Danish world class gastronomy, international high-class restaurants and live music on two stages are some of the ingredients on the festival “International Days – Taste the World”.
Though Copenhagen Cooking’s main programme runs from 19-28 August, there will be an extra opportunity for a unique taste experience 3-4 September when “International Days – Taste the World” takes place in partnership with the City of Copenhagen. The festival is placed in exciting Rantzausgade situated in the heart of Nørrebro.
