CITY GUIDES

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen, Denmark
A city known for its art, culture, and its superlative design — read on for some of our essential experiences in the Danish capital.
Copenhagen, Denmark
(1) DESIGNMUSEUM DENMARK

A monument to Danish and International design, gallery after gallery of this expansive museum reveals the revolutionary and ornate — with an emphasis on the most groundbreaking, sculptural furniture design of the twentieth century.

(2) FINN JUHL HOUSE

LESSE City Guide Copenhagen Finn Juhl House

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.

LESSE City Guide Copenhagen Louisiana Museum of Art

(3) THE LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

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.

LESSE City Guide Copenhagen Jerome Vintage

(4) JEROME VINTAGE

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.

LESSE City Guide Copenhagen Iluka Restaurant

(5) ILUKA

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.
