Copenhagen keeps surprising us with some of the best food we could ever wish for.

It seems to be a quiet superpower of the Danish capital to outshine others when it comes to taste.

But just as renowned is Denmark’s knack for interiors.

“Hygge,” the Danish word for a sense of cozy well-being, has long travelled across languages and borders.

Less known, perhaps, is the expression “ferm på fingrene,” meaning “skilled with one’s hands.”

That’s exactly where the name of the beautiful interiors brand Ferm Living comes from.

Craftsmanship made simple – that’s the guiding principle of Scandinavian design.

The Torvehallerne are not just a feast for the eyes.

Two airy halls flank a large marketplace, which blooms with a sea of flowers.

Food trucks surround the square, offering delights like Korean Barbecue Chicken or tacos from Hija de Sanchez, making the choice deliciously difficult.

Inside the halls, we find a foodie paradise filled with Smørrebrød, cheeses, seafood, spices, cinnamon pastries, fresh juices, specialty coffee and everything a gourmet heart desires.

Even in Copenhagen, summer days can be sunny and hot.

While the abundant waterways invite refreshing dips, cooling down from the inside with delicious ice cream is always a good idea.

Sea buckthorn or elderflower sorbet, licorice ice cream or salted caramel, honey nougat or chocolate ice cream – all these flavors more than fulfill their cooling purpose at Nyhavn 40.
