb up a rope to get up on the slide, it’s not that difficult. Once I fell and hurt myself on the slide and then grandad gave me an ice cream.

The City Is My Playground The Little Mermaid is legendary because 1. She has great hair. 2. Her friends are talking sea animals. 3. She’s little. Obviously, this means that Copenhagen is a fun city to be a kid and teenager in. Otherwise Ariel wouldn’t still be hanging out here, right? She’d be in Disneyland or something. By Denise Rose Hansen
Show your folks where the art is at All right, art is pretty cool. But you know what’s cooler than looking at art? Making it. In SMK’s Children’s Workshop, they agree. They have everything you need to show your mum that Picasso is overrated. Bubble wrap. Different kinds of paper and cardboard. Yarn. Crayons. Paint. You can make a sculpture inspired by the summer sun, paint your travel memories, and create your own artist’s book. Pssst: They have water pistols there. Not your fault if your dad is standing in the way, is it? Get your ticket at the information desk. 2-7 August, Tuesday to Sunday, 11-30-16.30. (smk.dk)
Get a break from your parents Grown-ups are nice, but every once in a while you just need a breather, right? Here’s what to do. Go to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art with your parents. Park them in the Poul Gernes exhibition. Go to the Children’s Wing. You made it. Now exhale. During the week and on weekends, you can try a lot of different activities, including workshops that are related to the paintings in the museum. During summer, you can attend the Visual Arts School and experiment with artistic techniques and materials. (en.louisiana.dk) Ever heard about a guy called Shakespeare? This summer, the magical Kronborg Castle turns into a giant theatre stage. And you’re invited! Shakespeare’s famous characters will all be there, walking around the castle and the courtyard. As soon as you enter the grounds, you are part of the story! You have no idea who you will meet, or when you will meet them. To be, or not to be … Well, the question is, will you be there? I know Hamlet will. Hamlet Live. 1-31 August 2016. Art that changes with the weather
A real-life war game I like playing war games on my iPad. But I think it’s even more fun to complete missions in real life. At Mosede Fort, you can explore the fort inside out. You are their new recruit, and your job is to check that no enemies are loitering around the grassy ramparts. Maybe your dad is hiding in one of the concrete caves, because he’s tired of you running faster than him? You must complete missions to prove that you can be a true soldier, fit for fight Materials are available in Danish, German, and English. ‘Break a Sweat and Get down in the Grass - Recruit at the Fort’. 2-7 August: Tuesday to Sunday, 11-15. 13 August – 25 September: Saturdays and Sundays, 11-16.

Ordrupgaard has added an art playground to its stunning Charlottenlund grounds for you to engage with sculptures in a way that transcends the usual look-but-don’t-touch dogma of the museum experience. Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson’s artwork Vær i vejret is a giant bronze ring emitting fog in the garden, thus rendering the changing direction of the wind visible, even tangible. As mist blows across the meadow, it hugs everyone and everything it passes, inciting play and movement. With Vær i vejret, Eliasson has turned the weather into an active playmate.

LOUISIANA BUCKET LIST There’s a really big hill in the garden. It’s so much fun to pretend you’re a sausage and roll down it! *tummy tickles* If the weather is nice, why not go for a swim? The strawberry cake in the café is delicious. Tell your mum the strawberry cake is an icon of Danish culture–would be a shame to miss out on cuture,wouldn’t it? Wave to Sweden!

Johanne, 32, doctor During summer, I love to take in the city by bike. I always bring my bikini and a book, and often start out at Kihoskh on Sdr. Boulevard, where I get some strawberries and a rye bread sandwich to bring along. Then I ride across the Cycle Snake (an elevated orange bike lane, ed.) to the canals and jump in for a swim. When I’m dry, I continue to Christianshavn looking at houseboats and take in the atmosphere. From there, I go back towards the centre. If the weather fails, it’s nice to drop by Glyptoteket, just to enjoy the light there and read a bit. Then I drive to the lakes, across Nørrebro, through the Assistens Cemetery, and finally back home to Vesterbro. I pass through Skydebanehaven (combined park and playground, ed.) and end the trip with an ice cream at Siciliansk Is in Skydebanegade.
Vibe, 5, kindergartener My favourite museum is the Open Air Museum in Lyngby (Kongevejen 100). You get to be outside and look at a lot of houses from old times. You can also bring a ball and your lunch and have a picnic. My favourite place to have a juice is at the café Granola (Værnedamsvej 5) and they also have great lollipops!

