23 Wonderful Things To Do In Copenhagen

[ad_1]

This is my guide on the most wonderful things to do in Copenhagen; from historic colourful waterfronts to the second oldest amusement park in the world, from world-class bakeries and coffee shops to independent enclaves. I truly believe that Copenhagen is the perfect city to visit in Europe and it has something for everyone. Let me show you why right now!


Welcome to Copenhagen.

It has become a bit of a tradition now to celebrate my birthday in early August with a trip away, whether locally in the UK or further afield. 2025 was special in that we now had two little girls and so we decided to take advantage of Norwegian Air’s brand new direct route from Newcastle to Copenhagen. This was our first city break with two kids in tow and I couldn’t think of a better city to visit than Copenhagen.

Copenhagen is one of those cities that you probably dream about visiting; consistently rated as the world’s happiest city, there’s something about the lifestyle, the Scandinavian charm and the beautiful architecture that is so appealing. With its relatively small size, it makes for a perfect city break in Europe if you’re only wanting to spend a few nights away.

We spent four nights in Copenhagen in total and, whilst the city is small with all of the main highlights all being within a walkable area, we found that there was so much more to do that we anticipated. This just simply means that no two trips will be the same and we are already planning a return trip.

This guide therefore is for those looking to spend a few nights in the city, especially those who are first time visitors. I’m going to include many of the most popular ‘big hitters’ if you will and there’s no doubt that you will have already heard of them. Whether you’re starting from zero or looking to supplement your carefully curated itinerary, I hope this helps give you inspiration for your own visit to Copenhagen.

THE COPENHAGEN CARD

We were kindly provided with complimentary 72 hour Copenhagen Cards thanks to Visit Copenhagen and I honestly couldn’t have imagined visiting the city without one. The card itself grants you access to over 80 attractions across Copenhagen as well as free public transport. You’ll see just what great value this card is below when you realise just how many of the best things to do in Copenhagen are covered – think Tivoli Gardens, loads of museums, Copenhagen Zoo, IKONO and even canal tours – I only scratched the surface too, there are probably too many places to visit in one trip but the ones that you do visit, the card will still save you money in the long run. The official website actually offers a savings calculator so you can easily pick the attractions you’re likely to visit and see if general admission prices or the Copenhagen Card will be cheaper. On average, you’re likely to save around 30% using the Copenhagen Card.

WHERE TO STAY IN COPENHAGEN

We wanted to make sure that we stayed somewhere as central as possible with it being only a matter of moments before we were on the streets of Copenhagen.  After much research, we settled on 25hours Copenhagen Indre By which was across the square from the Round Tower; basically the centre of the city.  The hotel was incredible; in terms of design, in terms of food as well as its rooms which were far more comfortable than I expected for four of us.  You can read a full detailed review of our stay here.

COPENHAGEN WITH KIDS

If I’m honest I didn’t necessarily think that Copenhagen would be a fantastic place to take children but it absolutely was.  Taking children on city breaks, especially little ones like ours, might not necessarily be for everyone – I know a lot of people love to visit European cities child-free to indulge in one too many beers and cocktails and others than would much prefer something much more family focused.  However, I would not hesitate to recommend Copenhagen for families with children in fact I’d go as far as saying I preferred this so much more than a family friend all-inclusive style holiday! 

I should have known how kid-friendly Copenhagen would be by the fact that it was Denmark that brought Lego to the world – architectural museums have three storey slides, there are trampolines built into the pavement and accessible playgrounds across the city.  Many of the best things to do in Copenhagen are for adults as much as they are for children; Tivoli Gardens, National Museum of Denmark (no, really!), The Little Mermaid & IKONO are just a few examples.

One local company, Easygoing, made our trip all the more stress-free too and I have no idea why this isn’t an option everywhere you visit.  We were kindly provided with a double buggy, a scooter & helmet as well as a few jigsaws and games for the hotel room which made life so much easier.  The double buggy was a must-have as we wouldn’t have expected our three year old to wander around all day – we have since visited Malta with just one stroller and switched between toddler in stroller/baby in carrier and baby in stroller/toddler walking so many more times than you can imagine!  In Copenhagen, Evelyn even napped which is not like her at all.  The scooter was such a cool addition as it meant exploring the city streets could be turned into something fun for Evelyn whereas it’s probably quite boring from a kid’s point of view.  

I’d highly recommend checking out Easygoing if you’re visiting Copenhagen with younger children, I’m certain it will make your life so much easier meaning you can get on with enjoying your time in the city!


