## Date night ideas in Copenhagen, Denmark

Looking for date night ideas in Copenhagen, Denmark? These are pairings from what's actually on this week — the picks below are refreshed daily, so it's a live shortlist rather than an evergreen top-10 list. Take one as the anchor and keep the rest of the evening loose.

- **Dinner first** — Hallernes Smørrebrød at Torvehallerne and Modern Snaps and Smørrebrød at Selma are on this week's list, and the easiest date night here is one good table with nowhere to be after it. See the "Eat & Drink" section.
- **Make an evening of it** — Anchor the night on something that's actually scheduled, like Guys and Dolls at Det Ny Teater, and put dinner on either side of it. See the "Happening Today" section.
- **A first date that isn't dinner** — A show, an exhibition or a gallery hour is lower-pressure than a two-hour table when you barely know each other; start here and keep it short. See the "New & Notable" section.
- **Turn it into a weekend** — When one night isn't enough, the quick escapes on this page, Coastal Heritage in Helsingør & Kronborg Castle among them, stretch a date night into a weekend. See the "Quick Escape" section.