Kaia, 29, architect When in Copenhagen, you have to take advantage of the combination of salty sea and laid-back city life. Start by hopping on a canal cruise to the Trekroner fortress. On this historic Island, you can escape the city buzz and enjoy the ocean view with no interruptions. Afterwards, take the boat back into Christianhavn and rent a bike. Bike out to Refshaleøen island and enjoy good wine on the dock in front of the restaurant La Banchina, where you can get that authentic local feeling – and a good pasta dish. Explore the industrial and creative culture of Refshaleøen by bike. At night, go back to Christianshavn and get dinner and wine at either the restaurant Sankt Annæ 8 or at the floating restaurant Bådudlejningen on the canal – they have a good Aperol Spritz for you spritz lovers!
Mishael, 26, Photographer Spend an evening at Café Intime on Allegade in Frederiksberg. Fabled as Copenhagen’s oldest queer pub, Café Intime hosts a cabaret night on Tuesdays and Wednesdays every week where dated Danish (but sometimes French and English) songs are sung beside a grand piano. In a setting reminiscent of a magical 1940s Parisian saloon, you’ll undoubtedly forgive the engulfing wall of cigarette smoke once immersed in the regular singalong to Edith Piaf’s Non, Je ne regrette rien.
Frederikke, 27, communications and history student My favourite places in Copenhagen are the places that are close to the water. It always makes me happy to stand on the bridge Knippelsbro and look at the Royal Danish Opera House or to sit somewhere along the Copenhagen Harbour and look at all the boats and buildings!

Østerbro: Green Spaces and Contemporary Art 2100 is known as the area Copenhageners move to when they want to start a family. Even though it is located just north of the city centre and geographically holding hands with Nørrebro, visitors often overlook Østerbro. Beat the queues. Walk the cobblestones. Enjoy the vast green spaces, the world-class contemporary art, and the stunning views. Welcome to Østerbro. By Denise Rose Hansen

A star-shaped fortress The Citadel (or Kastellet) is an otherworldly oasis. With its grassy barbican, deep blue water, historic sights, and pentagram shape, you will not leave this well-preserved monument unchanged. The grounds hold five bastions, one on each point of the star, as well as a church, a windmill, and two bridges. The citadel dates back to 1662 when it was built to complete Copenhagen’s strongholds. Despite its military design, the citadel is one of the most tranquil places in the city. Go here for a run, for an afternoon walk, for a scenic view of the Øresund, or for one of the many free events and concerts hosted throughout the year. (kastellet.info) Exhibition of the rejected J.F. Willumsen, painter and agent provocateur, was dissatisfied with the Royal Danish Academy’s lack of innovative thinking, like many other young artists in the 1880s. Wanting to establish an alternative to the censored spring exhibition at Charlottenborg, Willumsen co-founded Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in 1891. The Salon des Refusés in Paris was his role model. Den Frie is now hosting an exhibition that marks its very own history (until September 18). Salon Des Refusès is a site-specific total installation by Tina Maria Nielsen, set up in the basement of the building. The installation will be used as a platform for poetic readings, dj sets, and talks. The basement is explored as a symbolic and historical hide-away, but also a space for contemplation. (en.denfrie.dk) Painting as shooting Faurschou Foundation is a young but prominent art institution with venues in Beijing, Venice, and Copenhagen. The Copenhagen space has previously shown the solo work of Ai Wei Wei and Louise Bourgeois. You have the chance to experience Liu Xiaodong, one of China’s most influential contemporary painters, in Painting as Shooting (until December 16). This is the final part of a series of three exhibitions, which mixes Xiadong’s previous shows in Venice and Beijing. The painter explores pressing issues of contemporary society, such as the dangerous migration across the Mediterranean Sea. Documentary films that follow Xiadong’s projects will be on display. The foundation’s location in North Harbour (Nordhavn) grants you a spectacular view of the sea and the odd architectural design of the UN City. (faurschou.com) Back to nature Fælledparken is a 65,000-square-feet recreation ground perfect for sports and picnics. The park is the neighbour of the National Stadium, home of northern Europe’s largest skatepark, and one of the best places to run in Copenhagen. Kids love the Tower Playground, which features scaled-down versions of Our Saviour’s Church, City Hall, the Round Tower, the Marble Church, and the Exchange Tower. On the border of the park, you will find the Zoological Museum, which is part of the Natural History Museum of Denmark. With more than 10 million specimens in their collection, the museum represents 10 % of the global fauna. (zoologi.snm.ku.dk/english) 15

