Curious about Danish cakes and pastries? When in Denmark, you have to try a real Danish — or wienerbrød, as it is called here. They are sold in many varieties at bakeries and cafés all over the city.

The oldest patisserie in Copenhagen is 'Conditori La Glace', which was founded in 1870. Amongst many mouth-watering cakes and pastries, you will find the classic Sports Cake, which consists of crushed nougat, whipped cream, a macaroon bottom and caramelized choux pastry.

There is nothing better than to grab an ice cream cone to go on a nice summer day. Denmark is famous for its dairy products, and you will understand why when you try local ice cream. By the way, did you know that Danes are one of the most ice cream-eating people in the world? The average Dane eats 10 litres of ice cream a year.
