Fælledparken is Copenhagen's second-largest park, laid out between 1908 and 1914 in the Østerbro district. It holds wide lawns, mature trees, a lake, a 3.5 km path and the largest skatepark in northern Europe, and it includes dedicated, signposted dog areas where owners and their pets can mix and run.
No photo yetCoffee First is a small, cosy coffee bar opposite the Planetarium, beside Copenhagen's lakes in Vesterbro. It serves espresso, filter coffee, breakfast plates, sandwiches, smoothies and pastries, and several items on the menu are playfully named after dog breeds, from the Labrador citrus lemonade to a choco poodle milkshake.
No photo yetWulff & Konstali is a Copenhagen breakfast and brunch chain, and its Nordhavn shop sits inside Audo House with indoor seating and a large, sunny terrace. Breakfast runs from 07:00 and brunch from 08:00, built around house-baked bread, pastries and seasonal plates served from the counter.
Nimb is a 38-room boutique hotel overlooking Tivoli Gardens, right beside Copenhagen Central Station. It has a rooftop pool and terrace, a spa with a Moroccan hammam, and several restaurants and bars, and is one of the Danish capital's best-known luxury addresses.
No photo yetComwell Copenhagen Portside is a large hotel in the Nordhavn district, looking out over the Øresund strait towards Sweden. It has a restaurant, bar, meeting rooms and 24-hour reception across ten floors, and sits right beside the harbour front and its wide, flat, largely traffic-free paths.
No photo yetCopenhagen's second-largest park, created between 1908 and 1914 as a park 'for the people', with lawns, a lake, gardens and the city's largest skatepark. It features designated dog areas where pets and owners can socialize, including a popular fenced off-leash zone.
Leash rules, off-leash hours and whether dogs are allowed inside are set locally and change without notice. Each listing here says what the venue or the responsible authority publishes, and the listing page links to the page we checked, so you can confirm the current rule before you set out. Outside a signed off-leash area, keep the dog on a lead.
No venue can pay to be listed or to rank higher, and no listing carries an invented rating or a stock photograph standing in for the real place. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will re-check it.
Heath and common land where off-lead walking is written into the rules, plus pubs with a dog wash in the garden.
A brasserie that says outright it welcomes dogs, dog cafes in the Marais, and one of the city's thirteen off-leash areas.
Beer gardens older than most countries, a forest where the lake is legally open to dogs, and the most dog-tolerant cafe culture in Europe.
Brown cafes with a dog under the table, a designated dog beach on the Gaasperplas, and a canal-house hotel that takes one small dog.
Terraces where a leashed dog is welcome by law, the city's one official dog beach, and a brewery hall with room to spare.
Third-wave coffee with a water bowl, the first dog park in the old city, and a rooftop with a view over the Tagus.
Send it in and we will check it against the venue's own information before it goes live. Venue owners can also send a photograph of their place — free, with the credit kept.
