Can anyone tell me what this blue glowing building is?

Hi, does anyone know a place where I can get fresh dough in Copenhagen? I have only seen the frozen options in supermarkets.

Hello everyone, I need some advice. It's a long post, so sorry in advance.

I'm a guy in my 30s, I have been living in Denmark for about 2 years, and since I got a job in Hillerød I moved there, in order to be close to both the station and my work (basically walking distance from both). Before then my company provided me with a temporary 3 months accommodation in Nordhavn (since I came from abroad), but the house was terrible, the bathroom was minuscule, and the commute was tiring.

However living in Hillerød makes me feel isolated and lonely sometimes. Most of my weekends I am in Copenhagen, and if there is an event that ends late, I often book a hostel for the night instead of spending more than 1 hour to get home. It's not ideal.

So, now that I've experienced living in both places, I am pondering my choices: moving in Denmark can be stressful and expensive (for one most of the deposit is usually lost), so I want to really think about this (thus the long post).

Location-wise a compromise could be a great solution, so I thought of a place close to an A line (S-tøg) station, between Hillerød and the city center (let's say Nørreport): this would let me have a reasonable commute in both directions. By looking at the A line (S-tøg) map, I was thinking of these areas/stations: Lyngby, Hellerup, Svanemøllen. I also naively thought that, being outside of the city, this would also reduce my rent, but I heard that those areas are pretty expensive.

Regarding my price range, for a 2 room apartment of about 60 m2 (66 according to the contract), I pay 11.4k, vand og varme included. Since I would want the move to benefit me, it would be nice to not pay more than 11k in my new place, but from what I heard this is unrealistic, especially if I aim to those areas on the A-line. Let's say I don't want to pay more than 12k.

However, by asking around, I know people that live in Søborg that pay less than 9k for their apartment. Of course, living there would mean having a long commute to work and having a smaller apartment, but not only I would be closer to the city, but at that price it would be amazing.

And this is where I need your advice: even though I have been living here for a while, I suck at this. I do not know which areas to look for to have reasonable prices, and what would be the pros/cons of said areas. I though that "further from the city = cheap, closer to the city = expensive", but then how can Søborg be way cheaper than Hillerød? I guess it's simplistic on my part.

To summarize:

• How much should I expect to pay for rent in A-line areas like Lyngby, Hellerup, Svanemøllen nowadays? Which would be best, considering my story?
• Which areas should I look at for cheaper rents in/around Copenhagen (e.g. Søborg)? At some point I might just bite the bullet and endure a longer commute; maybe I suffered from it more before, as I was not used to my new life
• Do area specific sites exist, or should I just spam boligportal until I find something decent?

I realize that my tone can sound demanding and full of complaints from my post, but I actually love my life in Denmark: I am simply looking to improve it even more. Worst case I'll just keep being a hermit for a while until I can afford to buy a place in Copenhagen :) Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a few KG of grains like barley and buckwheat that I can’t eat at home due to allergies. Back in the UK I’d donate them to a food bank, is that a possibility here in Copenhagen?

All in date and unopened

Hi all:) I'm looking for some recommendations from you. My partner soon is achieving a huge milestone and I would like to take her out for dinner somewhere nice. Let's say around 1500dkk for both including a glass of wine each maybe, I'm flexible!

Tysand tak guys Ps: she prefers not to eat meat. Rest is fine Ps2: it can be located outside the city too

As the title says, I’m struggling with an ingrown toenail currently and would like to get it treated as it’s becoming somehow infected.

I’ve seen other posts recommending going to a doctor and getting a referral for an orthopedic surgeon, but the problem is I’m here for two months as a tourist so I don’t have an adress or a doctor. So if anyone has any helpful info I’d really appreciate it.

Hej derud. Er pt på sabbat år og er blevet rigtig interesseret i Urban exploring ig rooftopping. Så jeg ville høre om der ikke var nogen der kendte nogle steder hvor man lovligt eller ulovligt kunne komme op på kbhs tage?

Tak

Where is the truck? Its mental and packed in bars and everyone is waiting for it. What is the point of all this? Getting sus of the truck -- is it real?

Hey!

I’ve been applying through Linkedin and workindenmark for quite a while ( some months ) and I didn’t even get an interview.

-5 years of work experience, currently working in Big4

-I’ve been learning Danish for 3 years, but I’m not that good at speaking

What else should I try? I also tried to find a local recruiting agency, that can guide me to some jobs.

Thanks!

Hej folkens,

Jeg har lige købt en ejerlejlighed i København K.

Der har tidligere været et altan projekt som blev nedstemt fordi der ikke var nok der mødte op til general forsamlingen, da det kræver kvalificeret flertal (66,6%) for at det bliver vedtaget. Der er lavet lidt benarbejde der viste at 78% af de adspurgte gerne vil have altan og 5% gerne vil vide mere.

