Copenhagen Guide 2026
Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark, on the island of Zealand beside the Øresund strait. Colourful harbour houses, canals, a cycling culture and a walkable centre make it a natural gateway to Scandinavia.
What to see in Copenhagen
- Nyhavn: colourful houses and cafes lined along the canal.
- Tivoli Gardens: an amusement park and garden in the city centre, open since the 19th century.
- The Little Mermaid: the statue by the harbour, inspired by the Andersen fairy tale.
- Amalienborg and Strøget: the royal palace square and the long pedestrian shopping street.
When to go
July and August average a high of 20 degrees. January ranges from 4 to 1 degree. Rain falls fairly evenly through the year: July gets 87 millimetres and April 40. From May to September the days are long and walking is easy. Winter is cool and dark falls early.
Getting there from Turkey
Copenhagen opens MBD's Scandinavia and Norway Fjords Tour with the "Meeting Copenhagen" day, and one programme continues from Malmö back to Copenhagen. The tours run 7 nights from Istanbul, flying with Ajet or Turkish Airlines. Dates and prices are on the tour page.
Who it suits
People who like design, architecture and exploring a city by bicycle, and first-time visitors to Scandinavia. If you are on a tight budget for a short break, compare prices first.
