April

Written by Kasper Syhler
Editor at VisitCopenhagen

Can you feel it? Spring is on its way. The sky is bluer, the temperature is slowly rising, people are losing their winter coats and moving outside to get a taste of the long-awaited spring sun (remember sunscreen). I'm on the same journey. The wool coat is stoved away in the attic and the sunglasses have reappeared from the drawer. I'm ready for April. I got 5 things scheduled. Stuff that I would both recommend and want to try myself. Come along, its spring.

Wine at Enghave Plads

Wine at Enghave Plads

After a few years of metro construction, Enghave Plads has really found itself again. The square is anew a Vesterbro favourite when it comes to outdoor hang-outs. I'm in love with Enghave Plads 9 which is now both a conventional bar, but also they are also serving wine to go. The recipe is simple, order a glass of cold white wine, find a place to sit in the sun and enjoy life.

A chilly dip at Kalvebod Brygge

A chilly dip at Kalvebod Brygge

I'm not a winter swimmer, but I can manage swimming in the spring. April is the month for the first dip, and Kalvebod Brygge is where I will kick off the swimming season. I will bring along coffee on the thermos and I will go on one of the nicer days when the sun is out. If Kalvebod Brygge isn't really on your way, there are plenty of other places along the harbour where you can jump in. Here's a guide to some of the good swimming spots in Copenhagen and the surrounding areas.

Burger, fries and a large coke

Burger, fries and a large coke

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that at times craves a really good burger, and I know just where to go for the next one; Tommi's burger joint. They serve seriously good burgers, with all the classic condiments. I imagine myself walking around the meatpacking district, absorbing the atmosphere. Get a little aperitif someplace and then go for a big juicy burger in the sun. But the city is full of good burgers, so if you're looking for alternatives, check out our guide to the best burgers in the city.

Underground japanese art

Underground japanese art

Recently a new exhibition by the Japanese artish Chiharu Shioto opened in Cisternerne in Søndermarken in Frederiksberg. The former underground water reservoir has been transformed into a dream-like parallel world, which I need to experience. The exhibition is called Multiple Realities and is described as both magical and disturbing. For me, it will be April's first dose of art. I will probably combine it with a stroll around a blooming Søndermarken.

Authentic bistro vibe at Jægersborggade

The last recommendation involves knives and forks. Yes, now we're going for top-shelf fresh fish, shellfish and natural wines. Silberbauers Bistro opened last spring and quickly became a go-to place for perfectly cooked fish, reasonable prices and authentic good vibes. The place is located at the still hip Jægersborggade at Nørrebro. They do welcome walk-ins but make reservations just to make sure to get a table. It's a popular place.

March

Written by Anders Nørland

March in Copenhagen can be chilly but as the days get longer and the temperature rises, the spring spirit slowly begins to spread. And while the weather may not be quite what we'd like it to be just yet, the city is luckily as cool to explore as always. Copenhagen is packed with hidden gems, fun activities, exciting culture, delicious eateries, and cozy bars. Here are some of the things on our personal bucket list for March.

Enjoy some good coffee at Darcy's Kaffe

Darcy's Kaffe is located on Ranzausgade in Nørrebro and has been around for a couple of years. If you (like myself) are a self-proclaimed coffee snob and haven't paid this coffee shop a visit yet, then now is the time. The coffee at Darcy's is brewed on beans from Coffee Collective, April, and La Cabra, and has been chosen as one of the best coffee shops in the city several times. Apart from great coffee, they also serve small dishes and a variety of delicious pastries.

Visit the Gaugin exhibition in Ordrupgaard Museum

Visit the Gaugin exhibition in Ordrupgaard Museum

The weather in March is often both cold and wet, and only a few activities are more appropriate in such weather than a visit to an art museum. Ordrupgaard Museum in the north of Copenhagen currently has a special exhibition of the works of expressionist painter, Paul Gaugin. Many of the works have never been shown in Denmark before, so this spring is a great time to pay Ordrupgaard a visit. In addition to the Gaugin exhibition, the museum also offers impressive architecture, contemporary art, and Danish design.

Join the morning cinema at Grand Theatre

A must-do on my bucket list for this month is to go to one of the morning shows at the Grand Theatre cinema. Every morning there are morning shows in the historic and cozy cinema in the city center. You can usually choose between 2-3 different movies and the ticket costs only 70 kroner and includes a hot cup of coffee or tea. If you start your day off by going to the movies, while sipping on hot coffee, it will certainly turn out to be a good day.

Participate in one of the many pub quizzes around the city

There's nothing like stepping into one of the city's cozy bars after a long day and having a well-deserved cold beer. And why just sit around when there are actually several bars in the city that regularly host fun quiz nights you can join? One of these places is Søhesten, which organizes a pub quiz every Tuesday. If you fancy a pub quiz on any other day of the week, you can also regularly find pub quizzes at fx Absalon or Studenterhuset.

Eat a(nother) fried chicken sandwich at Poulette

Eat a(nother) fried chicken sandwich at Poulette

It only takes one visit to Poulette to get you hooked on the ultra-crispy, spicy, and juicy fried chicken sandwiches. After a visit to the cozy little joint in January, their sandwiches have been stuck in my head and I've been unable to stop thinking about them. Therefore, the last thing on my bucket list for March must be to, once again, eat one of the amazing sandwiches. In addition to fried chicken, Poulette also offers fried Mapo Tofu as a vegetarian alternative and crispy spicy fries with mapo mayo on the side.
