The sun's out. You want a glass of wine or a cold beer in it. But which terrace is actually in the sun right now? Walk to the wrong one and it's already in shade.
This map solves that. It shows Copenhagen's best outdoor bars, wine bars, cafés and restaurants — and tells you which ones have sun on their terrace at any moment of the day.
Tap any spot to see whether it's sunny, partial or shaded — live, or for any hour you choose on the time slider. Three things decide it:
The sun position is exact, but clouds aren't predictable. The live weather strip and the per-spot hourly forecast show the real-sky picture — open any venue to see its sun chance, hour by hour, combining geometry with the weather forecast.
Suggestions welcome on Instagram: @jolinnemann — especially hidden courtyards and south-facing terraces nobody's written about yet.
Completely. No ads, no sign-up, no account needed — just open it and go.
Building heights aren't always in OpenStreetMap — when missing, they're estimated from floor count, which can be off. Terrace orientation is also a judgment call. It's a model, not gospel — trust your eyes when you get there. If the pin's in the wrong spot, the 📍 button in the popup lets you move it.
Only to sort the list nearest-first and show a dot on the map. Your coordinates never leave your phone — there's no server behind this. If you decline, the list sorts by sunshine instead.
Mostly. The app, the venues, the sun math and the shadow data all work without a connection once it's loaded. Map tiles and the live weather need internet — those won't update until you're back online.
Not yet. The venues are curated for Copenhagen and the building-shadow data covers Frederiksberg to Refshaleøen. Other cities may follow.
Very. It's calculated from a single point in central Copenhagen — but across the whole city the difference is less than 0.01° in azimuth, far too small to affect whether a building's shadow falls on a terrace.
