1. When does Copenhagen feel most like your city?

"Copenhagen always feels like my city despite my Jutlandic roots. Perhaps most of all when I return home after being away. And Copenhagen in the summer is the best place on the planet."

I've sometimes found myself in the rooftop pool at Villa Copenhagen in the evening, looking over at Tivoli. In many ways, it's quite unique for a big city.

2. Which place in the city do you always return to?

"I love people watching and drinking coffee on Værnedamsvej."

3. What is your best tip for a unique experience in Copenhagen?

"I've sometimes found myself in the rooftop pool at Villa Copenhagen in the evening, looking over at Tivoli. In many ways it's quite unique for a big city. We take Tivoli for granted because we're used to it, but it really is a very special feature of Copenhagen. And hey, who doesn't love a rooftop pool?"

With My Copenhagen, we take you on a surprising journey through the city where famous Copenhageners and local legends share their hidden gems.

4. What hidden gem in the city is almost too good to share?

"It's probably not hidden, but Alice on Amager is just a brilliant place. It's also my favourite place, but I'm not alone in that. The queue is as long as the bread is good!"

5. Which metro station is your favourite?

"I love Gammel Strand. It's well located, but you also get a futuristic experience going up and down in the metro. Light has a huge impact on our experience of a space, and the art we surround ourselves with in our infrastructure means more than we realise."

Jesper Binzer: "Sailing around the canals, jumping in the water and drinking canned beer is awesome"

My Copenhagen: The D-A-D rock star loves the atmosphere of the canals and the small places in the city, but often ends up with good friends at the local coffee shop on Amager. Discover the best of Copenhagen with Jesper Binzer.

Aura Dione: "I love cycling over Dronning Louise Bridge in the evening sun and watching the city glow"

My Copenhagen: For singer Aura Dione, Copenhagen is a city that feels like youth, love and creative chaos all at once. She is particularly inspired by Dannerhuset and the small paths of Christiania.

Thomas Skov: "If you have your antennas out, there are experiences everywhere"

My Copenhagen: Podcast host Thomas Skov especially loves Copenhagen in springtime, and for him the greatest experiences are in the small things - like when the sun falls just right on Carlsberg Byen or he eats a roll at his local kebab shop with his kids.
