Well, I mean... it's a bookstore. And since this is a chain bookstore (and probably the most famous…read morebookstore in Denmark), you know what you get! This particular store is my favourite of them all, with a large selection of english books, sorted into different categories. It's 3 stories high, with a coffee shop on the middle floor (do go and check out my review of it before you decide to go!). The people working there are extremely helpful and if you're in the wrong section for what you're looking for, they'll guide you to the right section so you can get help! Really my only issue with the store is that it feels like the stairs are about to break. They're made of glass and seem really wobbly, but... you know... no one has fallen through yet! ;) They very often have sales, so if you're looking for a good price, this is where I'd go!

I will go back and enjoy this place because it is an unusual set up and I needed more time. They were close to closing. If you are a bookstore bookie..go. I would recommend this on your list of Denmark. It's not all Denmarkyish but worth a stop.

FOOD: 4 SERVICE: 3…read moreAMBIANCE: 4 VALUE: 4 There are so many coffee shops in Copenhagen it's hard to say which is best. I can tell you that this place is really unique, more like a coffee shop inside a library. This place was buzzing when we came first lunch. You have to find a seat, then go downstairs to the counter to order. Once you've ordered, you get your drinks on a tray with a number. You tell the counter person where about you are seated and they will come find you with your food. Since this was supposed to be a light lunch, we just ordered a chicken sandwich and a tomato soup. The chicken sandwich was a piece of marinated chicken breast, lightly grilled, served on a bed of lettuce with slices of tomato in a crunchy roll, with a side of roasted potatoes. As good as any grilled chicken sandwich can get. The tomato soup can best described as " tomato-y", soupy consistency and just right for a cold Copenhagen winter day. This place is popular, it can get loud inside and you may have to wait a bit for seats, but come and hang out.

The…read moreselection is massive--everything from mainstream Marvel and DC to indie and European graphic novels you'd have a hard time finding elsewhere. It feels like you could get lost in here for hours (in the best way). The staff really knows their stuff and are approachable whether you're a seasoned collector or just curious. I loved how organized the store is despite how much they have in stock--rows of comics, shelves of board games, RPGs, miniatures, even some vintage finds. It's the kind of place where you keep discovering new corners. Prices are fair, and it's very easy to end up walking out with more than you planned (I definitely did). If you're a fan of comics, fantasy, or gaming, this place is a must-visit in Copenhagen.

Here you can find pretty much all kinds of stuff, that's if you know where the look. The curator of the place tried to shelve the book based on categories, but sometimes it's just like giant puzzles there, you figure out which book belongs to what, and when you least expect it, you sort of lean forward and say "Hey, this is interesting! I would never thought I would find it here!" Anyway, still the best place to shop second hand book in Copenhagen. I'll miss it dearly

Lovely staff - tip; if the book you want is damaged in some way they'll usually give it to you 10% off. I can't say much about the Danish section, since I only read on English, but there is definitely a wide range of selections in the English section - YA books, fantasy, sic-fi, fiction, non-fiction. You name it, they have it and on the off-chance they don't, they'll immediately offer to order it home for you, and you won't have to pay for shipping or anything. Usually an English book is 100kr. Danish books, according to my mum, are averagely priced for Danish books. Amazing amazing place that practically feels like home!

Politikens Boghandel is not that place.

A nice mix of both Nordic and more international authors. You can also buy a cup of coffee and chill out by the window. The owner/shop keeper is a very nice woman with excellent book tips, seems like she's read them all. Everything she has recommended for me has so far been very interesting and to my liking, the favorite being a selection of horror short stories. This is actually a very good place to get interesting short story collections, if you are like me and like to sometimes finish a story over dinner rather than read the same book for a longer period. Thiemers magasin is the perfect place to get your next read, some tips about literature that might suit your taste or just to browse for gifts. The prices seem fair. They also host readings and small literature related events.
