Anastasia Kristensen's Perfect Summer Spots in Copenhagen

Anastasia Kristensen for Trippin

Denmark-based DJ Anastasia Kristensen would describe Copenhagen as "a city made for comfortable, slow-paced and beautiful living." The Scandinavian city has been dubbed as one of the best to visit in recent years, with a flourishing food scene, beautiful landmarks and natural beauty.

"I have never seen a more 'logically' built city than this," says Anastasia. It's a city where you can relax, enjoy music and even find some style gems. Her guide takes us through her favourite places to go during the summertime, from flea markets filled with vintage garms to vegan pizza places.

Hangaren Refshalevej 185

Refshalevej 1851432 KøbenhavnDenmark

Great summer spot, which has finally opened this summer. The outdoor area is super cute, there’s space to seat, have a delicious bite and drink and then go in front and have a dance to some of the most excellent DJ's from around the world. I closed the opening day and it was so much fun.

Det Grønne Loppemarked

Jagtvej 162200 KøbenhavnDenmark

Have discovered this second-hand market recently and it’s a gem. Located in the heart of the vibrant Nørrebro area the market. The vision of organisers to put an end of the awful consumerism mindset of buying mindlessly and never recycling. Everyone can book a stand and the place offers fantastic vegan friendly food trucks too. Many of the sellers are participating exclusively for charity purposes, which makes the experience of shopping way more meaningful.

If you are looking for a rare and more luxurious end of second hand, Lidkøb Østerbro is the one. Danes are stylish people and have accumulated loads of beautiful items throughout the decades. Here’s the place to shop them. A bit pricey but I’ve never left this place without finding something extremely pretty there.

My fav spot to wind down and chill. This side of the lakes isn’t overly used but it has the most calming and peaceful effect.

If you look for more advanced and sophisticated Ruby is the place to visit. Centrally placed and has an amazing dark wooden interior inside. definitely ask for "One In, One Out" when there. The menu changes frequently.
