Smørrebrød is a typical Danish open-top sandwich, normally served with cold meats, cheeses, and salad. While Pølse is a boiled or fried hot dog, meaning the sausage is bright red. It’s typically served with mustard and there are plenty of Pølse carts around the city.
Denmark is famous for its beer, so while in Copenhagen it’s a ‘must’ to sample the local beverage! The most recognizable Danish brand is Carlsberg but there are plenty of craft brews to discover also.

If beer isn’t your thing, try Aquavit, a distilled spirit traditionally served cold and paired with traditional Danish foods like boiled fish.
