Anyone got any recommendations? We're off this weekend. We will definitely do the obvious (Tivoli Gardens, Boat Trip, Nyhavn, Rosenborg Castle) and will be doing the Bridge crossing to Malmo on Sunday, as per my previous thread. Looks like that's going to cost me £100! But it's a bucket list thing and my 60th birthday, so hey ho.

We'll have a car and three full days, so just wondered if there's anywhere anyone knows that we could do that's not on the typical tourist trip lists? Got a couple of good tips on the last post that we'll try too

Also any good eatery recommendations would be welcome
 
TorvehallerneKBH Market is a good spot.
Near Nørreport Train Station

Little Brother Pizza 🍕

The Old Irish Pub in Vesterport is good for a few drinks and bit of atmosphere. Hard Rock is over the road too.
 
This craft beer boat serves good stuff, although it was only late August and it was bloody nippy then.

Tivoli is expensive meh. Little Mermaid is good really for the walk along the water from Nyhaven ...but then go back via Gefion Scuplture/waterfall and Bredgarde/Kongensgade (antiques, design etc). Basically just walk everywhere and explore. Suggest a wander around Frederiksberg. From there you can walk along Ravnsborggade, which is quite boho, with cafes, antiques/design/thrift stores...then back via the botannical gdns and kings garden. Nygard, Amergertorv and Ostergard are the main shopping streets... but good for wandering and lead from the Tivoli area and Town Hall square to Nyhavn. I can spend hours on Hyhavn with seafood, wine and plenty of people watching.

If you are 60 then you've seen it all before , streets, museums, architecture, who needs more of that again , just stay in your hotel or A.bnb, order in food, champs and a little hash and binge watch movies , then emerge couple of hours before your flight, get home and tell everybody Copenhagen is great, you should go sometime.
 
By the way take a quick train trip across the Bridge (Bridge fame) to Malmo. Fares are dirt cheap Malmo has a nice square to lunch in.

Also walk up the Round Tower in Copenhagen the spiral was built for horses to climb up. Great views at the top.

See the City by bike tour. It’s the perfect city for cycling around and you will see thousands of them.

Sadly you will miss Tivoli as Zoo says it is closed for the winter.
 
Christiana? - Previous visits, I’ve enjoyed but just check, it was being renovated last year and was not worth the visit. It may have been completed now.

If you have a car (or go by train) get yourself to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art up on the coast about 20 mins away.
I had to be dragged there kicking and screaming but it is a real ‘wow’ experience.

 
Decide what you may want to see. Hire bikes, get a map and start cycling and see what you bump into also.

Assume you're not just getting the train from CPH central station to Malmo if it's costing that much ? I used to work in Malmo and go across the bridge weekly from the airport, and it cost nowhere near that just on the train.
