Romantic Things To Do in Copenhagen – Beyond the Tourist Traps
🍰 Start with sweetness: La Glace
Tucked behind the busy streets of Copenhagen lies La Glace, the oldest and most beloved patisserie in Denmark. Step inside this elegant little bakery, and you’re instantly transported back in time – velvet chairs, mirror walls, and cakes so beautiful they almost feel too special to eat.
Whether you’re on a first date, honeymoon or traveling solo with a taste for joy, this is the perfect place to slow down and indulge in a little sweetness.
And when you’re done, something even more unforgettable is waiting…
❤️ Then… create your own heart
Just a short bike ride away, in a private home on Frederiksberg, a very different kind of magic happens. You’re invited to join a small and cozy workshop where you’ll learn to weave traditional Danish paper hearts – a craft that dates back to Hans Christian Andersen.
But this is not just about paper and glue.
It’s about meeting people.
It’s about moments of calm.
It’s about weaving something personal – and taking it home as a memory that lasts longer than any souvenir.
One guest even proposed during the workshop – and we all cried happy tears.
That’s the kind of experience this is 💛
🗓 Book your seat – and feel the real Copenhagen
Our paper heart workshop is hosted by a local (that’s me!) and takes place in a peaceful home setting with coffee, tea and a warm atmosphere.
It’s perfect for couples, solo travelers and friends who want to do something meaningful, creative and very, very Danish.
