Guidebook for Copenhagen
Food Scene
Best ice-cream bar in Copenhagen! The ice-cream is gelato inspired using fresh, ecological ingredients (local if possible), made in small portions in the back to secure freshness. Nuts are from Italy and they have their chocolate made in France. They have daily specialities - freshly baked cones or cups. Take away is possible too. Expect queues, but it will be worth it. https://ismageriet.dk

Getting Around
This is the station you get off at, from the Airport - on the way to the central Train Station. It's an important public transportation intersection, where you have a choice of metro or (local)trains to downtown (The Metro runs 24/7), the Central station or Sweden (a short train ride away).
Why not take a day trip north along the eastern coast to Ordrupgaard, Louisiana, the deer Park, karen Blixen's House and of course Elsinore?
