The Cph:cool mission was born in 2005 with our guided Urban:cool tour of Vesterbro. From the very beginning, we wanted to move beyond “only monuments” and traditional sightseeing. We know that urban travellers are curious, time-conscious, and eager to get under the skin of a city. Our goal is to offer a shortcut to the very best of Copenhagen, blending authentic local life with sustainability, design, architecture, liveability, and culture on our personal tours. Because Copenhagen is so much more than Tivoli Gardens and the Little Mermaid.
Cph:cool was founded by Sine Louise Schmidt and Kristine Munkgård Pedersen.
Sine has been walking the streets of Copenhagen since she was a little girl, growing up in the idyllic neighborhood of Christianshavn – and there is not one single tiny corner in town she doesn´t know. She loves riding her bike, strolling around and drinking coffee, so she is always in chase of coffee shops with a cozy atmosphere. COBE architect’s cool café in Nordhavn, functioning as an open office space/design lab in the old industrial harbour area of Nordhavn is her absolute favourite spot at the moment. These years Nordhavn is transformed into a new residential area, and there is always a new project to discover. Being a certified guide as well as holding a Master´s degree in cultural dissemination, makes Sine a passionate storyteller when it comes to Danish culture, design, urban planning, aestectics and architecture.
A client, Louise Strandberg Clemmensen´s experience:
Sine took us on a fantastic tour around authentic Nørrebro. She tailormade the program for our very international audience and made a very cold night exciting and fun. Sine was very enthusiastic and friendly. I can only recommend Cph:Cool!
Since 2015 Kristine has been working as a program director for the Meet Copenhagen City department, so Sine is the only woman onboard the Cph:cool mission now. When needed, she hires her favourite, educated and passionate guides for the tailored tours ensuring the highest standards available.
