Food Scene
Kalaset
16 VendersgadeGreat decor and good food. Very hip and old fashioned.
They have 1 set menu and a vegetarian option that changes every week or so. The food is always fantastic, based on the season and well presented. They have great wine as well and the staff is super friendly and know a lot about the food and wine they are serving. My favorite place for a typical yet classy Danish dinner. It is not super big, so reservations are recommended.

At WeFood they want to minimize food waste. So they receive wast and supplies from stores where the product might have a wrong label or close to "best before"-date. It varies what they have. But it is cheap and you support a great cause.

Amagerstrand Minigolf
8 DykkerstienDont take the expensive tour boats with DFDS you see first when going to Nyhavn. Take the Netto boats instead. They are on the right side of the harbour only 20 meters further down. They are half price (appr. 40 kr = 5,5 Euro).
The boat tour is great and takes about 45 min. You will see The Little Mermaide and all the big and important buildings/places around the city center.
I reccoment starting your sightseeing here!

Istedgade is a very diverse street. Close to the Central Train station its not that great. But the further you go west towards Enghave plads (st.) the better it gets. There is a lot of local shops, cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and bars.
