SEE:
Stroll through Nyhavn’s Storybook Harbour
Nothing captures the essence of Copenhagen quite like Nyhavn. Lined with strikingly colourful 17th-century townhouses, this picturesque canal is the perfect place for a leisurely walk. Grab a coffee from a cosy café, soak in the lively atmosphere, or embark on a scenic boat tour for a fresh perspective on the city’s waterways.
Meet the city’s most famous resident: The Little Mermaid
No visit to Copenhagen is complete without a stop at the city’s most iconic landmark. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairy tale, the Little Mermaid statue gazes wistfully over the harbour, a symbol of the city’s literary and artistic heritage.
Bike Like a Local…but don’t get in their way.
Cycling isn’t just a mode of transport in Copenhagen—it’s a way of life. With 62% of residents commuting on two wheels, the city is built for biking. Rent a bike and glide through the scenic streets, taking in the sights at your own pace. It’s the most authentic way to experience the city like a true Copenhagen-er.

Dive and bite your way into a Smash Burger…
