Hey all!

I'm vising Copenhagen early Feb with my girlfriend and would be interested in adding to my tattoo collection

Has anyone got any studio recommendations? I primarily like Traditional style tattoos!

Thanks all

I have a nice acoustic guitar and an essentially brand new computer monitor that I need to get rid of in a hurry because I'm unexpectedly moving. In the UK, I'd take them to a charity shop, but all the charity shops I've seen here in Copenhagen have been more or less exclusively selling clothes. Does anyone have any recommendations for somewhere that might take these items? Thanks!

I've been to Copenhagen many times and I exploring and going on 25-30KM walks all around the municipality.

During the summer, I was walking along some busy paths that were being used by pedestrians and cyclists.

I usually default to walking on the left (so I'm facing the oncoming traffic, be it car or bike or whatever) but I found that a lot of cyclists clearly see me, but either refuse to move, or they pass me and miss me by a few centimetres.

During that same walk, I saw a group of people walking on the right... which made me question if I was actually in the wrong? I even switched over to the right and walked behind them so I wasn't totally blocking the path.

The attached photo was taken on the path I was walking on, so I'm not really doubting if I was "technically" walking on the correct side... But I hate feeling like an annoying tourist when I'm exploring places so I want to make sure that I'm not doing anything wrong or breaking any etiquette rules that I'm not aware of 😅

Thanks ☺️

Hello hello, I'm new to Copenhagen and finding myself missing some activities. Does anyone play a game of DnD looking for new players?

Thanks!

I just wanted to write here and say BEWARE OF BICYCLE THIEVES AT AVEDØRE STATION IN HVIDOVRE. They will slash, bend and smash the tires after stealing all valuable parts, and just leave them in the tunnel below.

Here is what happened: I use my bicycle for my daily commute but due to recent health issues, I decided to take the train instead during the last week. I parked it at Avedøre station for a few days during the day and took the S-tog . I ride the bike home in the evening and bring it back to the station in the morning and lock it at the parking lot until I return from work. Last Friday, I walked home instead and left my bike at the station. When I returned on Sunday to retrieve it, it was not there. Hoping that the thief left it somewhere nearby, I browsed through the nearby parking areas today and surely, found my bike at the tunnel below the station. The thief did not cut through the lock but instead, stole the gears from the tires! They also smashed the front basket and made huge dents and the tires are slashed and bent in different places... It's almost as if the bike has been hit by a car or something. I have not taken it to a repair shop yet, but I am pretty sure it will be difficult to salvage it from its current state. I am upset and sad because I searched for this specific bicycle style and size for months before purchasing it from another city. Although it is not an expensive one, worth tens of thousands of DKK, it holds a sentimental value to me as it was the first ever bicycle that I owned (I am from a country where cycling is not popular).

Since moving to CPH 2 years ago, I never had problems like this when I lived in different districts, including Nørrebro. So, it was a shock to experience something like this for the first time. This experience serves as a valuable lesson for me in the future and hopefully for anyone reading this. Lock your bike somewhere safe if possible and never park it at sketchy station lots for a long period.

To the thief/thieves: YOU ARE THE SCUM OF SOCIETY AND VERY DEFINITION OF INDECENCY. KARMA WILL SERVE YOU ONE DAY.

Hej med jer. Jeg skal i Tivoli i morgen, og som jeg kan læse mig frem til, er det kun nogle af forlystelserne der har åben her i december. Nogle der kan fortælle, hvilke der er lukket?

Any suggestions for a place in central Copenhagen to get a reusable advent calendar? It should be small-ish, made of a sustainable material, maybe cloth.

Thanks for your suggestions!

So I need help making sure I'm planning this correctly and have time for the things in each day. Some days feel emptier than others and I've been told this is a lot for each day so if any locals can help it'd be appreciated! Also would like any recs!

Hi!! I'm having my first julefrokost this Friday and I'm a bit lost with what to bring... I know I need my own drinks (small company) but they also talk about small presents (I'm guessing to give each other). What kind of gifts are usual?

