There are many neighborhoods in Copenhagen, some residential, some full of students, some wealthier, and some poorer. This is a list of some we consider worth visiting!
- Indre By
The inner city—which includes part of the medieval center. Home to most of the city’s historic sites, from Christiansborg (the parliament building made internationally famous by Borgen) to the candy-colored houses of Nyhavn, Indre By is also the most touristy part of Copenhagen, with the shopping street (Strøget) and bar street (Gothersgade) to show for it.
This area will be visited during a walking tour
- Nørrebro
When guest workers started arriving in Copenhagen in the late 1960s, they found a home to the north of the lakes, in this area. Today, it remains the city’s most ethnically diverse neighborhood, as well as an artist and student hub.
All of the area around the leafy Assistens cemetery is hipster central these days, with the artisanal bakeries, inexpensive wine and cocktail bars (Vivant, Barking Dog, Pompette, Paloma), and park/artists installation Superkilen make the strip just east of the Nørrebrogade street an intriguing path to follow!
- Østerbro
A posher neighborhood populated by diplomats and upper-class families, Østerbro, which lies to the east of Indre By, is home to gourmet delis, chic children’s clothing stores, and the city’s soccer stadium (topped by a restaurant with three Michelin stars, no less).
- Freetown Christiania
Christiania was established in the 1970s, when a former military base on Christianshavn was occupied by a group of hippies. Best known for its Green Light District and the marijuana stalls of Pusher Street, it actually has much more to offer. There are creative bakeries, vegetarian restaurants, underground gig venues, and smoky jazz bars.
- Vesterbro
Here you will find galleries, tattoo studios, chic restaurants, underground bars, and music venues. Vesterbro has earned the title of the hippest district in Copenhagen. For a long time, it was known as a working-class neighborhood, and even though today it is still home to the occasional seamy places, it’s now mostly popular for its trendy hostels, organic restaurants, and independent shops.
Enjoy a last morning in Copenhagen before heading to the airport for the second part of your trip!

If you fancy watching some movies or TV Series to get you in the mood for your trip to Mallorca, check these out:
- The hunt. Tramuntana
Filmed in Mallorca and currently in its second season, in which the Serra de Tramuntana centers the plot of this psychological ‘thriller’. A sergeant goes to the mountains of Mallorca to find out what happened to his partner. The sergeant had gone to the mountains days before to investigate a murder before three young people. It can be watched on Apple TV -trailer here.
- The Mallorca files
Two detectives work hand in hand with the Palma police; together they will have to solve some of the strangest crimes in Mallorca. Within its development it is interesting to see how the agents will have to adapt to a culture that is not their own. A BBC series - trailer here.

For your time in Mallorca we have planned minimal activities, and really invested in R&R and discovering secluded, quiet spots near the water. Your activities are planned around meals and beach excursions.
Mallorca wouldn't be done right without a day of cruising over crystal waters, past secluded rocky coves and powder-sand beaches. Spend the morning aboard a private boat and explore the rugged coast, stop at any sandy cove you wish and forget about time and space. Snorkels are available on board for you to use!

Your lunch restaurant is only accessible by boat or a tough hike, a truly rare find of a restaurant.

From Port de Soller it is possible to hire a boat to Cala Deia, one of the most beautiful pebble beaches in Mallorca, with its crystal-clear waters between cliffs in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.
If you desire to take a taxi there, the drive is about 30 minutes long and the taxi can be arranged via the hotel.
- August is a very high season month in Mallorca, we recommend going to Cala Deia in the morning!
We have reserved a table for you at Ca'n Lluc restaurant.
Time: Afternoon

The reservation is under a name will be provided.
Here is a playlist we have put together for you, for your lazy beach morning!
Why not spend some time exploring the medieval town of Sóller where you can explore tiny streets filled with boutiques, bars and eateries. Indulge your taste buds at a local bistro to experience some "mar y montana" (sea and mountain) specialties.
You can arrange a transfer or taxi ride through your hotel's concierge or you can take the tram!
If you plan on visiting Soller, why not arrive there in style?
Some cities in the world, such as Lisbon, San Francisco or Melbourne, are famous for their historic tramways still in circulation. The one in Sóller has a peculiarity that makes it special compared to other urban streetcars: it joins the mountain and sea in a half hour trip, from the valley in the heart of the Serra with the port and the beach.
It's a wooden 1900's style wagon, offering not only an experience back in time but some of the most beautiful views of the island.

Another day devoted to rest and relaxation and wellness. Choose to explore another beach for the day or enjoy the hotel's spa, yoga class and pool.
- Tuent cove
Cala Tuent is a more secluded beach, and its surroundings are worth a visit: surrounded by mountains and pine forests, its crystal clear waters and smooth pebbles add to its natural charm. If you intent to spend a full day, there is a local restaurant, Es Vergeret, serving Mallorcan cuisine. You can reach this beach either from Port de Soller, by boat or directly from your hotel by private transfer (approximately one and a quarter hours by taxi).
I recommend asking the hotel to book a transfer for you for the ride to Cove Tuent, as the road leading to the beach is not in the best condition.
Here is a few recommendations for beaches with amenities and sun beds to rent.
Here is the closest beach where you can rent beach lounges.
Sandy beach with chairs. If you do choose to go there we recommend a stop at Lluc Monastery on the way.
The best beach in Mallorca for white sand and lounges is Platja de Muro, towards Can Picafort. However this is about an hour away from Port de Soller.
Sandy and with beach lounges – about 40 minutes away.
One of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, but about 1.5 hours away.
From sunset yoga on the beach to asanas facing the monumental Tramontana mountains, yoga is a journey of awakening. For thousands of years the ancient art of yoga has been practiced to enhance the body’s strength, posture and alignment.
Enjoy an afternoon yoga class as part of this vacation in the idyllic setting of your hotel.