Lea, 29, ergotherapist Go to the forest park Dyrehaven, it’s a lovely day away from the city! You can also pay a visit to Bakken, the world’s oldest amusement park Bakken (Dyrehavevej 62), also located in the woods of Dyrehaven. Dyrehaven is beautiful all year round and if you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of deer. If the weather is nice, you can go for a dip at Bellevue Beach (Strandvejen 340), which is close by.

Idalou, 9, pupil I think kids should go the park Fælledparken, because it has two secret playgrounds – the Tower Playground (Tårnlegepladsen, Frederik V's Vej 4) and the Children’s Traffic Playground (Trafiklegepladsen, Gunnar Nu Hansens Plads 10). At the Tower Playground, there are models of real Copenhagen towers that you can climb and play in. Go and explore Copenhagen with your family and then pay a visit to the Tower Playground and look at all the towers you saw. At the Traffic Playground, also in Fælledparken, you can practice your traffic skills/ being out in traffic. During the weekdays, you can borrow bikes and pretend that you’re a real Dane riding your bike around the city! Or go to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. It’s such a cool place and there’s a children’s room, where you get to make all kinds of art! First, you can walk around the museum and look at all the art and afterwards you can try your hand at making art yourself. You can make art that relates to what you’ve just seen in the museum.

Lyngby: Open Landscapes and Quality Shopping If you take a 15-20 minute train ride north of Copenhagen, you will see everything getting greener and brighter as you look out the window. When you reach Lyngby, you’re in the outskirts of Copenhagen. Here you will find glimmering lakes and forests as well as shopping options, delicious food, and museums to explore. In short, this is the perfect daytrip for getting some fresh air. By Anne-Sofie Stampe

See: Time travel When you enter the Open Air Museum, you have instantly travelled centuries back in time. Stroll along the gravel roads and visit the fully furnished homes of people from the past, such as the peasant, the wealthy miller, the village weaver, or the inmates of the poorhouse. This fascinating time warp is one of the largest and oldest open-air museums in the world. Shopping: The smell of tea Though Lyngby is not a big city, it has two shopping malls and the main street Lyngby Hovedgade is bursting with shops. Worth a highlight is the hidden gem Chaya. This small shop specialises in quality tea, and the wonderful smell meets your nose as soon as you open the door. If you are looking for top Danish watch design, and who isn’t, visit Palæet and drool over Ole Mathiesen’s clean, simple, and exclusive watches. Chaya, Lyngby Hovedgade 9A Palæet, Lyngby Hovedgade 37 See: Industrial beauty Just a 10-minute walk from the Open Air Museum you will find Brede Works, located in Denmark’s largest protected industrial complex. The surroundings are divine; ducks and swans swim around in the picturesque lake, and the large garden is full of old apple trees on rows. Inside Brede Works, sound and film bring you an insight into the lives of ordinary people in the transition to modern society through industrialisation, and the impacts it had on daily life. Eat: Idyllic eating and a quick fix If your stomach screams for food, do not miss Restaurant Brede Spisehus, just next to Brede Works. The restaurant opened in 1893 and the National Museum has carefully and gradually restored the place while ensuring that the original interior, decorative design remains intact. The restaurant has a fantastic view overlooking a small lake and is just pure everyday luxury. Strolling down the main street of Lyngby, you may find yourself in need of a quick fix to keep up energy levels. Frellsen Chocolate has the best soft-ice for miles around.

