Copenhagen

When to go

Late spring and summer are particularly good for walks and bicycle rides. Autumn becomes cooler, while the short winter days suit a combination of museums, cafés and indoor attractions.

Things to see and do

Walk through Nyhavn, visit Amalienborg Palace and the city centre, and explore Christianshavn and the waterfront areas. In good weather, consider a bicycle ride or canal tour.

Practical tips

Cycle paths are heavily used, so pedestrians should pay attention to the markings. Check opening hours and reservations for popular museums and restaurants in advance.

Getting there and getting around

International flights arrive at Copenhagen Airport. The centre is easily reached by metro and train; metro trains, buses, S-trains and bicycles are available within the city.

Where to stay

Indre By is convenient for a first visit and proximity to sights. Vesterbro suits cafés and urban life, while Nørrebro offers a more local and diverse atmosphere.

What to try

Try smørrebrød, Danish pastries, and fish and seafood dishes. Copenhagen is also known for its modern Nordic restaurant scene.
