Shopping
Fisketorvet – Copenhagen Mall. Fairly large mall with a broad selection of shops. Everything from restaurants to clothing shops. You will find H&M, Zara, McDonalds and lots of other shops here. The entrance is by the small round about on the map.
If you go there by bicycle, be sure to use the cycle bridge and thereby take a huge shortcut over the water :-)
