Rådhus City Hall At red-brick Rådhus (City Hall) the main hall is certainly grand enough - but it’s more interesting to climb the 105m clock tower to visit Jens Olsens Clock, built at a cost of a million kroner in the early 1900s. |

 |
Being charmed by Tivoli In the heart of the city, Tivoli is a charming combination of amusement rides, gardens, food pavilions and open-air stage shows. In the evening, between the nightlights and flowerbeds, Tivoli is a sweet place to stroll – or to watch a fantastic fireworks display which kicks off at 11:45pm on Saturdays. |

Traditional Danish meal A deservedly popular spot, Cap Horn specializes in Danish fare and uses mainly organic ingredients. Grab a lunch plate of three open-faced sandwiches, a two-course meal of herring, steak and potatoes, and wash it down with a river of beer. |
|
 |
Old-style Danish brunch The elegant bare wood of charming, old-style Scandinavian establishment Bastionen & Løven is reason enough to come, but on a sunny day you’ll find yourself yearning to sit outside in the tranquil windmill-by-the-water setting. The whole place feels like a wonderful secret – although the weekend brunch sessions can get mighty packed with local regulars. |