Hvad er jeres erfaringer med at få gennemført et altan projekt? Specielt er jeg interesseret i af hvordan man takler modstand og at projektet bliver nedstemt pga. uenighed om fx. udseende af altan.

Jeg har talt med en af min venner der forslå følgende steps.

- Nedsæt et en altan projekt gruppe.

- Få først en betinget betinget forhåndsgodkendelse af kommunen.

- Indhent tilbud fra leverandører (Altan.dk skulle være det billigste og bedste da de fik lavet det for ca. 5 år siden).

- Lav informationsmøde.

- Lav justeringer til planen.

- Fremlæg til endelig vedtagelse. (få fuldmagter fra dem som ikke kan deltage)

Ting der er vigtige.

- Lav et projekt alle kan se sig selv i.

- Arkitekt tegninger skal være knivskarpe.

- Få finansiering som fælles lån (fordel: folk med kredit godkendelse kan få altanen og hvis man sælger lejligheden indenfor et par år hænger man ikke på lånet)

- Få det som optional om folk vil være med OG at det senere hen bliver muligt for folk at få altan.

Hej Reddit,

Jeg søger lidt inspiration til gode steder at afholde en julefrokost. Maden må gerne være klassisk, og der skal være plads til højt humør!

Vi bliver 20, og har er budget på 1000kr pr snude.

Welcome to Copenhagen!

Before posting, be sure to read our wiki for guides and answers to the most frequently asked questions from newcomers. Tourists will find useful information at WikiVoyage, WikiTravel and VisitCopenhagen, while new residents should visit the international websites of the City of Copenhagen and the Danish Immigration Service.

Be specific when asking for recommendations – tell us about yourself and what you like. Generic recommendations for "a nice restaurant" or "must-see attractions" can be found on TripAdvisor. Also, as locals we probably don't know much about hotels in the city.

Due to the bad reviews about Louisiana we decided to bike to the Arken instead. What a bad decision that was. More than half of it was under construction. The only overwhelming thing there was the stench of paint fumes. In fact, the pallet sculpture at Christiania was better than anything in that building.

So yeh. Just a heads up because the website doesn’t inform you and they still charge you a full ticket price.

not sure whether anyone else was in agony waiting for this nightmare to end, but the coffee shops finally have Gammel Knas again and the other day I was actually able to pick up a large block of it at my local bakery. thank GOD

The most sacred of all danish holidays are coming upon us tomorrow!

J day! Launch of the christmas beer!

How are you celebrating it?

And for me personally- where should a 35F celebrate it?

Happy J day!

Hi, can you recommend sports bars to watch German Bundesliga on Saturday? Also, how is the stance towards St. Pauli fans in Copenhagen? I know Fc Copenhagen has a fan friendship with HSV 😅

Jeg er lidt i en nødsituation og jeg skal have fat på kogebogen "La Cucina - The Regional Cooking of Italy". Er der nogen der ved, hvor i København, jeg kan købe den??

Arnold Busck og Politikens Boghal har den ikke

Kære reddit🫶🏻 Jeg håber, I kan hjælpe mig! Jeg har en aftale ‘nordpå’ i dag, hvor jeg gerne vil tage toget. Jeg skal skifte fra S-toget til lokalbanen på Jægersborg station, og Rejseplanen angiver, at det kan gøres på 4 min. Jeg har dog aldrig været på Jægersborg station før, så er det realistisk? På forhånd tak!🙏🏼

Hi all

I apologise in advance if this offends anyone. This is not my intention.

I was hoping to get a local point off view of these three bougie suburbs. I appreciate that it's not necessarily Copenhagen. And also understand that most of people in this area are perceived as up themselves.

But I just want to know how they stack up against each other. And what do people think if a person when they say they live in these areas.

My current perception is that Hellerup is a nice bougie area which is close to Copenhagen centre. It used to be old money but more it's mostly new money. And that there is really two Hellerup. The Hellerup that is east of the train track and one that West of the train track.

Then there is Klampenborg. A bit further than the other two. But offers better proximity to nature. The beach and the Dyrehavn. Mostly old money, older people, big houses. Quite sporty.

Charlottenlund is sandwich between the two and has a more surburbia feel. Kinda like where you end up if you can't afford Hellerup or Klampenborg.

It's this a fair assessment?

We're getting a lot of reports every day.

Some of them are worthy of our attention, but most of them target submissions to this sub which the moderator team and the ever diligent automoderator already curate quite a lot. You should see the daily removal pile, e.g. ~20 submissions have been removed in the last 24 hours.