We will eat, see some art, and shop for irresistible design. You deserve it. By Anne-Sofie Stampe DAY 1: 09:00 At home with Grandma Welcome at Grandma’s – or in Danish, Mormors. The flowered wallpaper, patchwork blankets, and every piece of interior are selected for you to feel like you are visiting your grandparents. A calm, cosy, and perfect place to start the day.

Secondly, their selection of European art from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and early modern Danish art is quite spectacular.

13:00 Soak up the light during lunch Next to grand old trees and green lawns you find the restaurant Orangeriet in the Royal Garden. The old building which houses the restaurant, the light pouring in through the windows, and the surrounding nature in the middle of the city, make the entire experience quite magical. They serve the Danish classic Smørrebrød (open sandwich) or a two or three-course lunch menu. Orangeriet (restaurant-orangeriet.dk) Kronprinsessegade 13, Kbh K Photo: Orangeriet cphmuseums.com 20
15:00 Winter garden serenity Glyptoteket is one of the prettiest museums in Copenhagen. The winter garden with its mosaic floor, palm trees reaching for the rooftop and the beautiful glass dome, give a feeling of pure serenity. From here you can find your way through the most amazing art collections. Glyptoteket’s collections should have something for every taste with antique sculptures, French nineteenth-century paintings, Danish Golden Age paintings, and European art from the eighteenth-twentieth centuries. Glyptoteket (glyptoteket.dk) Dantes Plads 7, Kbh V 17:00 Danish design goodies Within 150 metres you can find Danish design to sit on, to wear, and to decorate with. It is time for shopping Danish design. HAY has an amazing shop full of cool furniture and accessories for your home. Also do not miss Stilleben, which is full of Danish design accessories to make your house look pretty.

The entire hotel and the furniture are designed by Arne Jacobsen. Jacobsen’s famous chairs The Egg and The Swan were actually designed for this hotel and have made Danish design famous worldwide. While enjoying your evening at Alberto K, you will be dining with Arne Jacobsen cutlery, sitting in his chair designs, and feel butterflies fluttering in your stomach while looking out over Copenhagen from the twentieth floor.

This place is cosy and serves great coffee and food, but it is not cheap. However, everything on your plate is of a very high and you will enjoy every bite. Union Kitchen (theunionkitchen.dk) Store Strandstræde 21, Kbh K Photo: The Union Kitchen
12:00 Take my breath away After brunch, you get to stretch your legs on the way to the next stop; Thorvaldsens Museum. The museum opened in 1848 and shows a massive collection of art by Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). Everything inside the museum is breathtaking. The ceilings, the floors, the walls, and the art – it is all absolutely spectacular. Don’t miss the exhibition Monument, which is dedicated to Thorvaldsen’s famous monument sculptures around Europe and explores how they are being portrayed on social media in the everyday life surrounding them.

14:30 Close to the stars “Colourful and creative modern interpretations of Venezuelan dishes are served at this stylish restaurant”, says the Michelin Guide recommendation of restaurant Taller. The restaurant was predicted its first Michelin star in 2016, but was bypassed. That does not change the fact that this is a great restaurant introducing you to tastes you have never tried before. Next year it might be a lot more difficult to book a table here, if the star arrives! Taller (restaurant-taller.dk) Tordenskjoldsgade 11, Kbh K Open for lunch Thur-Sat Photo: Taller

9:00 Breakfast on the road Though the convenience store 7/11 is not exactly gourmet, they actually have delicious breakfast items to bring along.
