Imagine Jetting Off To Copenhagen, a Beautiful Scandinavian City. It’s Time to Indulge…
Frederiksberg — An Enclave of Wonderful Copenhagen
Transport — Bicycle or Travelcard
Go to the main railway station and buy a personalized travel card. It’s cheaper than an anonymous one. You fill it up using a credit card and check in and out on buses, trains and even the harbor boat.
You can go all over the country with it and it is cheaper to travel with outside of rush hours.
There are bicycles all over the city for rent; again, use your credit card to release them from the stand:
Nørreport is the biggest public transport hub in the country. Take the metro from here (or directly from the airport) to Frederiksberg, two stops. Check in and out every time.
My favorite places to eat are The South Indian on Godthåbsvej and Coffee Queen on Smallegade. I live in Frederiksberg, a stinking-rich enclave of Copenhagen. I’m not rich; I just was in the right place at the right time and got a great rent-controlled apartment right in the middle of everything.
Slagter Friis on Falkoner Alle is an old-fashioned butcher shop; you can get warm “frikadeller” here for a hefty snack and good-quality victuals with polite and friendly service.
If you’re a vegan, there’s a vegan shop called Astrid och Aporna on Christian Winthers Vej, close to the junction with Falkoner Alle, right next to Coco’s Minimarket, a vegetable shop that sometimes has great offers.
It’s about one minute’s walk from the front entrance to Frederiksberg shopping center which is integrated with the metro:
There’s an entrance to the romantic Frederiksberg Gardens on Smallegade. Go past the town hall, past the car park, then there’s a path, Andebakkesti, leading into the park. Coffee Queen is between Cortigiano and Sanshin Sushi:
There’s another entrance to Frederiksberg Gardens at Frederiksberg Circus (Rundel) and the T-junction comprising Pile Alle, Allegade and Frederiksberg Alle:
Frederiksberg Alle is a magnificent primarily-residential boulevard with a parisian feel, often referred to as Denmark’s Champs Elysees:
There’s a commercial street called Gammel Kongevej that runs parallel to Frederiksberg Alle. It’s a beautiful street with a lot of speciality shops; have your credit card ready.
There are lots of photos from Frederiksberg in this article:
