1. When does Copenhagen feel most like your city?

"At night, when there aren't many other cars on the roads. And I drive around the city center, listening to demos and coming up with new ideas."

My guilty pleasure is Pantella on Nørrebrogade, which makes the most delicious pancakes and donuts.

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

“Christianshavn. I have memories on every street corner. And that part of town is steeped in history, diversity, and a sense of openness. I actually even have a tattoo of Our Savior’s Church on one of my legs.”

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

"Friday Rock at Tivoli on August 21 at 7 p.m.😜"

With My Copenhagen, we take you on a surprising journey through the city, where well-known Copenhageners share their hidden gems.

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

“Botanical Garden. All of us Copenhageners mostly go to Kongens Have or walk around the Lakes. But right in between lies the Botanical Garden, which we all know but very few of us actually visit. It’s truly the most beautiful little oasis if you’re looking for some peace and quiet or new inspiration. Otherwise, Frederiksberg Garden is my go-to nature experience in the city.”

5. Which metro station is your favorite?

"Kongens Nytorv—as soon as you step onto the square, you’ll see beautiful historic buildings wherever you look … ❤️"
