Rent a city bike (Bycyklen, DKK 29/hour via app) for the most authentic Copenhagen transport experience. The city is flat and cycling infrastructure is exceptional.

Book Geranium and Alchemist tasting menus 3–6 months in advance. For more accessible New Nordic, Amass takes walk-in reservations on the night via its website.
Harbour swimming is not a joke — CopCopenhagen Harbour Baths and Islands Brygge are genuine municipal swimming areas in the harbour, open June–August. The water is certified clean.
The Smørrebrød lunch at Aamanns (book ahead) or the more affordable Hallernes Smørrebrød is an essential Copenhagen experience — herring, roast beef, and egg with cress on dark rye bread.