THINGS TO DO IN COPENHAGEN


NYHAVN

When you think of Copenhagen, I can almost guarantee that one of the first, if not the first, image that comes to mind is of the beautiful historic harbour with its 17th century multi-coloured townhouses that now house cafes, bars and restaurants. For obvious reasons therefore this area of Copenhagen is incredibly popular but I highly recommend strolling down both sides of the canal so that you can experience all that Nyhavn has to offer – take lots of photos!  

I would say that most of the restaurants are probably aimed towards us tourists so expect to pay higher prices if you choose to dine here.  It’s not a bad place to grab a drink or two, again for a premium, or grab some warm waffles from Vaffelbageren Nyhavn to keep the energy levels high.

AMALIENBORG PALACE

This is one of the most beautiful palace’s in Copenhagen which is probably expected as it is the main residence of the Danish Royal Family.  There are actually four separate palaces all facing each other around the central courtyard, one of which is a museum covering the history of the royals.

Every day you can witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony at 12pm which, thanks to poor timing on our part, we completely missed!  The huge octagonal square fills up quickly so, if you do want to catch this ceremony with a good view, make sure you arrive early.

We wandered through the square admiring the beautiful buildings, watching the guards stay deadly still within their little huts before taking a few photos.

THE LITTLE MERMAID

Now, this tiny statue of The Little Mermaid around half an hour’s walk outside of central Copenhagen often features on guides of things not to do in Copenhagen and I absolutely can see why.  It’s a long way out of Copenhagen just to see a bronze statue of the Little Mermaid that is far smaller than you might imagine and, to make things worse, it is always packed with other tourists scrambling for a photo that doesn’t include any of the other tourists in it.  The author Hans Christian Anderson is obviously a big name in Denmark and Copenhagen and so, Carl Jacobsen (son of the founder of Carlsberg), mesmerized by a ballet rendition of the famous fairytale, commissioned a statue on the outskirts of the city in her honour.

So, you may then think, well why are you including it on your list of the best things to do in Copenhagen – the answer is twofold.  For first time visitors, I don’t think you can actually visit Copenhagen without ticking it off so at least we can all be disappointed forever.  However, if you have children, I honestly think that the little ones will love it – at least my Disney-obsessed three-year-old was blown away.  She even insisted on bringing her own Ariel doll for a photo…

KASTELLET

Kastellet is a great place to visit before or after a (quick) look at the Little Mermaid statue.  Whilst this remains an active military site, Kastellet is interesting in that it’s a 17th century star-shaped fortress yet offers calming and peaceful walks around the grounds and moat mounds.  There are great views to be had of the bright red barracks and original windmill though it didn’t take us long to wander through from the north gate to the south gate, past St Alban’s Church, and back into the city.

KONGENS HAVE / KING’S GARDEN

The King’s Garden is a stunning parkland in central Copenhagen where the locals relax with a picnic, grab a coffee or play with their kids in the playground.  When the weather’s good, head straight here whether to simply take a leisurely stroll or perhaps read a book beneath the trees.  The park has beautiful views of Rosenborg Castle (which you can also explore with tickets) too.

We spent a few mornings here wandering through whilst navigating the city but returned so that Evelyn could spend some time in the dragon play area which she absolutely loved.  I’d highly recommend grabbing a drink from the beautiful Hercules Pavilion before moving on.

RUNDETAARN / THE ROUND TOWER

The Round Tower is a must-see landmark in Copenhagen, one that I was really looking forward to seeing, so much so that the view from our hotel room at 25hours Copenhagen looked out on the tower and the adjoining church.  Whenever I visit a new city I love to get up high, to get my bearings and, more often than not, take in the best views of the city.

This particular 17th century tower is quite unique in that, for the majority of the way to the top, there are no stairs – there is a spiral cobbled walkway which allowed Christian IV, King of Denmark, to ascend to the top whilst still riding in his carriage.  Oh the things we will do for our kings…

There are a few tight stairs at the very top which take you up to the rooftop from where you have stunning 360° views of Copenhagen.

Entry price is not included within the Copenhagen Card so expect to queue and purchase directly at the time of entry.

Adults: 60DKK
Students: 40DKK
Children: Free (Age 0-17)

TIVOLI GARDENS

Tivoli Gardens is probably the jewel in Copenhagen’s crown.  It was absolutely my favourite thing to do when we visited; one of the world’s oldest amusement parks is slap bang in the middle of the city. 

