Take a shopping trip strolling in Strøget and stop for a drink or a quick lunch at Nyhavn and afterwards go to see the baroque style Marble Church (Frederikskirke) just oposite the Amalienborg Palace.

Another place ideal for the whole family is the Zoo of Copenhagen in Frederiksberg and the Tycho Brahe Planetarium. Another must is a visit to the Statens Museum for Kunst.

A wonderful building with a fabulous courtyard which has a history of the chair as a permanent exhibition (not as dull as it sounds) with a lot of Arne Jacobsen alongside Kaare Klint.

Oh, and it has the best museum cafe I have ever eaten in.

A beautiful Australian restaurant, very central. Delicious dishes and a wonderful dessert called 'death by chocolate'.

Beer is back. Like many places micro-breweries and new imports are hot. For an all-round beer/food evening, try the excellent Nørrebro Bryghus (Brewery House) who embrace hops like their own children and serve up appropriate grub.

Nørrebro Bryghus is in the Nørrebro neighbourhood.

Sticks n Sushi is a local chain that has the concept well under control. Stylish, Euro-Japanese and trendy. They have four restaurants and they're all cool and good. They have a super kids menu that puts sushi into reach of the up and comers.

Both restaurant and take away.

Peckish after wandering about the town? Head immediately for Sushitarian, just off Kongens Nytorv, for a groovy sushi lunch. There are sushi restaurants galore, but Sushitarian have the lunch angle wrapped up tight in seaweed.

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.

Expect to wait longer for your nosh than other cafes as they prepare it lovingly from scratch. Spend the time enjoying a quality beer.

Zakabona is at Istedgade 88. Ten minutes from the central station. On the corner of Dannebrogsgade.
Brunch is from 10:30-14 (weekdays) and 10-15 (weekends). 99 kroner.

Copenhagen has nine restaurants with one or two stars according to the Michelin Guide.

If you're looking for fine dining then pull out your trusty copy of Le Guide (you always carry it with you, don't you?) and get ready for a taste experience.

The hot spot for young, hungover city dwellers. 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.

Brunch is served from 10-13 except Saturday 10-12 and Sunday 10-15.

Any Copenhagener worth their salt knows exactly where the best brunch can be had. Rumours and info about brunch places fly around faster than gossip about whether or not the Queen's husband is a queen.

Brunch is fundamental to trendy Copenhagen life and cafés know how hard the competition is. The result being extraordinary efforts in brunchness, with modern twists on the theme.

One of the best-kept secrets in town is the cafe atop the Post and Telegraf Museum. A stunning view of town and light, traditional Danish courses for lunch. Loads of blue-haired, sophisticated ladies, but that’s part of the charm.

Cafes always tend to have hearty sandwiches on the menu. Any cosy cafe in the centre of town will serve your needs. They’re usually designed to be eaten with a knife and fork which defeats the whole concept of a sandwich, but tasty is the rule.

Try the sausages from a ‘pølsevogn’ - sausage stand - on the street. Traditional Danish fast food at its greasiest. Grab a sausage on a cardboard tray, place two globs of ketchup and mustard next to it, order two pieces of bread and get dipping. These portable sausage stands are so revered as cultural institutions that long lines of cars don’t dare honk when the respective vendor is walking the stand down the streets to get to work on a city street corner.

Walt Disney was so fond of Tivoli Gardens that he was inspired to build Disneyland. That’s where the similarities end. Tivoli is a must see, if not for the modern rides then for an understanding of the down-to-earth Danish mentality. Don’t expect an amusement park experience. Get ready to wander lazily about soaking up the quaintness of it all and it's simple pleasures: a cold glass of beer; feeding the fish in the lake; a bite to eat.

Sure, have a go on the gut-wrenching Demon rollercoaster or one of the other new rides, but remember to take a spin on the rickety old Odin Express rollercoaster or the little Ferris wheel.

All within earshot of the bells from the town hall. It’s a quintessential Danish experience.

Located between the Central Station and the Town Hall Square.

Everyday Japanese fare, far from the trendy sushi concept. Eat like the Japanese do at home. A small, cosy restaurant that comes highly recommended.
