About the city of Copenhagen: Your comprehensive guide

A vibrant mix of modern design and rich history, this Scandinavian capital enchants visitors with its charming canals, stunning architecture, and bike-friendly streets. The colorful waterfront of Nyhavn, lined with historic wooden ships and lively cafés, is the city’s most iconic spot, a must-see for anyone seeking picturesque views. Explore royal palaces, innovative museums, and lush parks as you wander the city's cobbled streets. Don’t miss indulging in local cuisine, from the renowned smørrebrød to Michelin-starred Nordic dining experiences.

Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Copenhagen is a paradise for food lovers, offering a diverse range of dishes that highlight both tradition and innovation. Start your culinary journey with the classic smørrebrød, an open-faced sandwich usually topped with pickled herring, cured meats, or local cheeses. For something more unique, explore New Nordic cuisine, which focuses on fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. Renowned restaurants like Noma and Geranium have helped put this movement on the map, but you'll also find hidden gems serving delicious, modern interpretations of Danish classics.

If you're into street food, head to Reffen, an open-air market where you can sample international flavors alongside Danish treats. For sweet lovers, indulge in Danish pastries, particularly a freshly baked kanelsnegl, or cinnamon roll, at any local bakery. Pair your meals with a glass of aquavit, a traditional Scandinavian spirit, or enjoy a craft beer from one of the city’s many microbreweries, which are gaining international acclaim.

Throughout this audio guide, we’ll point out the nearest highly-rated restaurants based on Google’s user reviews at each stop, so you won’t miss any of the local favorites.

Transportation and getting around the city

Getting from the airport to the city center is super easy. You can hop on the metro or take a train—both run frequently and get you downtown in about 15 minutes. If you prefer a taxi, they’re available right outside the terminal, but be prepared to pay a bit more for convenience. Once you're in the city, public transport is reliable and well-connected. The metro, buses, and trains are all part of the same system, so you can use one ticket across all. A City Pass is great for unlimited travel, and you can buy tickets at stations or via the DOT app.

Walking is probably the best way to soak in the vibe of Copenhagen, especially around neighborhoods like Indre By and Nyhavn, where everything is within strolling distance. For longer journeys or just for fun, renting a bike is practically a local tradition. Taxis are available but not really necessary unless you’re in a rush or need a late-night ride.

If you're thinking about taking a sightseeing tour, the hop-on-hop-off buses are a great option to explore major spots. Tickets are available online or at main attractions and bus stops.

Practical tips: Denmark uses the Danish Krone, but don’t worry about carrying much cash—most places, even small cafes, take cards. And for electronics, make sure you have an adapter for type C or K sockets, as these are the standard. Happy travels!
