Gifts
Your love, support, and presence are already the best gifts we could ask for on our wedding day. However, if you really, really, wish to give us a gift, feel free to ship it our way. PayPal donations to our family account are very welcome, as we will use them to furnish our new joint home; please send them to gift@somekhsilber.com.
A more affordable hotel is
Hotel Wakeup Copenhagen, Borgergade.
If you want to stay in the area of the Copenhagen Synagogue (Krystalgade 12), search for accomodations close to Indre By (City Center).
Some guests are booking AirBnB's and Shabbat meals together; contact us if you want to be introduced to them.
There is no eruv in Copenhagen.
What to eat in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is home to some of the best resturants in the world, and many articles have been written about the New Nordic Cuisine.
Please also check out the food market and culinary hub
Torvehallerne.
If you are hungry for kosher food, check out
this site by the Jewish community. Fully kosher establishments include
Taim Restaurant and
Gil's deli (butcher/grocery store). Make sure to inquire directly with them for opening hours; unfortunately Copenhagen doesn't have any kosher certified New Nordic Cuisine restaurants. The following vegetarian/vegan restaurants have been approved by Rabbi Jair Melchior:
Green Burger,
The Organic Boho, and
Veggie Heroes.
We strongly recommend you check out
La Glace for amazing cakes, pastries (wienerbrød) and hot chocolate; they have a list of products that are suitable for those on a
kosher diet (left column). Rabbi Jair Melchior has also approved all breads baked by
Lagkagehuset (their chiabread is phenomenal; they sell half breads).
What to do in Copenhagen
Take a 60 min boat tour, it's a great way to see Copenhagen. There are several tour companies, but
Netto Boats is the cheapest option. Alternatively, take a free 2.5 hour
walking tour (but remember to tip the tour guide).
Tivoli Gardens - the world's second oldest amusement park - is beautiful, especially at night with colored lamps illuminating the gardens; fireworks on select days.
You might also want to visit
Rosenborg Castle, where you can view the Crown Jewels and learn about the Danish Kings. The castle is adjacent to Kings Garden. You can also visit
Amalienborg, where the royal family lives. The
changing of the guards arrives every day to Amalienborg at 12n; if the Queen is in residence at Amalienborg, the guards leave from their quarters at Rosenborg Castle at 11:27am. However, during the summer, the Queen is often not in residence at Amalienborg, and the smaller changing of the guards takes place without the Royal Guards music band, departing from Rosenborg at 11:32am.
Take a tour of the
Danish Parliament ("Folketinget"), view the royal reception rooms and from the tower you get a nice view over Copenhagen.
Public transportation in Copenhagen (bus, metro, S-train) is excellent. If you
rent an electric bike, please make sure to follow all applicable bike laws; in Denmark the police routinely give tickets to bikers and to pedestrians that jaywalk. Taxis in Denmark are expensive and Uber is banned.
The Copenhagen Card covers admission to many museums and public transportation. Please also check out
visitcopenhagen.com for more information.