This was the invitation:

Kære deltagere til vores julefrokost. Jeg videreformidler fra festudvalget. Vi mødes kl 18 i place of meeting og vi skal hver især have 2 små pakker med, egne drikkevarer og jeres flotte juletøj på.

Any help with the traditions is welcome 🤗

And any easy traditions for expats you want to recommend is also appreciated ♥️

Hi Copenhagen,

We are four friends getting together for a Julefrokost. We are staying at my place and we want to order catering/take-away Danish julefrokost food. All places I've found so far requires 8 or 10 persons minimum to make the order.
Anyone know of a place that does catering down to 4 people? Or any alternatives?

For those who got married in CPH, did you have to go to the city hall a day before the wedding in the city hall? To submit documents? This is after getting the marriage certificate! We didn’t see ang instructions about this in their approval letter.

We're trying to see if we can do it on the same day since we are on a time crunch during this trip.

I know I read something about this before but I can't seem to find it again :(

Hvad betyder dette skilt ved Valby Strand? At man må standse men ikke parkere på pladsen, og at man ikke engang må standse, i rabatten?

I fucked up and was on my way home, sans mobile.' Some dude grabbed it and made sure I got it again

Any females that experience more hair loss since living in Denmark? I hear about the water being blamed (tab, showering). If there is somebody that found solutions to prevent hair loss, I’m grateful for advices :). It is not my intention to enter a detailed hormonal discussion.

Hi Copenhagen! We are a couple who are into swinging. We will be visiting Copenhagen soon and are very excited to explore the city.

What website are the Danish using to meet other swingers?

I'm aware that Cafe Miao has closed, but are there any others? Whenever I travel I like to try and find one so that I can get some feline energy, since I'm away from my babies at home.

If there isn't, do you think there is a "demand" for one? I know the coffee culture in the Scandinavian countries is intense, which I love, but do you think it would have people interested in one?

Just curious, from Canada. :)

Hey, I just booked a table for new year's eve at ProudMary's Pub, but just noticed that the minimum age for them to enter is 20. Since I'm in a group with multiple ages from 18 to 23, I wanted to ask you if 20 years old is the minimum age to get to enter in every pub or club in Copenhagen or if that's only ProudMary's Pub policy.

Hi everyone,

I’m a 23-year-old Danish guy living in Copenhagen, and I’ve been feeling a bit lonely lately. The social circles I’m in just aren’t as fulfilling as I’d like, so I’m hoping to meet some new, like-minded people.

A bit about me: I have Asperger’s, which means I sometimes approach social situations differently, but I enjoy getting to know people and having meaningful conversations. One important thing to note is that I don’t drink alcohol, so I’m looking for people who’d enjoy hanging out in non-drinking settings.

I’m into relaxed activities like going for walks, discussing hobbies, trying out new cafes, or diving into niche interests. If any of this sounds like your kind of vibe, or if you have advice on making new connections, I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks for reading, and I’m looking forward to chatting with some of you :)

How do you become a consultant / external software developer in Copenhagen and which consultancies can you recommend?

I've been a software dev for 6+ years now and I always have some colleagues that are "External Consultants" and they seem to get much more money for basically doing the same job (+ also seem much happier for some reason), but I honestly have no idea where to start looking because e.g. LinkedIn is usually full of "normal" full-time jobs.

Would love to hear your opinions and experiences on that topic as well!

Me and my family moved to Copenhagen 20 years ago. I just recently visited my old hometown, and was amazed how unfriendly people were compared to Copenhagen! Kudos from me to Copenhagens citizens this hangover saturday!

The behaviour in the traffic is a different story 😆

Kære Københavnere Gave søges til min partner 🎁 Jeg søger et bagekursus, hvor man bliver klogere og bedre til at lave surdejsbrød- og boller (gerne med mulighed for at nørde emnet på kurset). Meyers kursus har været afprøvet for nogle år siden - og det var udmærket. Men måske har én af jer prøvet et kursus et andet sted, som i vil anbefale? 🙏🏼

Does anyone know of any stores that sell it there?
