A local’s guide to Copenhagen: Viking treasure, wild swimming and secret dancefloors

Full of fabulous architecture, waterways, parks and museums … No wonder it’s such a great place to live, says the Time Out Copenhagen author

In a town renowned for its bakeries, airy Hart’s Bageri on the islet neighbourhood of Holmen is a favourite. It serves amazing pastries and cakes, like the apple-bottom spandauer and cardamom croissants, and bakes perhaps the best sourdough bread in Copenhagen. It’s part of a foodie corner facing the colourful harbour of Nyhavn that includes outdoor food market Broens Gadekøkken and Popl, a burger joint run by veterans of Noma (the five-time winner of the world’s best restaurant) that serves organic beef, veggie and vegan varieties.
