One of the oldest bars in Copenhagen (has existed since 1917!). It has lots of atmosphere due to the dim lighting, its red wallpaper and jazz on the stereo. The clientele is a mix of old regulars and young people. A place where it's hard not to get into conversation with the person next to you.

Address: Klareboderne 14, Copenhagen K. A side street to Købmagergade and close to Nørreport Station.

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.

Great little bar that serves the most random and tastiest beers from around Europe.

Charlie's Bar is on a side street of Strøget, Copenhagen's main pedestrianised shopping street, right in the centre of town.

The layout is great, a large communal area including sofas, a pool table, free Internet, an outside terrace, and beer on tap at reception.

The hostel’s buzz line is “It’s more fun”, with a maximum age for guests of 3; but actually Sleep-in-Heaven is a pretty tight ship, and the over-efficiency of the staff can sterilise the atmosphere a little.

This is a very lively bar in the city centre and it's the cheapest place we found, by a mile - £1.50 to £2.00 a pint. It tends to be full of students, but if you want to avoid irritating tourists, it's a good bet!

You get given two free vouchers for a drink at the Carlsberg Bar at the end of the self-guided tour. Definitely worth it to try out all their different beers. We went back three times!

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.

This sandy playground of the young and beautiful is located just 20 minutes north of Copenhagen on the S-train line to Klampenborg. With views of Sweden across the sea, this stretch of fine sand is lively on hot summer days. Alternatively, try the charming, century-old sea baths next door called Bellevue Beach Baths.

The Beach is fantastic, and the water (Kattegat) probably the cleanest in Europe in a very friendly and relaxing village. Season runs from June-September.

Tisvildeleje is situated on the north coast of Denmark. Nearest train station Tisvildeleje, approx 1 1/2 hours trainride from Copenhagen airport.

There are lots of places to get a decent beer in Copenhagen, from bars to cafes, bodegas to basements, but there aren't many places with something other than Carlsberg and Tuborg on tap.

The Lord Nelson is a relatively new bar in a cosy basement on Hyskenstræde, just off Strøget. They have many different beers from micro-breweries all over Denmark, including dark and fruit beer. Definitely the place to go to break away from the city wide lager monopoly.

Ten years ago all the bars in the Vesterbro neighbourhood were much like this. Kitsch, old-fashioned and rough around the edges.
McKluud (the name comes from the 70's series McCloud) is one of the few bars that has survived the trendy development of the area. Here the old locals sit alongside the young, artsy-fartsy types. A bottle of unfashionable but cheap Albani beer seems to be a symbol of unification between the generations. Play billiards in the back room, too.

Much has been written about the new, trendy bars that are springing up in Copenhagen's inner city districts of Vesterbro and Nørrebro. However, what is not mentioned is that many of them charge twice as much for a beer as smaller, unpretentious bars off the main streets. Many young urbanites are happy to pay 40 kr for a half litre of beer, if it means avoiding the oldsters in the bodega round the corner where the same drink costs 20 kr. However, these older people are often more colourful, friendly, and love to speak English.

All over Copenhagen. Look for the name 'bodega', Tuborg and Carlsberg signs, and bar names in Danish (as oppposed to English, Russian, or French).

Danhostel Copenhagen have opened a designer youth hostel in one of the city’s few tall buildings. Every room has a stunning view and the shared rooms aimed at backpackers start at about 10 pounds. Budget rooms with more privacy are available, too.

It’s secret mostly because Google Earth’s satellite photos are so outdated that it doesn’t even exist. Copenhagen’s new riviera, Amager Strandpark, was inaugurated this year and puts a massive recreation area with beaches, lagoons and outdoorsy pursuits within a 15 minute bike ride from the city. A man-made island juts out into the sea towards Sweden from the island of Amager just to the south of Copenhagen and will undoubtedly be a popular summer destination. Copenhagen doesn’t lack great beaches. There are long stretches to the south and trendy beaches to the north, but the new beach is an impressive attempt to create new, exciting areas for recreation close to the city.

Located along Amager Strandvej on the island of Amager.
Reached by metro to Lergravsparken station and a 15 minute walk along Øresundsvej or by bus #12 from the Town Hall Square or the airport.