The whole park is far bigger than you’d imagine with a mix of gardens, high octane rollercoasters, gentle classic rides and unique architecture.  This really isn’t like your standard theme park and is well worth a visit even if you don’t fancy the rides.

We initially entered the park for free thanks to the Copenhagen Card but soon were tempted by the rides – particularly the wooden rollercoaster, Rutschebanen, that dates back to 1914.  It’s actually the second oldest continuously operating rollercoaster in the entire world, with the oldest that has been continuously operated being the Scenic Railway in Luna Park, Melbourne.  I didn’t ride the one in Melbourne though it looked really run and now I kind of wish I had as I would have been on the two oldest! 

Evelyn really wanted to ride the Rutschebanen and she was tall enough to go on so that was our first ride once we purchased our wristbands (unlimited rides) – pitch black at times, super fast but really fun, for me at least.  I think Evelyn was petrified despite having been on a little rollercoaster in Tokyo DisneySea.  It took a while for her to warm up to any other rides!

My favourite ride in the end was the Dæmonen, a short but wild rollercoaster, and hated Villa Vendetta – actually terrifying! Evelyn eventually continued to enjoy more of the fairground style rides like the carousels, the Little Dragon and the Hans Christian Andersen themed The Flying Trunk.

The great thing about Tivoli Gardens in my view too is that you can re-visit no matter how many times you come back to Copenhagen and you’ll still have such an amazing time!  I would absolutely love to come back at Christmas as it looks so magical with all of the lights and decorations.

MAGSTRAEDE

Whilst this is not necessarily going to take too much time out of your day, I wanted to include this particular street on this list as it’s beautiful, lined with traditional Danish colourful townhouses, which makes for amazing photos.  This is one of my favourite photo spots in Copenhagen offering one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable views in my opinion!

FREETOWN CHRISTIANIA

I absolutely did not expect somewhere like Freetown Christiana to exist in a place like Copenhagen.  Berlin maybe but not Copenhagen or at least I thought.   Christiania is one of the most popular tourist spots in the city despite being a sort of independent, anarchist commune set up by squatters and hippies in the 1970’s.  This former military base, in central Copenhagen, became home to those seeking an alternative society, away from the norms and rules of Denmark and grew into a self-governing enclave where around 850 residents still live today.

Until much more recently, Christiania was perhaps more well known for its drug culture and openly selling of cannabis on Pusher Street.  Each of the various organised crime groups, or gangs I guess, wanted to control the trade and this often descended into violence – for example, a 23 year old being essentially assassinated in broad daylight.  This was not somewhere you’d really want to visit and you definitely could not take photos.  

When we visited in November 2025, things had definitely changed.  The symbolic closure of Pusher Street came with the lifting of all of the cobblestones and the organised crime groups and violent gangs have retreated.  The aim is to create a new vibrant cultural environment and transform the area into one which benefits everyone.  I certainly didn’t feel unsafe and it was nice to see cafes and bars, outdoor seatings and plenty of signs allowing photography (though I was still unsure so didn’t take too many).

We had a quiet walk around the whole area and loved the Green George troll created by Thomas Dambo.  There are, as at the start of 2026, a grand total of 171 huge trolls across the world all made from recycled materials with many in Denmark itself.  We didn’t stop for coffee or shop the small independent markets but we still had a good look round to really get a feel for the place.  

CHURCH OF OUR SAVIOUR

In the heart of Christianshavn is the Church of Our Saviour which is an unmistakable feature of Copenhagen’s skyline thanks to its distinctive spiral staircase that winds its way right up to the top of the church’s spire – almost 90m above the ground.  This feature therefore makes for a great place to visit and test your fear of heights; the skinny staircase is for those going both up and down and is definitely not something that I could manage.  I’ve seen people squeezing past each other right at the top with only a small handrail for safety – not for me!

Now, if you don’t have a fear of heights and want to see some great views of Copenhagen, this is the place to experience it.

The tower is open daily from 9am to 8pm though it is closed through January, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  It often will close too for safety reasons due to rain, snow or strong winds.

I would highly recommend booking a ticket in advance as it can get busy.  We arrived hoping to have a look inside the church with the Copenhagen Card and Emma planned to head to the top but the only slots were much later on and had to be booked ahead.  We had plans so didn’t have time really to return a few hours later – don’t make the same mistake as us.  If you’re definitely set on visiting the Church of our Saviour and want to climb to the top of the spire, book your tickets ahead of time!