No posts asking for generic advice and recommendations

At the moment, basically every single submission asking for any kind of recommendation gets reported by users as breaking the rule "No posts asking for generic advice and recommendations".

I am not a fan of many of the recommendation threads myself, but the fact that every single recommendation thread gets reported is close to being an abuse of the report system in my opinion. For the record, this is what the rule states:

Use the pinned thread for questions about visiting or moving to Copenhagen.

Posts asking where to go for dinner, where to go clubbing, which museums are open, how to find an apartment, which neighbourhoods are safe and similar repetitive topics will be removed.

It doesn't state anywhere that you can't ask for recommendations on /r/copenhagen. If recommendations are to be banned entirely, this will require a rule change.

Keep all posts related to Copenhagen

Anything that isn't physically inside the borders of the Copenhagen/Frederiksberg municipalities also tends to get reported as breaking the "Keep all posts related to Copenhagen" rule. Let me remind you what this rule states too (emphasis added):

Submissions should be centered around the city of Copenhagen and the surrounding area.

Content related to Denmark as a whole should be posted to r/Denmark, while questions about e.g. mortgages and taxation can be directed at r/dkfinance.

The definition of this surrounding area isn't provided, but it is surely more than just the Copenhagen and Frederiksberg municipalities.

Custom reports

We also get daily reports with custom messages such as "low effort" and "please moderate this sub". I would like to empathize once again that we do actually moderate the sub quite a bit. These users don't even have a specific rule to pin stuff up on, so instead of downvoting submissions tthey are spamming the report system.

For the record: I also wish we had less low-effort content, but the best way to get less low-effort content is to produce more high-effort stuff. I've been trying to start up a sister subreddit at /r/CopenhagenUrbanism with the kind of content I prefer and so far every submission on it except for one was by myself! I think the reality is that most people are not interested in submitting stuff, they just want to comment. And the easiest posts to submit and comment on will always be threads like "recommend me X".

The last meta thread on this subject actually resulted in significant changes: the moderator team was doubled and automoderator was made much stricter. The kind of flamewar threads that were common then are much rarer now, which is really nice IMO.

Your thoughts are welcome. Let's get a discussion going.

Skal på min første date i årevis. Vi skal finde et sted i KBH/omegn at få et, måske to glas vin. Vi skal derfor kunne tale sammen (så ikke PS bar😂) Det må gerne være et hyggeligt sted. Helst ikke værtshus-ish, men heller ikke fint og fornemt. Et casual sted med god stemning foretrækkes. Nogen ideer?

*vinbar - den vil ikke lade mig rette

Hello! I recently moved to the city and I am missing playing regular football.

Are there any casual football games you could recommend to join? 5aside, 7aside, 11s. Anything, as long as it's not a serious league team.

Thanks :)

Hej! Konen og jeg har endelig en fridag uden børn og vi vil rigtig gerne ud og spise et godt sted som vi gjorde for et par år siden.

Dog er det hverdag og til frokost så vi har svært ved at finde et godt sted - lidt pænt - som har åbent.

Jeg har søgt herinde men har ikke rigtig fundet noget

Hvad er din anbefaling til en frokost restaurant i prisleje 400-600 Per person som ikke er junk eller smørebrød?

Vi plejede godt at kunne li Marv og Ben, fishmarket, no2, og Cofoco restauranterne.

Spending a few days in CPH and was wondering what the strange shapes in the tops of the boxes are for at the location of pedestrian crossings.

They almost look like something to put a cigarette on but surely it can't be that?

Hi everyone! Is there anyone here, or does anyone know a good specialist for analog camera repairs in Copenhagen or nearby? I have a Pentax KM with a “sticky mirror” issue. It only happens when the shutter is cocked, so the mirror stays up, and the depth of field preview doesn’t work either. I’ve already done some cleaning and lubrication under the bottom cover, but it looks like the mirror box might be the issue, so I’d rather not try to fix that myself. Any recommendation for reliable, reasonably priced help would be much appreciated!

Hello!

My wife, two children (13 and 11), and I will be attending the Brøndby v. Nordsjaelland match on 10 November. The match is at 20:00 local time, and we will be coming in from Nyhavn (probably taking the M1/M2 to Flintholm/Vanløse St. and then a bus to the stadium, but could be talked into a different route).

With the match starting at 20:00, we’re looking at what to do for dinner beforehand. I can’t get much info on the food at the stadium other than favorable reviews of the “cafeteria,” and checking the map around the stadium doesn’t look like there is a lot nearby within walking distance. Would it be easier/better for us to find options once we get off the M1/M2, or maybe even do an earlier dinner while in Nyhavn and avoid these other locations altogether?

Thanks!
