Craving a sweet treat this Easter? Head to Torvehallerne (21 Frederiksborggade), Copenhagen's covered food market, where you'll find more than 80 stalls selling food, drink, flowers and irresistible cakes and chocolates. There's also a range of bustling bars and cafés.

Copenhagen shops have fantastic January sales, often offering 50 percent reductions and more on large amounts of stock. Head to the main department stores Illum (52 Østergade) and Magasin (13 Kongens Nytorv) for a guaranteed shopping spree, then explore smaller shops such as Stig P (14 Kronprinsensgade) and Pede & Stoffer (15-19 Klosterstræde) for unique fashion finds.

For more affordable prints by young Danish artists, swing by CMYK KLD (51 Jægersborggade).
