bakeries
 

Denmark, especially Copenhagen, is home to hundreds of traditional bakeries serving 'wienerbrød' literally, bread from Vienna, the traditional and famous Danish pastries. While many are closing due to competition from 7-Eleven kiosks, a traditional bakery is still good to find and hard to beat. Look for signs with a pretzel on them or shaped like a pretzel, usually with a crown on top. The major department stores listed above also have bakeries, although they can be pricey.
