by Ekaterina Chapiro

5. Guide: spottedbylocals.com

Whether taking a stroll in the inner city, or planning an outing with friends, this insider guide points to the lesser-known venues on the many smaller side streets. Want to pamper your date? Indulge their sweet tooth at the Dragon cake café, or treat them to the best coffee in town; take them to a park or an artsy neighborhood – these Copenhagener bloggers show you where and what to do. With these tips, kroner will fly right and left when you go out and you can't help but try the places recommended. This reporter is glad to have tried a healthy salmon sandwich at a recommended café. Her bank is less happy.

4. Gay scene: copenhagen-gay-life.dk

This website is bread and butter for those interested in the gay and lesbian scene of Copenhagen, and it is not on top of Google search results (yet!). A highly practical and minimalistic layout makes it effortless to navigate your way to the city’s best offers in accommodation, nightlife, events and other relevant ventures. From cafes to travel, sex clubs to saunas - this guide can spice up your stay, or help you pick out something just a tad calmer, from the many options on offer.

3. Bikes: copenhagenize.com

A good thing to know as you ride your new bike through the city, is where exactly to stop to get air in your tyres for free and your chain oiled. This site offers all you want to know, and never knew you wanted to know, about the two-wheel experience. Good for biking tips, or if you simply want to look at photos of tough old ladies in expensive furs biking through a snowstorm, learn more about the city’s bicycle culture.

2. Photography: copenhagenphotofestival.com

The Copenhagen photo festival is a big deal to anyone remotely interested in photography, or just the city looking pretty. Amateur and professional photographers alike get to compete for a spot in many of the city’s exhibition areas, some of them so public they are literally displayed outside on the main shopping streets. This website informs you about the festival, as well as other photography-related events throughout the year. Not a website for daily entertainment purposes, but surely a good inspiration for one of those random photography-related outings Copenhageners seem to love.

1. Books: bookstoreguide.org

An English-language guide to books and book shopping in Copenhagen. Helpful links aplenty, background facts and practical information about bookstores. There are also included general introductions to what one might expect of the atmosphere and selection of books in English. The information is bite-size, and you might want to know more than the website offers – but it's a good start before you set out to hit the books in town.