Adults – 70DKK

NYBODER DISTRICT

We wandered through this neighbourhood on our way to Kastellet and the Little Mermaid simply to admire the light orange/yellow rowhouses that once accommodated the Danish navy.  I wouldn’t say it’s imperative to visit Nyboder but the district is a great chance to step back in time, to the 18th century, and literally see and feel what life must have been like hundreds of years ago.  

Please note that the houses are now private residences so be mindful when taking photos; we took a few and moved on!

FREDERIK’S CHURCH

Standing in the centre of Amalienborg’s octagonal courtyard, you can’t help but notice the huge imposing copper green dome of Frederik’s Church, known as The Marble Church.  The dome atop this church is actually the largest in Scandinavia.  The church is free to enter if you wish to admire from the inside.  We wandered around the outside, desperate for some sweet treats from Hart Bageri, mesmerised by the beautiful architecture.

THE ROYAL LIBRARY

Det Kgl Bibliotek, the Royal Library, now known as the Black Diamond, is on this list not necessarily for its wide array of books but more so for its modern interior design.  Entry is free and, if you head straight up to the sixth floor, you’ll be treated to spectacular views over the glass atrium.

Website

DANISH ARCHITECTURE CENTER

Just along from the Royal Library is the Danish Architecture Center, another ultra-modern glass building.  It might have taken us a few attempts to find the entrance but, once we were inside (entrance again covered by the Copenhagen Card), we enjoyed exploring the history of Danish architecture and design, using our imagination to build with Lego (obviously) and sliding down three storeys which is far quicker than using the stairs or elevator.  For those that have children, they’re going to want to go down this slide much more than once!

Website

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF DENMARK

Between Tivoli Gardens and Christiansborg Palace is the National Museum of Denmark for which, if you have the Copenhagen Card, admission is included.  We might not necessarily have visited the museum if we didn’t have the Copenhagen Card but we actually had a great time.  Evelyn was far more interested than I thought she would be perhaps due to the interactive Children’s Museum on the ground floor (essentially a top class role play village); you could sail a Viking longboat, wield swords, climb a horse, visit a market in Pakistan or attend school.  This kept Evelyn well occupied for about half an hour or so though for at least 5 minutes of that I was convinced I’d lost her – turns out she was just on the top floor of the market crouched down playing!

There’s a large section of the museum dedicated to the history of Denmark which does of course include Vikings.  Exhibitions change frequently though some are more permanent than others – I was really interested in Ka-Ching!, an entire section dedicated to money.  Attempt to lift a real gold bar borrowed from the Danish gold reserves or take on the game to gather as much money as possible – jump on the literal hamster wheel or test your knowledge for DKK.  You could easily spend hours in here but obviously if you’re only visiting Copenhagen for a few nights, you might have to refrain yourself!

If you’re travelling with little ones, just a little note to say that you have to store your stroller on the ground floor and use one of the museum’s own.

Website

NY CARLSBERG GLYPTOTEK

If you love sculptures, love ancient Greek and roman culture as well as Egyptian history, you are going to love taking in all of the stunning exhibits here.  Whilst all of that is great, for me at least, there are perhaps only so many sculptures that might keep me interested, it was the incredible architecture that really makes this one of the best museums in Copenhagen.

Thanks to the son of the founder of Carlsberg, Carl Jacobsen, the Glyptotek opened to the public in 1897 and holds over 10,000 exhibits stretching across 6,000 years of history from his own private collection.

Entry to this museum is again included within the Copenhagen Card (seriously, it makes so much sense to get one especially if it’s your first visit) otherwise it will set you back 135DKK for adults / under 18’s free.

Almost immediately after entry you will make your way into the Winter Garden which I think is the most beautiful part of this entire museum – a huge glass dome, towering palm trees and sculptures within the vegetation.  This is a quiet area where you can spend a few moments or head to the cafe to get your caffeine fix. I didn’t spend too much in the remainder of the museum however but you can easily watch the hours tick by if you really want to admire all of the exhibits.

THE MEATPACKING DISTRICT

The Meatpacking District is one of the coolest areas of Copenhagen.  Full of breweries, coffee shops, restaurants and more, these old industrial units have been heavily gentrified into a must-visit hotspot.  The bright white and blue industrial buildings are extremely photogenic though I couldn’t help thinking that I must be in the wrong place when we first walked in; there are still plenty of businesses operating here with vans and lorries coming and going yet the owners that run the bars, breweries, restaurants and galleries, look to have simply dropped off their stuff within the white tiled units and set up shop.  Now that is exactly what I love!

