Do you have a favorite type of danish food, and are there some danish food you haven't gotten used to yet/are not that crazy about?

Our first location is Israels Plads, located near Nørreport station in central Copenhagen. Originally named Grøntorvet for its fruit and vegetable markets, it was renamed Israels Plads in 1968 to commemorate the rescue of the Danish Jews and renovated in 2014. Today home to popular Torverhallern and flea markets on weekends.
We moved to Ørsted Parken, which came to be when the city fortification ring was torn down in the 1870s, some of the lands were reclaimed as parks. Ørstedparken is between Nørreport and Vesterport, and is named after famed physicist Hans Christian Ørsted who discovered electromagnetism. Today the moat is a small lake and there are replicas of classical statues.
The Lakes (Søerne) are another stop and connection to the old city fortifications The Lakes, or Søerne in Danish is one of the most distinctive features of Copenhagen’s geography. They are manmade lakes that date back to the 1500s as part of city defenses and drinking water supply. Today the lakes are ringed with trails for running and walking and are incredibly popular.
Nyhavn is on our list. The most iconic part of Copenhagen, it translates to “new harbor” and was dug out by Swedish prisoners of war in the 1670s. The colorful townhouses date mostly to the 1700s and were built when this was a working harbor. Today it is filled with cafes, restaurants and lots of people.
The next stop is Ofelia Plads - originally called Kvæsthus Pier. It was a working harbor primarily for ferries to other Danish cities. After World War II the ferries died-off and the area became less used. In 2008 the new Royal Danish Playhouse opened and the area came back to life. Today there are many public art displays and it is a popular spot for harbor swimming.
We continue to Kroyers Plads. The name Copenhagen translates to merchants' harbor, and the main harbor has always been the lifeblood of the city. The harbor brought in cargo from all over the world, ferries to connect the many danish islands, and for centuries hosted the bulk of the Danish naval fleet. By the late 1900s shipping, ferries and the navy moved on and the harbor began its reinvention as the recreational center of the city. Extensive remediation projects make the harbor clean enough to swim in.
Next, we head inland to Christianshavn, built in the 1600s by King Christian the 4th and inspired by the canals of Amsterdam. It was once an independent merchant’s city but then was absorbed by Copenhagen. After World War II, it became more bohemian, especially inspired by the adjacent Christiania district. Today it's one of the poshest districts in CPH.
We end in Vesterbro, a colorful neighborhood that was once home to the Meatpacking and red-light districts. Today the meatpacking district, called Kødbyen, is popular for nightlife, restaurants and it's home to us!
