The Monocle Travel Guide to Copenhagen: The Monocle Travel Guide Series: 15 Hardcover – Illustrated, 24 Oct. 2016

Denmark s capital really is filled with design-savvy people with chic homes who are only a quick pedal from some of the world s finest restaurants and creative retail shops.

But there s much more than this to enchant visitors. A recent building boom has filled the skyline with innovative and visually bamboozling residential and civic structures, the hotel industry is heating up and, thanks to the infamously sky-high taxes, the well-funded cultural scene is kicking. So saddle up: the Monocle Travel Guide to Copenhagen is on hand to take you for a ride through the city's many and varied delights.

The Monocle Travel Guide Series reveals the best spots in each city, from the ideal route for an early-morning run to the best streets for independent retail. Full of surprises and quirks, they also feature detailed design and architecture pages, neighbourhood walks that take you away from the crowds and choice places to eat, be it for tasty fast food or something truly celebratory.

The Monocle Travel Guide Series: Copenhagen

Followers 1

Product description

Copenhagen: The Monocle Travel Guide Series is your guide to the bicycle-filled streets, world-class restaurants, bustling cultural life and the design and architectural scene of the charming Danish capital. Published by Gestalten, the Monocle travel guides provide a comprehensive and compact package of facts, colour photos, maps and suggestions for neighbourhood walks. Besides the must-see places, the books guide you to going beyond the conventional and discovering the hidden spots.

Bicycles. Mid-century modern furniture. New Nordic cuisine. These are likely to be some of the first things that spring to mind when you think of Copenhagen.

And with good reason: Denmark’s capital really is filled with design-savvy people with chic homes who are only a quick pedal from some of the world’s finest restaurants. But there’s more than this to enchant the visitor. A recent building boom has filled the skyline with innovative and visually bamboozling residential and civic structures, the hotel industry is heating up and, thanks to the infamously sky-high taxes, the well-funded cultural scene is kicking.

The Monocle Travel Guide to Copenhagen will lead you through the maze of top-notch places to dine and drink, the magazine-spread-ready homeware and fashion retailers and the most engaging museums and galleries. We’ll point out the architecture and infrastructure gems that best illustrate how a little forward-planning has resulted in one of the world’s most liveable cities. For good  measure  we’ll also reveal our favourite neighbourhoods and grooming spots. So saddle up and join us for a wheel through Copenhagen’s many and varied delights.

This British Airways Sale Has Flights Across the Pond Starting at $497 — When to Book

The sale ends on June 11.

extravagantni/Getty Images

British Airways is hoping to make dreams of a trip across the pond this summer a reality with its latest flight sale.

The sale , which must be booked by 11:59 ET on June 11, is available across the airline’s 26 different routes in the United States to popular destinations all over the world, British Airways shared with Travel + Leisure . Valid travel dates and blackout dates vary by destination and cabin booked. 

“For those dreaming of jetting away this summer – it’s not too late,” Colm Lacy, the chief commercial officer for British Airways, said in a statement shared with T+L. “The British Airways sale includes flight savings to exciting destinations across the UK, Europe, Dubai and India, and big discounts on vacation packages. There’s never been a better time to book that special trip and create memories that will last a lifetime.”

Travel from Los Angeles to Copenhagen with flights starting at just $497 roundtrip, or from San Francisco to London starting at just $548 roundtrip. 

Passengers can also fly in style with business class seats to London starting at $2,549 roundtrip from New York or Boston, starting at $2,899 roundtrip from Baltimore or Washington D.C., and starting at $3,599 roundtrip from Los Angeles.

The sale includes travel on British Airways-operated flights as well as flights to Britain and to Europe on the airline’s Oneworld Alliance partners: American Airlines, Iberia, and Finnair.

In addition, British Airways is offering up to $600 off vacation packages. Book a trip from New York to London, for example, starting at $759 per person for a flight and five night hotel package, or book a trip from New York to Rome with a flight and five night hotel package starting at $829 per person.

The sale comes on the heels of JetBlue and British Airways submitting a codeshare agreement to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). If approved, it would join the other codeshare agreements British Airways currently has with American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.

2 Day Copenhagen Itinerary

Day 1 morning: explore norrebro and superkilen.

