Torvehallerne

Torvehallerne is a good place to eat your way through Danish food in one stop. Two glass halls hold dozens of stalls, from open-faced rye sandwiches called smørrebrød to fresh fish, cheese, pastries and good coffee. Outside, more stands sell flowers and vegetables. It is busy at lunchtime, so go slightly early or late, and grab a bench to people-watch with your plate.

Talking points

• Smørrebrød are open-faced rye-bread sandwiches with toppings like herring or roast beef.
• The halls sit beside Nørreport, one of the busiest transport hubs in the city.
