Peter recommends:
Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”My favourite place in Copenhagen is the cinema Grand in Mikkel Bryggers Gade. They have a distinguished repertoire of Danish and foreign (not just American) quality films. There is also a café with a nice atmosphere and a rich selection of film magazines and books.”

Do you have a favourite place outside of Copenhagen?
”My favourite place outside of Copenhagen changes from time to time, but for the last few years, it’s been Strandvejen, the continuation of Østerbrogade out of the city headed north along the coast. The best part is Charlottenlund Fort, where you can swim in the Sound (Øresund) and have an ice cream or a cup of coffee.”

Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”I am fond of Amager, which is where I live. Everything is here: all kinds of residences, shops, cafes, restaurants – and green spaces such as Amager Fælled toward the west and south and Amager Strandpark toward the east. I particularly like Amager Strandpark. Here, you can go for a walk, do exercise, lie by the beach and go swimming. Some Danes even do it in winter – ’vinterbaderne’ – but perhaps you prefer to only do it when it’s hot in the summertime.”

Who’s your favourite Danish writer?
”There are many good, interesting and exciting Danish writers. Nonetheless, I still want to recommend the most famous of them all: Hans Christian Andersen (known in Danish as H.C. Andersen). Some literary historians reckon that he created modern Danish (written) language with his fairy tales. If he is too difficult to start out with – then you can begin with some easy readers featuring his fairy tales.”
