CPH with My Mom

Towards the beginning of mom's visit, we decided to spend the day in Copenhagen enjoying the food and atmosphere. The Copenhagen Jazz Festival was going on so we would randomly run across jazz bands playing on various squares and street corners in the city. It was fun!


We had lunch at this slightly expensive but fabulous cafe in Nyhavn called Barock. Considering the location, it is about the same price as any other restaurant in the area. We picked it because they had a lot more choices than just fish and smørbrød. My mom had a GREAT carbonara and I had a fabulous gourmet burger. It was really relaxing to sit along the canal and people watch. Sure you can find cheaper places to eat but the view makes it worth it!

Not too far from the Little Mermaid, we found this gem of a luxury sailboat. I went and checked out their website curious about the prices and surprise surprise none were to be found. The picture doesn't do it justice and I can just imagine how it looks with full sails up. As nice as it is, I think it would probably be a little too foofoo fancy for our tastes!

After wandering around town a bit more and shopping a whole whole lot, we had an early dinner at a tapas bar called Biscaya near the central station. It was ok, but nothing to get too excited about. Definitely not somewhere I am itching to go back to again soon.

It was a fun day and we managed to actually have some nice weather. There is still so much more I want to show mom around town, but I guess that is what future visits are for!
