One of my favorite things about traveling is discovering a new place online and finally getting to visit in person. I read about Copenhagen's most popular foodie destination, Copenhagen Street Food, in an article which popped up on my Facebook newsfeed about a year ago. Located on Paper Island and known for its global food trucks, funky decor, and the place to be seen on the weekend, I knew I had to experience it myself.

It was only a quick 15 min walk across the bridge from our hotel in Nyhavn which lead us to this quirky food hall concept. Full of delicious food samples, bars and even a night of bingo! We arrived at the perfect time to catch all the festivities. According to the Paper Island website there are exactly 39 food stalls, food trucks, containers and bars where you can find Korean, America, Japanese, Brazilian, Indian and many more globally inspired dishes. Almost everything I ate was delicious! You can enjoy your food outside looking over the Opera house and the harbor of Copenhagen or dine inside one of the kitschy decorated bench areas.

Make sure to visit Yoko Ono's Wish Tree art installation next door for a chance to participate in something meaningful. Its hard not to notice the dozens of little trees covered in white hanging tags that welcome you to paper island. You write down your wish on a white tag provided to you outside and tie it to one of the trees branches. My mom and I came back later in the evening to put up our own wishes and watch the hundreds of wishes flutter in the night sky.

With only a few days left till the Copenhagen Street Food closes in 2018, here is your ultimate eating guide if you're visiting Copenhagen for the holidays! Take a look at some of my favorite bites along the way.

OINK OINK

Incredibly juicy pulled pork sandwiches, perfectly situated between two toasted buns, coleslaw and pickled Danish free-range pork roasted in the smoke over for 16 hours. This was one of the highlights of my Copenhagen Street Food experience!

DUCK IT

At DUCK IT you can taste the popular Pulled Duck Burger. The best quality of Confit de carnard served in a burger and it is melt in your moth delicious!

ALL ABOUT OSTRICH

All About Ostich loves experimenting with meat! A unique burger filled with smoky meaty flavors, lots of cheese, bacon and their homemade ostrich burger patty.

INDIA STREET FOOD

You can't go wrong with roasted potatoes, chickpeas, bell peppers and yogurt sauce with a mango chutney on the side. This dish was cool and refreshing for the palette.

CHICK KO

IIf you're craving Korean style deep dried chicken abroad then this is the place to be. Lots of Korean students were lined up at this place to grab a taste of home. The chicken was ok but nothing to rave about.

LATIENDA

A Vegan Columbian street food stand which is home of the Happy Burger and offers several other vegan options. Pictured here is the Happy Burger which features a quinoa patty, beetroot mayo, chili salsa, red onions and sprouts with a side of plantain chips. A bit on the dry side but grade A on the presentation.

HANDMADE

I absolutely cannot get enough of these traditional Danish open faced sandwiches aka the Danish Smørrebrød! You'd be amazed by how much you can fit on a single piece of rye bread. The menu varies according to whats in season so you're always in for a surprise.

PØLSE KOMPAGNIET

Delicious gourmet hot dogs paired with organic bread and a variety of greens and sauces, there were so many options to chose from. Pictured here is a Danish dog with purple onion, fried onions and pickles. Below is a Danish dog with mayonnaise, pesto sauce and potatoes on top, my personal favorite of the two.

LA FATTORIA

The best place to treat yourself to a nice charcuterie board with imported cheese and sausages. We opted for this delicious arugula salad with goat cheese, tomatoes and balsamic dressing. Pair it with a glass of red wine at one of the bars next door.

BISTRONOMI

My absolute FAVORITE thing I ate were the Duck Fat Fries from Bistronomi! I still dream about these fries and I could have easily devoured several batches of them...but seriously, where can I find these fries in America this good?!?

There's something for everyone to be found at the Copenhagen Street Food market. So make sure you check it out before its gone forever!
