What do you love most about Copenhagen?
"What I love most is how easily you can see all of your favourite landmarks in a short amount of time. Copenhagen is very walkable and bike-friendly, so get active!"
@takeatripwithdani's Top Tips
"1. Try Frankies Pizza after a long day of sightseeing. 2. Visit stunning Nyhavn; try Guf ice cream along the canal! 3. Visit the city's famous bodegas to truly experience Copenhagen's nightlife."
Favourite time of year to visit Copenhagen
"Spring! It's wonderful because the air is still fresh yet the days are mostly full of sunshine. Arriving in shoulder season is also beneficial to those on a budget as Copenhagen can get quite pricey."
