Copenhagen, Denmark
The food in Copenhagen will blow your mind! From basic to Michelin stars (15 restaurants = a total of 18 stars), you will find an incredible respect for local, seasonal ingredients, a celebration of the garden and seriously inventive options.

to & from
We flew direct from San Francisco (SFO) to Copenhagen (CPH) on SAS Airlines. Easy commute from airport to City Center or other neighborhoods by public transportation. This link is super useful: http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/transportation/and-airport.
Where to Stay
We booked the most fabulous AirBnB in Vesterbro, a newly up and coming neighborhood close to City Center. (Link to our AirBnB here.) We were at the complete opposite end of the area still known as the Red Light District. There’s low crime in Copenhagen but you want to avoid the top end of Istedgade near the Central Station. We were in a hip part of Vesterbro with amazing coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, bars and hangout spots and parks. It was totally safe and our block was incredibly quiet. The Danes love their design and our apartment had inspiration in every room and every corner.

Where to Stay
Many options depending on what area and level of lodging you would like. We stayed at Urban House – which is one of those high end hostel/hotel combination. Our room was teeny tiny, but was modern touches in a classic building. We loved the view of the architecture around us. Urban House is a 3 minute walk from the Central Station (which runs trains directly to/from CPH) and a 5 minute walk from Tivoli Gardens.
