This is one of the most famous local bakery chains. Although relatively high priced, the quality of its pastries is excellent and I would certainly recommend it for at least one visit.

Sightseeing
This is a small yet beautiful public garden from 1920 with paths, benches and a shallow pond in the centre. The royal library is right behind the park and worth a visit too. It is connected to the modern part called 'the black diamond', which is right by the water.

City/town information
If you are in town for more than just a weekend, you may want to cross the striking Öresund bridge to visit Malmö in Sweden. It only takes about 20min to cross. In the city center, Lilla Torg is a cobblestone square with cafes, half-timbered houses and shops selling local handicrafts.

In residential Frederiksberg, locals relax in the gardens surrounding the Italianate Frederiksberg Palace. I highly recommend going to the gardens. It is a place where you can be in the center of a city but still away from city sounds.
