                <description><![CDATA[A really nice bar, full of creative types and students. Serves some excellent Danish beers as well as the normal Carlsberg and Tuborg. Sit outside weather permitting, blankets provided if a bit chilly! All the furniture and fittings are supposedly up for sale, if you really fancy a chair with your beer, this is the place. In all the years I have been there I have never seen anyone do this ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Another ‘artsy’ bar come restaurant, it’s been around for ages. Great relaxed atmosphere and has a very creative vibe - I always end up decorating the paper table cloths with ad-hoc doodling. The back of the bar serves as an excellent little eatery, although I found the quality very hit or miss. The bar itself serves mediocre pub grub but come here for a drink and catch a flavour of Vesterbro.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The most arty of arty bars with really surreal sculpture that sets the mood - melted plastic, baby doll head lampshades etc. Great food too. The menu has been rather static for years but why change it when it works. Great beer and coffee, wine and tea, whatever your fancies are you won’t be disappointed. Filled with locals and arty types at all times so getting a table can be difficult, but well worth it.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This neighbourhood wine bar/cafe has so many great things going for it: charming staff, the tiny menu (one soup, one tapas platter, one sandwich), interesting wine menu and cosy, super-relaxed ambiance. A great place to while away an hour or so on a chilly CPH day.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The oldest cake shop in Copenhagen, this is where to head for an amazing sweet treat. The cakes taste as good as they look and the old-fashioned décor and atmosphere of this little patisserie make it worth splashing out (although at about £5 a cake it’s not exactly extortionate).<br><br>I can recommend the ‘H.C. Anderson’, named after the famous author, which is a delicious mix of raspberry, lemon, nut and white chocolate.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Don't panic, it's organic! This place offers 100% organic soups, smoothies and cocktails. The place is the first in Denmark to sell to-go drinks, and I was really pleased to be able to buy a couple of drinks, and bring them with me, so I could enjoy them in the sunshine of Nørrebro.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A fantastic little bar/cafe with some of the strangest decor I've ever seen - peculiar taxidermical creations dressed in human clothing, which are created by artist Filip Jensen. A short walk from the town centre it is not full of tourists but has a pleasingly mixed clientele of students, the arty and locals.]]></description>

Great sandwiches, good beer, very nice wines.<br><br>Free Internet -and a laptop you can use to check your mail, if you haven't brought your own. <br><br>The owner is a really nice American guy named Tom.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A former hippy commune, and also former hash-market, it used to represent everything that was great about Denmark; relaxed, accepting, friendly, open...now that the government has come over all conservative, it is being systematically shut down to eventually be sold for redevelopment. Shame on you Denmark!<br><br>Still well worth a visit for the arts/crafts and cafes/concerts, as well as a peaceful stroll around the lake; very unusual and uniquely Danish. Enjoy it while you can!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Cafe/bar/restaurant - a well known Copenhagen hangout off the main drag for brunch and at any time - not posh, reasonably priced, with decent food, good beers, great bohemian crowd and atmosphere (always great looking crowd!! - but you are in Scandinavia!) so, students, old folk, artists, trendy types - usually all locals etc.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is my local so I won't be dissing it. Cosy cafe in the heart of the vibrant Vesterbro neighbourhood. Award-winning brunch and a great menu in general. <br><br>Expect to wait longer for your nosh than other cafes as they prepare it lovingly from scratch. Spend the time enjoying a quality beer.]]></description>

You're lucky to get a table on a Saturday but try the Hang-over Brunch and, if necessary, order a painkiller pill with it.<br><br>Brunch is served from 10-13 except Saturday 10-12 and Sunday 10-15.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Vesterbro is a dynamic, youthful neighbourhood well worth a visit. Istedgade is the main street to wander down. By the central station there are sex shops, tourist hotels and a mini Chinatown, but continue on and soon lively middle-eastern green grocers, trendy boutiques and wonderful cafes appear. <br><br>A high concentration of great and varied restaurants, fantastic coffee places and an invaluable insight into the daily life of Copenhageners are to be found in this old working class neighbourhood.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Basically every tourist guide to Copenhagen will feature a photo of Nyhavn as the defining iconic image of the city. <br>The name means New Harbour, an optimistic description for what is merely a straight canal running from the harbour up to Kongens Nytorv Square.<br><br>But the gaily painted old houses are eye candy for the tourist and the old sailing ships bobbing at the quay are a long line of photo ops. <br><br>What used to be the drunken, whoring sailor's favourite haunt is now a long line of cafés that laugh behind your back for paying so much for their beer. <br><br>But it's pretty. Go for a walk. Drink beer elsewhere.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Lagkegehuset is a fantastic bakery in Christianshavn, 10 minutes walk from the centre. This part of town is really much nicer that the touristy centre, so if you want a feel of the real Copenhagen, go there. <br><br>The breads-cakes are extremely good and they use mainly organic ingredients. The stone-oven-baked ciabatta is soft, even after five days. The staff are friendly and they serve coffee which you can drink seated on bar-stools facing the canal through the big, opening windows.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Most of the museums in Copenhagen are closed on Mondays - go to Roskilde. Visit the medieval cathedral with its royal tombs and wonderful ironwork, then walk down the hill from its west end to the fascinating viking ship museum. It's a group of skeletal wrecks, reassembled after being brought up from where they were sunk to block access, with good interpretive displays, modern full-size rebuilds done by traditional (take a tree trunk and an axe) methods, and, in summer, the chance to take an oar on a short trip out in one of the replicas. <br><br>Lots of hands-on activities for children too. It's on the water's edge, with a cafe, and there are more conventional boat trips for those who never fancied being a viking crew member.]]></description>
