An icon of Danish Modernism, Finn Juhl’s avant-garde design philosophy is most intimately expressed in his former home. Exemplifying functionalism and showcasing many of Juhl’s most revolutionary furniture designs, the residence is also one of the earliest examples of an open floor plan.

If you only have one day in Copenhagen, venture beyond the city limits to the serene shoreline of Øresund Sound. Here, you will find one of the world's more enthralling art collections housed in galleries of glass, brick, and steel — with works by Serra and Noguchi dispersed across the vast gardens.

Our favorite vintage store in Copenhagen, this discerning collection showcases the best of local and international designers. On a crowded street, through a short entry way, and up a curved staircase; Jerome may not be easy to find but it is well worth the effort.

Copenhagen is known for its seafood and there is no greater celebration of the ocean’s delights than here, at this unassuming yet transportive restaurant. Though we generally prefer an a la carte experience, the dégustation here is essential.

FRAMA is a Copenhagen-based design house working across furniture, apothecary, and objects, built on a philosophy of enduring materials and functional form over trend. Their flagship in Frederiksstaden is well worth the visit, housed in a former pharmacy that still carries its original 1878 fittings.

The setting of our lunch with I Love Beauty, Casa Lido, is an idyllic space for events, gatherings, pop-ups and workshops. Visit their public cafe, Lido. nextdoor for breakfast and coffee.

The premier destination for clean beauty in Denmark, Charlotte Torpegaard curates a tightly edited mix of clean skin care, makeup, hair and fragrance brands. Their small shop within Kongens Have pairs that selection with personal, one-on-one guidance.

Tucked into the corner of H.C. Ørstedsvej in Frederiksberg, Piola Pastificio's small Italian team turns out handmade pasta from a short, no-frills menu — a handful of antipasti, a few primi, two desserts, nothing more. Enjoy a slow-paced outdoor meal, or pull up to the counter for service.

Located inside the Egmont Media House on Vognmagergade, the LIÉ STUDIO flagship was designed by architect Julius Nielsen. The brand was founded by twin sisters Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard, our collaborators on the Balm Case Pendant. Try on the full jewelry and leather range in person, with staff on hand to advise.

On the water in Refshaleøen, La Banchina is our favorite place to swim. In the summer, plan to swim and lounge all day — with their small café serving up pastries, oysters, and natural wine. In the cooler months, book the sauna in advance and enjoy contrast therapy with a view.

Held in a 1960s brutalist building, Bar Vitrine is a walk-in wine bar where design house FRAMA, restaurateur Riccardo Marcon, and Noma alum chef Dhriti Arora serve natural wines alongside a rotating menu of Indian-inspired small plates. Our founder's favorite meal in Copenhagen.

Fresh sourdough and pastries, made with grain and dairy sourced from nearby farms — Juno is undoubtedly our favorite bakery in Copenhagen, and possibly the world. Everything is simple and delicious. We recommend the classic BMO, a vanilla bun, or any seasonal tart.

Step through galleries that trace Danish design from 18th-century royal craft to Verner Panton's plastic curves, then land in a courtyard garden built for lingering — the city's quietest green space, and easy to miss if you rush the exhibits to get there.
