Plenty of restaurants to choose from to enjoy a drink or a meal on one of Copenhagen's most beautiful terrasses. Rossopomodoro is my personal favorite, they make amazing pizza. I don't recommend sitting inside though, it gets quite loud. https://illum.dk/food/illum-rooftop?utm_source=Google_Search_OMI&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=FBongoingRooftop&gclid=CjwKCAjwrfCRBhAXEiwAnkmKmdqpcw62NhQ0lFrCyEMOapCeVbs4OXwQlYdpAHZ15x-FIjk0aRQFUhoCDscQAvD_BwE

You cannot visit Copenhagen and not take a stroll in Christiania. The contrast between the clean and neat city that is Copenhagen and this hippie-like independent community is incredible. Want to try a true Danish experience? Go to their sauna (no clothes allowed!): https://www.christiania.org/tags/sauna/

Where all the postcard pictures are taken :) When you are there, make a pit stop at Hyttefadet to get some food and drinks: https://guests.easyguest.dk/guestbook/Hyttefadet You can also walk all the way to the bridge and get a beautiful view onto the main canal and the Opera.

Yes, this is highly touristic. But it is also very worth it! A truly magical place. It is not open during the winter months after Christmas though, check the park's schedule here: https://www.tivoli.dk/en/ When you're there, I recommend eating open sandwiches or 'smørrebrød' at Søcaféen: https://www.tivoli.dk/en/mad-og-drikke/spisesteder/soecafeen

Things to do indoors

Sometimes you don't want to be outside.
Take a break and enjoy a sauna, steam-room or book a hammam or massage treatment. I go there a few times a year and always enjoy it :) https://www.sofiebadet.dk/

Nightlife

For the night owls who want to experience Copenhagen By Night :)
One of the staples of Copenhagen's nightlife. There's plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. If you're fan of beers I'd recommend to go to either WarPigs or Fermentoren, they each have 22+ beers on tap. https://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/neighbourhoods/guide-meatpacking-district