We headed to Warpigs first for my birthday lunch.  A brewery come smokehouse, this is somewhere that is absolutely my kind of place and absolutely not my wife’s kind of place.  Still, the strong smell of hops aside, we all loved it.  The beer was obviously great thanks to it being an outpost of the popular Mikkeller brand but the stand out was the food.  We chose the Trooper Tray that came with freshly pulled 1/4lb of brisket, pork neck and homemade sausage, coleslaw and mac and cheese (285DKK, around £33 or $45) alongside nachos to ensure that Evelyn at least ate something….  There are four housemade sauces to smother the meat in too; Texas, Kansas City, South Carolina & Alabama.  Whilst the meat was a little dry in places, the sauce really helps.

Just along from Warpigs is Ismageriet one of the best ice cream shops I’ve ever visited.  A retro ice cream parlour, there are so many flavours on offer though from memory I think a lot of the signs were obviously in Danish and, under pressure, I went for the safe options of strawberry and sprinkles for Evelyn, salted caramel for me and white chocolate for Emma.  You’d be hard pressed to find better ice cream anywhere else in Copenhagen.

There’s seating indoors but loads of bench seating outdoors where I’m sure you’d prefer to be on a lovely summer’s day.  Bear in mind however that with ice cream, in the summer at least, come wasps.  We had to deal with basically a swarm of them which took away from the enjoyment a little.

Finally, as if there was any room left, I grabbed a flat white from Prolog Coffee for the walk back into central Copenhagen.  This was one of my favourite coffees of the entire week and I loved how the clean design of the takeaway cup matched the colours of the wider Meatpacking District.

There are plenty of other options available don’t worry; pizza, seafood, a branch of the popular Hart Bakery and so much more.  I absolutely will be spending more time here on my next visit to Copenhagen.

BURGERS AT GASOLINE GRILL

Have we found the best burgers in Copenhagen?  I know that Gasoline Grill come highly recommended and sometimes those kind of places don’t live up to the hype.  I knew I wanted to visit the original outpost of Gasoline Grill, within a working petrol station, but I was a little put off when I saw so many outlets across the city.  Could it really be that good? 

Dare I say it but this is up there as the best burger I have ever tasted and that is absolutely saying something.  The humble burger is my go-to order no matter where I am, from Tokyo to Newcastle, and this has to be my favourite in terms of texture and taste.  It’s been named as one of the world’s best burgers too by Bloomberg  and it’s not a surprise.

The experience itself at the original location of Gasoline Grill wouldn’t necessarily win any awards; there’s also a queue and there’s very limited seating so we had to find a bench in a nearby urban park full of pigeons.  However, you can’t really visit any other Gasoline Grill location, at least for your first time, so embrace it. 

The menu’s pretty simple; burgers, fries and lemonade (+ a few extras and soft drinks / Tuborg).  We shared a meal as we didn’t want to fill up too much for tea and it worked out really well – one cheeseburger with100% organic beef (that they grind daily so that it’s super fresh), cheese, onion, pickles and Gasoline sauce all between a fresh potato bun, organic fries and homemade lemonade.  Sauce wise it was chili mayo for the fries and the rich chocolate mousse for dessert.  Now that was the only way you could end this beautiful meal!

Once the food’s gone for the day, it’s gone – Gasoline Grill will sell out so keep that in mind.  

If you’re looking for the best burger in Copenhagen, this is it!

Website

TORVEHALLERNEKBH

Just a stone’s throw from Nørreport Station is the large glass market hall of TorvehallerneKBH featuring around 60 stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables, fish, meats and cheese as well as many different street food offerings and bottle shops.  We came here specifically for an outpost of Hallernes Smørrebrød which serves up high quality and beautifully presented open sandwiches known as smørrebrød.

Dark rye bread is topped with a huge variety of different meats, fish or vegetarian and vegan options.  We visited late afternoon so we didn’t have too much to choose from – we went with the Hønsemor (chicken salad with celery & asparagus, bacon and cress) & Danmargherita (homemade cream cheese, tomato relish, parsley and chives) which were both really good.  I did prefer the cream cheese option but I’d have to love to have tried the shrimp salad one! Maybe next time!

Also, a word of warning, don’t go straight to IKONO after eating as you will feel dizzy and sick for the remainder of the day and all through the night!

