It's a trendy super market in Copenhagen with over 60 stands selling dry fruits, fresh vegetables and fruits, gourmet chocolate and exotic spices and just about everything you can imagine.

Things to do
Engage with Copenhagen in these lovely ways
Place
Sumedha:Nestled in a trendy neighbourhood, this fascinating free town is tax free and governed by its own laws. It represents an alternative lifestyle of free thinkers. A canal, surrounded by trees and small colorful houses, separates Christinia from Copenhagen’s mainland. It is a car free zone and so the inhabitants of Christania came up with their own mode of transport, the famous Christiania bike. I love these bikes, the innovation and practicality that the design reflects is truly unique. Do you know, people now use these bikes all over Copenhagen for various activities, even to sell food. How cool is that!

Sumedha:I lived minutes away from this picturesque heritage harbour. The vibrant colourful renovated townhouses from the 18th century make this an iconic site of Copenhagen. A very popular spot for locals and tourists both. Soak up the atmosphere as you relax with some food and wine, a coffee and some fries or the delicious ice cream and waffles served by the quayside. Plenty of overpriced touristy restaurants, and so I would recommend to just get the waffles or ice cream for the experience. For dining, go to a more local and cozy place as there are plenty in Copenhagen
