Sometimes it can be difficult, especially when you have visitors, to come up with good ideas to keep yourself entertained when it rains. Here's our list of top things to do when it rains in Copenhagen...

A perfect way to spend a rainy day is definitely at a food market, a great atmosphere surrounded by tasty food and drink.  Plus they are usually indoors to keep you sheltered from the rain.  Torvehallerne, close to Nørreport metro station is probably our top choice now that Paper Island has sadly closed down!

For more info and other markets to explore check out our post about the best food markets here.

Copenhagen has a great selection of museums. Our personal favourite for a rainy day is the Glyptotek, Copenhagen’s sculpture museum which also has a beautiful botanical garden.

Also one of Denmark’s best museums of modern art, Louisiana. Situated in a pretty location by the sea, 20 minutes train ride from Copenhagen. Try out their delicious all you can eat lunch and lemon tart!

Grab a group of your friends and spend the day eating Smørrebrød and drinking Schnapps, you will instantly forget about the rain! One of our personal favourites is restaurant Puk the third oldest restaurant in Denmark, and if you're lucky you'll get a very entertaining waiter who will share all the restaurants history.

Probably one of our favourite ways to spend a rainy day, and with wellness being a very important part of Danish lifestyle there are some great options to choose from.

Bastard Cafe - Rådhusstræde 13, 1466 - City Centre
We love to play a good board game and this place literally has every board game in the world stacked on it’s shelves. The cafe has quite a student feel to it and you can order unhealthy but very tasty snacks directly to your table using your phone, before you know it four hours have passed without you realising!

Cafe Salonen, Sankt Peders Stræde 20, 1453 - City Centre
Another great little bar where you can play board games! This was one is a fairly recent discovery. It is really cosy and the drinks are good value as well. Cocktails are priced at 55dk.

Urban Ranger Camp - Refshalevej 177, 1432 - City Centre
We didn't dare to try this one out, but if you're not afraid of heights this urban playground 50 meters in the air looked like a real adrenaline rush. For four hours it cost 395dkk.

Paintball Arena - Refshalevej 177A, 1432 - City Centre
This is the largest indoor paintball arena in Europe but it doesn’t just have paintballing on offer, you can also choose actives such as lazertag, sumowrestling, human football and many more. A great place to go if there’s a large group of you.
