Torvehallerne

Getting around: Right by Nørreport station in central Copenhagen, easily walkable from most of downtown.
Hours: Open daily, typically Monday to Saturday around 10:00-19:00 and shorter hours on Sunday; individual stall hours can vary.

Torvehallerne is Copenhagen's main indoor food market, two glass-walled halls of stalls selling fresh produce, seafood, cheese, baked goods, and prepared food alongside a scattering of small eateries. It's a working market as much as a food-hall destination, popular with locals doing everyday shopping alongside visitors grabbing lunch.

It's a good, efficient stop for a quick, high-quality meal or to sample Danish specialties without committing to a sit-down restaurant, and works well combined with a visit to nearby Rosenborg Castle or the botanical garden.
