Sightseeing:
Copenhagen is a charming city with buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, beautiful parks and gardens, beautiful promenades along the canals and old winding streets where you can walk and cycle. Add to that the longer days and warmer weather in summer.
Highlights: The Little Mermaid, a smaller statue than you think. Nyhavn is full of cafes, bars and restaurants,Tivoli Have, is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world.Christiansborg Castle,Amalienborg Castle.

Shopping and dining
In the old town, Strøget is actually a collection of pedestrian streets, lined with shops, cafés and restaurants, that extend from this central thoroughfare. These streets lie between the large squares, to the east by Kogens Nytorv and to the west by Radhuspladsen. You won't find the name Strøget on road signs or city maps, but if you ask Copenhagen where to find Strøget, you'll probably get a simple answer.
Eating out and drinking out is quite expensive, but the options are endless: from hot Thai curries to traditional "frikadellers" (Danish meatballs), from sushi to the typical smørrebrød served for lunch, these smørrebrød have all kinds of spicy toppings, which usually including a boiled egg and dill, beetroot, mackerel, roasted onion, cold cuts and goose or pork sauce.
