Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, and you can still find traces of the Norse explorers here. Visit reconstructed villages, the remains of a 1,000-year-old castle, and museums dedicated to the notorious raiders. Copenhagen also features a blend of modern architecture and historical artifacts such as the Round Tower observatory – a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture. Art galleries, narrow streets, canals, parks, and Baroque churches round out the city’s cultural attractions.

Unique artwork. Colourfull mosaic tiles covering walls, floors and celings in a big 3D-artwork. Made by late artist and decorator Manuel Tafat. The artwork started in 1996 when Copenhagen was announced Cultural City. The artist was inspired by Joan Miro, Matisse and Antonio Gaudi.

The National Gallery is one of the strong art institutions in Copenhagen. The collection spans many centuries with a whole wing dedicated to 20c Danish Art (Hilbershom and the like), and another to modern "french" art with some excellent Matisse, Braque and Picassos.There is a nice modern addition to the already expansive older front. It is very nicely laid out and engaging, even to the point of providing a room for sketching and drawing. Some of the audios were very interesting. Temporary exhibition was educational. Cafeteria is beautiful and yummy. Danish modern design permeates throughout

Alfons' (Skelbækgade 42) is a wine bar with carefully selected wine ranging from classical Bourgogne to hip nature wine. Come visit and find your favorite.
We were in the meatpacking district for dinner and walked past this wine bar as we started to head home. We were drawn to it by the cute interior and decided to get a nightcap. What a cozy space--just a few tables and eclectic chairs and, in typical Danish fashion, perfect lighting. The server was super-nice and knowledgable and we enjoyed our selections of a petnat and a funky orange wine. Great atmosphere; a perfect way to end the night. I look forward to returning!
