I received a free copy of, Copenhagen Like a Local by DK Eyewitness, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have always wanted to go to Denmark, Copenhagen in particular, so I really enjoyed this travel guide. So many things to see, do and experience.

For a travel guide this novel had a very enticing cover that drew my attention to this guide.
I normally would not pick up travel guides at least, not in half a decade.

This novel is full of information for those Instagram-able moments to capture and all the go-to places.
It was as if I was exploring the city itself through this read.
This guide shows you do not need to visit a place to travel. I felt I was travelling within this one.

With all the descriptions of the cafes and secret spots I do not want to give much away but it is a must read if you have an interest in the area.

Loads of information on places to eat, drink, shop, visit arts and culture, nightlife, and outdoors. Would be very helpful if spending more than a day or two in Copenhagen. No information on lodging.

Readable book about visiting Copenhagen; comes with handy walking guides. A bit too focused on the local aspect though; tips for eg Copenhagen Card and travelling on the train might have been helpful.