IKONO

Now, pre-children, we probably wouldn’t have even looked twice at somewhere like IKONO but this interactive and sensory experience is a great way to spend an hour or so with kids especially if it’s raining outside!  If you haven’t guessed it yet, this guide shows just how good value the Copenhagen Card as yes even admission to IKONO is included.  The only difficulty we had was actually getting in – with the Copenhagen Card you can’t simply just walk in so make sure you visit early in the day to pre-book your slot later on.

We disconnected almost immediately and got right into the swing of things entering the absolutely huge, adult size, ball pit.  Evelyn loved jumping in whilst I seemed to just sink and keep sinking any time I tried to move…

There are 12 rooms in total; all completely different and completely immersive.  My favourites were ‘Skate The World’ where you could pretend to skateboard or surf on a slice of pizza, the mirror maze, the balloon room and the one where you can just chuck small bits of tissue paper into a fan to make the whole room a mess.

It was such a good experience for us especially Evelyn and we all really enjoyed the hour or so just playing, being big kids, with none of the distractions of modern life (apart from my camera obviously).

Website

STUDIO ARHOJ

This is a brilliant and adorable shop selling unique ceramics and glass that are all handmade within the studio itself.  You can actually watch the pieces being made there and then behind the counter.  I had my mind set on a particular design of coffee cup before I visited and thankfully they had just two left out the back.  Expect to find beautiful bowls, mugs of all shapes and sizes and paperweights and expect to pay Scandinavian prices…

Along with my new coffee cup (which made it home in one piece!), we bought a little pin for our pinboard at home to remind us of this unique shop!

Website

PASTRIES & COFFEE

The Danish pastry is famous the world over yet I believe that what we know as the Danish pastry actually began life in Vienna.  However, the bakery scene in Copenhagen nowadays is huge and you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t indulge a little.  I’d love to be able to create a complete guide to the best bakeries and coffee shops in Copenhagen but I could only do that over time with plenty more experience.  Some of the most delicious bakeries that come to mind are Juno the Bakery (specifically for cardamom buns), Sankt Peders Bageri (the oldest in the city – opening in 1652) and Hart Bageri (set up by the former Noma baker, Richard Hart).

The coffee scene in Copenhagen was also really impressive with exceptional independent roasters and cafes all delivering high quality coffee with Scandinavian charm.  I really enjoyed La Cabra and Prolog Coffee with Orsa, Coffee Collective, Andersen & Maillard and Democratic Coffee all being on my list for my return visit.

TAKE A DAY TRIP TO MALMO

Now last, but by no means list, is something that I was most excited about when visiting Copenhagen – the chance to visit a new country and experience the majestic Øresund Bridge that connects Denmark with Sweden.  We pre-booked train tickets online (a little confusing), hopped on at Nørreport Station and, around 40 minutes later, we were in Malmö, Sweden.

Crossing the Øresund Bridge on the train probably wasn’t as exciting as I thought it might be, we only had a view of open sea to the south between the numerous bridge supports.  I imagine driving across is probably the experience I was after but the train is obviously far more convenient.

You could easily spend a full day in Malmö if you wanted to relax a little and hop from coffee shop to restaurant.  We spent around 3 hours in the city, walking the streets from Triangeln to the central part of the city.  It was quiet, perhaps thanks to the terrible weather in mid-August, so it took a while to warm up to the city.  We wandered to Ebbas Hus, a small Swedish home that’s now a museum, for a quick look, before looping round to the two main squares.  I really liked Lilla Torg which I would say is the heart of Malmö; a historic square with old buildings, cobblestone streets and plenty of restaurants and cafes that spill out onto the square itself.  If the weather was a little better, we would have loved to have lunch sitting here watching the world go by.

I’d also recommend exploring the large parks, Kungsparken and Slottsparken in which you can find Malmö Castle.

I obviously much preferred Copenhagen, Malmö can’t complete with the Danish capital, but if you’re like me and want to experience two countries for the price of one, you should definitely try and squeeze in a quick day (of half-day) trip to Sweden.

Either book your ticket in person at Copenhagen Central Station or book online directly or via Omio.


That wraps up my long guide to the most wonderful things to do in Copenhagen which I hope will help you plan your own trip to Copenhagen whether with kids or not. I’m not saying you’ll be able to fit everything in on here especially if you’re only visiting for a few nights but it’s often nice to have a good few ideas or non-negotiables to make the most of your time. Whilst we spent four nights in Copenhagen, I still feel like there’s so much that we didn’t see and I guess that’s what makes Copenhagen such a good city break; you can keep coming visiting and each time you’ll end up with a completely different experience.
