Street food on rails

On the old DSB railway site, the large wooden barns have been transformed into the most beautiful oasis. BaneGaarden offers sourdough bakery Perron, a summer restaurant in the old greenhouse and a host of street food stalls from all corners of the world: fish n' chips, Indian butter chicken, Tunisian couscous or sweet and savoury crepes. 

The green oasis is surrounded by more than 1.5 hectares of wild nature with chickens, bees and blackberry bushes.

Get lost in the roof garden at IKEA

A short walk from Havneholmen, you'll find Copenhagen's new IKEA store, which has a fantastic roof garden at the top. Just take the elegant spiral staircase up, up, up and you'll find yourself in a beautiful garden with hundreds of trees and shrubs.

Sit on a bench and enjoy the view of the city's rooftops, the railways and not least the famous Cactus Towers. Access to the roof garden is free - even when IKEA is closed.

Jump into the harbour at Fisketorvet

Right next to the Fisketorvet shopping centre and just a five-minute walk from Havneholmen, you have a golden opportunity for a cold dip: Havnebadet Fisketorvet.

The pool offers three different pools to choose from: a 50-metre exercise pool, a diving pool with 1, 2 and 3 metre diving boards and a 70 cm deep children's pool. And you can safely dive into the waves, as the harbour bath has lifeguards on duty all summer long.

Shop everything your heart desires

Fisketorvet is one of Copenhagen's largest shopping centres with a unique location on the waterfront. Here you can shop in more than 120 stores with fashion, shoes, homeware, electronics and toys.

Under the same roof you will also find Scandinavia's largest cinema screen in Vue and Kajen, which is Fisketorvet's food universe with a roof terrace and over 30 different food concepts. 

Fisketorvet is open every day from 10-20.

French, Nordic and Asian in one

Beautiful and flavoursome dishes, full-bodied wines, a roaring fire and a view of the canals. It sounds almost too good to be true, but it is: Restaurant Herkomst has opened its doors in the old warehouse from 1917, combining French, Nordic and Asian cuisine in the finest way.

The restaurant seats 115 guests and can also be booked for birthdays, weddings or corporate events.
