Top Copenhagen Attractions You Can't Miss

Iconic Sights to Hidden Gems

Get set — pick up bikes (city bike / e-bike option)

Collect rental bikes or activate a city-bike account and test brakes and lights on a short loop near the hotel. Choose an e-bike if you expect longer legs or headwind.

Guided social bike tour (Copenhagen Bike Tours)

A 2-hour group-friendly guided bike tour that hits Nyhavn, Amalienborg, the Little Mermaid viewpoint, and Christianshavn — a lively way to learn local stories and get active together.

Guided tasting: Copenhagen Food Tours (market & local producers)

Join a local food-led walking tasting tour that visits producers, samplers and small kitchens — a great way to taste multiple Danish specialties with context and insider stories.

Quick bike tune & spare-parts stop — Copenhagen Bicycles

Short check-up: tyre pressure, lights, and quick gear tune. Carrying a small pump and puncture kit is recommended — shop can supply small spares.

Mølleåen detour — riverside gravel and mills

A quieter, low-traffic 1.5-hour gravel detour along the Mølleåen river valley — shallow grades and scenic mills.

Studio visit & hands-on ceramics session — STUDIO ARHOJ (or local ceramics studio)

An evening studio visit that combines a short tour of the studio practice with a guided ceramics exercise—ideal for designers who want a tactile encounter with material, glaze and form.

Local Tips from the travel experts

Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Copenhagen to help you make the most of your visit.

"Strøget is flat and stroller-friendly; pick the less busy side alleys if you prefer calmer routes with benches.Pop into small toy shops or bakeries for a final kid treat — many shops are used to families and offer quick transactions.If children are tired, allow a short rest in a café with outdoor seating so they can watch the city while recharging."

Stroll Strøget (pedestrian shopping street) — easy walking

"Take-away boxes are perfect for a park bench lunch — avoid sitting too long if you want to keep riding warmed-up legs.The station area has public taps for water refills; fill both bottles before heading back onto gravel tracks.If your ride has room, top up with an electrolyte drink for the afternoon — store it in a frame bag upright."

Lunch & refill — Lagkagehuset (Klampenborg)

"Book a mid‑afternoon departure and request assistance or wheelchair space when reserving tickets; operators commonly help with boarding.Choose a covered boat seat in case of summer showers and to stay sheltered from wind.Bring a light sweater; sea breezes can be cooler even in June, and seating is available throughout the tour."

Short accessible harbour canal cruise from Nyhavn (approx. 60 min)

"Reservation advice: book an early table (18:30) to avoid weekend waits; if you can't reserve, ask the host for the best time window to drop in.Share plates: order a selection (oysters, small hot dishes, fish of the day) to taste a variety — they usually accommodate pescatarian preferences easily.Winter comfort: request a table indoors away from the entry to stay warmer — Meatpacking District can be breezy between venues in winter."

Dinner at Kødbyens Fiskebar (Meatpacking District)

"Dismount and walk your bike in the busiest parts of Christiania — it's respectful and keeps crowded areas calm.Use the outer cycle routes to enter and exit Christiania; the inner lanes are better enjoyed on foot.Keep lights on even when walking — paths are dim and November dusk comes early; reflective clothing is appreciated by locals."

Afternoon ride through Freetown Christiania — relaxed, cultural loop

"Child comfort: sit on one of the wide benches under the trees if available — quieter than the main quay and good for stroller naps.Allergy-aware snack options: many stalls offer fruit cups or sorbets (dairy-free) if a child has milk allergies.Timing: use this time to change diapers or swap into cooler layers — close toilets are behind the canal restaurants and in nearby arcades."

Snack & rest at Nyhavn — gelato or shaded bench time

"Ask for a quieter table toward the back or near the window to keep the meal intimate.Share a couple of dishes so you can sample more and keep the meal conversational rather than rushed.Reserve midday to avoid the after-work crowd and to ensure table availability in summer."

Unhurried lunch at Café Norden

"Ask for a window seat to watch low winter sun across the horizon — great for tonal studies and colour notes.Museums in Denmark often source local seasonal produce — ask staff about ingredient provenance for design inspiration tied to locale.Buy a small wrapped pastry or a booklet as a tactile design memory of the visit; the café staff can suggest packaged souvenirs that travel well."

Lunch at Louisiana café — seasonal menu overlooking the sea

"Sit near the fireplace or inside corner for best hygge atmosphere and soft light ideal for reviewing photos on a laptop or phone.Order a danish or small seasonal plate to study plating and pastry design for tabletop and packaging ideas.If you purchased fragile items earlier, use this pause to rewrap and ensure items are secure for travel."
