Guidebook for København
Parks & Nature
This is my happy place. Beautiful place to bike, walk, run, picnic, enjoy nature. There are some restaurants in the park. Take the S Train from Nørreport to Klampenborg. Or ride your bikes, 15 km. Nice castle and 'royal' deer herds in the park too.

Shopping
My favorite street/area in the city. All small boutiques selling art, food, clothes, wine, etc. Cafés, bars, restaurants. Try Relæ or Manfreds (new nordic kitchens). Or the wine bar. Or Mikeller Beer bar on Stefansgade!! Walk thru the cemetary to get there. Walk down both sides of the street. At end of the street turn right on Stefansgade for more shops and restaurants.

Food Scene
There are so many amazing spots in the city, but I love these super local to the flat. Torvehallerne (food halls) are a little further, 15 mins by foot, or 5 mins on the 5C bus (get off at Nørreport station).
So amazing, don't think, just go - 13 minutes walk from flat. Indoor and outdoor upscale farmers market with restaurants, bars, cafes, fish and meat market, food for sale. Just go. Now. Beautiful and so alive - year round!!!
