See: Copenhagen is one of Europe’s most delightful cultural cities with a mixture of European and traditional Scandinavian architecture. Its picturesque cobblestone streets and boat-lined canals remind many visitors of Amsterdam’s charming ambiance.  The city is beautiful, particularly in July and early August when the locals flood en masse to the city’s many parks, cafes, and waterways.

The old city centre is extremely walkable.  For those feeling more adventurous you can hop on one of the city’s free bicycles between April and November. Copenhagen has a world famous reputation as being a green city with an estimated 30%+ of the population commuting to work daily by bicycle.  The flagship city bike program has served as an excellent example for other major cities.

A visit to Copenhagen is not complete without checking out the 17^th century Nyhavn or new harbour.  This postcard-perfect harbour is limited to sail craft only and is lined by vibrantly painted buildings with charming cafes on the first floor. Historic sailing vessels owned by the Danish National Museum float along the south side of the harbour.

From Nyhavn it’s a quick walk to the modern Royal Danish Playhouse which has a beautiful outdoor cafe and wrap around deck in addition to a large pier used for events, performances and sand sports in the summer.  It is also common to see Danes take advantage of the city’s clean waterways as they swim in this area during summer months. Located just across the river is one of the world’s most modern opera houses – the Operaen or Opera House.

In the mood for something more family or date friendly?  Check out Tivoli, a beautiful amusement park in the heart of Copenhagen which was founded in 1843. It is the second oldest amusement park in the world.

Shop: Denmark has developed a world famous reputation for trendy fashion, world-class architects and sought after furniture designs. The city sports a wonderful mixture of modern luxury shopping and small boutique shops offering everything from rugged minimalist designs/fashion to more colourful flamboyant options.

A walk along Strøget, the city’s main shopping street is an absolute must.  A pedestrian only boulevard, it stretches from the large square, Rådhuspladsen, in front of City Hall to Nyhavn and the sprawling Kongens Nytorv square.  Fantastic shopping can also be found in the small boutiques sandwiched in the neighbourhoods between Strøget and Gothersgade.

Looking for something more specific?  Swing by the Torvehallerne, a new shopping centre that combines the feel of an outdoor street market with upscale posh stalls and fine dining-styled coffee, candy, produce, bread, meat and seafood shops.

Copenhagen’s grand department storeshave it all.  Make sure you set aside some time to explore Illum and Magasin both located along Strøget.  Looking for a more traditional mall experience? Check out Field’s with more than 140 shops, 20 restaurants and 148,000 square meters, it claims to be Scandinavia’s largest shopping centre.

Eat: Copenhagen has a world-renowned culinary scene.  In 2011 the city boasted 11 Michelin star restaurants including Noma, which has been hailed as the world’s best restaurant. It also claims one of the world’s greatest chefs, Rasmus Kofoed at Geranium. The city boasts 12 restaurants with the Bib Gourmand designation for affordable fine dining.

Eating on the go?  Copenhagen is famous for its hot dog stands which serve up a wide variety of budget-priced hotdogs throughout the city. Make sure you request all the toppings! They are what really set Danish-dogs apart.

Hop into one of the many local cafes and order a smørrebrød combination. These cornerstones of the Danish diet are open-faced sandwiches served on rich breads and are usually healthy, fresh and delicious. While a bit pricey, Nyhavn 17 and Havfruen located right on the harbour offer smørrebrød with an incredible view!

Drink: The Carlsberg Brewery has played a fundamental role in Copenhagen’s history and acquired the Tuborg Brewery in 1970.  Make sure to set aside a few hours for the Carlsberg Brewery tour before heading to one of the local bars located along Strøget or just off Rådhuspladsen along Vestergade.

Both the Dubliner and Sam’s Bar are two icons of the local bar scene.  But don’t limit yourself - Copenhagen is defined by its small hole-in-the-wall bars many of which are located below street level.

Stay: High-end hotel options include the Hilton, which is located right next to the airport, and the Marriott located on the water with harbor views. Crown Plaza Copenhagen Towers and Clarion Collection Hotel Mayfair provide mid-range value. Looking for something budget friendly? Denmark has a developing hostel scene. Located 4 minutes walk from Nyhavn the recently opened Generator Hostel offers a great facility with a modern design and large bar. Also, consider DanHostel Copenhagen City.

Walk: With its wealth of delightful neighbourhoods and boat-lined canals visitors to Copenhagen should not miss a leisurely stroll through the city’s free Botanical Gardens located just off Nørreport Station which serves as a central hub for transit in the city.  From there, continue east to the old citadel or “kastellet” which is still in active use by the Danish military.  While walking the walls of the old fortress pause at one of Copenhagen’s largest tourist draws:  the Little Mermaid.  The statue was created in 1909 as a tribute to famous Danish author Hans Christian Andersen.  From there consider a stroll to Nyhavn, along Strøget and then across the river to Christianshavn with its moviesque canals. For those feeling slightly more daring consider a trip to the Freetown Christiania.  This self-declared autonomous community is famous for its street vendors, artist community and green light district.  In the summer months a visit to Copenhagen’s fantastic Zoo is also highly recommended.

Get out: Neighbouring Malmö is located across the famous Öresund bridge and is Sweden’s third most populous city. The city has its own unique charm that reflects hundreds of years of trade, industry and cultural exchange with Copenhagen. Even though the city’s are so close, the cultural differences of the two countries are very apparent.

Located about 40 minutes north of Copenhagen is the UNESCO World Heritage site of  Kronborg castle.  The castle is a delightful mixture of a star-fortress design with tall walls and a large central palatial building. Construction began in1574 and it is world famous as the inspiration for Elsinore from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

About 20 minutes west of Kronborg Castle is Frederiksborg Castle. Built as a royal residence for King Christian IV it now serves as the Museum of National History. The largest Renaissance palace in Scandinavia, it boasts fairytale architecture set on three small islands in the middle of a large lake with beautiful sprawling gardens nearby.

Listen: Street performers throughout the city, along the city’s main shopping street and Nyhavn.

Copenhagen is famous for its Jazz scene and is home to a wealth of small hole in the walls but schedules change often so be sure to ask around to find the best place to visit.  In summer months, Copenhagen hosts a citywide Jazz festival, which is ideal for jazz enthusiasts. Want something more intense?  Consider the Roskilde Festival.

Avoid: Copenhagen’s many brief rainstorms. Most pass in 20 minutes, so when one strikes make sure to pop into a local pub or delightful street side cafe for a coffee and wait out the storm!
