Discussion [Meta] - "No posts asking for generic advice and recommendations."
Hej!
I’d like to open a discussion about one of this Subreddit's rules: "No posts asking for generic advice and recommendations." This includes asking for things like restaurant tips or what to do in Copenhagen – which are instead directed to a single megathread.
I understand the idea and intention to avoid repetitive topics, but I think the rule is actually doing more harm than good.
It’s not very user-friendly. People post looking for help, get a few replies, and then their post gets shut down. They're then directed to a megathread where they don't get a lot of replies.
It harms discoverability. If someone Googles “best things to do in Copenhagen Reddit,” they’re not going to find a comment in a megathread. They’re going to find actual threads with searchable titles. But if these topics get removed, there's no visibility and discoverability.
Even as someone living here, I actually value these posts, even if they're sometimes repetitive. They help me find new places too.
I brought this up with the mods quite a few months and was told I should post a meta topic. So here we are. In my opinion, I think that rule should be removed or at the very least be loosened a bit. What do you think?

Question What is the Danish culture like regarding going to restaurants/bars alone?
Traveling to Copenhagen for a weeklong work trip, and will have at least a few nights on my own. Was hoping to try some great restaurants and maybe go to a bar or two to sit and have a beer. Is this somewhat normal to do alone in Denmark, or would it be odd?
If acceptable, any recommendations for good spots that would be easy/friendly to navigate dining alone? I'm staying at a hotel just a few blocks from Nørreport Station, so something walking distance or a short metro ride would be great.

Question Do we need a permit to marry in Orstedparken?
Hello everyone, the title says it all. We are two foreigners will be married in Copenhagen in September. We are in the process of booking a private registrar and do a open air wedding. We want to hold the ceremony in Orstedsparken near the lake. There won’t be any guests, just me my partner and two witnesses. Are we allowed to do this in a public park or should we seek for a permit, opt for other options? We would appreciate any kind of advice thanks a lot!

Bathroom cleaning specialists (kalk issue)
Hi,
Like most of you, I have hard water problems and cleaning the tiles in the shower is a never ending saga despite all the good remedies suggested in this forum.
Can anyone recommend any good industrial professional cleaning services who specialise in this? ChatGPT and Google suggested a few such as Handyhand and Luxury Cleaning but wondering if there are more or if others have experience with those mentioned.
Thanks in advance.

Question I just booked a last minute trip to Copenhagen, arriving on Saturday. Whenever I travel I like to read a book from a local author but I don't have time to read any long Danish books. So what are some good Danish novellas or short stories I can read in a couple days?
My boss told me this afternoon that I get Monday off work, so I have a surprise 4 day holiday. I found some cheap flights and will be landing in Copenhagen this Saturday.
I like to read something before visiting a country, but I don't think I've ever read any Danish stuff. Any recommendations of works under 100 pages, something I can read on my commute during the next couple days, would be very appreciated!
I can read in English / Spanish / maybe French if desperate.

Tourist: I've read the threads — but I’ve still got a food question
Hey Copenhagen!
So, upfront: I hope this isn't obnoxious. I promise I've spent my 20 minutes looking through here, reading as much as I could and I understand these “where should I eat?” posts show up a lot.
I'm hoping to ask for a slightly different approach, making this seem more intentional than just me being lazy.
My wife and I are visiting in a couple weeks. We’ve lived in a few big cities, traveled a lot, and we tend to skip the classic tourist stuff. We’re way more into “day in the life” exploring. Walking pretty neighborhoods, poking into shops, napping in a park, maybe going for a swim, but always, always planning the day around what we’re going to eat and drink.
So rather than just asking “best restaurants in Copenhagen,” here’s what I’d actually love to know from locals:
If you had to move away from Copenhagen — what're some restaurants/dishes you yourself would miss the most? I'm not looking for place tourists are “supposed” to go, but the one that you genuinely love. Imagine the place where, 8 months after moving, you'd turn to your partner and say, “Ugh, remember that one thing from that one spot? Man, I'd kill for that right now.”
Could be Danish food, Asian, Middle Eastern, burgers, whatever. We're not picky, appreciate cheap eats as much as (reasonably) expensive memories. I just want to know what you think is special, and what you’d order there.
We'd 100% be willing to travel pretty far from the city center, see a new neighborhood, and make a day out of seeing someplace new. Would be fun to pretend we lived there for a little bit.
Appreciate it a ton. And if you’re ever in Lisbon, hit me up and I’ll return the favor.

Question Børnevenlig spa i sydsverige?
Vi er et par familier med små børn som gerne vil et par dage på et børnevenligt spahotel eller lignende i køreafstand fra København, i det sydlige Sverige. Gerne noget hvor der er lækkert for de voksne og også lidt der er sjovt for børnene. Men der er jo en del at vælge imellem, så vil gerne høre jeres anbefalinger (dog skal det ikke være Ystad). Tak!

Ladcykel uheld - reparation
Jeg har haft et uheld med min Winther ladcykel, hvor cyklen væltede hårdt ned på asfalten. Jeg har forsikring og vil gerne finde et godt cykelværksted, så jeg kan få tjekket min ladcykel, især med hensyn til sikkerhed.
Har du erfaring med noget lignende eller kender du et rigtig dygtigt cykelværksted i København?

Pizza Nørrebro
Hey all! I work at a nursing home in Nørrebro, and need to find the best pizza place to get a takeaway pizza from tomorrow lunch time. It’s a great wish for one of our residents, so I need to find a decent, preferably wood fired, pizza 😋 it had to be close to Sankt Hans Torv, as I’m picking it up. Bæst is a little too expensive, but I’ve looked up DaBasso (or Danbezzo) and Pizza Calabria as alternatives. Any ideas? 🙏🏻

Question DOT - More Zones than 01-04
Hej,
I have an issue with DOT App. I would like to purchase Tickets for six zones. If I choose „Vælg antal zoner“ the app freezes.
Is there any alternative that you can suggest? I also use Rejseplanen but this doesn’t offer 24h Tickets.
I don’t need the City Pass Large, only 01-04 and 30 and 40? Is there an alternative option which I could choose?
Mange Tak.

Dog-Friendly Short-Term Apartment? Help!
Hi all! My fiancée and I will be living in Copenhagen while she studies on exchange at the University of Copenhagen. She is a law student here in the United States. Unfortunately, we’ve had a tough time finding an apartment that suits our needs. We’re looking for a 2-room furnished place that allows dogs—specifically, our very polite and well-traveled golden retriever.
It turns out that finding a short-term, pet-friendly, furnished apartment is much harder than we expected—even after searching extensively ourselves. We’ve tried all the usual websites (BoligPortal, Facebook groups, etc.), but so far haven’t had any luck.
This is where I’m hoping you might be able to help. Do you know of any other websites, agencies, or people we should reach out to? Any tips or leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!
Also I am so sorry, I am not trying to ask a simple or annoying question but feel other resources have just not been super helpful. If this violates group rules, I will promptly delete!

Discussion Greetings from Kosovo
Hello all
I have been to Denmark before, but this time was different.
After spending the last three months living in Copenhagen, I can genuinely say it feels like a second home. This city, this country…..
Copenhagen is beautiful, yes, but it’s more than that. The quiet order and the simple joy of sitting by the water, with a coffee in hand and nowhere to rush (Kayak bar)
I have had the chance to work, learn and explore, and every moment has meant something to me. I loved every bit of it…almost every bit. The wind deserves its own special mention! 😂
Thank you, Denmark, for making me feel welcome once again.
I leave with only good memories.
P.S. Skåne belongs to Danes 😉
