An amazing Copenhagen experience if you want to take the trip (it's a little out of the way - but consider the habour busses) It's a small down too earth place - and if the weather is good you can sit outside with a nice view of the habour and also take a dip in the canal. They serve one meal - really nice food - and good wines.

Getting Around
Here you can rent a bike for just 50 kr a day! The best way to get around Copenhagen is by bike. So I recommed you rent a bike at Luca's and see the city from the saddle.
