The route
Friday to Sunday, properly paced
No.
Don't start at The Little Mermaid.
She's tiny, she's mobbed, and she's a 90-second add-on during a harbour walk — not the heart of your trip. Lead with Nyhavn and the canals instead.
Eat well
One great meal, the rest easy
🔪 Heads-up: Noma returns to Copenhagen in 2026 with a new seasonal restaurant format from 5 August. Reservations are limited and expensive, so do not build a short weekend around securing a table. For similar destination-level dining, also consider Geranium, Alchemist, Jordnær, or casual Manfreds. And remember — service is included, so no tipping required.