For your first morning in Copenhagen, fuel up on coffee and pastries in Norrebro. This multicultural neighborhood has hip cafes, international eateries, and an energetic vibe.

While wandering the trendy cafes and diverse eateries of Norrebro, you can fuel up before tackling the many wonderful things to do in Copenhagen .

After breakfast, head to Superkilen Urban Park to soak up the international essence of the neighborhood. An urban park designed by architects to celebrate diversity, Superkilen features objects and artifacts from 60 different nationalities around the world.

Go for a jog, chat with locals, and enjoy the quirky installations like neon signs from Russia and palm trees from China. It’s the perfect place to soak up the international essence of Norrebro.

Day 1 Afternoon: Rosenborg Castle, National Museum, and Nyhavn

After working up an appetite wandering Tivoli, make your way over to Rosenborg Castle, home to the Danish crown jewels and artifacts. Marvel at the ornate ceilings and royal furnishings as you explore this Renaissance castle.

Don’t miss the Treasury exhibition in the basement, where you can admire the crowns and jewels up close.

Next, dive into Denmark’s history and culture at the National Museum just around the corner. It houses everything from Viking ships to medieval religious art. Be sure to see the bronze Sun Chariot from the 3rd century BC – it documents an incredible array of ancient Nordic bronze works.

Once you’ve had your fill of history, take a scenic stroll over to Nyhavn, Copenhagen’s iconic waterfront district. Snap some photos of the colorful gabled townhouses lining the canal.

Stop for an open-faced smoked salmon sandwich and a Carlsberg beer at one of the restaurants with outdoor seating. Wave to boaters passing by as you soak up the vibrant atmosphere along the waterfront.

Day 1 Evening: Torvehallerne Market and Tivoli at Night

For dinner, make your way over to Torvehallerne Market, just a short walk from Nørreport Station. It’s an indoor food market with over 60 vendors selling fresh produce, artisan breads, cheeses, cured meats, chocolate, and more.

Grab ingredients for the perfect picnic dinner or try samples from some of Copenhagen’s top eateries and food shops.

Once you’ve eaten, end your first day back at Tivoli Gardens. The amusement park takes on a magical atmosphere at night when over a million twinkling lights illuminate the grounds.

Take a spin on the Ferris Wheel or Rollercoaster for an epic view of the city lights before watching the nightly fireworks show over the lake. It’s the perfect way to end an evening in Copenhagen.

A Copenhagen packing list should include multiple layers for keeping warm at the Torvehallerne Market and Tivoli Gardens.

Day 2 Morning: Christiania and Church of Our Saviour

On your second day, fuel up on coffee and head over to the infamous Freetown Christiania, a self-proclaimed autonomous neighborhood with art galleries, eateries, and music venues.

Wander along the car-free streets and canals, taking in the creative and free-spirited vibe. Don’t miss wandering down Pusher Street, where independent stalls and stands now sell handmade goods after the area’s former seedy past.

Next, climb the winding 400 steps to the top of the Church of Our Saviour’s spiral tower for stunning panoramic views of Copenhagen.

On a clear day, you can see as far as Sweden across the Öresund Strait. Don’t worry – you can take a breather on the landings on the way up. Trust me, battling the steps is worth it for the sweeping city vistas.

Day 2 Afternoon: Design Museum Denmark, Canal Tour, and Christiana

After you’ve caught your breath, cross over the bridge to Slotsholmen Island for a taste of Danish design at Design Museum Denmark. View iconic furniture like minimalist chairs, as well as exhibits highlighting Denmark’s leadership in modern design principles and architecture.

Then embark on a laidback canal tour to relax and enjoy Copenhagen from the water. Cruise by The Little Mermaid statue, Amalienborg Palace, the Black Diamond library, and the colorful houses of Nyhavn. It’s the perfect way to get your bearings while basking in Copenhagen’s charm from a new vantage point.

Once you return to land, take some time to browse the trendy shops and boutiques on Strøget and grab a smørrebrød for a late lunch. Duck into Royal Copenhagen if you want to take home some signature Danish porcelain.

Spend your final hours back at one of my favorite spots – Christiania. Explore the creative DIY homes and soak up the communal, bohemian atmosphere. Don’t miss grabbing a craft beer at Månefiskeren, sitting by the canals taking in street music performances before you have to jet off.
