Only one year after our last visit to Copenhagen so many new places opened. The city is always beautiful and inspiring and it’s necessary to go back there often in order to discover new food trends, design interiors and buildings mixed in its traditional and colourful beauty.
This time I visited Denmark with Lidia, a dear friend and someone who is Copenhagen cultured. We selected lots of places we wanted to check before we left. We also found new ones simply by walking around and as well, some were suggested by VisitDenmark who supported us with Volagratis. During the 5-day itinerary they recommended for us to visit Odense, a pretty city just 1 hour and a half far from the city.
This story will integrate the full Copenhagen map which we created on the website with the places we visited during our last two visits.
As a photographer I want to suggest to plan your days thoroughly, especially because during the winter, a big part of the day is dark and the weather is usually foggy. So, if you want to take good pictures with natural light, remember not to leave your hotel or apartment too late because it will get dark early. Also remember to book restaurants or try to get there when they open in order to be able to take some good pictures of the interiors when it’s not full of people inside.
Andersen & Maillard
The very first place I want to suggest has to be a cafè that is a roastery as well, obviously. Andersen & Maillard is one of those cozy places where the materials have textures and are original: wood, concrete, iron, marble. The light comes from big windows and coffee bean bags are placed all around. It’s a mix between a minimal design studio and a proper coffee factory. The coffee is great and the croissants are very well made.

Statement Coffee
This place is really close to the hotel where we stayed and 1 minute walk from the railway station, so it’s a good choice for a breakfast in the early morning or before you take a train (to Odense, for example). The interiors have a good colour palette and everything is very well-finished. The coffee is self-roasted and sold in three different coloured packages without any label.
I loved the La Marzocco Linea on the bench and the little circular marble tables in the corner.
